What to talk about with your crush
Tired of being ghosted?
Let us take care of it! Next Line will craft engaging responses for you in a second!
#1: Your most bizarre pet peeve
Here's where you find out whether they load toilet paper from the front or from the back! Sharing a ridiculous fact or exploring pet peeves is a great way to get to know someone, without relying on a personal question.
#2: Your favorite movie
A classic question for a reason, questions like this help get the ball rolling in a conversation. It can also easily lead to planning a movie date where you take turns sharing your favorite movies.
#3: Your perfect date night
A perfect topic for the early stages of a relationship, make a mental note of their answer to help you figure out date ideas. Once you know someone's favorite restaurant you'll be on your way to planning a great first date.
#4: How you would spend your three wishes
Is someone selfish or altruistic? Topics like this lead people to share the inner workings of their minds in a way that a direct question might never reveal. And the follow-up questions to this topic will lead to endless things to talk about.
#5: What superpower you would choose
Surely you've heard by now; flight is a good answer, and invisibility is a bad one. But what other superpowers can you think of? The answer to this question can offer great insight.
#6: Your worst fear
If the worst thing you can imagine is running into a shark, Jaws style, this might be a good topic. If your worst fear is something heavier, then you might want to save this one for later in the relationship.
#6: Your dream job
Sure, most of us dream of retirement, not work. But finding out about someone's dream job is a great way to figure out if you're on the same page about likes and dislikes in life. And that will be important if you're hoping to build a healthy relationship.
#7: Your dream destination
Do you want to sit on a beach, sipping cocktails, or explore the cultural center of an ancient city? Your dream vacation says a lot about you, and how you want to spend your free time.
#8: Your favorite song
The days of mix tapes might be long gone, but you can still share your favourite song with a YouTube link or Spotify playlist. Finding out someone's musical taste (or even whether they play musical instruments themselves) will help you get to know your crush.
#9: Favorite (or least favorite) fictional characters
Whether it's from a favorite tv show, movie, or book, everyone has a fictional world they feel strongly about.
#10: Their favorite pizza order
It's best to find out early whether they're into pineapple on pizza — because we all know this is a major relationship dealbreaker. If you're not getting dates on Tinder, its probably because you like pineapple on your pizza.
#11: Cat person or dog person?
Another potential dealbreaker, whether because of preferences or allergies, it's helpful to figure out what kind of pets someone is into. And hey, this is where you find out if they opt for another interesting species, like pet rats or a bearded dragon.
#12: The immature thing that always makes them laugh
Want to make your crush laugh? Figure out how their funny bone works. This can also be a chance to snuggle up and share TikTok favorites as a mellow date idea.
#13: Their biggest turn off
Want to make sure you don't blow it? Gather information (like the pet peeves topic above) to make sure you make a good first impression.
#14: The most romantic thing they can think of
If the most important thing to your crush is romance, then this is information you'll want to have. Whether you're trying to build fond memories, or just have a successful first date, these are the conversation starters that provide added value.
#15: Their absolute worst date ever
This is one of the most fun topics you can bring up. While you want to make sure not to go too negative (no one likes ex-bashing) if you've got stories about nightmare guests to your home, or the date you wish you hadn't given your address, you've probably got a crowd-pleasing story.
