It can be awkward to meet someone for the first time. It’s tempting to go right to the point, but you don’t want to come on too strong because you don’t know them (and they don’t know you) — especially if the person in question is your bestie’s new boyfriend. Even if you’re meeting them for the first time, there are a few key questions to ask your best friend’s boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner that will tell you everything you need to know about them… for the time being, at least.
Maintain a light and airy atmosphere. Talk about where they grew up, where they went to school, what sort of workout they prefer, and how they feel about their job, while being as kind and non-threatening as possible. Here are some questions to ask to learn more about your friend’s boyfriend.
