What are the best questions to ask someone to get to know them better?
I am always curious about how people go about getting to know other people they are interested in. How do you pick what to say?
If you tell people about your self hen they are more likely to disclose in a piecemeal fashion things about themselves. I prefer this than being so forward in such a direct question. People are generally afraid of judgement and criticism therefore i find the softly approach works best.
I like to ask questions. If it is a date. You can ask where they went to school for starters , what are their interests, where they are originally from. Then they can ask the same questions of you. The best thing to do is be a good listener in any situation
Try starting with their name. That is a good place to start.
The best question is the one ask genuinely..
When you develop that, you would find that there is no wrong question in and of themselves.
But people who are not genuine makes the questions so.
