Starting a new relationship and want to dig down deep and really get to know someone? We have just the idea for you.
Plan a date night in. Cook dinner together, open a bottle of wine, and then move to the couch. It’s time for a game- asking questions to really get to know them. Best easy recipes.
Each person grabs a pen and some cut up pieces of paper. Write some questions down that you want to know about the person you are dating. Crinkle them up and throw them in a hat or bowl. Then take turns grabbing 1 question out then each person has to answer that question. The more you share, the more they will feel comfortable sharing. It’s important to be vulnerable, because that strengthens relationships.
