Looking back at friendships, it’s hard to pinpoint a specific time that you went from being acquaintances to two completely compatible beings. Getting to know someone’s background, likes and dislikes can be very overwhelming and stressful. Instead of resorting to the same typical questions we ask when we want to get to know someone, wouldn’t you rather ask new, unique questions that’ll really help you get to them better? You’ll be amazed how much personality is able to shine through in people’s answers if you give them more to work with.
