Looking for conversation starters? Different questions to ask on dating apps to make conversation more interesting and exciting? Do you want to get to know the person better – really touch deeper than surface level? Then you’ve come to the right place! Here’s 100 different questions to ask when dating. Uh huh, you’ll be fully equipped with ideas by the end of this!
When Do You Use These Conversation Starters?
Well, whenever you want. Some work as openers – some are a bit deeper, so you may want to ease into them, once some of the seemingly standard (but still engaging) questions are out the way.
It’s also not advised to ask all of these questions at once, clearly… that would be weird!! Like some sort of intense love interview. Ha! But, these will certainly give you a lot of insights into what this person is all about and they’re cool to throw in here and there.
Use them as part of a virtual date night (with lots of quick fire questions!), or turn it into a game if you’ve started to get to know the other person better now… You could try to guess their answers and use a points system to add a bit of competition. It would certainly be interesting to see who’s been listening to the other person the most!
Sounds good? Then let’s get into some of our top questions to ask when dating. (You’ll have plenty to choose from that’s for sure!)
