#15. Make or break
“Do they use tabs or spaces?
It can make or break.”
#14. Because I never pass up a “Seinfeld” reference
“What’s the deal with Ovaltine?”
#13. What makes them tick
“Family. Occupation. Likes/ dislikes. Movies/ tv/ entertainment. Travel. Dreams. History of clothing/ accessories they have. Hobbies (this is a great one to get them on a talking train and to quickly get to know what makes them tick).”
#12. You hear about Pluto?
“You hear about Pluto? That’s messed up, right?”
#11. Childhood facts
“Anything about their childhood and where they grew up. You can learn a lot about them based on that, and lots of people like talking about it.”
#10. Very important
“So, are you single?”
#9. Some good ideas
“Their favorite meal as a kid, the ones their mom or dad would make them when they were either down or celebrating. This usually branches to some good honest stories.
If it’s near Halloween, favorite or least favorite costume they ever had is an easy one.
Also I have no godly idea why, but one I found on Reddit is 3) if you could ride any animal whatsoever safely, what would it be? For some that ones gotten me a lot of mileage.”
#8. Trick question
“Coke or pepsi, trick question water. She falls madly in love with you, you tell her to meet you in germany, you go to argentina, 18 years later she finds you, turns out she has a son, its yours, you offer to meet in paris. Jokes on her, you went to japan.”

#6. Acronyms are fun
“FORD. Family, occupation, recreation, dreams.

The dos and don’ts.”
