When asking these questions always listen closely to the answer and respond accordingly. Intimate questions are meant to incite meaningful conversations, not just give you true or false type knowledge about your partner. The questions are just a gateway into the powerful communication which can serve to bond you and your partner in such a way that the two of you are forever intertwined. Love often begins simply with attraction, mutual interests, and a shared sense of enjoyment which allows two people to be happy in each other's company, but love grows through conversation. When you tell someone things about yourself that you've never told anyone, you make yourself vulnerable. Trusting someone wholly with this vulnerability is true love.
