One of the best ways to get to know someone you may be interested in is to ask questions. While in the beginning asking the standard questions about favorite music, foods, and family relationships is acceptable, you want to expand the topics as you start to become comfortable with one another. Random questions are a fun way to do this without going over the line.
Genre Questions
A great way to get to know more about a person is to ask them questions based on different genres. Ask things like their favorite 80s arcade games, favorite cartoons from their childhood, or most memorable movie they saw as a child are all great icebreakers and will lead to more questions. You may be surprised at how much you have in common as well. These types of questions are non-threatening, and can increase the comfort levels very quickly.
Silly Questions
Silly random questions can help you get to know someone quickly as well. Ask her what type of animal she would be, what her dream car is, or what her favorite scented soap is. These may seem silly, but after they answer ask them why they chose that. The answers may surprise you and give you valuable insight in to their personality. Just be prepared to have the same questions asked of you, so avoid anything you don’t want to talk about.
