FAQ: questions to ask your girlfriend
How many questions should I ask in one night?
Five to ten is plenty. Quality and follow-up beats racing through a list.
What if she gives short answers?
Ask "what made you feel that way?" or share your answer first. Vulnerability invites vulnerability.
Are these only for new couples?
No — long-term partners often learn the most from questions they never thought to ask.
