75 Best Questions to Ask Friends: Fun, Deep and Personal

relationships

Think you know everything about them? These fun Qs will show you otherwise.

By Sarah Fielding

One of the joys of friendship is that you continually learn more about each other. A good friendship involves growth, and part of that comes from actively choosing to stay curious about your friend. 

With that in mind, it’s important to know what questions to ask your friends to deepen your bond. For Saba Harouni Lurie, ATR-BC, a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Take Root Therapy, it’s all about being intentional with your Qs. “When we ask these questions, we prompt our friends to share about themselves and to be vulnerable. When we show vulnerability and offer care when another is vulnerable, we cultivate trust and strengthen our relationships,” she tells TODAY. com.

Antonia Hall, MA, a psychologist, relationship expert and author of "The Happy Human Playbook: A Practical Guide to Healing Body, Mind and Emotions With Joy and Pleasure," opts for questions that show another — perhaps a new — side of your friend. Some thought-starters: Ask what they’re grateful for or what life growing up was like for them. 

The key here is not to interrogate your friend, but to open up a space to appreciate one another for who you are and want to be.

“There is no such thing as knowing everything about a person, so ongoing connection building between friends helps to nurture and grow the relationship, especially through natural and unnatural life transitions," Leanne Leonard, a licensed marriage and family therapist at Mindpath Health, tells TODAY.com.

While you may be inclined to get to know your friend at the present moment, find ways to look ahead to the future. In fact, Dr. Cynthia Shaw, a licensed clinical psychologist and owner of Authentically Living Psychological Services, suggests asking questions that hone in on your friend’s hopes and dreams.

We asked the aforementioned experts to share their best questions to ask friends, and compiled a list of our favorites below. Dedicate an entire night to this list, start with a few funny standouts or slowly chip away at the deeper questions when there's a lull in conversation. As a result, you'll see each other in a whole new light.

What Are Deep Questions and Why Do They Matter?

Communication may just be the backbone of healthy relationships. But communication is more than just a tool we use to explore ourselves. It can also be used to build closer bonds with others. One way we can do this is by asking deep questions—questions that lead others to self-disclose to us. This is how we get to know who the other person is for real.

In perhaps one of the best-known studies on relationships, Art Aron showed that when two people asked each other increasingly deep questions over a 45-minute period, they felt closer than two people who had just engaged in chit-chat (Aron et al., 1997). Further research suggests that when others self-disclose personal information, we like them more (Sprecher, Treger, & Wondra, 2013). This may partially explain why deep questions increase closeness.

Deep Questions to Ask Someone

To start increasing closeness (or just get to know someone), here are the questions you can ask anyone from Dr. Aron's study (Aron et al., 1997). They increase in intensity from the beginning to the end.

  1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
  2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?
  3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?

  8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.
  9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
  10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

  11. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?
  12. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?

Set III

  1. Make three true “we” statements each. For instance, “We are both in this room feeling…” 
  2. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share…”
  3. If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for them to know.

  5. Share with your partner an embarrassing moment in your life.
  6. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?
  7. Tell your partner something that you like about them [already].
  8. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?
  9. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?
  10. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?
  11. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most disturbing? Why?
  12. Share a personal problem and ask your partner’s advice on how they might handle it. Also, ask your partner to reflect back to you how you seem to be feeling about the problem you have chosen.

Closing Thoughts on Questions for Friends

The time we spend with friends should be enriched with conversation and fun in a question and answer format. This helps not only to have fun, but also allows each person to tell a little more about themselves than others know.

An evening spent with questions and answers can strengthen our relationships with friends for years to come. People love to talk about themselves. Research shows that talking about yourself activates the same parts of the brain that food, drugs, and sex do! nine0013
