I actually love deep-meaningful conversations.
That’s how I met my current partner. We fell in love over talking on the phone.
You know that feeling when it’s late, the world has gone quiet, and you’re curled up next to him—maybe in person, maybe on the phone—and you just don’t want the conversation to end?
You ask him something random, like “Did you ever believe in soulmates?”
And suddenly, he’s telling you about his first heartbreak, or the moment he realized what love really feels like.
That’s the kind of connection deep questions can unlock.
Not the surface-level stuff. Not the “what’s your favorite movie” kind of talk.
But the real stuff. The kind of questions that make him pause… think… and share parts of himself he doesn’t show just anyone.
If you want to build emotional intimacy, spark meaningful conversation, or just learn more about the quiet corners of his heart, this post is for you.
