It’s really easy to take our friends for granted. We’ve known them for years but never bothered to ask the most basic things about their lives because we assumed we already knew everything about them. For example, what’s their favorite color? What’s their most beloved pizza topping choice? What’s a family tradition they cherish? Or their parents’ names?
If you just realized you still don’t know your friends’ favorite things, it’s time to address the issue — even though it can be awkward to ask these personal questions when you’ve known your pals for a long time.
So gather all your favorite people and get to know each other better! We’ve rounded up a complete list of interesting questions to ask: You’ll be surprised by the number of details you’ll find out! The best thing about these questions is that they can strike up conversations in an instant. They also work wonders as convo starters in case you’re getting to know someone for the first time and your mind tends to go blank.
