Good, Intelligent Questions to Ask a Girl Without Seeming Haughty

You know how they say, never ask a girl her age? Well, there are more things that you should steer clear of asking her. But, often it becomes difficult for a guy to know what to ask and when.

Girls love to be asked interesting questions about themselves. What can I say? The fairer sex is a tad bit haughty.

They love compliments (but not too many and not in every question you ask... so space out the praises a little), and frame your questions in a way that any girl feels elated answering your questions.

So, I am betraying my own gender by giving you this list of terrific questions that are safe enough to ask girls.

A Girl You Like
When you like a girl, you need to ask questions that makes it easier for you to know her more. The questions given below are a bit random, but they are good conversation starters.

Are you seeing anyone?
(to know if she's single or not) If she says no, act surprised and ask her "How come? A pretty girl, like you, would have guys dying to be in her company".
What's your zodiac sign?
After she replies, tell her yours. Also, tell her that the two signs happen to be very compatible.
Who's your favorite actor?
This question goes into a description of her favorite actor. Which tells you what is her "type".
What do you do?
This is a basic question, to know if she is working or studying and where.
What's your favorite color?
If she asks you why you are asking the question, tell her that you are planning to buy something for her, then laugh it off as a joke, and tell her you are asking out of curiosity.

Girl You're Interested In
This is a step forward. If you like her, and are really interested in her, the questions have to be a little less casual and in-depth.

How was your school life like?
Get into the depths of it. However, if she seems uncomfortable, don't pry too far.
Do you have siblings? Are you all close?
Asking her these questions will let her know that you are interested in knowing more about her.
What are your nicknames?
Again, this question will let her know that you are interested in her. However, be ready to spill the beans about your nicknames too, as she will most probably ask you the same question.
What are your friends like?
All girls love their friends. So, if you convince her that you will get along with her friends, she will like you more easily.
Do you believe in "the one"?
She may be a little taken aback by this question. But, this question will be a clear indication that you are not a superficial guy.
Do you like to read?
If yes, then you can ask her what kind of books she reads, her favorite authors, if she is currently reading a book, etc. If she says no, then you can ask her what her favorite movies are and extend your conversation from there.
What is your idea of "the perfect date"?
This helps you know her preference and if you really like her, then you can give her the dream date she always wanted!
What kind of food do you like?
This gives you a fair enough idea as to where to take her out for a date.

The Right Questions to Ask Your Partner on a Date
It can get really uncomfortable if you experience "foot in the mouth" during a date. Silent dates can be terrible as well. So, here are a few questions you can ask her on the date.

This question will allow you to know the ambitious side to her.

Again, this question can have a funny answer. Trust me, a good date for a girl is one where she is comfortable and where she laughs.
Do you live with a roommate, family or alone?
Make sure that you ask this question in a casual way. If you seem too keen on this question to her, it might creep her out.
