Romance-boosting questions (11–20)
Which manga or anime character would you like to try going on a date with?
Many people have likely encountered manga and anime, and some may even have had the experience of admiring certain characters.
How about asking people which manga or anime character they would choose to go on a date with—and why? Since this prompts them to consider the character’s appeal, it might reveal a different perspective from simply talking about their favorite works.
Whether it’s admiration, ease of being around them, or something else, the reasons behind their choices may vary from person to person.
What kind of house would you like when you get married?
Talking about what kind of home you’d like after getting married sounds like the kind of romantic conversation that would make you excited just imagining life after marriage.
A home is truly one of the biggest purchases in life.
Your image of it will change depending on what you prioritize—location, size, safety, child-rearing, design, and so on.
Your values shaped by the environment you grew up in will also be important points.
Discussing the home you envision for the future will be a really fun time to get to know each other better.
If you also talk about the points you’re particular about, the conversation will get even more lively!
Ultimate Choices (1–10)
If you find a hair in your food, do you ignore it or tell the staff?
A hair in the food: what makes this issue tricky is whether the hair really belongs to the cook or staff.
In an extreme case, if all the employees have short hair, then it wouldn’t be the restaurant’s hair… Some people would rather just pay and leave without eating than stress over something like that.
I’m more of the “don’t say anything” type.
I think it’s an interesting question because the way people handle it varies a lot depending on their background—athletic types, rational types, wealthy people, and so on.
Which is better to live in, the city or the countryside?
It’s a topic that naturally gets conversations going, because everyone’s imagined which one they’d prefer.
Some people long for the city, with convenience stores and arcades nearby, while others want to live slowly in the countryside, surrounded by nature with mountains and rivers close at hand.
The fun part is how opinions split.
Listening to both sides makes you think, “Oh, that’s true!” and notice new perspectives.
You’ll also get honest, funny comments like, “Riding crowded trains every day in the city? No thanks,” or “There’s no way I can handle bugs in the countryside!” Before you know it, the discussion is in full swing.
It’s a perfect talk theme for lively chats with friends.
Which one could you tolerate: being bad at sports or having a poor sense of direction?
Some of you probably weren’t good at PE back in school.
These days, I hear some companies even hold field days or sports tournaments, so maybe there are more chances to be active even as adults.
Not great news for the unathletic, right? As for people with a poor sense of direction, is the big problem that they can’t even make it to a client’s office when out on sales calls? Even with GPS or maps, people who are directionally challenged often can’t use them well.
I’ve often heard that people who keep rotating the map as they look at it are the ones with no sense of direction.
Being bad at sports can almost seem kind of cute on its own, don’t you think? And in this highly digital age, having a poor sense of direction feels oddly charming to me! What do you think?
Which would you rather go to, the past or the future?
A lively conversation topic where you choose which way you’d travel in time.
Some people want to meet their past selves to prevent mistakes, while others want to be amazed by the future world—everyone’s thoughts and reasons are unique, making for fun twists and turns.
Just imagining things like “I’d go back to memorize the answers to a test” or “I’d go to the future to meet robots” is part of the charm.
You’ll hear both serious and silly answers, and the laughs keep the conversation flowing.
There’s no right answer either way, so personal values and preferences naturally come out, and the discussion just keeps expanding.
With imagination and a dash of wishful thinking, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser of a topic.
Which would you choose: a guaranteed 10 million, or a 1-in-2 chance at 1 billion?
There’s a similar money question: “Would you rather get 100,000 yen today, or 110,000 yen a year from now?” If you’re not strapped for cash, the 110,000 yen in a year seems fine…
But if we’re talking 10 million yen or 100 million yen, that really makes you think.
With 10 million yen, you could probably buy the things you want for the time being, and with 100 million yen, you could live on 5 million yen a year and take it easy for 20 years.
Hmm, both are hard to pass up.
This quirky question might even make a good topic for a debate in school or at work!
