How We Chose the Questions

“Everything can be solved in life by asking the right questions,” says couples therapist Sofie Roos. “The problem is that we don’t do that or we fail to ask the right ones.”

Roos tells us that, perhaps most importantly, the right questions lead to the right answers—for you. With the right questions, you’ll find out if your partner’s answers jibe with your own. The answers can show whether you’re a match or a miss. Or, to be a little less deep about it, they can help you learn a bit more about the person you’re into.

These questions are sure to bring about the answers you seek—whether it’s your first date or you’ve been together for years.
