how to use them well

listen for the follow-up

Her answer usually contains the next question. 'Tell me more about that' works better than moving to card two.

match her depth

If she gives you a real answer, give her one back. Matching depth is what makes a question night feel close instead of awkward.

remember the answers

Bring an answer back a week later. 'You said you missed that bakery, so...' is the payoff for asking.

play this daily in Flamme

Flamme, the couples app, sends you both one question a day from a bank of 1500+. You answer privately, then see each other's answer, and a shared streak keeps the habit going.

good questions, answered

What are good questions to ask your girlfriend?

Start with love, then her past and your future: 'What is a small thing I do that makes you feel completely chosen?', 'What did you learn about love from watching your parents' marriage?', 'What do you think our life will look like five years from now?' The sections above sort them by mood.

What are cute questions to ask your girlfriend?

The fun and over-text sections are the lighter end: favorite memories of the two of you, small habits, hypotheticals. They work well as a mid-day message.

What should I ask a new girlfriend?

Keep it curious and low-pressure: what she loves about her life right now, what a perfect weekend looks like, what she is looking forward to. The new-girlfriend section is a short starter set.
