How to use these
One question a day works better than twenty on a date night. It gives you both something small to look forward to, and a reason to talk on days when nothing much happened.
Answer separately first, then compare. It is more fun when neither of you can copy the other. In DuoFrame the daily question works this way: your answer stays hidden until your person has answered too.
Easy ones for busy days
Quick to answer, and often a photo is the best answer.
