Ask Your Crush These Flirty Questions, If You’re Feeling Bold

Crushes, crushes, crushes: Being attracted to someone can be one of the most amazing feelings, yet one of the most frustrating if you’re struggling to let them know how you feel. Or, even more frustrating, trying to figure out if they even like you back. It can all feel so intimidating, but with these flirty questions to ask your crush, you’ll be able to show your interest — and maybe even see if the spark is there for them, too.  

Flirting is… complicated: You want to be bold, but cringey. You want to say something that makes them smile and think about you later, but, sometimes,  all you’ve got is “how was your week?” But, showing someone that you’re interested in them means opening up real conversations and creating sparks of genuine intimacy, as well as paying attention to detail. And what better way to do that than to ask questions?

Whether you’re trying to move past the friend zone or set the mood before a date night, these 40 flirty questions are your new secret weapon. Think of them as your new, go-to conversation starter kit: You don’t have to ask them all (actually, don’t do that), but you can pick the ones that fit your personality and put ’em in your back pocket for when you’re feeling bold. You got this, bestie.
