Romance-boosting questions (11–20)
What’s the number one thing you hate someone doing on a date?
A date is a special, fun time for two people.
Among the things that can ruin a date most, disagreements that split opinions can really kill the mood.
Everyone has their own turn-offs during such a special time—differences in sense of money, bad manners, talking only about oneself, constantly fiddling with a phone, poor hygiene, and so on.
The moment you feel a lack of consideration for yourself or your partner, that time can instantly turn into something boring.
Ideally, both people should come away wanting to meet again.
Let’s talk things through so you can spend an enjoyable time together with mutual consideration.
If you were to have a partner, what age gap would be acceptable?
The answer varies from person to person! Here are some ideas about how much of an age gap is okay for a romantic partner.
Have you ever thought about the age difference between you and your partner? This time, let’s talk about that very topic.
When we say age difference, the discussion can easily expand: how many years younger would be okay? How many years older? It might also be a good chance to think about how you would answer if someone asked you this question yourself.
When you first meet someone of the opposite sex, where do your eyes go?
First impressions are an important point, aren’t they? When you meet someone of the opposite sex for the first time, where do your eyes go? Hairstyle, clothing, facial expression, shoes, nails—what you notice varies from person to person.
Some might even say they don’t pay attention to anything in particular.
On the other hand, you might discover something new by realizing, “Oh, that’s what people look at.” The parts you notice in a first impression are often the things you’re conscious about in yourself, too.
If you can also talk about why you care about those aspects, the conversation might go even deeper.
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)
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.
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 would you choose: ramen from a popular restaurant that you can only eat once a year, or cup ramen that you can eat every day?
Compared to ramen you eat at a restaurant, cup noodles tend to have a plain, unremarkable image.
With that in mind, here’s a question: would you rather be able to eat ramen from a popular shop only once a year, or be able to eat ramen whenever you like but only cup noodles? Whether you’d choose carefully crafted shop ramen even with limited chances, or prefer ramen you can eat anytime even if it’s called ordinary, it really shows how people relate to ramen.
For those who actually prefer cup noodles, this question might feel like heaven.
