36 Questions To Ask The Person You're Dating If You Want To Fall In Love

When you have a really great connection with someone, conversation comes naturally.

You can talk for hours, or just be with each other for hours, and you sometimes forget to find out things about them that you actually would love to know. Life is too short to not take in every moment you can with the people you love, and asking the right questions to take an average moment to a super adorable one is always worth it.

Here are 36 questions that will totally improve your relationship:

1. Do you have a place you go to that always feels like home? (Can be a literal place, or something that you do, etc.)

2. When you were younger, what qualities did you imagine in your dream partner?

3. What's your dream honeymoon location?

4. What's a moment that you felt most appreciated in any of your current, or past relationships?

5. What's one of the most important lessons in life that you can't wait to teach your kids one day?

6. What does your dream home look like? (Have them google or pinterest what they want to show you)

7. What's something in life that you really want right now, but don't have?

8. Ask them to show you their baby pictures if you haven't seen them already! If you have, ask them what one of their favorite childhood memories is.

9. What celebrity (or in your own life) couple do you look up to the most as couple goals?

10. Do you have any fears in life that are odd or unexplainable, or just completely weird? If not, what is one of your greatest fears in life?

11. If you could live in a TV show as any character, who would it be?

12. What political issue are you most passionate about and would like to change?

13. What are some things you've done in the past few weeks to get you closer to your goals?

14. What is the ultimate thing that motivates you? (Can be a feeling, or a greater cause, or simply being crazy competitive, etc.)

15. What's something (simple and small, or difficult to achieve) that you've always wanted in a relationship but haven't had the chance to experience yet?

16. What does your dream life look like? What would you be doing if you could be anywhere you wanted in life right now?

17. Do you have any family members that feel more like best friends than family?

18. What is the biggest change, or growth, that you want to make progress with in yourself? (Be more confident, stay more positive, connect more with myself, etc.)

19. What's your favorite rom com? (Boys we know you have them)

20. What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?

21. If you could live in any decade (for the style, lifestyle, etc), what would it be?

22. Would you rather be filthy rich, or A-List celebrity level famous?

23. What things in life make you have the most fun?

24. Do you have a goofy sense of humor that you hide from most people or from the world?

25. What was the most fun date you've ever been on?

26. Think long term and what you can realistically accomplish in terms of your wildest dreams: What are you the most excited to achieve in the next ten years?

27. How important is travel to you? Do you want to travel the world, or are you good with the idea of staying where you're at for a long time? Maybe you're somewhere in between?

28. How did you get over your worst heartbreak?

29. If I offered you several thousand dollars to visit any location this weekend, where would you take us?

30. What is a type of music (artist, genre, etc.) that you listen to but are embarrassed to admit that you like as much as you do?

31. Share a meme (video, tweet, post, etc) that makes you laugh but no one else you know thinks it's funny. (or is just really stupid).

32. What's the hardest you've laughed with someone else and why?

33. What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

34. What do you do for self-care? What are the most important things you do to keep yourself feeling as best you can (mentally/spiritually/emotionally/etc)?

I don't think I say it enough...

New Brunswick, NJ

StableDiffusion

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
