Questions people ask
What do couples talk about when they run out of things to say?
Usually it isn't a lack of topics, it's the same three on repeat: work, logistics, what to eat. Open questions break the loop: the worst advice you followed for too long, a small habit of theirs you secretly love, what you spend money on but would never justify out loud.
Are these good for a date night or a long drive?
Yes. They need no setup and no score, so they work over dinner, in the car with the passenger reading, or on a walk. The player here deals ten at a time, and the full list of 25 sits right below it.
What makes a good conversation starter for a couple?
It's open, specific and a little personal: it can't be answered with yes or no, it points at a real memory or opinion, and it gives your partner something to ask back. All 25 here are written that way, at a medium depth.
