How many questions are enough for one date?

Ten to twelve is plenty. A card set is built to fill an evening without feeling like a checklist.

Does the app work for video dates?

Yes – one of you reads the questions from the screen and you both answer as usual.

Are the questions the same every time?

Each set has its own questions, and you can mix sets, so a second date doesn't repeat the first.

Start light, then go deeper

Openers should be easy to answer: a favourite place, a small habit, the best thing about the week. Once you're both talking, questions about family, values or fears stop feeling intrusive.

That's exactly the order the card sets follow, so you don't have to judge the moment yourself.

Examples that always work

What did you want to be as a child? What's something you changed your mind about? What does a perfect Sunday look like? Which compliment do you remember?

Each of them invites a story instead of a single word – and stories are what make people feel close.

Questions to avoid on a first date

Anything that sounds like a test: salary, ex-partners, long-term plans. Save them for later card sets, when you already know how the other person talks about themselves.
