Games to Play With Your Girlfriend

The hardest part of spending time together is usually getting started. You both want to connect, but you end up scrolling on separate phones because nobody wants to be the one to suggest something. A game removes that friction. There is a clear thing to do, the rules take five seconds, and you are talking before you realize it.

This or That is the easiest on-ramp because every answer is one word and every answer leads somewhere. She picks beach over mountains, and now you know why, and now you are planning a trip you never planned. Would You Rather does the same thing with a little more depth, and the flirty question games are there for when you want the night to get a bit more personal.

If you are long distance, these are even more useful. A video call can go quiet fast when you have already covered how the day went. Having a game open in another tab gives the call a backbone, so you are reacting and laughing instead of running out of things to say.
