If you’re like most women, you know how hard it is to make small talk with a guy you’re interested in. You want to come across as charming, flirty, and sweet. While you may think you can’t go wrong by asking questions that show an interest in the special guy in your life, think again. There are specific questions that will turn a man on and make him more interested in you and other questions that do the opposite. As a Relationship Astrologer with many years of experience, I’ve found that, truly, a lot depends on his sign.
Even if you aren’t an expert in astrology, some basic knowledge about the different signs can go a long way to help you set the stage for a hot and sizzling romance. The Sun represents the outer personality and ego. By understanding a man’s Sun sign, you have a key to unlocking his desires in love and will know how to avoid bruising his ego. Here are the top questions to ask a guy based on his Zodiac sign.
Questions to Ask a Passionate Aries Man
Men born under the sign of the Ram love it when a woman asks them certain questions. But you have to know just how to treat an Aries man. If you ask questions with the wrong tone, he’ll feel you’re interrogating him.
Though this sign is spontaneous, flying by the seat of your pants can result in tension and drama when it comes to men born under this sign. When you talk to a man born under the first sign of the zodiac, it’s best to ask him about his personal interests and successes.
This is because Aries men love to show off. They are full of passion and energy. Aries men take pride in their accomplishments. When you ask an Aries man questions of a specific nature he’ll feel seen and validated. This helps him to let down his guard and solidifies the bond between you two.
Some specific questions to ask an Aries man include the following:
“What’s your greatest strength?”
“How did you overcome that challenge?”
“Can you help me with this problem I’m having?”
Call on an Aries man to boast about his strengths or accomplishments or to use his skills to help solve a problem. This plays to an Aries man’s ego- and men born under this sign are quite egotistical- and flattering him can be a key to his heart.
Questions to Ask a Stubborn Taurus Man
Men born under the sign of the Bull are headstrong and persistent just like their animal symbol. Taurus men generally don’t like to be questioned. This is because they will interpret most questions as an insult to their integrity or intelligence. Be careful when you ask questions of a man born under this sign.
As a fixed earth sign, people born under the sign of Taurus are set in their ways. When you ask a Taurus man a question, be careful of your tone of voice. You don’t want to give him the impression that you are questioning because you doubt him. Yet there are some questions even a Taurus man will feel moved by. When you ask a Taurus man questions, don’t interrogate him directly. Instead, ask him about his expertise in practical matters.
Ask him his favorite recipe for a meal you’re interested in making. Inquire into his investment strategies or business success. Don’t pry, but do ask him about his opinions and strategies when it comes to valuables, collections, business matters and investments.
Taurus is also the sign of beauty and art, so asking a Taurus man for his opinion on matters of beauty can be a good way to his heart. Here are some suggested questions for your Taurus love interest.
“What is your favorite artistic movement?”
“What’s your opinion on (trendy financial strategies)?”
“I used to love (name of food) but I can’t find a good recipe, do you have a favorite recipe for this?”
Remember that Taurus men can be opinionated. Use this personality trait to your benefit by asking your Taurus man for his thoughts as often as possible.
Questions to Ask a Playful Gemini Man
The sign of the Twins is known for being blessed with a gift for gab. Those born under this sign are playful, friendly and inquisitive. They are natural conversationalists and can be adaptable enough to enjoy any topic. Yet when it comes to asking questions of a Gemini guy, there are some definite winning topics and other subjects to avoid.
When you want to flirt with your Gemini guy or arouse his interest in you, ask him questions that make him think. Ask about his favorite genres of books, movies, and television shows. You can’t go wrong with pop culture trivia or questions about his interests in media.
Ask what electronics he uses or inquire about his opinion about new technologies or gadgets. Ask him about the neighborhood where he grew up. Avoid asking him about his feelings. This topic is a touchy one for Gemini men. He would rather converse about intellectual matters. Ask about his favorite songs or musicians, for example.
Here are the best questions to ask a Gemini man when you want to inspire him:
“What was your neighborhood/community/school like when you were growing up?”
“What kind of music do you like?”
“What was your favorite concert/performance?”
“What books are you reading now?”
“Did you check out (name of trendy new movie or show)?”

Sensitive and nurturing Cancer men are caring and compassionate. They need to feel safe and secure in relationships, so conversation shouldn’t come across as too abrupt or harsh.

It’s best to ask him questions about home, family, cooking, and business. Cancer men are protective and highly invested in their domestic lives.

This shows him you care about the people he cares about.

Men born under this sign are the investigators of the zodiac. Yet they don’t like it when the tables are turned. Part of the ways that Scorpio men maintain a sense of power and control is by being the ones to ask the questions, not the ones to answer them.
Yet it’s essential to ask him about himself and his interests as you get to know him.

An Aquarius man will become bored with the same old basic conversations. He wants to engage in topics that push boundaries and can be shocking.
