The key to any happy and healthy relationship is communication. If you can’t have an interesting conversation with a person, eventually, the spark fades out. Hence, it's important to keep your romantic relationship with your girlfriend alive by engaging her in conversations where she feels heard, seen, and understood. You need to be a good listener who poses the right questions and is understanding and compassionate enough to deal with honest responses.
So, if you’re wondering how to keep things fun or see whether your future goals align, it might be wise to ask your girlfriend some relevant questions. Here is a list of questions to ask your girlfriend based on the mood and conversation objective.
Here are some of the right questions to ask your girlfriend
1. Getting-to-know questions

You must ensure you pose the right questions to your girlfriend so she knows you’re truly interested in her life. Having these questions discussed early on ensures that you know a little more about each other than friends. You could also make this a fun game you play on text (when away). So here are some getting-to-know questions to ask a girlfriend over text.
