I would kind of think this goes without saying, but you don’t want to break these questions out all at once, and give your almost-guy a third degree. These are questions that you would want to just casually slip into conversation, when they actually fit, to deepen the conversation and gain a better understanding of where they are coming from. So often, someone’s past or what they want for the future will shed some light into what they’re thinking in the present. Remember not to rush it with these questions, and not to put pressure on them when asking these things. Keep a feeling of positivity and lightness, and you’ll notice how these questions get him to open up to you.

2. Do you feel like this is a time in your life where you just need to be single?
