201 Deep Questions to Ask that Uncover Hidden Thoughts

In our quest to learn more about each other, our list of deep questions to ask is such a fun way to uncover their secret thoughts, feelings and desires.

What are some deep questions to ask?

 

 

We have questions to help you get started. Below you will find questions that you can use or change to fit your relationship better. 

 

Most questions to ask could be mixed and matched, so read through them all to find ones on the topics that you would like to learn more about.

What is a good deep question?

 

A good deep question is anything that allows you to dive into subjects that would normally take a long time to learn about someone.

 

Instead of finding that perfect moment to discuss serious topics, asking deep questions turns it into a game of sorts.

 

You can learn about their future plans, the insight that they have into their own personality and how their past has shaped who they are today. These are all topics that take a while to learn about a person and asking questions allows you to speed up the process. 

 

Finding out what is truly important to a person is so important to knowing whether could be a good match or if your relationship needs to focus on certain areas.
