“Which movie are

you embarrassed

to love?”

Steer him away from

cool-guy talk to a more

authentic and

vulnerable place. As

he dives into why

Beauty and the Beast

or a cheesy rom-com is

his favorite flick, you

might discover a detail

or two about him that

nobody else knows.

“What’s an

activity you don’t

do enough?”

Plenty of people

have jobs they’re not

super passionate

about, but most

everyone has a hobby

they wish they could

spend more of their

free time on. Accessing

this happy part of

his brain will bring

him joy...which

he can then share

with you.

“Is there anything

you suck at?”

He can show off his

funny side with stories

about the time he

epically wiped out

while surfing or sang

an ear-piercing

karaoke rendition of

Adele’s “Hello.” If he

can’t come up with

anything, it’s a red

flag—humility is an

important quality in a

partner.

“What type

of vacation do

you prefer?”

Maybe he loves

backpacking in Peru

or wandering the

Louvre. His answer

will reveal your

compatibility and

make you feel closer if

you have similar tastes.
