99 Questions to Get To Know Someone

You might have 99 problems, but being out of conversational topics ain't one.
Whether these questions are being used to get over first date jitters or to keep you busy on a long roadtrip, I hope you find them both useful and fun.

Favorites:

A lot of people consider these to be juvenile questions, but I believe they have a purpose. If you both favorite Adam Sandler movies, you probably have compatible senses of humor. If you both love the same restaurant, then it’ll make the “where do you want to eat” question a bit simpler (unless you are me and have about three favorites for each question… whoops).
