Alright, don't be weird about this... because having weird questions to ask someone could be the difference between a good conversation and a bad one.
Did you know that some people put their milk in the bowl before their cereal? That sometimes people wear socks with sandals? There are people out there who fill their bathtub up halfway, block the drain, then turn on the shower and pretend they're in a sinking submarine.
We're all weird in our own ways. Those weird things we do are what make us who we are. And if you want people to like you, you have to embrace your weirdness and simply be yourself no matter who's watching.
When you try to be someone else, people (especially women) see directly through your fake personality and recognize you're not being genuine. How can they trust you if you're pretending to be someone you're not? Nobody likes fake people.
So when you're in a conversation and you run out of questions to ask, embrace your weird side and get creative with weird questions to ask.

How to Ask Weird Questions
via: Bidstockphotos / pressmaster
Asking weird questions shows that you're creative and don't mind being silly. That you can be yourself and be confident about it. People will respond and they'll like you more. However, you still need to know how to successfully spark conversations.
Here is how to ask weird questions:
1. Let go of your pride

When you think you're too cool to be silly, you're boring and if you want an interesting conversation, you can't be boring.
2. Preface the questions (or don't)

Some people aren't comfortable with their weirdness. If they seem a little uptight, ask if they want to trade weird questions and see who can ask the weirdest one. If the person you're already talking to seems a little out there, ask away to get on his/her level.
3. Pay Attention

Being too weird throws people off. Be attentive to how your questions are received and tone it down to ensure the conversation doesn't go awry.
4. Know the Difference Between Weird and Random

One important note:
Being random is NOT the same as being weird. Being random is what you do with your best friend. You know each other extremely well and understand each others' humor so it's understood that you're going to be ridiculous together with your inside jokes and silly antics. Being random with a stranger or a person you want to like you is annoying. If you want to make friends, randomness is your enemy.
For example, simply asking "Container?" is random and allows for no reasonable answer. On the other hand, asking a person, "What's your favorite container?" is random, yes, but it also offers them to think about a special keepsake box, a piggy bank from their childhood, or some other . This is what I mean when I talk about being random. As long as you offer a chance for a reasonable response, you can engage in a meaningful conversation.
