How to Ask These Without Killing Attraction

DO

Ask one meaningful question, then listen deeply

Share your own answer briefly after she responds

Let silence do some of the work


DON’T

Stack multiple serious questions in a row

Ask future-binding questions before emotional safety exists

Use questions to soothe anxiety rather than build curiosity



---

The Golden Rule

> If the question would feel heavy to answer,
it’s too early to ask — even if it’s important.



Long-term relationships aren’t built by asking everything early;
they’re built by asking the right thing at the right moment.

A witty line

> Chemistry opens the door. Curiosity keeps it open.



A wise principle

> Depth follows safety, not urgency.
