Good Questions To Ask A Girl Over Text (That Aren't Boring)
Most guys ask questions that sound like a job interview. The better move is asking things that reveal personality, humor, or a story, not just facts. These questions work in the talking stage and beyond because they invite a real answer instead of a one-word one. Here are 10 to keep in your back pocket.

The lines (and why they work)
“what's a hill you'll die on that most people think is ridiculous”
Why it works: Forces an opinionated answer and usually gets a fun rant.
“who's the one friend that gets you into the most trouble”
Why it works: Invites a story instead of a fact, and stories keep conversations going.
“what's something you were really into as a kid that you'd never admit to now”
Why it works: Nostalgic and a little embarrassing, which makes it more fun to answer honestly.
“if you could instantly become an expert at one random skill what would it be”
Why it works: Playful and reveals what she actually values or wishes she could do.
“what's your go-to order when you have zero idea what to get”
Why it works: Small and specific, easy conversation starter that can lead to planning a date.
“what's the most 'you' thing you own”
Why it works: Vague enough to make her think, specific enough to get a real answer.
“what's a movie you pretend to like because everyone else does”
Why it works: Slightly controversial, gets people talking honestly and defensively, both good for banter.
“what's something you're weirdly competitive about”
Why it works: Fun and reveals a playful side, sets up teasing later.
“what's the worst advice you've ever taken”
Why it works: Story-based question, usually funny, low pressure to answer.
“what's a small thing that instantly puts you in a good mood”
Why it works: Sweet and specific, useful info for future dates and gestures.

What questions should I avoid asking early on?
Skip anything that sounds like a form, 'what do you do for work' or 'where are you from' as opening moves. They're fine eventually but as first questions they read as generic and forgettable.
How many questions should I ask in one text?
One. Stacking two or three questions in a single message feels like a survey and she'll usually only answer the last one. Ask one, let her answer, then follow up on what she said.
Should questions be funny or deep?
Mostly funny with an occasional deep one mixed in. All jokes can feel shallow after a while, all deep questions feel heavy for texting. A 70/30 split toward playful works well early on.
What if she answers with one word every time?
The question isn't the problem at that point, her interest level might be. Try one more genuinely fun question, and if it's still flat, stop initiating for a bit and see if she picks it up.
