Questions people ask
How do you play would you rather over text?
Send one dilemma, then wait for their pick before you reveal yours. Each of you adds one sentence about why. Send the follow-up if the answer is interesting, then let them send the next one. Three each makes a good round. Keep the options short so they fit in a single message and read well on a lock screen.
What are some short would you rather questions for couples?
Short ones work best when both options are concrete: "pizza every Friday or tacos every Tuesday", "a beach trip or a cabin trip", "me double texting or me leaving you on read". Every dilemma on this page is short enough to send as a single text, and the quick round at the top is the shortest.
Can you mix would you rather with 20 questions over text?
Yes. Agree on 20 dilemmas, take turns sending them, and both answer every one before moving on. Use the quick round for the first eight, the us round for the next eight, and finish with four late-night ones. It takes about the length of a commute, and it's easy to pause and pick up later.
