- Add your own answer first: Share what you would do to spark his interest. It takes the pressure off him.
- Tease him playfully: If he gives a boring answer, poke gentle fun at him. Say something like, “Come on, give me more than that!”
- Switch the category: If deep questions make him quiet, switch to funny or survival scenarios.
- Let it go: If he is genuinely tired, save the questions for another day. Forced conversations are never fun.

Generic questions are great, but tailored ones are even better. You can easily tweak these prompts to fit your inside jokes.
