Running out of things to say is the fastest way to kill a good conversation. The fix isn’t a script, it’s having a few great questions in your back pocket and knowing how to use them. Below are 120 questions to ask a girl, sorted by situation, from the first minutes to late-night texting.

How to ask without it feeling like an interview
- Statement first, then question. “You look like someone who travels a lot. Where was the last place you went?” feels like a conversation. “Do you travel?” feels like a form.
- Follow up before you move on. If she says she loves hiking, ask where her favorite trail is, not the next question on your list.
- Share your own answer. A good conversation goes back and forth.
- Read her energy. Short answers and no questions back? Lighten up or give her space.
- Tease a little. A playful comment on her answer is more attractive than a perfect question.
- Don’t fire them all at once. Three good questions per conversation are plenty.

Questions to avoid
- Her body or looks in detail. Compliments, yes; questions, no.
- Her exes and her “number”. Not in the first conversations.
- Interview questions as an opener, like “What do you do?” and nothing else.
- Yes/no questions in a row. They kill the flow.
- Anything you’d hate to be asked yourself.
Once she’s answering with enthusiasm and asking questions back, that’s usually a good sign. Here’s more on how to tell if a girl likes you and how to get a girl to like you.
Questions readers ask
What questions make a girl blush?
Playful questions about you two or about attraction, asked with a smile, for example "What was your first impression of me?" or "What's the most attractive thing a guy can do?". Keep it light and only go there when the mood is already flirty.
What should I ask a girl over text?
Short, easy questions that invite a story, like "What's the best thing that happened to you today?" or "What are you obsessed with right now?". Avoid "wyd" and "how are you", and suggest meeting up once the conversation flows.
What should you not ask a girl you just met?
Skip questions about her body, her exes, her salary or how many guys she has dated. Also avoid interview questions like "Where do you work?" as the very first thing; they make the conversation feel like a job interview.
