Want to get to know your partner better? Looking for some fun ways to pass time together? Then you’ve come to the right place! Here’s 125+ this or that questions for couples. The best this or that couple questions to discover exactly how well you know each other – and learn something new!
What Are This Or That Questions?
So before we jump in with our this or that questions for couples, let’s just take a step back…
I mean, what are this or that questions? Never heard of them before? Well, really, they’re quite simple.
They’re just short, snappy questions, where one person is given the choice of two options and they have to pick which they prefer, or would choose in that situation.
They are also often commonly referred to as “would you rather questions”, only would you rather questions tend to be longer and more about specific – wild and crazy – scenarios!
Why Are These So Good?
This or That Questions are great for couples as they create conversation.
They’re fun, light, but actually genuinely gets you getting to know your partner better… no matter how long you’ve been together!
You can ask them when you’re lounging around, ask them when you’re all snuggled up, and just take it in turns.
- Go for fast-paced – where you’re given 10 seconds to pick your answer and discuss after.
- Or, go slow-paced, in a more relaxed environment, where you discuss why you chose what.
Whatever you prefer – depending on what you’re playing it for and what kind of atmosphere you want to create!
This Or That Questions For Couples
For our this or that couple questions, we’re going to mix up different topics and categories for a nice mix. Simply read through the questions, one by one.
Want to turn it into more of a game?
Then why not grab a whiteboard and guess what you think the other person will say?
You can give 1 point for every question you guess right then tally it up then swap it around.
Alternatively you can – again – use that whiteboard, but both answer the questions together, then turn them around to do a “big reveal” after each one, seeing where your similarities or differences lie.
If you want to add in some forfeits, choose from one of our (epic!) dares for couples – for questions that are guessed incorrectly.
Or, turn it into a couples drinking game in a similar way. Uh huh, there’s plenty you can do!
So let’s give it a go…
