Tips to Get the Most Out Of These Questions
Having a hammer doesn’t mean you know how to build a house. Yes, we know these are just questions and don’t really need instructions. That said, we want to give a few really helpful tips to help you get the most out of these would you rather questions with your partner.
- Know what your goal is. – Are you just looking to have fun or pass the time on a road trip, or are you looking to connect with your partner? Figure out what the goal is and use that to shape how you approach the questions. If you’re just looking to pass the time, ask and answer however you want. But if you’re looking to go deeper, follow some of our other tips. Also, your goal can be both to have fun/pass the time AND connect with your partner through these would you rather questions.
- Don’t always read deeply into every answer. – Just because an answer surprises you, don’t read too deep into what it could mean. If you think it could mean something more than what’s on the surface, ask! Don’t ever just assume that because they picked one food over the other that they hate the other food (just as a corny example).
- The real value is in the follow on conversations. – Remember when we suggested asking questions about what their answers mean? This is the most fun and effective part of this relationship exercise! This is where you start to learn more about your partner and their thought process behind their answers.
