Questions to ask your boyfriend: 40 fun, cute and deep questions

Forty questions to ask your boyfriend, in three rounds: fun ones to warm up, questions about the two of you, and the deep ones you have been meaning to ask. Every question works both ways, so answer each one yourself too.

40 questions

How to use these questions with your boyfriend

Pick one round, not the whole list. Read a question out loud, let him answer, then answer it yourself: the questions are written for two, and the second answer is where the conversation actually starts. Skip anything that does not fit tonight. If he gives a one-word answer, ask “why?” once and wait; that is usually enough.

When you have run out of questions

These forty come from the free set in the coupleroom app, which has 2,500+ more sorted into 100+ topics and a Question of the Day that lands on both your phones. If he is the type who answers better in writing, Remote Mode lets you send him a question and see both answers once you have both replied. For a sillier evening, try the would-you-rather dilemmas or the couples quiz.

What are good questions to ask your boyfriend to get to know him?

Start with how he thinks rather than what he did: which time of day he loves, what he would do with a week off, which decision he would make differently. The fun round above is built from exactly those. Save family and values for when you have been talking a while.

What deep questions can I ask my boyfriend?

The deep round covers what love meant to him before you, what his childhood taught him, which boundaries matter to him and what he had to unlearn. Ask one, answer it yourself, and do not rush to the next.

Can I use these questions over text?

Yes, and some of them work better that way, because he has time to think. Send one a day rather than a list. In coupleroom, Remote Mode does exactly this: you send a question, both of you answer, and the answers open together.
