Do you find it difficult talking with girls that you don’t know that well? If so, you are not alone. Many people have problems starting conversations with others, especially the opposite sex.
This may be because you are shy or just tongue-tied in a female’s presence, especially if there might be chemistry there. But here’s the good news… we’ve compiled a list of more than 100 questions to ask a girl to help mitigate these issues.
They will serve as interesting and seemingly harmless conversation starters to get things moving in the direction you want. Some questions will even help keep the conversation going after it gets started… which is key to forging a new and meaningful relationship.
What are This or That Questions?
Some of the best ways to begin a conversation are with this or that questions. These questions differ from open-ended questions, as they prompt a person to choose between two options.
Open-ended questions compel the responder to address the question in detail without any comparison. Conversations will be more interesting and provide more elements to explore when they begin with a question that forces a person to make a choice.
The best part is once the choice is made, the conversation is open for discussion… including additional follow-up questions. That’s what really makes this or that questions the best type to ask a girl.
Before you know it, you’re engaged in a conversation that just might lead to a deeper relationship, whether that means friendship or something more. So let’s get started!
