Tips for Approaching Your Crush With Questions
Make sure you remain an active listener.
If you're going to ask the hard-hitting questions, the least you can do is pay attention when someone starts serving up answers. Doing so demonstrates a genuine interest in what your crush has to say. It also helps you gather more material for follow-up questions, and studies have shown that people like people who continue with questions more than those who don't. So, let them talk and listen carefully.
Only ask questions you want to know the answers to.
As the old adage goes, "Don't ask questions if you don't want to know the answer." If the two of you actually end up together, you'll surely end up learning a lot about them. But for now, there's no harm in keeping it light. Spare yourself some drama, and only ask about subjects you're comfortable hearing about—at least for now.
Allow them to ask you questions back.
Don't turn the exchange into an interrogation. Allowing your crush to ask you questions in return will probably make them feel more comfortable. And that will likely result in them feeling close enough to you to reveal more than they otherwise would.
