I am going out with this guy that is really sweet but I don't know much about him. He asked me for my number last weekend and we've gone out TWICE now and I don't really know a lot about the guy. My mom said we should not go to movies yet but, rather, out to eat so that we can talk more. I thought that sounded fine but I have no idea what I should ask him without sounding stupid!
What are good questions to ask my boyfriend and how do I ask them? Should I just say, "I have some things to ask you..." and go through them one by one? I don't want to look like idiot but I want to get to know him better! :)
THANKSSS

Pick a "guy" kind of movie so he will really be interested.
While you are at the movie watch his body language...if he leans into you, you do the same. Don't tuck your hand in your sides like you are nervous...(cause he won't go fising to hold your hand) just be confident and secure in the silence because it is a place not to talk. See if you feel comfortable just sitting in his presence....if he looks over at you and smiles...etc.
Then go out to eat...simply enough you can talk about the movie. With that you can find things you both have in common...if you are a good pair the conversation will just flow... [ forbidden1's advice column | Ask forbidden1 A Question ]
hotpotato answered Sunday February 21 2010, 12:23 pm: You can just say you want to get to know him better and say something like, "Let's play a game!"
You can try to make it into a game =) like ask trivia q's or w/e. To make it easier, go back and forth with questions so it's not like an interview of one person at a time. And whatever questions one person asks, the same person also has to answer their own question!
And quiz each other or something for fun and have a prize for whoever gets the most right.. haha
You can also ask fun questions like, "Would you rather.." or "What if.."
If you don't want to do questions, just either start talking about yourself and he will talk about himself in return, or maybe you can go somewhere after a movie and talk about the movie first, then transition into your interests. For example, you could be like, "I love action movies.. blah blah. What are your favorites?" [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]

If you don't already know the answers, things like does he have any brothers/sisters / what's his parents names / any pets / favourite hobbies / favourite music/bands / favourite foods/drinks..
I always find a fun way to do it is by asking weird and wonderful questions as well, just to lighten the mood and give a few laughs, such as (if you go out to eat) "would you eat this with *insert something bad here/something you know he doesn't like* for *insert amount of money here*
Haha
Seriously though, don't worry about it - getting to know one another is fun and the best thing about the beginnings of a relationship. Have fun and enjoy it! [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
Xpotshotx answered Sunday February 21 2010, 4:42 am: Dont just out and begin reading off a list of questions. Just start up an easy-going conversation and learn about him while telling him about yourself. If you have been out together twice and has not hurt you then it's safe to say you can give him the benefit of the doubt and that he is not a serial murderer.
