20 Intimate Romantic Questions to Ask Your Girlfriend
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 20 romantic questions to ask your girlfriend:
76. 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.

77. 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.
78. What’s your favorite thing about me?
She has her reasons for liking you. There’s nothing wrong with asking her what her favorite parts are.
79. 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.
80. 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.
81. 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.

82. What could I do that would make you believe that I love you?
Listen to her answer and never forget to give her genuine compliments. Forehead and neck kisses work great too.
83. Do you feel as though you could tell me anything?
Share a thing you’ve never told anyone.
84. Do you still have feelings for someone from your past?
You never forget your first love so don't be too angry if she says yes. Talk it out.
85. Why were you initially attracted to me?
Maybe she thought you were a big doofus at first but slowly grew to like you as time went on.
86. 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.

87. 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.
88. How would you define love?
To love is to live. Here's a resource in case you're having trouble defining it yourself.
89. 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.
90. 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.
91. 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).

92. When did you know you were falling for me?
Her answer will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
93. 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.
94. If you wanted to look very sexy, how would you dress?
Ask her to have a fashion show. And then when you take her on that surprise fancy dinner, tell her to wear that dress you like.
95. 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.
