Questions to ask your best friend work differently than questions for people you're still getting to know — because with a best friend, the depth is already there. You're not trying to impress or ease in gently. You can go straight to the real stuff. These 40 questions are designed for exactly that: conversations that only work because you already trust each other, and that make the friendship stronger for having had them.
