When you’ve just met someone new, it is natural for you to want to know everything there is to know about this person.
Most importantly, you want to know who they are as a person and if the two of you have anything in common and to see if you can imagine yourself being with them.
You’ll probably ask them some basic things and you’ll cover some of the typical conversation topics; you’ll want to know how they’ve spent their day and you’ll ask them to tell you more about their hobbies, education or career.
But the truth is that none of this will help you see the real them. If you want to know the essence of the person sitting next to you, you’ll have to think outside of the box and you’ll have to make your date a little bit different.
Because sadly, most of the initial conversation topics typical of the starting stage of a relationship are actually pretty shallow and are just small talk, without any follow-up questions. It’s like nobody even tries to get to the bottom of the other person and to get to know them for real.
A similar situation is with couples who have been together for a long time.
You spend years of your life with a person but after a while, you get to the point where you ask yourself if you can say that you know your partner for real.
Yes, you know their habits and routines and you know some basic stuff about them but have the two of you ever tackled any deep topics or philosophical questions?
Or have you been asking them the same types of questions for as long as you can remember?
So, here are 100 deep personal questions to ask a guy or girl you are just getting to know or to debate over with your life partner.
The truth is that talking about deep topics can be quite challenging but trust me—it will be worth it.
