What these questions are good for

The early questions that skip the weather and find out if there's actually something there.

What makes these different The whole difficulty at this stage is that you want to know a great deal and have earned the right to ask very little. These sets are calibrated for that: genuinely interesting questions that carry no weight the other person has not agreed to. Nothing here asks for a confession or a verdict on where this is going. Trade, do not extract. Every question you ask should cost you an answer of comparable honesty, and if you are only asking, it reads as an assessment rather than an interest. The other rule is to stop early. Ending a conversation while it is still enjoyable is what makes someone want the next one, and no question on this page works better than leaving one unasked. One more thing worth saying, because it is the mistake this stage invites: do not treat a good conversation as evidence of anything. People are interesting to talk to for reasons that have nothing to do with whether they are interested in you, and reading a long, warm answer as a signal is how this stage goes wrong. Enjoy the conversation for what it actually is. If you want to know where you stand, that is a different question, asked plainly, on a different night — and no list of thirty can do it for you.
