Question Game
Over the years I have noticed that the easiest way to get to know someone is to play "the question game" especially if you don't get to see that person much and are texting. Most people I know like to play this game as a way to get to know someone better. Sometimes people have a hard time thinking up original and good questions... so I have assembled a list here of 200 questions that you can use when you are playing the question game and making conversation. If you have more to add, please feel free to comment on this post! You can never have enough questions.
