21 Questions To Ask A Guy By Category
If you’re tired of small talk or you just want to get to know a guy in a more interesting way, asking the right questions can make all the difference. Whether you’re texting someone new, hanging out with your boyfriend, or on a first date trying not to spiral into the “what do you do for fun” loop again—these 21-question sets are here to help.
I broke them down into categories so you can pick the vibe you’re going for. Want to laugh? I’ve got you. Need something deeper or more personal? Covered. First date? We’re keeping it smooth, not awkward.
Use them to spark a real conversation—or mess with him a little, in the best way.
