What to Ask Your Girlfriend When You Want a Real Answer
"Questions to ask your girlfriend" is the mirror of the lists written for her to ask you. Most of them are either trivia or a trap. She can tell the difference.
Good questions are specific, easy to decline, and about her life — not a quiz she has to pass to prove she is into you.
Use the fun set out loud. Use the deep and future sets in the app, where you both answer before either of you reacts.

- Pick the mood first. Fun questions in the car. Deep questions when you have time and you are not already annoyed.
- Ask one. A list of twenty in a row feels like homework. One good answer is the point.
- Do not grade it. If you only wanted a certain answer, it was not a question.
- Answer yours too. Trade. The conversation dies when only one person is being studied.
- Leave the future questions for a calm night. Kids, money, and where you live are not drive-thru topics.
A Good Ask vs. a Test
Good to go
- You are curious, not collecting evidence
- She can pass or answer later
- You share your answer too
- You remember what she said next week
Skip or slow down
- Asking to catch a contradiction
- Bringing up an ex as the setup
- Doing it in front of friends
- Treating a maybe as a no

If This Is for a Video
Film the fun category. Leave deep and future questions off camera. A girlfriend answering "do you want kids?" for views is not content, it is a leak.
If the clip does well, the bio link should open the app, where the same question can be answered privately by both of you.
