How Well Do You Know Me? 95 Questions To Ask Your Partner, Friends & Family
More than likely, there aren't many people who know your go-to coffee order, the name of your first pet, your biggest fear, and how you'd spend $1 million. You might not even know all of that information about yourself. But quizzing your loved ones about your life can be a fun way to pass the time (and find out how well they know you).
Many of these questions gauging how well another person knows the details of your life are fun and relatively frivolous. Other questions are deep and thought-provoking, aimed at starting sincere conversations. Honest communication allows relationships to flourish. After all, we all want to be understood.
You can pick and choose which questions make the most sense to ask your family, friends, and partner. And don't forget to flip the script when it's their turn to quiz you too.
