Frequently asked questions
When is a good time for these questions?
Date night, long drives, slow Sunday mornings — anywhere you're relaxed and not staring at separate screens. Two or three good questions beat all forty-five in one sitting.
What if a question feels too heavy?
Skip it, no ceremony. The list is a menu, not a checklist. Come back to it another day or never — the point is connection, not completion.
Is there a version where we compare answers?
Yes — our couples compatibility test gives you both the same 15 playful questions separately, then shows your match percentage and where you differ.
