FAQ: get to know you questions for couples
How are these different from questions to ask your boyfriend?
Boyfriend lists often skew flirty and early-dating. This guide covers new couples and long-term partners — including "how have we changed" prompts.
Can we use these over text?
Yes — send one question per day. Or open a text game when you want interaction, not paragraphs.
What if a question feels too heavy?
Skip it. The goal is connection, not confession under pressure.
