Questions to Ask Your Boyfriend: 157 Intimacy Building Questions

How well do you actually know your boyfriend? This list of questions to ask your boyfriend will see to it that you learn everything there is to know about the love of your life.

Questions to Ask Your Boyfriend

Having a boyfriend is, hands down, one of the best feelings in the world. But how well do you actually know him? And we don’t simply mean knowing his favorite sport or his dream car, but also knowing him as a person: your partner’s values, favorite memory, biggest regret, and greatest dream. 

Sometimes, having an enjoyable Q&A session with your partner is what it takes. And here are a bunch of questions to ask your boyfriend!

What Are Good Questions to Ask Your Boyfriend When Bored?

Connecting with your boyfriend on a deeper level will build mutual understanding and bring your relationship to a new level of intimacy.

“Communication is the fuel that keeps the fire of your relationship burning. Without it, your relationship goes cold.” -William Paisley.

But where do you start? Ask your boyfriend some questions! 

And here’s a quick tip: swap out the meaningless small talk and the old “how was your day?” line with creative questions that sparks fun and meaningful chats.

10 Good Questions to Ask Your New Boyfriend

At the beginning of every relationship, it’s important to make an effort to get to know your partner. Most of the time, it’s as easy as asking your boyfriend a few specific questions to give you a good idea of who he is and spark even deeper conversations

Fun Questions to Ask Your Boyfriend

Here are a few intimacy-building questions to ask in a new relationship.

1. What makes you feel the most loved?

Gifts? Touch? Quality time?

It’s super important in a relationship, especially one that’s still new, to know each other’s love language. Asking your boyfriend about his preferred way to give and receive love will help your relationship move forward as healthily as possible. 


2. If you could plan a perfect day, what would it look like?

This one is a perfect conversation starter, and you’ll have plenty of ideas about things he likes after your talk. You can also find some exciting stuff to do together if you share a passion for certain activities. 


3. What is your guiltiest pleasure?

Does he have a sweet tooth? Does he sing in the shower? Is he super obsessed with his beard?

Asking him about his guilty pleasure can lead to funny, sometimes embarrassing, conversations.  


4. What is the manliest thing you’ve ever done? The least manly?

What is his concept of manliness? His answer to this question will show you that. And it’s also a fun query that can lead to some interesting answers and stories. 


5. What’s the best mistake you’ve ever made?

His answer won’t probably tell you much, except that you’re most likely going to hear some interesting stories. And good stories are always welcome because who doesn’t love them?


6. What are your expectations for our relationship?

Are you on the same page? Is he comfortable just seeing where things go, or does he hope to be married in the fifth year? Establishing expectations early in the relationship is wise. And since this question doesn’t usually come out of the blue, how about asking this one to your new boyfriend directly instead?


7. What is something that most people underestimate or overestimate about you?

This question will give you an idea of how your boyfriend thinks about how other people view him and how he views himself. If your guy answers humbly, that’s a pretty good sign. But if he sounds delusional, that is usually not a very good sign. 


8. What’s something that you should probably do but will never do?

He probably hasn’t been asked this one. So, let him think a bit about it. But whatever the answer he comes up with, it’s most likely going to be a pretty enlightening and interesting one. 


9. What are the top three lessons you’ve learned from your previous relationships?

Most likely, they have been with others before you. But there’s no need to get jealous of his last relationship. In fact, it’s worth hearing why those relationships are now in the past. Asking your new boyfriend this question will let you know a lot of things, like his deal-breakers or his biggest pet peeve in a relationship.


10. What’s something that makes you angrier than it should be?

Not many would ask this one for their new partner, but it’s an important one. You’ll want to know what stuff makes him angry so you can avoid it. But if there’s no way for you to avoid it, you might want to reconsider the relationship. After all, too much anger will make even the most loving relationship toxic.

Why Asking Intimate Questions Is Great for Couples

Asking questions is the best in-between, a shortcut for you to learn anything you’ve been dying to know about your boyfriend and for him to share some things he might not be comfortable just blurting out, out of the blue.

Not to mention that:

It’s a fun way to get to know your boyfriend. 

Whether your relationship is a few weeks old or a few decades-long, there are always new ways to learn about your significant other. Instead of speculating or figuring things out as you go, why not cut to the chase and just ask? It will surely make a lot of stuff easier for both of you, and fewer misunderstandings too. 

It builds greater emotional intimacy in your relationship. 

There’s simply nothing better than a heart-to-heart talk with your boyfriend to bring you closer together and build the very foundation of a healthy, lasting relationship: understanding, trust, and open communication.

It opens deeper conversations. 

Relationships are hard enough; no need to make it harder by not talking. And since no relationships are perfect, having intimate conversations with your partner allows for fruitful discussions about a couple of the most important issues in your relationship.
