Questions people ask
What are some fun questions for couples?
Start light: ask about each other's go-to karaoke song, the worst haircut you've ever had, or what your life would be called if it were a sitcom. Fun questions work best when they turn into stories, so follow up on anything that makes you both laugh.
What are good deep questions to ask your partner?
Ask about feelings and experiences rather than facts, like 'When do you feel most loved by me?' or 'What's a memory you wish you could relive?' Pick a calm moment, ask one question at a time and listen more than you talk.
What questions should I ask my boyfriend or girlfriend?
Mix sweet and playful. Ask about first impressions, favorite memories together and plans you're excited about. Our boyfriend and girlfriend lists have 30 ideas each, and both work for any partner.
How does the question card deck work?
Choose a category, tap to draw a random question and take turns answering. You can copy any question to text it to your partner. Nothing is saved, and you don't need an account.
Do these questions to ask your partner work for long-distance couples?
Yes. Send a question before a call or over text so you both have time to think, then talk it through together. The deep and future categories are especially good when you're apart.
About these couples questions
Whether you've been together three weeks or thirty years, it's easy to fall into the same few conversations. These 210 couples questions are here to shake that up. They're sorted into seven categories, from silly would-you-rathers to deep questions for the nights you want to really talk, so you can pick the mood before you start.
Use the card deck at the top of the page to draw a random question, or scroll through the full lists and pick the ones that catch your eye. There are no rules. Answer the same question together, take turns, or make it a game by guessing each other's answer first. If a question doesn't fit, skip it. If an answer surprises you, ask a follow-up. That's usually where the best conversations start.
The boyfriend and girlfriend lists work for any couple, so mix and match. You don't need to sign up.
