Do you have any more things you want to clear up about weird questions to ask people? Check these frequently asked questions and see if they answer any of your questions.
What is the strangest question you've heard someone ask?
Have you ever drank coffee from a cup left by someone else at a coffee shop? Or maybe: Is having a snake as a pet make you more perceptive about the world? It depends on what you define "strange" as, whether it's extremely out of the ordinary or just plain non sense.
What makes a question weird?
A question is weird when it's out of context and completely random. Like the questions on this list, the randomness is what makes the questions strange and weird.
Why does everyone ask weird questions? Is it normal to ask such questions?
People ask weird questions because they just need some way to break the ice and ease tension. It's normal, in a sense that we all just want to clear the awkward air and have something to talk about, even if it is just about weird stuff.
Are questions that are weird offensive to ask?
Some may be offensive to ask, but sometimes, they may be alright when you ask them in good faith. Just steer clear of inappropriate topics, to be sure.
How do I know if I'm asking a really freaky question to the woman I like?
The list above has a lot of questions to ask a girl you like, but if you want to know if you're asking a freaky question, just put yourself in her shoes. If you were asked that particular question, would you feel okay about it?
Is there any benefit in asking these types of questions?
Besides breaking the ice, asking these types of questions still help you get to know the other person. It might be unconventional and a little awkward at first, but it enables you to learn about each other in ways that would never come up normally.
How to ask weird questions?
Asking weird questions shows that you're creative and don't mind being silly. That you can be yourself and be confident about it. People will respond and they'll like you more. However, you still need to know how to successfully spark conversations, so here are some tips to help you in that regard.
- Let go of your pride. When you think you're too cool to be silly, you're boring. And if you want an interesting conversation, you can't be boring.
- Preface the questions (or don't). Some people aren't comfortable with their weirdness. If they seem a little uptight, ask if they want to trade weird questions and see who can ask the weirdest one. If the one you're already talking to seems a little out there, ask away to get on their level.
- Pay attention. Being too weird throws people off. Be attentive to how your questions are received, and tone it down to ensure the discussion doesn't go awry.
- Know the difference between weird and random. One important note: Being random is NOT the same as being weird. Being random is what you do with your best friend. You know each other extremely well and understand each others' humor, so it's understood that you're going to be ridiculous together with your inside jokes and silly antics. Being random with a stranger or someone you want to like is annoying. If you want to make friends, randomness is your enemy.
For example, simply asking "Container?" is random and allows for no reasonable answer. On the other hand, asking a person, "What's your favorite container?" is random, yes, but it also offers them to think about a special keepsake box, a piggy bank from their childhood, or some other thing. This is what I mean when I talk about being random. As long as you offer a chance for a reasonable response, you can engage in a meaningful conversation.
