Eager to get close to your guy? Try asking him some of these deep personal questions, and you could get him to open up some hidden secrets about himself. At first, the questions might sound funny or uncomfortable, but by the time he starts answering, many mysteries will be unraveled, and you will get to know him better. Here we have a huge list of such questions.
Good Questions To Ask A Guy To Get To Know Him
Knowing the personality of a guy you just met will go a long way in informing you of the type of person he is. You will also be properly informed to decide and determine what will be become of your acquaintance with him. Of course, it’s not every question you can ask him but the questions below, though basic, are deep enough to reveal some personal things about him.
- What is your temperament?
The very first thing you might want to find out in a guy is his temperament. He can be any of sanguine (enthusiastic, active, and social), choleric (short-tempered, fast, or irritable), melancholic (analytical, wise, and quiet), and phlegmatic (relaxed and peaceful) or a mix of two temperaments. Bear in mind, though, that some guys don’t know their temperament, so you can explain these temperaments’ characteristics and explain which best defines them.
2. What is your zodiac sign?
Besides knowing someone’s temperament, you can get ahead by asking about which Zodiac sign they were born under. People born under a particular Zodiac sign tend to have certain characteristics associated with them. Moreso, certain Zodiac signs are compatible with the other, while some aren’t
3. How often do you exercise daily?
Though it is recommended for an adult to exercise at least 30 minutes every day, some guys simply don’t see the reason for this, while others go above this minimum recommendation. One’s exercise habit has a lot of input on his/her overall health status. So knowing what your boyfriend’s attitude is to exercise can help you gauge how serious he takes his physical wellbeing.
4. How important is religion or spirituality to you?
Before you ask him, ask yourself how important religion or spirituality is to you and how welcoming you will be to someone who has a contrary religious or spiritual view to yours. If you have answered this already, then your boyfriend’s response to you will probably start a long discussion on the subject matter if you both have divergent views and hold on sternly to them. On the other hand, you may both just laugh over his response and move on to other things.
5. What’s an ideal weekend for you?
Weekend to many people is for relaxation and socialization. For others, they might not be at liberty to relax and socialize as much you do. Knowing what a guy’s weekend is like, especially when you are both getting to know each other, is a step in the right direction for having compatible social lives.
6. Do you have any phobias?
Arachnophobia, ophidiophobia, aerophobia, trypanophobia are some of the phobias people have. Many guys will hardly ever admit they have a phobia for something, but you won’t know till you ask. Perhaps, your boyfriend has a phobia for something you won’t even flinch about.
7. What makes you angry?
With this question, you can quickly find out if he is a hot-tempered person or someone that is easily irritable.
8. What is your goal in life?
Not only will you have an idea of where he is headed in life, but you will also find out how serious he is with attaining such a goal when you ask him what he is currently doing to achieve the goal.
9. Are you confrontational?
One of the good qualities of a confrontational person is that such a person is not shy. Their opinion will hardly ever be surprised without being heard. However, if your boyfriend admits to being too confrontational, then he should probably get psychological help.
10. Are you an early or late person?
This question might seem odd for someone who is usually a late person because perhaps he might have been asked this before. Nevertheless, you need to know that you will be there right on schedule, at least in your next meeting.
11. Do you look forward to having children?
It is the norm to plan and expect to have children once your relationship matures to the point you consider spending your lives together. But time has changed, and people now want different things in life. Instead of having children, some couples would rather have none, others will prefer to adopt from foster homes, and still, some would rather be content having a pet or pets as the case may be. Whatever your boyfriend’s response will be, make sure he knows yours and what you both want will it align with each other. You can still reach compromises and be better with your decisions.
12. What’s the biggest struggle that you’ve ever faced?
Don’t judge his response to this question based on your perception of how serious or trivial the problem is. People face different problems in life, which also get compounded by certain conditions around them. Rather, judge him, try to offer a solution where you can, or encourage him to persevere.
13. Did you ever sleep with stuffed animals?
Sleeping with stuffed animals is something most kids do, but some adults still cling to the habit. Studies have shown that adults who still do this do it to combat loneliness, anxiety, and other negative feelings. Though this is often associated with kids, it’s not harmful to adults who still cling to this habit.
14. What skills do you want to master?
This question is forward-looking and will also result in another question: what are you currently doing to master that skill. Overall, it seeks to understand what your boyfriend is into or what he is seeking to go into.
15. What are some of the morals you live by?
It could be truthfulness, honesty, kindness, perseverance, keeping to a promise, dependability, etc. Someone who lives a moral life commands lots of respect.
