How many of these relationship-boosting questions have you asked your boyfriend?

You’ve made it past the first date. And the second. And the third. Each time, you dazzled this guy with your personality, impressed him with your intelligence and probably make him laugh, too. Now that you’ve taken your relationship to the next level and he’s officially your boyfriend, open, honest communication is more important than ever.

One way to facilitate such dialogues is by asking good questions. Curiosity, after all, has the power to make or break a relationship. “Good, meaningful, foundationally-secure relationships with partners who are lovingly, vulnerably invested in the continuation of that relationship are so often tanked or ended by a lack of curiosity in both or one partner,” says psychotherapist Taylor Orlandoni, M.A., M.Ed., LMHC in New York City. “As soon as we stop being curious about our partner and their internal world, their desires, their hopes — we are at risk of simply assuming we know what our partner wants or means.”

That’s why Oralndoni says so much of a couple’s work is in the reinstallation of curiosity. “You and your partner are constantly evolving and there is always more to learn,” she says, adding that questions can range from deep (“What’s something I do that makes you feel loved and safe?”) to playful (“If someone asked you to write a blurb about me, like the ones for authors on the jackets of their books, what would it say?”).

Ahead, there are 100 more questions to ask your boyfriend — whether you want to deepen your relationship or simply want a few conversation starters for long car ride.
