by Jamie Kravitz

So you're hooking up with someone on the reg, and you feel so connected to them physically. But what if you want to take your relationship to the next level? Whether you're interested in learning more about them, you want to make your next hookup even more enjoyable, or you're curious about whether a romantic relationship is in the cards, these 21 questions to ask your hookup will help you get where you want to go. These questions are split into sections, depending on what you're trying to achieve.

Taking a relationship to the next level — whether it's emotionally, physically, or both — requires opening up and being honest with one another. When asking your hookup these kinds of personal questions, you should encourage them to ask you, too. Even better, you can volunteer the information on your own to let them know you're serious. As long as you're both actively asking and responding, the conversation can remain comfortable and stress-free. You can also work to maintain a low-pressure environment by starting the talk over text, or having a casual discussion while cuddling on the couch.

Here are 21 questions to pose to your current hookup, based on the direction you'd like to see your relationship go in.
