It’s Valentine’s Day – possibly the most romantic, playful day for singles. The focus is on having fun with your partner and discovering more about each other. Happy couples talk about their childhoods, laugh at inside jokes, share feelings and more.
But sometimes, the conversation comes to a halt. If you really want to know your Valentine, here is a playful way forward. In fact, there are 39 ways to get the conversation going. Check them out and let us know if you have more questions that a couple could ask to get to know each other better!
Try these for starters.
– “If someone handed you a magic lamp and gave you three wishes, what would they be?”
– “If you won the lottery, what are the first three things you would do and which are the five things you’ve been most longing for, that you would buy?”
And, here are 36 more. Share the list with your Valentine so that both of you can take part in this fun game!
