As part of the mission here at EndangeredEmoji.com, we hope to help people get to know each other better. To stick with that goal, here is a list of the best questions to ask a girl that will help you learn about the girls in your life.
The intent behind these questions is for you to use them to springboard your conversation into more profound subjects. Some of them may only require simple answers, but others have a plethora of follow-up questions that I hope your discussions will lead to. These questions will be helpful for your conversation with any girl. Whether you are interested in a girl romantically or want some ideas on how to get to know your daughter, sister, or best friend better, these questions will give you a great springboard into interesting and meaningful conversations.
Best Questions to Ask a Girl
The first 50 questions include commentary to help spark the conversation and give you some ideas on where to go with your answers and conversation. Once you get the sharing going and your mind-juices flowing with the first 50 questions, you can go to the 150 extra questions without commentary or simply click here to skip to that set of questions right away. Good luck!
