50 dilemmas, each with a follow-up · Updated November 12, 2026
Most lists for boyfriends lean on random party questions. These are about him and you: his habits, how you two date and fight, the people around you, and where you're headed. Start with the ten-card round, then pick a section. Each dilemma has a follow-up, because the reason behind his pick is the good part.
- Read both options out loud, then let him pick before you say yours.
- Ask the follow-up whenever his answer surprises you. That's where the real conversation is.
- Either of you can pass once per section, no explanation needed.

Questions people ask
What are good would you rather questions to ask your boyfriend?
The ones that land are about the two of you: whose family gets the holidays, who plans dates, how you make up after a fight, where you'd live. Random party questions get a laugh and then the conversation stops. Mix a few light ones to warm up, then move to the future round once you're both relaxed, and ask why after every pick.
What are "would you still love me if" questions?
They're a sibling game. One partner asks a silly or awkward hypothetical, like "would you still love me if I only spoke in movie quotes?", and the other answers. They're about reassurance and laughs, while would you rather is about choosing. Couples often play a few of each: three would you rathers, then one would you still love me if.
What is the hardest would you rather question to ask your boyfriend?
The hardest ones make him choose between two things he cares about, like living near his family or near yours, or a big wedding against eloping. They're hard because both answers are reasonable. Ask them in person when you have time to talk, and listen to his reason before you share yours.
