10 Conversation Starters to Ask your Girlfriend

Conversation starters are your life blood when it comes to talking to people, not to mention women. They're direct and will provide you with a wealth of knowledge about the girl you're talking to.
If you're dating her, conversation starters for couples are more geared towards improving an already strong relationship. They're usually fun and get the conversation off on a lighthearted note.
Here are 10 conversation starters to ask your girlfriend:
1. What cheesy song do you have memorized?
Goofy songs are always fun to share with someone. And when you hang out with her you can belt it out together. This one is my favorite.
2. What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done?
We all have that one time where we almost died. This is a good opportunity to share your experience as well, which will make her more comfortable knowing that you can admit you get scared sometimes.
3. What is the one thing you find weird, but attractive in a person?
You'd be surprised some of the things people find attractive (slightly NSFW because fetishes). Maybe you're really hairy and she's into hairy dudes. This is the best way to know!

4. What are your top played songs on Spotify/iTunes/etc?
Ask her to play them the next time you're in the car together. You might find something you like! Common ground is always good for a relationship and life per se.
5. What’s your favorite place to go for lunch?
This question to ask to your girlfriend is the perfect excuse and the best way to meet up with her for lunch some time if you can! A relationship is something that gets better over food, right?

6. If you can change one thing about the world, what would it be?
Of course, there are things in life we cannot change, but we can always do wishful thinking.
7. What's the furthest you’ve ever got a paper airplane to fly?
Challenge her to a dollar bill paper airplane contest. Whoever makes the airplane that flies the farthest gets to keep both dollars!
8. What's the one thing you love about being your gender? If you could change to a man, would you do it?
This one has the potential to introduce sex into the conversation, but please consider where you are in the relationship before you go there.

9. When you talk about me to others, what do you say?
Women tell their girlfriends everything, especially the guy their dating. This is the best way to make sure she's sharing good things about you.
10. Do you have nightmares? Is it something like we see in a TV show?
Jokingly interpret her nightmares if you're looking to make her laugh.

Maybe you've been dating her for a while or you want to progress the relationship and get a little more personal while staying lighthearted.
These questions to ask your girlfriend will push her mind into overdrive and really get her thinking about the answers. They might even make her laugh. So, if you're wondering what questions to ask a girlfriend are out there, you can start with this.
Here are the 12 best questions to ask your girlfriend:
11. Do you have any secret untapped passions?
Help her get started on tapping into them. Maybe she wants to learn how to paint. Take her to one of those Paint and Wine places where you paint a pretty picture and get wine drunk.
12. Do you prefer group dinners or one-on-ones with friends?
Once you get this one answered, offer to host a dinner party with her pals or take them out to eat. You;ve got to have a relationship of some sort with her friends too.
13. What’s the most bizarre situation you’ve ever walked into?
Hopefully she's never walked in on her parents having sex, like what we frequently see in a TV show.

14. Which of the places you’ve traveled to inspired you the most, and why?
If she travels and appreciates those opportunities, she has the capacity to motivate you to be more worldly.
15. Are you religious?
Find out this one thing early and you'll avoid an awkward drive home.

16. What’s the last book you really loved?
Maybe the two of you have similar reading tastes. If neither of you are readers, audiobooks are a non-invasive way to experience a well-written story. I listen to them when I'm meal prepping for the week.
17. What would you consider your greatest accomplishment in life? What would you like to be the greatest accomplishment of your entire life?
What is she most proud of? One of the keys to a happy relationship is support. Help her out and encourage her to reach her goals for one of the healthiest relationships you'll ever have.
18. What do you have in your purse right now?
You never want to go through a woman's purse but you can still ask about what secrets it holds.

19. What is the one thing that makes you feel disgusted about people?
Maybe she bites her toenails but finds people who pick their noses disgusting. Life is unfair, right?
20. Where and when was the most amazing sunset/sunrise you’ve ever seen?
Was she one of the first people to see the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park? What are you going to do to make her new favorite a reality?
Side note: I've been to roughly 30 National Parks and monuments and Acadia is in the top 3. I highly recommend you visit.
21. Where is the worst place you’ve ever been stuck for a long time?
Airports are a nightmare when your flight gets delayed or canceled. What experience made her want to pull her hair out?
22. What is your guilty pleasure?
I once sang One Direction with a girl I was dating and ended up finding out I actually like One Direction. Another life mystery there.

12 Intimate Things Worth Asking With Your Her To Spice Up Your Romance
via: Pexels / cottonbro
Intimacy and romance are what woo a woman. She wants to feel loved, and wants to talk about love, the past and future, and her hopes and dreams. A man who can talk to her about these things is tough to come by but you're a commodity and you don't mind talking about that stuff, do you?
Intimate and romantic questions are seriously deep and can have unexpected consequences. They can certainly bring you two closer together but they may also make you realize that she’s not the one for you (or vice versa).
No worries though. They're perfect for figuring out if she's the right girl for you because honestly, you don't want to be with someone who isn't your cup of tea. Asking questions that are intimate/romantic will bring about necessary discussions and will help you both find your flavor of love.
Here are 12 romantic questions to ask your girlfriend:
43. Have you ever received a love letter?
Consider writing a love letter and mailing it to her. Sure it’s antiquated but she’ll tell all her friends about how amazing her boyfriend is.

44. How important is marriage to you? How important are children and family? Do you have a personal timeline set for such things?
Asking these might make or break your relationship. You both need to be on the same level when it comes to these or be able to find a compromise.
45. Do you have needs in your life that are not being met? What can I do to help with those needs?
We all have different needs, which can pretty much be anything. If she’s willing, help her with hers and if she loves you, she’ll do the same. Don't be too clingy about it though.
46. Would you remain with me if you discovered that I couldn't bear children? If I had a criminal record? If I had a lot of debt? If I had a terminal disease?
These are extremely important to ask in a long-term relationship.
47. Have I ever hurt you in any way that you haven't told me about?
People sometimes interpret things in ways we couldn't imagine. There's bound to be a time or two where you said something in the wrong way so talk it out, listen and offer a genuine apology and you should be good. Just don't let it happen again.

48. How would you define a good sexual relationship?
My definition: One with LOTS of communication and a mutual desire to please the other person. If you don't like getting each other off, you're going to run into trouble.

49. What about me would you change?
Don't take her answer personally. Remember, change is necessary for growth. If anything, just think that this can make you a better person.
50. What’s something don't know about me but you want to know?
She probably has something she's been dying to ask you but has been too nervous to actually do it. Open up and answer honestly.
51. If you’re sad, or upset, how would you like someone to take care of you? In general what makes you feel cared for?
Tucking her in at bedtime, bringing her a care package when she's sick, surprising her with flowers when she has a bad day, and kissing her on the forehead just because you love her are all great ways to show her you care.
52. What are some really romantic dates? And some sexy ones?
We have plenty of romantic ideas. Going to your local sex shop and searching for new toys is 100% worth it. Also, I hear the strip club can really get her in the mood for the rest of the evening (if she's into that).

53. What is a fancy restaurant you've been wanting to try? What about a home-cooked meal you like?
Save up and surprise her with a couple of plates you can't normally afford or stay in and treat her to a candlelit dinner. You can't go wrong either way unless you burn the food.
54. Do you believe in marriage? Or do you prefer committed relationships?
Sure tax incentives are nice, but divorce can be a nightmare. If legal marriage isn't for her, you can still have a fun ceremony without having to worry about dividing everything between the two of you if things don't work out.

Once the conversation starters and text questions have lost their luster, you should find some deep questions to ask your girlfriend; the kind that teleports her to a different time in her life or causes her to share her favorite kink.
Deep questions to ask can be uncomfortable to answer but that's why they're fun. They force us to open Pandora's box and unleash the things we've been keeping locked up for millennia, which isn't always a bad thing.
Everyone's different. Embrace it and have fun. So if deep questions to ask a girl interest you (and they should)... then:
Here are 10 personal and deep questions to ask your girlfriend:
61. Did you feel closer to your mom or dad growing up?
Our parents have their favorite child so we can have our favorite parent. This will let you know what kind of relationship she has with her parents, who are big parts of her life.
62. Have you ever left someone you still loved?
Occasionally we have to get out of a relationship because it's unhealthy for us. Be the best man you can be for her and she hopefully won't have to do this to you.
63. When’s the last time you felt seriously disappointed?
What bummed her out most recently? Has the moment passed or is there something you can do to help?

64. When’s the last time you failed spectacularly at something?
She didn't fall down the stairs. She performed an ancient dancing ritual to demonstrate how gravity works.
65. If you could switch careers without any concern for money, what would you do?
She doesn't have to switch immediately. She can always keep her day job and follow her passion part-time. In fact, that's a big reason I'm the author of this article.
66. What’s the first thing you’d do if you were the opposite sex for one day? Is there something in particular about the opposite sex you want to know?
Of course she's going to swing her penis around like a helicopter. You don't do that every morning?
67. In which of your past relationships were you the happiest? Is the ending something you’ve ever seen coming?
A lot of people say it's a bad idea to talk about exes. I disagree. The things you can learn from her past relationships can highlight red flags you may have missed or - in this case - show you what someone else did that made her happy.

68. Have you forgiven yourself for your wrongdoings?
We've all done things in life that we regret. We have to forgive ourselves if we're to move forward with our lives and be happy.
69. When did you lose your virginity? How did it happen?
Your first time is something special. There's nothing wrong with looking back at it fondly and there's nothing wrong with avoiding discussing it if it was less-than-ideal. If you feel that she's uncomfortable, ask about her first kiss instead. Sometimes, the first kiss is epic.
70. What do you fantasize about? Is there any particular fantasy that you'd like to make a reality? How would you feel about role-playing?
If you're having sex a lot, it can get repetitive and boring. Mixing things up in the bedroom and trying new acts will keep your sex life interesting and help you find your new favorite kinks.
