What are personal questions to ask a girl? Women are often approached by men. Potentially a little too much. It’s important that when you start to get to know a woman, that you pick up on her body language and social queues. For example, if she’s pointing her toes toward you, this is a good sign. If she’s making eye contact, an even better sign. And the inverse would show you that maybe she’s needing a little space.
Disclaimer: If you’re struggling to make connections with others and are feeling like this is a serious problem, it can be beneficial to seek the help of a licensed therapist, counselor, or life coach. For a good resource, visit the Mental Health America’s list.

—Personal questions to ask a girl
It’s quite simple to develop a connection with a man. I hate to suggest that it’s harder with women, although it is. Men appreciate being noticed just as much as women. And to make them feel seen, questions that are tailored to their lifestyle will do better than generic prompts.
Spend time learning about the person you’re interested in before you go further. Action steps before you start asking questions:
- What is she interested in?
- Does she show interest toward certain things and not toward others?
- Do you know who she is?
- What are things that you’ve seen her dislike?
- What does she spend her time doing?
While it might seem a little creepy, all you’re doing is getting an idea of who the person is before you start asking questions.

A recent study by Harvard reported that 36% of all Americans feel “serious loneliness.” Many of which (almost 33% of that group) revealed that they don’t feel like they have close friends. This study goes to show that even if you’re a man looking to connect with a woman, there’s a good chance that the other person is going to have a positive response to your attempts.
In short, life is beautiful, don’t be afraid to try and make connections. Yes, rejection hurts, although it is a common part of building relationships with any person.

When is the right time to ask personal questions
Women don’t like to be approached in situations where they are going to feel vulnerable or uncomfortable. For example, if they look like they’re in a rush to pick up their Starbucks coffee, it’s not the best time to ask personal questions. Although, if they’re sitting down with you and looking you in the eye, that would be the most opportune time.
Here are some ideas to ensure that the timing is right:
- Ask the other person out for coffee.
- Ensure the two of you have enough time to have a meaningful conversation.
- Use moments when the attention of the other person is directly on you
- I.e., avoid situations where they are looking at their phone.
