Thinking in Public
Six questions for when date night goes quiet. The best one: why do you think I would get arrested?
They're for a couple who's been together long enough that date night can go quiet — you've covered the day, the logistics, the errands, and now you're just eating and you want to avoid looking at your phone together.
No. 02 always gets the best answer
The arrested one can be messy. The answer tells you exactly what your partner actually thinks of you — which could be funnier and more accurate than you'd guess.
Then save the last one for later. "Which moment sums us up" is the kind of question that turns into its own conversation for the rest of the night.
I keep three of these lists: one for dates, one for meeting people, one for couples who've been together a while. Same idea each time — ask the real thing.
