I love asking questions! When I'm trying to get to know someone, I make an effort to be intentional in our conversations. I love getting to know someone and finding things we both relate to!! It gets hard when the conversation becomes one sided because I feel like I'm putting in effort that is not reciprocated... I love when people ask Me questions!! As long as the questions are not overstepping boundaries, I think it's important to put an effort into the relationships you're trying to cultivate :) 🛣️

i try really hard to ask interesting questions — mainly because I hate small talk but also because a great question opens many doors and rabbit holes. a great question can catch people off guard, make them think and helps you learn so much about who they are and what they value. so when people say this to me, I won’t lie it feels great

asking questions encourages connection between people (even if it’s short)!! like asking a barista what they like to drink, or asking the marine educator by the tide pools about the fish in there, or asking someone in a wait line what they do for work. obviously respect people’s time and space, but going out of my way to ask questions has lead to positive outcomes!
Not only do you connect with people, but you might learn something or meet someone cool :)

seems like a valuable conversational technique, especially with someone you don't know well or whose depths you are trying to mine: get them to ask themself the question and then to answer it
This may also be a great stalled conversation technique! "Hey, what's a question you'd love for someone to ask you?"
(Also I had fun replying to this non-ask Ask)

Relationships seem to be a big theme on this social media platform ! And I’ve seen a lot of great advice for dating!! On Sunday I met this hella cute girl through my friend’s friend and I was so nervyyyy I didn’t ask for her number or talk one on one much… I talked with my friend’s friend and we exchanged instas (big fan of getting people instagrams then never seeing eachother ever again but follow forever) and i happened to find cute girls insta… i am going to message her today and shoot my shot 🫣 #nerveracking I’ve only been in one relationship — started at 16, lasted for 5yrs, ended a year ago — so I’ve been single for a year and first time making a move with anyone let along pretty girl !
