No one enjoys a dry conversation, especially when you’re on a date or trying to connect with someone special. But fear not, because there’s an easy solution to keep the conversation flowing: “would you rather” questions for couples.
Before diving in, keep in mind that anyone can experience conversational lulls, whether you’re on a first date, in a casual relationship, or have been with your partner for years. That’s why it’s helpful to have some simple games, deep questions, and conversation topics on hand to avoid defaulting to weather talk. “Would you rather” questions not only make things more fun, but they can also lead to in-depth discussions about topics like boundaries, sexual preferences, and family planning.
If you’ve never played the game, it’s simple. Take turns asking and answering each question aloud, and then explain your reasoning. Some questions may be touchier than others, so make it clear that it’s okay to skip anything that someone doesn’t want to talk about. The goal is to have fun and deepen your connection, not to bring up unresolved traumas.
To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of “would you rather” questions that are perfect for couples, whether you’re in a long-distance relationship or sitting next to each other on the couch. So cozy up, relax, and let the conversation flow!
