This or That Questions for Couples

Quick picks on dates, travel, and home life. Guess your partner's answer, then see if you matched.

Shared Playlist or Separate Playlists?

These 69 this or that questions for couples make an easy date night game. Movie night or dinner out. Beach vacation or city trip. Big wedding or small ceremony. Make breakfast together or sleep in. Each pair is quick, but together they paint a surprisingly detailed picture of what you both want, from your ideal Saturday to your dream vacation.

Play it as a matching game: both partners pick at the same time and count how many answers line up. New couples use it to learn the basics, while longtime partners are often surprised by an answer or two. Everything is sweet and clean, so it also works on a double date or at a couples' game night with friends.

How to play

  1. Both partners look at the same pair.
  2. On three, say your answer out loud together.
  3. Score a point every time you match.
  4. Check how other couples voted, then go to the next pair.

Questions people ask

Is this good for a first date?

It can be. The pairs are light and easy to answer, which takes the pressure off a first conversation. You'll quickly learn things like travel style and food preferences, and a mismatch is usually more funny than awkward.

How do we turn this into a game?

Answer each pair at the same time and count your matches. Twenty pairs make a good round. You can also try guessing your partner's answer before they give it, which is a fun way to test how well you know each other.

Are the couples questions clean?

Yes, they're sweet and PG. Topics include dates, travel, food, home life, and future plans. There's nothing intimate here, so you can comfortably play in front of friends or family.
