She Doesn’t Ask Me Questions About Myself [SOLVED]

Communication is the most important aspect of a relationship. No kind of relationship can exist without communication. From a little ant on your table to a giant blue whale in the ocean, all animals communicate effectively with each other. So do humans.

Asking questions is a crucial part of human interaction. That’s how we get to know about things and people. Asking questions helps us to carry on with a conversation.

A new relationship demands a lot of conversations in order to know the person better. If your girlfriend doesn’t ask you questions, there is nothing to worry about. She is not much of a talker. She listens, and that’s how she probably gets to know you.

In this loud world that only thinks and talks about oneself, listening is a skill not possessed by many. Try to appreciate that.

But what is keeping her quiet? What makes her talk less? Is she not interested in me anymore? — are the questions that brought you here. Let’s explore the reasons together.

Possible reasons why she won’t ask questions

Two people can never be identical in every aspect.  Being your girlfriend doesn’t have to mean that she needs to be a photocopy of what you are. You can be the talkative one while she can stay on the quieter side. 

She likes to listen. She is probably great at answering your questions. Her listening abilities are good enough to know the needful about you.

However, there is even a faint chance of her not being interested in you anymore. There are a lot of other reasons too. Some of them have been enlisted below. Read on.

#1 She doesn’t like to talk much

She doesn’t talk much, and that is what makes her so special. She is different from the others. Her intense quietness attracted you to her in a room full of people. In a society that likes to talk and brag about itself, she chooses to stay as quiet as possible. She is an observer.

She observes every little aspect of your life. She probably knows you better than anyone, thanks to her listening skills. If you confront her about this matter, she would probably say— “What’s there to ask stupid questions when I already know about you?”

#2 She is a great listener

She won’t ask you questions because she is great at listening. She gets to know things about you just by hearing you out. Listening is a skill not possessed by most people.

Most people like to talk. She listens. If you are a talkative person, you would need someone who would listen to your endless rants. She is that person. She listens without complaining.

A good listener is often good at remembering important things. When was the last time she helped you find the key you kept in your bag and forgot?

She listens to you when you are distraught over things at work. A person who listens to you when you need to vent out is rare to find.

#3 She is introverted

Introverts are fascinating people. They have a world of their own. They don’t have this unnecessary curiosity about others’ lives. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t ask questions. She is happy with whatever she already knows about you. If you want her to know more, you will have to strike up new conversations.

It’s not that she is not interested in you. She is just less curious than others. Once she finds you safe enough to share her world, you will meet this whole new person who was hiding behind the quiet girl.

#4 She observes you to know you better

She is excellent at observing people. She has been doing that with you since the very beginning of the relationship. She doesn’t feel the need to ask you questions as observing you has answered most of her quarries about you.

Not asking questions doesn’t mean she is not into you. It doesn’t mean she is not interested in you. She likes you enough to know you more than you know her.

For her, asking questions is a sheer waste of time. She thinks if she asks you a question, she probably won’t get an honest answer.

It is quite a fact that your answers could be manipulated, depending on your mood and your urge to impress her more. That’s why she chooses to depend on her observation powers to know you better.

#5 She already knows the answers

She has observed you for a long time now, she has listened to you, and she has asked you all the possible questions to know you better. Now she already knows the answers. There is nothing more to ask. There is nothing mysterious about you anymore.

This can happen when you two are in a long-term relationship. The beginning of any relationship sees a lot of interesting conversations endless chats.

Getting to know each other is the best phase of your relationship. Sadly, that part is over for you guys. There is nothing more to ask. There is no mystery left between you two.

But don’t get disheartened. From here begins a life where you feel closer to each other than ever. The new mushy romance is no longer needed now. Instead, you get to know the real person behind the one who ate curry with a fork on your first date.

She stopped asking you questions because she now knows the real you, the one who licks the plate clean when there is deep dish pizza for dinner.

#6 She is mad at you

She won’t ask you questions, she won’t answer them, she won’t even talk to you. She is clearly mad at you. She is probably super annoyed at something you have done said. She could be mad about something you have not done.

She won’t ask questions because she wants you to admit what you have done. She wants the answer without the question.

If you know the reason behind her being mad, and if that’s you, your job has already been made easy. But what happens when you are not aware of your fault?

In situations like this, her face and her behavior can speak a lot about what made her mad in the first place. Try to observe that instead of going into an angry exchange of words.

#7 She wants you to ask questions

She has already asked you all the possible questions that were needed to know you better. It is your turn now. She wants you to ask her questions about her life. She wants you to know more about her.

Knowing each other closely is a crucial part of any romantic relationship. You can’t go on living with a person who you know nothing about. She would gladly answer all the questions you have about her.

However, asking her why she isn’t asking you questions won’t do you any good. Such a question can easily turn a conversation into a bitter exchange of words, within minutes.

#8 She is not interested in you anymore

Chances are there that you are no longer interesting to her. All the questions have been asked; all the conversations have been dealt with. There is no element of mystery left between the two of you.

She is not that into you anymore, and she is not being able to say that. Not asking you questions translate into not being interested in your life anymore. 

This relationship has lost its spark. It is meaningless to her now. She is looking for the lost times that you spent in each other’s company at the beginning of the relationship.

However, a loss of interest in you can also be triggered by your behavior. Did you say something to hurt her? Even a little word can acquire a lot of meaning when you throw it in an intentionally hurtful manner.

What can you do?

You can always try to get her to talk more, to ask more questions about you. But it would help if you were gentle with this as a sudden change in your behavior can be intimidating to her.

If she is a keen observer, your behavioral change can earn you negative points. Remember, her entire idea of you as a person is based on her observations.

I have some suggestions for dealing with the situation. Read on.

#1 Talk to her more often

She is not a talkative person. Therefore it is your job to make her talk more if you want her to ask more questions about your life. You need to make yourself more interesting in her eyes. She won’t talk unnecessarily.

You can come up with fun conversations about your interests. If a common issue comes up, it can lead the conversation further into the “interesting” territory. She would probably start asking you questions once she discovers a common ground.

#2 Spend time with her

Ask yourself— “Why would she ask me questions?”. Think about what questions you want her to ask. She needs to find you interesting to ask you questions. Spending more time with her is the best and proven way to arrest her attention.

Spend more time with her. Take her to her or your favorite place. If you stay in a city, there will be a lot of options to visit.

You can look for a quaint café or a rooftop restaurant with a great view. The place you choose should be ideal to have a deep conversation about your lives. She should get to know about your tastes and interests through your choice of place to spend time with her.

If you are more of a homebound person, you can arrange an elaborate date right inside your apartment. You can invite her to spend the day with you. If you are already staying with her, take a day off your work and arrange for the date while she is at work.

#3 Ask her about her life (her childhood, her family, etc.)

She doesn’t talk much. She doesn’t ask you questions either. You can attempt to know her better, on the sly.  

Ask her about her family her childhood days and observe if she fondly talks about them or not. Try to find out a topic she is comfortable with.

If you show some interest in her life, she would like to know more about you in return. She doesn’t know what to ask or where to start.

You should lead the way. She probably isn’t good with conversations, and there is nothing to worry about it. Talking about things she loves will help her open up to you and take an interest in your life.

#4 Ask her directly why she won’t ask questions

She isn’t asking you questions, and there are reasons for that.  If you are not being able to figure out the reason, talk to her directly about it.  Your approach should be polite in this case. You cannot afford to annoy her by bombarding her with mindless questions.

Ask her— “Do you think I’m interesting?” and observe what she replies to that. If she answers with positivity, ask her what more she wants to know about you.

#5 Ask if she is mad at you

When she won’t ask you questions or won’t talk to you, there are times when you can’t figure out if she is mad at you or not. It is better to ask her directly in situations like this. 

She might say things like— “Why won’t you say if I’m mad at you or not?” You need to answer that question with honesty.

Otherwise, things can take a nasty turn, and you guys can end up in an ugly fight over a possibly minor issue.

#6 Frame questions about yourself and ask her to answer them

If getting her to ask you questions about your life organically seems impossible, you can always frame questions about yourself for her to answer.  

This would make an interesting conversation. Ask her things like— “What’s my favorite color?” or “What’s my favorite movie?” See if she is being able to come up with correct answers. Such unusual conversations can make her ask you questions in turn.

#7 Try to observe her (like she observes you)

If you can’t get her to ask questions, try to step into her shoes for a change. You like to talk and engage in conversations.

But this one time, try to be a quiet observer like her.  Keen observation helps you understand a person or a situation better. It will help you see the real person that you call your girlfriend. See what you can uncover with the newfound silence.

Watching you this quiet for the first time ever can turn her to ask questions. You could face questions like— “Why are you so awfully quiet?” or “What happened to the talkative man I knew?” If she doesn’t ask you questions independently, this sudden quietness will surely make her ask questions.

#8 Ask why she isn’t interested in you anymore

If she doesn’t seem interested in you anymore, ask her the reason. Ask her why she wouldn’t ask you questions about your life anymore.

Of course, you deserve to know what went wrong in the relationship, but the question from you should be polite.

You should not be judgmental in your approach. Your anger should be kept aside for times that require it the most. Instead, you can try to understand why she has lost all interest in a relationship that was once too cute to be true.

If you have done something to hurt her and you know that, try to make immediate amends by apologizing to her unconditionally.  Don’t counter-accuse her with things she isn’t guilty of, just to satisfy your ego.

However, if you strongly feel a hint of dishonesty in her behavior, try to gather proof and then confront her with it.  If you don’t want to be with her anymore, be clear about your decision.

Summing up

Asking questions is an intricate part of conversations between humans. Questions arise when a person is keenly interested in something they don’t know much about.  

A romantic relationship thrives on knowing each other a little better every day. Asking each other relevant questions is one of the proven ways to do that. However, if a person chooses to stay put on the myriad questions, it’s better to respect that decision.

Look at the bright side. Your girlfriend already knows a lot about you, even without asking you about things. She knows you better without the answers you could have provided. She is that into you! Isn’t that great?
