Tell me Everything

suchgr8heights by suchgr8heightsOG 2003 · Oct 25, 2004 · 431 views

So, you find someone and you both decide you wanna know everything about eachother. To do this, you need to ask questions. Just saying "Tell me Everything" is not gonna work because then the convo ends up being all over the place and the human brain has a hard time retaining information that way. So what are some questions that SHOULD be asked, questions that draw pertinent information that will help you discern what that person is really about? Also, what are some fun and interesting questions that can keep things interesting and stimulating?

Yayo is another word for cocaine

fivezero #8.1 fivezeroOG 2003

"cocaine is a hell of a drug."

cerbrato #7 cerbratoOG 2002

Ask them if they've ever done any Yayo

originalsnob #7.1 originalsnobOG 2004

violetboregaurd #6 violetboregaurdOG 2003

If you didn't know how old you are, how old would you want to be?

tinser #6.1 tinserOG 2002

seven!

thatdarngirl #5 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Ask them what drugs have they done. I'm serious. Many people have dappled in things and it's just an interesting thing to know.

fivezero #5.1 fivezeroOG 2003

dappled? mehehehee...

malibu #5.2 malibuOG 2001

malibu malibuOG 2001 informative

dan hill is such a JCPenney Model!

violetboregaurd violetboregaurdOG 2003

malibu malibuOG 2001

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

OOooo scandalous, really? Isn't this abuse of MOD POWER?

NEWS @ 10:scandal rocks a small eZabel thread chaos insues.

malibu malibuOG 2001

good one pat, i wanted to edit this and just couldn't figure out how to do so

tinser #4 tinserOG 2002

huge pressure question: "tell me something about you, anything...that i don't know"...its so random and open-ended, and puts all the pressure on you to figure out what the person would want to know

i've been asked this a few times and hate it

malibu #4.1 malibuOG 2001

when i'm bored i always ask to be told a story. as broad as it sounds, people come up with these hysterically random things. i always end up laughing. its just that exciting thing that happened to you but you don't know who to tell. then you can tell someone.

fivezero #4.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

what a selfish "entertain me" princess thing to do. jk!

tinser #3 tinserOG 2002

if you could only talk to three people for the rest of your life, who would they be and why?

you can find out who the most important people in the persons life are...and, sometimes you'll get included on the list, so thats always nice

ilikebirds #3.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

tinser. i want to marry you for this.
no one .. or lets say.. rarely..does anyone ask an intriguing question.. or something challenging my CRAZY mASSivE wild intellect.. but you got it here.. good question.

tinser #3.1.1 tinserOG 2002

aww, thanks ty! okay, now let's get hitched!

ilikebirds #3.1.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

and the answer is no one. if i were to only listen to 3 people. i'd stick with the 3 in my head and no need for anyone else.

superhero #3.2 superheroOG 2004

my list would be

1. bill s. preston, esquire
2. ted "theordore" logan
3. RUFUS!

ilikebirds #2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

If i told you that you had a nice body? would you hold it against me?

sunshyne #1 sunshyneOG 2004

i've used some of these when getting to know someone new, not necessarily romantically, but in general:
where did you grow up?
who do you live with?
what keeps you busy?
what keeps you sane?
what are you doing now?
what are you doing this weekend?
what are you doing next year?
what do you like about yourself?
what do you know for sure? (totally stolen from oprah)

suchgr8heights #1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Thank you Summer! :)

sunshyne #1.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

youre welcome! also, "what accomplishment are you most proud of?" and "what is your biggest regret?" are pretty revealing. of course, you prolly want to ask about goals and stuff.

suchgr8heights #1.1.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Good stuff!

hunkpapap #1.1.1.2 hunkpapapOG 2003 funny

yeah sorry, no. Those are job interview questions, not relationship questions...

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

We're talkin' preliminary relationship q's tho...basically ANY q's are good because it's that much more you know about the other person.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

but don't ask them all at once cause it will seem like you're interviewing him and thats not what it is at all. jsut get onto subjects where you can ask the appropriate questions.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

women are interviewing for a spiritual head. thats a big job to let someone do for you. put yourself in our shoes.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

well i understand but put yourself in the shoes of a man who feels he is in an interrogation room with the hot light on him and just wants to run.

I'm just saying re-word the question, because it is something you want to know.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

you can ask all the questions at once, silly! i would be all: back off, nosey person!

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

I wouldn't wanna be interrogated either...to be honest, when the communication is good between two people, conversation flows and it has thus far but I just don't wanna miss anything important that I should have asked about. ya know?

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

I'm just giving advice about most guys. Personally i don't care. And any man who knows Summer would know she is way too sweet to actually be interrogating anyone and her intentions behind any questions are sincere. But most women can't pull it off...

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

you mean to say most women arent sincere in their inquiring?

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 suchgr8heights

wow i seem to be diggin a deeper hole here. So I'm going to put down my shovel, sit down, cross my legs indian style and wait for a ladder...

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003 hunkpapap

NO! please don't! I'm curious and wanna know what you're thinking.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 suchgr8heights

i need to help pat here....most women seem like they're innterogating ones cause they want a mate. but not all. like he said only certain ones like summer can get away with it. but others it may seem like and interview/interrogation, as some of these girls are already planning the wedding upon the first meeting with the guys.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 socalgal

you were reading my mind exactly, thank you... :)

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 hunkpapap

anytime hun =)

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003 socalgal

Ok, I see. But to bring it back, we're talking about two people who've agreed to "talk." Just lookin' for material.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 suchgr8heights

even then you have to be careful. Guys don't like being put on the spot. THey can be SO wildly into you but interrogate them or do something lame, they can do a 180 and re-think about seeking to pursue you.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

aww, patrick, that was really sweet! i think i am more likely to get in trouble the other way, bc im so interested in learning about ppl and genuinely concerned that things are going well for them, some guys may think im interested in a different way then i intend.

socalgal #1.2 socalgalOG 2003

those are some good questions!

my questions are sporatic. I'm VERY attentive to detail so i like to look at expressions also when asking questions.

superhero #1.2.1 superheroOG 2004 funny

i think a good question is "do you like the every-3-week haircut look", because i do

suchgr8heights #1.2.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

this is not worthy of a funny tag...Yea, I'm hatin'

socalgal #1.2.1.2 socalgalOG 2003

you're LAME

superhero superheroOG 2004

it's an east coast "i live too close to bethel" joke .... one day you can visit and then you'll understand

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

superhero superheroOG 2004

suchgr8heights #1.2.2 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

It's hard to do that over the phone, but I think that's REALLY important too. I have to keep that in mind.
