Getting married is an amusing feeling, but these feelings are multiplied when you have to meet a girl from the perspective of getting married. Although it is a difficult task, yet it is best to know what all a guy should and should not ask a girl. Well, last thing you would want is a stranger rolling out in laughter at your questions (or worse, get beaten up for the inappropriate ones!). So, here are some questions that guys should ask to get to know the girl better before marriage.
Always remember that just like you, even the girl maybe nervous about this meeting. So, your best approach should be to start with questions that are general and can help you break the ice. Ask her what her name means, her hobbies, her favourite cuisine, etc. If you feel that the girl is shy, then begin the conversation by talking about yourself and then get her involved in the course. This way you will get an idea of what kind of a person she is.
