Keep in mind that if you’re using these funny questions to ask a girl to make her laugh, you want to try to work them into a conversation. This helps keep the conversation light and fluid. If you text her out of the blue with a question, it might seem a little random and disingenuous. Instead, try to work in an animal question when she’s already talking about her dog. Or, try question #26 after you’ve both ordered drinks at the bar.
Whichever funny questions you end up using, I guarantee that your conversations will be better than the ones she has with most men she matches with on dating apps.
