Meeting someone new and keeping up with them can sometimes be challenging. Although there is this desire to want to know them better—the desire to understand how similar or how different from you they are, you may feel confused about what questions to pose because you do not want to hit a nerve.
Even after years of being in a relationship with your partner, there may be times when you’re completely blank, and you need cues to initiate a conversation. Luckily, various games have emerged over the years to ease the process, including 21 questions, Would you rather, Never have I ever, Truth or dare, and This or That.
This or That is a fun and interactive game that requires players to choose either option given but not both. While neither of the options might be particularly appealing, one must be chosen. Players cannot respond by saying “both” or “none.”
This or That is a great conversation starter and a unique way to engage players and make them think about the subject. The questions can sometimes be amusing, challenging, easy, ridiculous, profound, intense, silly, or prosaic.
More importantly, this game helps to identify people’s preferences, likes, and dislikes. The exciting part is that you don’t have to physically be in the presence of other players. It can be played virtually, remotely, and across all ages.
Here, we’ve listed 80 This or That questions to break the ice when getting to know your friends, romantic partner, or even a group of random people.

Conclusion
Whether you’re hosting a house party or something romantic between you and your partner, This or That is definitely a good choice.
If you are meeting a person or group for the first time, ask simple and funny questions. However, asking hard questions would be ideal if you are playing the game with your partner and want to know more about their interests, lifestyle, or personality. When playing with longtime friends, you can guess their answer before they say it just to see how much you know them.
If your partner or friend hesitates to answer a question, don’t push them by repeating it or rephrasing it in a different yet similar way. The subject could be sensitive or highly personal for them. Instead, skip the question entirely and ask a different question.
You can have a dialogue with your partner if any topic interests you both, but do not argue or debate and spoil the mood. Keep this in mind when asking or answering questions.
Remember, the idea of This or That is to have an enjoyable time, so keep the conversation light and do not dwell on questions that elicit odd vibes. Enjoy!
