A good set of get to know me questions does two jobs at once. It gives people an easy way into who you are, and it nudges you to think about things you rarely say out loud: the smell that takes you straight back to childhood, the habit you’re secretly proud of, the dream you haven’t told many people.

Whether you’re filming a “get to know me” tag, filling out an Instagram story template, breaking the ice in a new group, or swapping answers with someone you’re dating, the 110 questions below have you covered. They start light and get gradually more personal, so you can stop wherever feels right.

How to use these get to know me questions

These questions work for a few different settings, and each one calls for a slightly different approach:

  • Tag videos and posts: Pick 15 to 25 questions from different sections so your answers show range. Mix a few silly ones with one or two that reveal something real.
  • Story templates: Short, snappy questions from the “quick-fire” and “favorites” sections work best, since people tap through fast.
  • Icebreakers and new friends: Take turns answering the same question. Hearing each other’s answers is where the connection happens.
  • Dating: Save the deeper sections for once you’re comfortable. For more date-specific prompts, see our first date questions.
Tip: You never owe anyone an answer. If you’re posting publicly, skip anything that would reveal your address, school, workplace or daily routine.

Making your get to know me video or post stand out

Plenty of people answer the same questions, so the difference is in how you answer. A few ideas:

  • Tell a mini story. Instead of “My favorite food is ramen,” mention the tiny shop where you first tried it.
  • Show, don’t just tell. Hold up your favorite book, play ten seconds of the song, show your cluttered desk.
  • Let your personality lead. Laugh at your own weird answers. Viewers connect with authenticity far more than polish.
  • Invite replies. End by asking viewers to answer one question in the comments. It turns a monologue into a conversation.

Using these questions to build real connection

Offline, the magic isn’t in the question but in the follow-up. When someone answers, ask “why?” or “what was that like?” and then really listen. You’ll learn more in one honest exchange than in fifty rapid-fire answers.

Keep personal answers about personality and opinions, not identifying details.

Absolutely. Even long-term partners learn new things from questions about childhood memories, hopes and small preferences. Take turns answering, ask follow-up questions, and treat it as a relaxed date-night activity rather than a quiz.
