These are all of our questions to ask if you want to get to know someone better, and now that you know the person better than their mother, feel free to let them ask you these questions as well! Remember that we will never know everything about a person, yet never hold back on asking what comes to mind. The best way to know someone is to ask what you don’t know and respond with honesty, so go on!
