Top Questions to Ask Your Boyfriend
I’m all about intentional dating, which is why I created The Icebreakers conversation starter cards. Picture this: you’re on a date, pulling out a deck packed with deep questions to ask your partner, turning an ordinary night into something extraordinary. Here’s a sample of thought-provoking questions from one of our decks:
- Do you have any hidden talents that surprise people?
- (This question is designed to make him feel comfortable and open up naturally.)
- What’s the biggest challenge you’ve ever overcome, and what did it teach you?
- (This question encourages introspection and reveals his core beliefs and values more.)
- How do you see relationships evolving over time?
- (Talking about the future can reveal how he envisions his life and where you might fit it.)
- What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to ask me but haven’t yet?
