Finding true love can be stressful on so many levels; for a lot of people, the fear of being rejected has kept them away from even trying, just as some simply don’t know how to talk to someone they are crushing on. It is not hard to see why talking to your crush seems to be very tasking. You want to make a good and lasting impression, so it is only natural that you have spent a great deal of time replaying how things could play out in your head.

Questions To Ask Your Female Crush To Learn More About Them 

When you get the chance to initiate a conversation with someone you have secretly admired for a while, go all out for it but be sure you are prepared and wouldn’t come across as desperate. To have your mind in the right place, think of it as an opportunity to make a new friend. You can kick off the conversation with an impersonal but interesting question that would soon have the person sharing her biographical information with you. Mind you, things could quickly get awkward if you ask a question you can’t naturally follow up, such that a mere “yes” or “no” answer can put to rest. Below are some examples:

1. If you had the chance to choose where you were born, where would it be?

This question is an intriguing alternative to the usual “where are you from?”. It does more than just providing information about a person’s place of birth and hometown. It is a gateway to learning about your crush’s upbringing and childhood experiences. She might end up sharing stories about their early life that are dear to her heart. This would only have the person feeling close and comfortable talking with you. The question can also provide useful insight into how your crush thinks and how they see things. Through it, you might realize you don’t really want to date them. With this question, you would find that there are many other natural conversation paths to pursue.

2. You have quite a unique life view, what did you study in college?

What someone studied can tell a lot about them and some people need to have romantic partners that are college-educated. As such, it might be necessary to ask this question. If so, it must be done in a manner that isn’t formal. Remember, it is not a business conversation: the goal is to endear yourself to your crush. Through this question, you can easily further the conversation and learn about what the person does for a living.

3. What would you be doing if you weren’t a teacher/nurse/chef?

You don’t have to be certain what the person does for a living before you ask this question. YES, you can assume whatever career you want but be certain it comes off as a compliment rather than insulting. Through this question, you can learn about the dreams and aspirations of your crush, the disappointments they have faced in life, and what they have achieved. You would realize when you ask her this question that there are many things to talk about all of a sudden.

4. What has taught you the biggest life lesson?

More than being one of the fun questions you can ask your crush, this question, like the first three, is an opportunity to get to know more about the person you have been admiring secretly. It is an effective question to ask if you want her to share her life experiences with you. The question would most likely be thrown back at you, so be ready to answer it meaningfully and sincerely.

5. What is the one thing you have done you would want everyone to try?

This is an enthralling question that might have you asking your crush out before you realize what’s happening. It creates the moment for her to tell you about how she spends her leisure time and the fun things she has always hoped to do someday. Let’s assume she expresses a desire to embark on any outdoor activities, you can capitalize on that and invite her to any of such recreation.

6. Do you think there is really life after death?

When you are crushing on someone, it’s most likely you don’t know who they are. The intense infatuation you have been feeling might evaporate with the realization that she is not compatible with you. A fascinating inquiry like this presents the ticket to explore the mind of your crush in terms of their values, beliefs, religious views, and whatnot. These factors are meaningful things to consider if you are committed to pursuing a romantic relationship with her.

7. What do you think being queer is like for people?

For a lady crushing on a lady, this question might help you learn if your crush is open to having relationships that are not heterosexual. But then, she would likely see through the essence of this question. So you might as well be upfront with it, or carefully stir your conversation towards the aspect before asking the questions.

Subtle Questions for Expressing Your Intentions to Your Female Crush

If you feel attracted to a girl and talking to her becomes a big deal, then it is only natural you might not find the right words to express your feelings even after establishing an acquaintance with the person. But with some riveting questions that sustain a conversation, you can hint at your intentions and even make them clear. This way, you buy some time to know her more and get comfortable around her pending the time you would explicitly express your feelings and what you want from her.

8. How would you know someone is into you?

This is probably the most effective of all questions to ask your crush if you suspect they are also attracted to you. It might mark the beginning of a relationship between you and her if she really fancies you. It’s a shot at confirming if the two of you have chemistry.

9. What do you find most attractive in people?

Like the question above, this is also a way of letting a girl you are crushing on express how she feels about you if you suspect she’s also crushing on you. Listen carefully to what she would say and don’t be surprised if she talks about some turn-offs that seem to describe you, especially if you have known each other for a while.

10. What is the most pleasant thing someone can do for you?

Depending on her response, you should know if she is someone you want to commit to or someone to casually date. The response of people who are ready for a serious relationship typically has some level of depth; those looking forward to having fun without much commitment would give a shallow and materialistic answer.

11. If you must dedicate a song to me, what would it be? 

Songs have always been a means through which people find expression for their inner feelings. So it’s possible the song she names would provide insight into the way she feels about you. If you feel the need, you can ask her why she picked the song. There would be a lot to talk about thereafter if you have been struggling to keep the conversation going.

12. How can someone who likes you add value to your life?

One of the most powerful questions to ask your crush, this question is an engaging way of conveying how much you want to make a meaningful contribution in her life. For many people, there is nothing as appealing as someone who is not only interested in being with them but also willing to support and push forward their life goals.

It would be hard for her to not take you seriously after this. But remember that words must be backed with actions, so there is no point asking this if you are not really interested in being a supportive partner. You would be regarded as a manipulator at the end of it all.

13. When you are having a bad day, what is the one thing that can turn things around? 

A strong bond can emanate between you and her through this. Although it doesn’t seem like it, her answer would be letting you in on something she might not have shared with anyone. As such, her mind is immediately tricked into seeing you as someone who understands her. If there was never a chance for the two of you, there would be something to count on after asking this and following up with questions like “what’s your worst day ever and how did you cope?”

14.  Apart from your known names, what other name would you like to be called?

It goes beyond being a fun question that sustains a conversation if she gives any name other than her known names or nickname, and doesn’t mind you referring to her with the new name thereafter. It would create a form of exclusivity between you and her, something only the two of you share.

15. What would be the perfect way for someone to ask you out?

This is one of the bold questions to ask your crush. Nothing hints at your intention more than that; if she is a straightforward person, she might create the chance for you to express your feeling by asking why you asked the question.

If romance is a big deal for her and she had thought of being asked out recently, she should give a detailed description that only goes to show she’s expecting someone to ask her out. That person might just be you.
