8 Weird Questions A Guy Might Ask When He Likes You, According to a Guy

For us guys, liking a woman sometimes makes us come across a little weird. We sometimes feel a little overwhelmed, leading to us saying or doing weird things. In fact, we may even ask you some of these weird questions for no apparent reason.

  1. Do you have a best friend? Yes, this question is a little out of left field. No, we’re not trying to make a play for your friend. Rather, some of the smarter guy out there know that if we want to have a relationship with you, we have to be down with your friends. The Spice Girls taught us that back in the day and that lesson still rings true today. The bottom line is that if a guy truly likes you, he’ll be more likely to ask you about your friends and the people you’re close to in life.
  2. What would you grab first if your house was on fire? Odds are, a guy means no harm by asking you about a hypothetical situation in which your house is on fire. However, this is one of those questions guys will use when they’re desperate to make conversation. It might seem lame, but it’s actually a good question to ask when a guy wants to find out what’s important to you, which is a sign he likes you.
  3. Do you have any hidden talents? This isn’t exactly a standard dating question, but a guy that likes you will try to get to know you on a deeper level. Rather than bugging you to divulge your deepest, darkest secrets, he’ll ask you about your hidden talents. Ultimately, he just wants to learn something about you that you don’t share with everyone. If you have a hidden talent, feel free to share it with him. Even if it’s a little weird, he’ll probably tell you he likes it because he’s crushing on you.
  4. What was the worst job you ever had? This question seems a little weird cause it feels like we’re bringing up bad memories. However, a guy who asks this is just looking for a way to bond and connect with you. Let’s be honest, we’ve all had bad jobs before, so this is one way he can relate to you. It’s surprisingly easy to bond with someone when you’re complaining about the same thing. Sometimes that’s all a guy can do to connect with someone he likes.
  5. What do you usually do when someone is annoying you? He probably won’t ask this out of the blue, but he might ask something like this if he gets the chance. For starters, it’s his way of double checking that he’s not annoying you, which would obviously be crushing to find out if he likes you. He also wants to be able to tell in the future if he is annoying you so he can avoid doing that.
  6. What does your name mean? OK, if you have a boring and traditional name like Katie or Lauren, you can probably ignore this. No offense to anyone with those names. Anyway, if you have a slightly less common name, a guy that’s digging you may ask what it means. It’s just a way of learning more about you without asking the same old boring “getting to know you” questions. Also, look out for smart guys who somehow know the origin of names and what they mean. If a guy shares that information, it probably means he likes you and is trying to impress you, which isn’t so bad, right?
  7. If you could jump into a pool of anything, what would it be? This is definitely a weird and random question. He may not ask this exact thing, but any question that seems completely out of nowhere could actually be a sign that he likes you. Guys that you might categorize as “players” are usually well-rehearsed and ask every girl they talk to the same standard questions. Asking a weird and wacky question like this usually indicates that he’s nervous just talking to you. He wouldn’t be nervous if he didn’t actually like you, which is why you shouldn’t be put off by unusual questions.
  8. What’s one thing you’d like to go back in time and change? This is another question that probably won’t come up organically, but a guy might bring it up when he really wants to keep you talking. It’s actually kind of a deep question and a guy can learn a lot about you from the answer. That’s exactly the goal of a guy who actually likes you, which is why you shouldn’t be too freaked out if a guy asks a question like this.
