FAQ

What are good questions to ask your boyfriend to see if he knows you?

The best questions mix easy favorites (food, drink, movie) with a few emotional ones (what makes me feel loved, what am I insecure about) and one funny one. That mix is what makes the score feel real.

How many questions should the quiz have?

Six to ten is the sweet spot. Long enough to feel like a real test, short enough that he'll actually finish it.

Can I use these for my husband, fiancé, or a new boyfriend?

Yes — the list works for any partner. For a new relationship, lean on favorites and habits. For a long-term partner, the personality and future questions are where the real reveal happens.
