Getting to know someone takes time and often a good amount of effort. And unless they are exceptionally verbose; you’ll probably need to ask quite a few questions to get to know them on a deeper level.
Here I’ve compiled some of my favorite questions for getting to know someone. These questions are handpicked from my much longer article of 200 Questions to Get to Know Someone. They are some of my favorite questions from the list and ones that I think are particularly effective at getting to know someone.
Keep in mind that many of these aren’t your run of the mill “get to know you” questions. I find the most unexpected questions are more likely to get unexpected and truthful answers.
Let’s start with some questions that are ideal when first getting to know someone. This section has the most questions because when first getting to know someone you usually don’t want to get too personal.
These questions are great if you’re really hitting it off with someone you just met, or if you’ve known the person for a while and want to get to know them better.
These questions are more for people you know well already but want to get to know them on a deeper level. I’ve only chosen a few for this category because most of questions you’ll be using to get to know someone will be in the previous categories.
