When you're first getting to know a girl, one of your biggest weapons is questions.
Questions not only give you deeper insights into the girl you're dating, but they also help her to open up, and they can make her interested in you.
After all, girls want to be asked interesting questions that excite them and start conversations and help them explore each other.
But we get it: Some questions are more interesting than others. While some can help you learn more about the girl you're dating so that you understand whether or not she's the right one for you, others tell you very little – and they can also make her feel awkward, uncomfortable, or even bored.
