This or that is a fun game that can be played with friends at the parties or with your date. Sometimes when you meet someone and start dating, it feels like you’ve known each other all your life, other times you might have to get to know the person the old way by asking questions. In this article, we have listed over 500 this or that questions.
Even if you feel like you’ve known each other all your life, there still maybe questions in which you would like to make sure you know the correct answer to. No matter how long you’ve been dating, these will help you get a better understanding of what the person really thinks and wants.
We have compiled a list of questions here that can be used in several ways.
First, if it’s just the two of you then you can ask these questions as a way to get to know each other even better and just spend time together without spending a ton of money going to movies or dinner. You can go for a cup of coffee and ask these questions.
Second, you can also use these questions with a group of friends to see just how well you know your friends. With friends, it can be done with just two or a group. If it is just two of you, think about the question and how you would answer, then ask the question and if their answer doesn’t match yours, they can ask a question. With a group, you can use an index card and either a coin or a piece of paper that will fit under the index card that has different colors on each side. After you decide what you think their answer will be, place the coin heads up if their answer will fit and tails down if it isn’t what you thought it would be. The paper with different color on each side works the same. Again if the answer doesn’t match your answer, switch up who asks the questions and continue on.
So now that you understand how this works, here is the list of questions we come up with. Also know that you don’t have to play the entire list at once. You can play this several different times until you get through it.
