Whether you are meeting someone for your third date or you have been married for 50 years, it can be helpful to have new date night conversation ideas.

I find that sometimes my husband and I can get into conversation “ruts”.

We find ourselves talking about the same things constantly or sitting in silence.

If you have found yourself in the same situation, consider jotting down a couple these for your next date night!

With over 100 question suggestions below, there’s sure to be at least one new question you have never thought to ask.

These questions will help keep the conversation rolling and hopefully lead you to deeper, more meaningful conversation!

The categories are separated by how long you have been together, but I recommend reading through all of the sections.
