Questions people ask

What are good would you rather questions to ask your girlfriend?

The best ones teach you something about her you can act on: how she wants to be comforted, which weekends she'd relive, who she wants you close to. Start with a few light ones, move to how she likes to be loved, and finish with the future round. Ask the follow-up every time her answer surprises you.

What are 21 questions to ask your girlfriend?

21 Questions is a game where you take turns asking each other questions until you've asked 21. You can play it with would you rather: pick 21 dilemmas from this page, take turns reading them, and both answer every one. The first ten on this page plus the eleven in the love and future rounds make a full game.

Are would you rather questions good for a new relationship?

Yes, as long as you pick the right ones. Early on, stick to the start-here and weekends rounds, which are fun and low pressure. Save the future round until you've talked about where things are going. If a dilemma doesn't fit your stage yet, skip it; nobody has to answer a question about moving in on the third date.
