Questions to ask a new friend

Asking questions is a great way to show that you are interested in someone.  Ensuring that you ask both open ended and close ended questions is important.

The open ended questions are good for finding a new topic of conversation or continuing your interaction comfortably.

Beyond just asking general information about them, here are some examples of open ended questions that you might note for a future conversations. 

As your partner is answering, make note of anything you could elaborate on or use as a future topic.

• What’s your music taste like?

• What kinds of flavors do you like?

• What is your best school story?

• How do you manage your stress?

• What is one of your favorite memories?
