Getting a conversation going can be tough. But if you’re looking for questions to ask a guy, don’t overthink it. What matters most isn’t gender — it’s what you want out of the moment!
Maybe you’re fishing for flirty questions to ask your crush while texting. Maybe you’re looking for personal questions to ask a guy friend, to take the friendship a little bit deeper. Or maybe you’re just killing time and need something to ask your bestie’s older brother before things get awkward. Whatever gabbing-with-guys situation you’re in, we’ve rounded up more good questions than you’ll probably have time to ask. (But if we’re wrong and you make it through ‘em all, you can always pull from our list of questions to ask a girl or our fave questions to get to know someone!)
Think of this list as your conversation-starter starter pack, full of questions to ask a guy on a first date when nerves kick in, good questions to ask your boyfriend when you’re already official, and silly-to-deep questions to ask a guy friend you want to know better. Having a few go-tos ready will make the whole convo way less stressful — and a lot more fun. Eventually (hopefully!) things will start to flow after a thoughtful planted question or three. But if they don’t, don’t stress too much — because we’ve put together plenty of questions across topics and vibes below to keep things moving.
Ahead, check out our favorite questions to ask a guy (or honestly, anyone you want to know better).
