The fact of the matter is, questions are the most easiest way to get to know someone. I know that if you are like me, the thought of getting to know someone knew, especially if you want it to lead to somewhere great, can be very intimidating. But through our questions on how to get to know someone better below, you and I can be ready to get to know that special person, that business contact or even re-get to know someone whom you may have lost touch with.
When it comes down to it, you and I want to stick to open ended questions vs close ended questions. Which if you aren’t super familiar with the topic, click the link and it will take you to a page I created for you on to learn more.
And yet, just a quick and simple breakdown of the topic so we can all be on the same page today, open ended questions evoke more thought provoking answers. They leave room for our imaginations to run wild a bit, and offer a chance for a person to connect with the feeling behind the response.
And lets be honest with one another, we are emotional beings. We figure things out with logic, and yet we justify our final response with emotion. Also, if you and I can get someone in their feelings, they are more likely to feel connected to us.
Hence they will share more with us, open up more, and best yet they will ultimately trust us more. This trust will lead to building better relationships whether that be with your clients that will result in more deals or getting to know someone special and ultimately forming a tighter bond together that may last a lifetime!
So just as a general rule of thumb, open ended questions usually start with certain worlds, those being “what”, “why” and “how. These evoke longer responses.
You and I want to be avoiding questions that lead to more closed off responses, those being: “Is”, “Do”, “Was”, “Could” and “When”.
Of course these are general rule, and there are always exceptions. But we can always set up better open ended questions with closed ones if we feel as if we may have used more of a close ended question.
The fact of the matter is, some of the questions below can be a bit awkward to ask, but that is where breakthroughs come. If we can push through the awkwardness, we will delve deeper into the relationship.
As if you and I really want to get to know someone, it needs to be in a way where we give each other freedom to show our true selves. Show out emotions, emotions that may have been locked up for years or decades. Good and bad.
These questions on how to get to know someone below will allow you and I to do exactly that. It will help us truly create a freedom based relationship to where both parties will feel totally accepted, listened to, maybe getting you out of your comfort zones.
But through this, it will allow both parties to dig deep with each other, and true a long lasting friendship, romantic relationship or solid business partnership. Where both parties are intellectually and emotionally satisfied.
Ultimately, I created this post in a way that would be a little more broad, that you can use to get to know any type of person. Regardless of race, background, orientation, etc. And yet, it is probably ultimately geared more towards get to know you questions for couples and someone trying to from a relationship. Again though it can for sure be used in any type of scenario.
Enjoy my friend.

7 Tips For How To Get To Know Someone
The main thing to remember when trying to get to know someone is to do all you can to put the spotlight on them.
Us human beings have a big need for significance. It is one of the biggest human needs. If we can make someone feel significant, then we automatically go up in a notch in their eyes. The more we do so, the more they are comfortable sharing more and more with us.
That is when you and I can really start to get to know someone. It starts to really tap into the other persons emotional responses, to where you are connected on a deeper level.
Here are a couple tips to help you connect with someone:
- Keep good eye contact. Especially important if they are intense with their eye contact as well. This will show that you are devoting your effort to paying full attention to them. Let’s try not to look around and have our eyes dart around to much.
- Keep your phone in your pocket. This may be the ultimate form of respect nowadays. We are all in a way addicted to our mobile devices. So putting it away can really make the other person feel special and significant. Let’s try not to even put in upside down on the table. Simply just in our pockets.
- Make them the most important person in the world. Every question we ask people, we want to literally feel as if we are speaking to the most important person in the world. Talk them up, act excited with their excitement, bummed about their disappointments. You and I need to be riding their emotional roller coaster with them.
- Smile often. A smile melts down all barriers. Simply put, the more you smile, the more the other person will start smiling. This can break down internal and external resistance to help the person open up more.
- Act like you are interviewing them. We have all seen that super good interviewer, where they evoke so much out of their person on their show. A good interviewer talks very little, and actively listens to their person they are interviewing. When you and I are getting to know someone, lets act as if they are our most anticipated guest on our TV show. And that we owe it to our millions of followers to get the best interview possible.
- Go deep as you can. You and I should be taking one question and driving deeper with that question. Say for example, a person says they choose to work in the agriculture field. We can then build off that question and ask them something like: “What made you choose to get into the field for your profession?”. Then we can build off that asking them if they are fulfilled in their career, etc. I find that the real emotional answers are 3-4 layers deep from the original question.
- Allow them to compliment you. I have found when I try to act modest when people compliment me, it dismisses them in a way. Taking away the feeling they felt when they reached out to us with the compliment. It almost deflates them. I know this is a little more selfish in our approach to getting to know someone better. And yet it is another tool in our tool kit to use when we are meeting people.
Here is a article I wrote for you that may help you lock in on listening better to the people you are trying to get to know better.
