Are you in a committed relationship with a guy that feels like it might be #endgame for you? You like each other a lot, so far, he’s been saying and doing all the right things, and you can see a real future with this man. But you want to know more… about his past, quirks, values, fears, and dreams—and you’re right to want to learn more. You need to see if you align with the big things, what makes this guy tick, and be aware of potential relationship pitfalls. So, if you want to get to know your boyfriend better, you need to know the right questions to ask to get to know him on a deeper level.
Men have a terrible reputation for being closed books and unwilling to express their emotions. If you’re dating a man who doesn’t often open up to you and gives you plenty of one-word answers, these questions should help you open him up a little and steer the conversation in the right direction. It’s important to remember that every man is different, and every relationship is different. Some of these questions will be a goldmine, and others may fall flat—so don’t give up if they do.
You might want to set aside a few hours and have a “get to know you better” marathon where you take turns to ask each other some of the questions on this list. Alternatively, you could slip one or two questions into your everyday conversations and keep things a little more low-key. The choice is yours.
