Questions to ask your boyfriend: funny, sweet and flirty

Most boyfriends will answer anything if the question is fun enough. Here are questions sorted by mood, plus a quick guide on which ones to use on the couch, in the car or at 1 AM.

Good questions to ask your boyfriend aren't deep or complicated. They're the ones he can answer in five seconds and then keep talking about for twenty minutes because the answer came with a story.

This list is sorted by mood. Pick the section that fits where you are right now, ask one, answer it yourself too, and see where it goes.

Which questions to use when

• Bored on the couch: funny and random. Low effort, high laughs.
• Early in the relationship: getting to know him. You learn the small stuff fast.
• Late at night: sweet and future. The lights are off, he's more honest.
• Testing him for fun: questions about yourself, then rage bait.
• In the car or on a walk: rage bait. Something to argue about for the whole drive.
• Over text: flirty. One at a time, never a list.

Questions to ask your boyfriend to test his love (playful rage bait)

These are designed to start a fake argument. Keep it light, laugh at the answers, nobody actually wins.

• Be honest, would you share your last chicken nugget with me or with your best friend?
• If my cooking was bad, would you tell me or keep eating it for a year?
• If your mom had to referee our next disagreement, whose corner is she standing in?
• If I wanted to redecorate your gaming setup, how much of it would you let me touch?
• If I beat you at your favorite video game, are you laughing or uninstalling it?

If this is your favorite section, the Rage Bait deck in the app is built entirely out of questions like these.

How to keep it from feeling like an interview

The fastest way to kill a good question is to fire the next one before he finishes answering. A few rules help:

• Answer it yourself too. It's a conversation, not a quiz.
• Follow the funny answer. If he says something unexpected, ask "wait, why?" before moving on.
• Swap who asks. Let him pick the next question, even if he picks a terrible one.
• Don't save them all for one night. Five good questions beat thirty rushed ones.

If you want something to do the picking for you, a card deck works well: one phone between you, swipe, read it out, answer. It removes the pressure of thinking up the next question yourself.

Over text or on FaceTime

Questions are one of the easiest long distance habits. Send one in the morning and wait for the answer. Ask for a voice note when the question is funny, because the way he laughs while answering is half the fun. Save the sweet and future questions for a call, when you can actually see his face while he thinks.

The point isn't to collect answers. It's to keep finding small new things about someone you already know well, and to laugh a little more while you do it.
