| Questions to ask to get to know someone. Posted: 8/16/2005 9:47:49 PM | Hey gang i thought i would start this forum for ideas on question to ask someone to get to know them if that makes sense. I know there are the usual like What do you like to do in your spare time? or What do you look for in a partner? I am looking for hard questions brain stumpers. If you have one or some then post them here so others can use them if they like.

| Questions to ask to get to know someone. Posted: 8/16/2005 11:40:19 PM | I usually ask a guy If you could describe yourself in 3 words, what would they be?
It seems to get people to think a little better about themselves - The added bonus is that if they give you an answer that's completely superficial, you know exactly what they expect, and it tends to give you an idea on if they're shallow or not...It seems to give the best impression from chatting about people.
Cheers

P.S.: There are always a lot of rocks at the bottom of any lake  | |

| Questions to ask to get to know someone. Posted: 8/17/2005 1:48:29 AM | Ask open ended questions:
How did you decide to live where you do? What lifestyle would you like to have? How do you feel about your career and current job? Of what are you most proud in your life? What do you hope to be doing 5 years from now? If you could live your life over again, what would you do differently? What do you do when you want to treat yourself well? Do you like risks, or do you avoid them? What major risks have you taken in your life? What are your weaknesses? How do you deal with them? What are your favorite books, TV shows, movies and music? What are the most important aspects of your life? If you met your partner through an online dating service, what would you tell your friends and family when they asked where you met?
On the other hand, if people ask for money, intensely personal questions or your hand in marriage (especially before meeting), I'd run! | |

| Questions to ask to get to know someone. Posted: 8/17/2005 10:33:26 AM | I like to ask questions that do not have definitive answers...... something that requires thinking about how you would handle a certain situation......or what they see as cause and effect, ie; "We are in a restaurant having dinner........you lean over and whisper something in my ear that makes me smile.......what did you say?" | |

That's actually a question of questions. I can then know her career goal, lifestyle, her view of the world and life, what is important to her, what made her the person she is, etc, etc, It is a fire starter and the conversation can last for hours. She will appreciate you ask that question. She will feel an adrenline shot and a strong bonding to you. So take the time to know the lady. :) | |

| Questions to ask to get to know someone. Posted: 8/17/2005 8:47:55 PM | I'm a little on the chunky side.... I had a really drunk person come up to me in the local saloon, AKA meat market one time, and she said "Wow - You must have a really impressive di*k" I asked her why, and her reply was "Well, lookit the awning you built over it!"
I got the last laugh though - I saw her passed out in a corner about 20 minutes later.... | |

Too funny.
Your idea of a first date is hillarious too. Keep it up. I hope you posted your profile in the other thread about the worst profiles. Damn, there are some funny ones in there. Check out wattafind and peaceful_hermit. Holy crap, just read peaceful_hermit again. I am crying. Sorry, off topic... | |

These are just a few of the 'getting to know you' type questions I use. It really helps tell you some things about who you're talking with, I think so anyway. | |
