18 Deep Questions to Ask Your Crush While Texting
These questions will give you a chance to learn a lot about your crush. If they do not want to answer a particular question, that is fine. It takes some of us a lot of time to feel comfortable with someone to share personal details about our lives. As such, feel free to let your crush know that when you ask these questions, there is no pressure to answer them.
1. What is the most important lesson you have ever learned?
Jump right in. This is a huge question and one that rarely has a simple answer. They might answer with a summary, but it has an interesting background. This is a great question to ask if you want to deepen the conversation and open the possibility of cultivating an emotional bond. The response to this question might be lengthy, so be ready for it.
2. Who is the closest person in your life?
Who do they share most of their time with? Who knows the most about them? They will probably talk about their family or childhood friends. If they have someone close to them, make sure to ask some more questions about that person, so they know you are interested.
3. Have you ever been heartbroken?
You might not want to bring up painful memories from the past, but hopefully, by now, they have moved on and are ready to talk about this. Have you ever been heartbroken? If yes, then you can sympathize with them. If not, ask them what it is like. Ask them about the most significant lesson or realization they gained after the heart-breaking experience they had.
4. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Knowing where your crush sees themselves in ten years might give you some insight into how much room they have for you in their life. Do you guys share similar goals? Could you be living similar lives in ten years? This question will give you a high-level view of a potential future relationship with your crush.
5. What makes you feel better when you are down?
It is always a nice question and a helpful reminder of what they need if they are not feeling great. If you two see each other more often, then asking this question will help you help them when they need it. Also, this is an opportunity to discover a person’s mood booster and the reason behind it.
6. If you could change something about yourself, what would it be?
With this question, you run the risk of bringing up some insecurities. Still, you do not have to get lost in those insecurities. Keep the conversation light and offer compliments if the person has a negative opinion of themselves. If you have been looking for an opportunity to compliment, this question is your way in.
7. How do you feel about your family?
This is one of the more profound questions—how someone feels about their family usually has a lot of backstories, so this question is a great way to begin a lengthy conversation. You can ask about it over text, but this one might be a good question to ask when you have a chance to talk in person.
8. How do you feel about religion?
This is a great question because it can tell you a lot about their values and beliefs. It also works neutrally—it does not ask, ‘are you religious?’ or ‘what is your religion?’ Instead, it gives the person a chance to explain their stance on religion in general. Respect is the key when it comes to this topic.
9. How do you feel about politics?
Similar to the question on religion, this one is not to start a debate or question someone’s belief. Instead, it opens up space to talk about politics if you both want to, but it does not pressure you to go any further on the topic. Politics can be a touchy subject, and a very divisive one, so be mindful of how you approach this part of the conversation. Again, respect is the key when it comes to this topic.
10. What is your biggest fear?
This can be a deep question but also a fun one to ask. Some people will freely admit that their biggest fear is being alone forever, while others go for a lighter answer and say ‘spiders!’ Either way, this question is insightful and will lead to more stories. That is what you want from a question— encouragement to talk more.
11. What is the most significant dream you have ever had?
Dreams can be highly personal, and anyone who likes to talk about their dreams will love this question. If they do not seem interested in the question, that is the end, but if they want to talk about dreams, take it as an opportunity to text for hours.
12. What is the weirdest dream you have ever had?
Weird dreams can tell a lot about a person. Not just the content of their strangest dream, but also how they feel about it. If you are inclined to analyze dreams, you can bond over dream-related questions and stories. The weirder and more fantastical, the better!
13. What do you look for in a relationship?
This one might not be the best question to start with, but if you have been texting for a while now, then it is worth asking. If this is someone you have a crush on, you will naturally be interested in their views on relationships. Getting to know what they are looking for will give you a better idea of whether or not you two are compatible.
14. Why did your last relationship end?
This is a highly personal question. So, again, it is probably best to keep this for a few weeks into your conversation. Do not ask this question right away because there may be nuances to the relationship’s end that you might not fully understand until you know this person a little bit better. It is never easy to tell how sensitive the person is about their previous relationships if you are just starting your conversation with that person, so ease into the question rather than jumping straight in.
15. Who is your best friend in this crazy world?
Asking about someone’s best friend is a surefire way to open up a bigger conversation. They are sure to have some funny, crazy, or heartwarming stories about why that person is their best friend. This is also a great way to help the other person relax and take the focus off them for a minute.
16. Are you looking for a serious relationship or something casual?
This might be a question you want to ask. This can feel awkward to ask, but asking this question will determine the direction of the potential relationship you might establish with your crush. So, if you want to know if there is potential for something serious, but they are adamant and only want something casual, you learn to stop looking for a serious relationship with that person.
17. What is your favorite childhood memory?
This is one of the most exciting questions on the list, and its answer is bound to be a long and exciting story. When people talk about their favorite childhood memories, they typically get a warm feeling of nostalgia, and sharing that with you is sure to bring the two of you closer.
18. What was the most significant thing you learned from a past relationship?
This question will give you a lot of insight into the other person. We all go through relationships, and if we are mindful enough, we learn something valuable that we can then apply to our future relationships. Ask this person something interesting they learned from a past relationship, but remember to share your lessons too. Otherwise, the imbalance will feel unfair.
