Here are 85 questions to ask a girl, organized by stage: openers for someone new, deeper questions once the conversation has legs, flirty ones when the vibe is right, and rapid-fire for texting. Use them as starting points, not a script.

FAQ

What are good questions to ask a girl you like?

Start with openers that invite stories (“what’s a place you still think about?”), then follow her energy. Flirty questions land best after real conversation, not instead of it — interest in her answers is the actual flirt.

What questions should I ask a girl over text?

Rapid-fire ones — short to answer, easy to volley. One question per message, and react to her answer before sending the next. A text conversation is ping-pong, not a questionnaire.

How do I avoid making it feel like an interview?

Share your own answer after she does, and skip questions when the conversation naturally flows elsewhere. The list is a fallback for silences, not a checklist to complete.
