We get it—texting someone you’re crushing on can be nerve-wracking, which is why it helps to have some backup questions ready—especially if you’re trying to move beyond the typical “What’s your favourite colour?” There’s an art to sparking a romantic interest with questions that are fun, flirty, and insightful, helping you gauge compatibility without turning the conversation into an interview. The key is to deepen your connection while keeping things light and natural. Of course, there’s no strict formula for what to ask, and texting someone you like can be intimidating enough without overthinking it. Below, you’ll find some of the best questions to ask your crush—whether you’re hanging out in person or chatting over text. From deep and interesting to playful and fun, these questions will help keep the conversation flowing when you're feeling a little tongue-tied.
