Frequently asked questions
What are the best questions to get to know someone?
The best questions are open-ended, can't be answered in one word, and invite an honest reaction. Start light, then gradually get more personal.
What questions should I ask online?
When chatting online, short, playful questions work best because they're easy to answer. Pick one from the list and don't ask several at once.
Can I use these questions with friends too?
Yes, many work great with old friends – you'll often discover something you never knew about each other.
