How Well Do You Know Me? 40 Fun Questions that Bring Couples Closer!

Instead of asking, “how well do you know me?” ask questions to get to know each other better. There is always more to learn.

Being a couple means taking the time to get to know each other better. It doesn’t have to be a whole lesson plan about the ins and outs of dating. You can simply learn from each other as the relationship progresses.

Why is it important?

As time goes on, you’ll discover your partner’s good parts as well as the bad. You’ll notice the little things that make them happy and the big things that make them sad. When you start to put all these together, you realize that the person you love is just human— that’s what makes them so special.

They may have their flaws, but they also have their stellar points. And because you love them, none of it matters— because you only see the person you’ve come to know and love.

As time continues, you either part ways or grow old together, all while still learning new things every day. Isn’t that the best part about being with someone you love? You never run out of new things to learn about them. [Read: 36 random funny questions for flirty guys and girls]

How and when can you ask these things?

You can look through this list of questions anytime you like and see if an opportunity comes up to bring up the subject. You can even set a time for you and your partner to go on a date night, specifically designated for asking such questions.

Don’t forget to have fun while you’re doing this. Don’t be disappointed if your partner doesn’t know all of their answers because the point of these questions is for you to learn more about one another. If they don’t know an answer, it lets you have a conversation about it.

Just appreciate the fact that you’re learning even more about your partner. And remember: exercises and conversations like these make relationships better because they build connection and intimacy. They also allow you to open up more than you’ve ever opened up in the past.

That is why you should approach this with an open mind and an eager sense of learning about your partner. With this mindset, you will be greatly rewarded with a new understanding of and appreciation for your loved one. [Read: 17 really funny questions to get to know your partner better]

Questions about yourself

These questions are designed to let your partner know about the little things that you’d like them to notice. It can also be about your deepest desires and how you approach things in life.

Remember, this is not a test. You’re not going to punish your partner for not knowing an answer.

Whether you’ve talked about these subjects or not, you can’t assume your partner will remember or know everything about you. You are both constantly changing and will always have more to learn.

Use these questions as a stepping stone to a new stage of your relationship, not a battle to the end. That serves no purpose in relationships where you’re supposed to discover the ins and outs of the person you’re with. You just have to ride it out and enjoy every little bit of the person you love.
