Why is it always so fun to get to know a new person?
Because when you really get to know someone, you usually realize how awesome they are - and you get to showcase how awesome YOU are as well.
There’s excitement in the process of learning about someone new while simultaneously sharing what makes you unique. Whether you just matched on a dating app, just joined a new team at work, or you’re sitting at the table on your first date, a good set of Getting to Know You questions can come in handy.
The issue is that most of these icebreakers are so… what’s the word? Boring!!
The truth is, hearing about someone’s day is probably not the best way to really get to know them. Plus, if you’re actually trying to assess whether there’s any potential for a deeper relationship, you need to go past the classic “What do you do for a living” questions.
So we’ve done the hard work for you. We’ve collected some of the top Getting to Know You questions from the Gather app that REALLY help you learn about someone new.
These conversation starters are great for first dates, corporate icebreakers, dating app matches, and everything in between. Each question actually reveals something about that person’s personality, past experiences, or future goals - but in a really fun way!
