25 Easy Conversation Starters for Singles

When talking to a new girl, my favorite game was the Question Game.

It was a great way to get to know her quickly over text or in person. The game was simple, we would merely take turns asking each other questions. Any question was fair game, from funny to more serious.

Thanks to this game, this meant there was never a lull in the conversation.

The only rule was that “What about you?” didn't count as an actual question. (This means both people have to come up with unique questions.)

But, sometimes, coming up with a unique question is hard, so here are 25 different questions you can ask a potential match that will help you get a conversation started and also allow you both to get to know each other a little bit better!

Personal

1. What is something you are looking forward to?
2. If you wrote a book about yourself what would be the title?
3. What is your strangest phobia?
4. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
5. If you could relive one day of your life, what would it be?

Romantic

1. What is a dream date you’ve never been on?
2. What do you love most about yourself?
3. What was your first crush like?
4. What cheesy romance cliché do you love?
5. What is one thing that will always cheer you up?

Spiritual

1. What do you hope God’s plan is for your life?
2. Do you remember your First Communion? What was it like?
3. Who is a Catholic you really look up to?
4. What was your favorite prayer when you were young/a new convert? What is it now?
5. What does God’s voice sound like to you?

Casual

1. What is a song that gets stuck in your head?
2. What is your favorite meme?
3. If you had to live the origin story of any superhero, who would it be?
4. Who is your favorite movie villain?
5. If you could have something in your pocket (that you would never lose) what would you choose?

Funny

1. How many people do you think would slap you in the face if they could?
2. What’s something you could eat 1,000 of?
3. Which president would win in a free-for-all President fight?
4. What is something you pretend to hate but actually love?
5. What animal would you ride into battle?

Remember, dating is supposed to be fun!

And, having some light-hearted questions ready for when you chat can not only ease some of the awkwardness but also shed some light on whether or not the two of you are actually a good match for each other.
