Questions about the future
Looking for a long term relationship? These questions will help you get a rough idea of what direction your lives might be like if you continue dating.
1. Take a minute, close your eyes, and imagine what your perfect life would look like. Describe it in as much detail as possible.
This question and the one following it are great for finding out what she wants out of life and the life she would live if everything went perfectly. You can compare your girlfriendâs answer with your own goals for life and see if they match. So, if your perfect life is traveling around the world with nothing but a backpack and no cares, but her perfect life is building a business from the ground up, well, you two have some talking to do.
2. What would an average day in your perfect life look like? Do you have just one ideal life, or can you think of more than one?
Also, even though they tell you a lot, they are still great lighthearted questions that you can bring up whenever.
3. What do you think the role of a woman in a relationship should be? How about the role of a man?
This one is very important to ask so that you can go into the relationship on the same page as far as roles go. If you both have wildly different ideas about both of your roles, youâll need to get that settled before you get too far into the relationship.
4. Should roles change when a couple gets married or moves in together?
These two questions to ask your girlfriend are great for seeing how both of your roles in the relationship might change in the future, or at least how she is expecting them to change.
Youâll want to check your expectations against hers and see how they match up. If you are looking for a more traditional relationship situation and she is more progressive, I guarantee youâll both be on the road for some serious fights.
Questions about the past
The past has a lot of useful information for the present and the future. These questions will help you learn more about your girlfriendâs past relationships so you can learn more about your current relationship. Remember to pick the right time and the right place for serious talks about the past.
5. What was your most serious relationship? How long did it last? Why did it end? What did you like/dislike about him?
Okay, okay, donât get jealous when she is talking about ex-boyfriends, youâve got exâs too. You donât have to compare her exâs to yourself. This is great info on what she likes in a relationship and what she doesnât. Plus, it will tell you more about how she views serious relationships.
6. Have you ever cheated on someone before? What happened?
This one is a land mine, so be careful. That being said, itâs a great bit of information to know. I may be wrong on this one, but I think there is a reason people say once a cheater always a cheater. Has she cheated on more than one boyfriend? Well, there is a good chance sheâll cheat on you. The same goes for you. I donât think the rule applies only to women.
7. How much time did you usually spend with ex-boyfriends? Did you think it was too much time or not enough time? What did you typically do with your ex-boyfriends?
Okay, one more time. Seriously. No getting jealous over ex-boyfriends. Donât be that guy.
These questions basically let you know how much distance you should be giving her. Some guys like their girlfriend to be around all the time, and some donât. Same with girls. Some girls like spending as much time with their boyfriend as they can, and some prefer having some distance. Itâs just a personal preference.
Just like most of the questions, if your answers match up, thatâs great. If not, well, itâs something to keep in mind. Donât smother her and donât give her the cold shoulder.
Questions about her
These questions are all about what she likes. You can keep these in mind to make her happy, or you can see how they compare with your likes and interests.
8. What are the three most annoying things a boyfriend can do? How about the three best things?
Things that annoy her = donât do those things. Things she likes = try to do those things.
9. What was the most adventurous/crazy thing you have done in the past month? What is the most adventurous/crazy thing you have ever done?
This one will tell you how risk seeking or risk averse she is. If she is a lot more risk-seeking than you, you might have to expand your comfort zone. If you are more risk-seeking than her, be prepared for the fact she might not want to go with you on adventures. And she might not want you to do risky things either.
10. Do you prefer being outdoors or indoors?
Is she the indoor type, and youâre not? Donât expect her to enjoy being dragged out on camping trips. She the outdoor type and youâre not? Better get some hiking boots. If you are both really different, maybe try compromising and making cabin trips.
11. What three objects that you own do you value most?
This one youâll have to read a bit into. Is it something sentimental? She probably has a strong sentimental streak. Something practical? She probably isnât very sentimental. Is it something expensive or something she can show off? Get ready to say goodbye to your money.
This one is also great because itâll help you get some gift ideas for later. Or at least gift categories. Sentimental, get her something that reminds her of your relationship. Practical, give her something that will help with her hobbies. And so onâŠ

12. What would you do if a close friend started saying mean things about you?
This question lets you know how she deals with conflict. Is she a peacemaker? Does she escalate things? Does she just avoid it?
Chances are sheâll deal with conflicts the same way with you. Maybe sheâll try to make peace, maybe sheâll get furious, maybe sheâll just stop talking to you.
13. What are your three favorite movies and three favorite TV shows? How about your three least favorite movies / TV shows?
This is a surprisingly practical question that will let you know how much you two will enjoy going to see movies together and watching shows together.
Does she watch shows/movies with you that are way out of line with her favorites? She might just be humoring you and watching them because you like them. If thatâs the case, sheâs probably going to get tired of humoring you and start wanting to watch what she actually likes.
14. What is your idea of a perfect Saturday night?
This one will let you know what she likes to do. Sure sheâll probably do what you want to do for a few Saturday nights. Still, eventually, as the relationship continues, she is going to want to do what she wants to do. So if you like partying and she doesnât, or if you like chilling and playing video games and she likes going out. Well, thatâs going to be a problem.

Questions about sex
If you are in a place in your relationship where you are comfortable talking about sex, then these are some great questions to learn more about who she is sexually. If your relationship hasnât progressed that far, donât worry about it, just skip these.
15. How many sexual partners have you had? Have you ever had unprotected sex?
Yep, these are some pretty basic questions to ask your girlfriend, but they are pretty crucial to know. Sheâll want to know the same. Tit for tat.
And remember, donât get all pouty about her answers if she has had a lot of sexual partners or if she has had more than you. Itâs not a competition. And besides, you probably want a girlfriend that enjoys sex as much as you do.
On the flip side, if she hasnât had a lot of sexual partners, it might mean she isnât so into sex, or it might mean she isnât as experienced in the bedroom, or it might mean she doesnât like to have sex until the relationship is a bit more serious.
Basically, you want her sex drive to match yours, whether you are really into having frequent sex or if sex isnât very important to you.
16. What two things would you like more of while having sex? Is there anything youâd like to try in the bedroom that youâve been afraid to ask for?
Good sex life is important for a healthy relationship. You should both be trying to make each other happy in the bedroom. But donât feel pressured to try something you arenât comfortable with. And donât pressure her into trying something she isnât comfortable with. If either of you isnât enjoying the sex youâre having, it will end badly for both of you.
17. How often do you like having sex?
This question will help you see how well both of your expectations about the frequency of sex match up. Usually, if one person in a relationship has a vastly different number, itâs a bad omen for the relationship. But you can try talking through it and trying to find some middle ground. Just donât try and force the issue. Youâll just have to decide how important sex is for the relationship.
18. What time of day is the best for sex?
This one will give you a good idea of what time of the day she will most likely be in the mood. Good intel for sure.
Questions about money
Money. The number one starter of fights in a relationship. These might not be the most exciting questions to ask your girlfriend, but they are enormously important.
19. How good are you with budgeting money?

So there we go, those are my questions to ask your girlfriend. Hopefully, theyâll help you out and give you some useful info about your relationship. Just remember, as I said before. None of these questions is a relationship sinker, just keep in mind what is most vital for you in a relationship.

Watch how she treats waiters and waitresses.
If she is mean to them, she probably has a mean streak that will come out to bite you in the ass. The best way to judge a personâs kindness is how they act towards people they donât need to be nice too. Plus, who wants spit in their food?
âI hate drama, but drama always finds me.â
Nope, she loves drama. And she probably goes out of her way to create or encourage it. Be prepared to always have some kind of drama emergency going on.
She hates your hobbies.
She wonât start liking them. Youâll either need to end it or stop doing the things you like. Find a girl who likes the same things you do. Or at the very least find a girl who tolerates your hobbies because she knows they are important to you.
