100 Best Getting To Know You Questions

When we meet someone for the first time, it is impossible to know everything about this person in the first meeting only. Getting to know someone is a gradual process; it takes time, interest and a little bit of effort. But at the same time this process is very interesting; after all, it is not just about the person but this person comes with a whole new world, new incidents and new possibilities. This new person will slowly reveal details about himself, through anecdotes that he will tell himself or you can slightly accelerate the process by asking the right questions. The right questions will help him in opening up without any hesitation with you because he will know that you are interested in knowing more about him and also, what exactly it is that you want him to tell you about himself. Asking questions also make sure as to what it is specifically that you want to know about this person; if it is his personal life that interests you or his professional world or if you are interested in knowing him sans everything else, just the person that he is. Asking questions to know someone better is also an art. You cannot just blurt all the questions out on someone’s face; you have to have the right timing for every question. You need to understand which question fits where, because if he is talking about his mother and you will suddenly interrupt that with a question about his job, the conversation will take a completely different course and it might end up leaving him wondering if you are not interested in certain parts of his life. You need to let your questions flow with the flow. If he starts one topic or aspect about himself, then take the clue for the questions from what he is already talking about. The questions will spring up from the inside of the conversation and if in case there is not any scope left for that, then you can bring the questions from the outside and give the conversation a new direction. The main thing to remember is to make this person feel comfortable enough to start opening up to you. You need to show that you are empathetic and a good listener. You should be able to exhibit brilliant amount of patience if you want to know someone better; the key is to talk less and listen more. And certainly do not make it look like a formal interview, throw in a few personal elements into it and make it more casual and easy going.
