Ask Him about His Favorite…
This sort of question is too primitive and predictable unless you make a slight change and make it more unique and interesting. Instead of asking about your guy’s favorite color or movie, ask what his favorite quote or poem is. His family’s favorite destination is another alternative.

Asking for His Opinion and Advice
No serious problems. Real issues should not be discussed with the guy you like. You need to think of something relaxed and simple. His advice should be a suggestion rather than a though-out plan. Ask him what book you should read on the weekend or where in town you can find a good coffee shop.
