They say never to discuss religion or politics in polite company. Beyond that and keeping in mind both style and content, I would avoid questions such as these, as they violate all the laws of good conversation:

"I don't enjoy sex or sports, so would you rather spend today knitting a blanket or simply crocheting a shawl?"

"You don’t like beer do you? Because in our family we are only going to drink water.”

"How much are you going to spend on my engagement ring?"

"I have an excessively long menstrual cycle and refuse to take Motrin. Is this a problem?"
