Have you ever felt like you’ve got nothing to say but still want to talk to someone a lot? It often happens when you’re into someone but feel shy, or when you haven’t broken the ice between you yet. In this case, you can use some interesting questions to ask when online dating feels forced and uninteresting.

But how can you find interesting questions to ask your online dating crush? For most people, it’s an opportunity to highlight their creativity and intelligence, but you can’t always come up with great ideas when needed. We’ve collected a few interesting questions to ask your online dating partner for you. Use them as inspiration and come up with your own questions to make your dating experience unforgettable!

What’s a random skill you secretly wish you were amazing at, even if it’s totally useless?

Most people dream of being natural artists or music geniuses, but that’s boring – everyone knows that these skills are cool. But what about “being great at folding paper planes” or “creating the most gorgeous bouquets”? Skills like that could make your life more exciting in subtle ways. Let your online crush use their creativity and come up with various seemingly useless but secretly amazing skills!

What kind of vibe do you think your aura gives off to strangers?

Most people have the perfect image of themselves in their heads, even when they don’t admit it, and it’s totally normal. Also, most people imagine themselves giving off some specific vibes to others, whether it’s close to reality or not. Asking someone about their vibe helps you see another person’s self-perception better.

What movie or cartoon character is the most similar to you?

It’s not about appearance, of course – it’s mostly about personality, vibes, sense of humor, and other subtle things. This question can be quite helpful when you want to know someone better because it helps you understand their preferences, sense of humor, and the traits they notice in themselves and others better. You might be surprised to know that your potential partner actually sees themselves as introverted or even boring while you see them as the most interesting and charming person ever. Also, you might notice that they prefer quiet and smart characters over loud and easy-going, and it might represent their inner world as well.

What is the song you used to love but now you hate it and why?

Most people have strong emotional bonds with their playlists and listen to music a lot in their free time (or while working, driving, doing sports, etc). Loving a song means having strong emotional bonds with its mood, lyrics, vocals, or emotions it provides. When someone starts hating their favorite song, it might be a sign of their personality changing, a reaction to some major changes in their life, or tough feelings and memories tied to this song. Sometimes people start hating their favorite song because it becomes too popular – and it can also be quite representative. Some songs make us sad, and others remind us about the people we used to be or the people we used to love.

Have you ever had a movie or series you refused to watch for a long time just to understand later that it’s your favorite show?

This question is like an opposite version of the previous one. Sometimes we refuse new experiences because we feel that someone forces us to enjoy them, and it shows our individuality and non-conformism. Meanwhile, understanding your own mistakes is a huge green flag for everyone, just like your ability to overcome your biases and give something a chance.

These qualities can be vital for successful dating, because they show that this person is self-aware, ready to change its mind, and open to new things, even when it takes time to accept them.
