Are you confused about what your girlfriend wants and unsure what to ask her? We have over 500 questions to get conversations rolling and build your relationship.
20 Best Questions to Ask Your Girlfriend
Your desire to be intentional in your relationship makes you incredibly attractive to your girlfriend. She needs to be seen and heard by you.
According to research by Harvard1https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/do-women-talk-more-than-men/, the amount of talking done by men and women is situational, and women talk more when they are seeking collaboration. As you ask questions, approach it as a way to develop attunement and connection together. If she senses you’re seeking relational collaboration, she’ll be more prone to open up and communicate how she really feels.
These questions will help you attune to your girlfriend by learning about her heart, values, and needs.
- What is your most treasured memory?
Get your girlfriend talking about positive things—the memories that give her all the good feels and make her smile. Even though you weren’t there, when she shares those memories with you it connects you to a piece of her past.
- How have your parents impacted your view of love and relationships?
This is a big one.
Did she grow up in a secure family environment? Did her parents show her healthy love, or cause her to doubt or even fear love relationships? Don’t probe too deeply on this one if she seems closed to sharing.
- What are some of the cultural pressures that people put on you as a woman?
Every woman faces layers of pressure about her body, her career, and the checkpoints of success. Society and family often places expectations of how to be sexy, beautiful, and successful, without being too sexy, too beautiful, and too successful.
- What question have you been wanting to ask me?
Sometimes, a woman needs you to make it easy to ask questions she might not naturally blurt out in the middle of a conversation.
Pro Tip: Don’t get offended by her question, whatever it may be. Instead, show you have nothing to hide and that you are confident and secure with no need to be defensive.
- What are your 5 travel essentials?
What does she value so much she can’t live without?
- What was the best gift you’ve given someone else?
If she’s thoughtful and unlikely to brag on herself, this question shows you a part of her she might keep quiet. You’ll also learn about how she thinks, and maybe even how sneaky she can be when planning a surprise.
Follow up questions:
- How did they respond?
- How did you know they would love it?
- What was your favorite book in high school? What’s your favorite book now?
This is a fun question that can lead to conversations on what she was like in high school and how she’s changed over the years. Hopefully, she has! You want a girlfriend who grows with her experiences and hasn’t stayed in a strange time warp of never changing.
Follow-up questions:
- What did/do you love about the book?
- Who was your favorite person?
- Do you think it should have had a different ending?
- What do you identify with in the book?
- Have you read other books by that author? What did you think?
- What are your physical boundaries?
This is a great question to ask early in the relationship so you’re both on the same page. Find out what she’s comfortable with and what her cultural or religious beliefs are around physical intimacy.
- What was your favorite breakfast cereal as a kid?
You can learn a lot about her and even her background from this fun and innocuous question. If all you discover is a shared obsession with Cocoa Puffs, this question is a warm and fuzzy dose of nostalgia.
- What do you believe about life after death?
Do you have compatible spiritual views? Find out the answer to this question early on, and explore how important it is to be compatible in this area.
- What do you wish a guy would ask you but never has?
If you want her to feel attracted to you, give her control of the conversation. Ask her a question that says, “I don’t expect to do all the talking in this relationship. I want to hear what you have to say and I’m open to talking about what is important to you.”
Pro Tip: While she’s talking, lean forward, quickly nod three times, and keep your ears open. Maintain good eye contact so she knows you really care about the answer to this question.

Follow-up questions:
- When you’re upset, do you need space or support?
- Should I ask you questions or just sit with you?
- Do you want food or gifts to cheer you up, or do you need me to just hold you?
- Can I ask what you need when your upset or does that make it worse?
- What do you like most about yourself?
How does she perceive herself? Does she underestimate her positive qualities or overestimate them? It’s good to know how she views herself, and you can even build her up in the areas she feels strongest.
Pro Tip: After she answers, tell her what you like most about her (hint: now is not the time to compliment her butt or her lips, stick to character qualities).

It’s never comfortable to ask someone if they have mental or physical concerns, but when you’re in a relationship it’s important to know what your SO is struggling with.
- If you’re angry, what do you do?
Is she passive-aggressive? Does she hold a grudge just waiting to get even? If this is an area she’s working to grow in, progress slowly and pay attention to any toxic patterns that emerge. Help her express her emotions so you can work through it together.
- What are your political views and ideals?
If you’re starting to get serious, do a values check. Do you have similar political views, and if not, are you comfortable with that?
- What do other people do that frustrates you?
Learn how she handles stress and what her pet peeves are. If you know her frustrations, you can avoid annoying her. You can also keep an eye out for when she’s getting frustrated and help by distracting her attention or saying something funny.

It sounds like such a simple question, but it gives you so much important information. Ask this early (even on the first date) to find out what you have in common.

Pro Tip: Don’t ask direct questions about possible abuse such as, “Have you experienced domestic violence?”.
She may not be ready to tell you about the things she has experienced, and a direct question takes away her ability to choose.
