Yes · No · Maybe: a couples game to talk without pressure

What the game changes in the conversation

Silence helps. A simple structure makes it easier to talk without feeling put on the spot.

You choose what you share and when you share it, so the conversation stays calmer.

Alone, each person responds — no talking while answering. Each response stays separate.
Only the shared spaces show up.
Questions about possibilities invite talk and leave room to pause. Hesitations become openings when shared gently.
Move as fast or slow as you want. There are no must-dos.

Each person's response remains private, which reduces fear of judgment.

Start gently, stay within your limits, and come back to the "maybes" another time if you want.

You sit on the couch. One by one, you answer privately. The next day, a couple of "maybe" choices show up on both sides.

Nothing is decided, but the conversation can start without pressure.

Could it be that nearly every attempt fails? What happens when hardly anything lines up? What seems like a setback is actually feedback. This helps fine-tune how fast or slow you move forward.
What if it feels awkward between us? It can feel awkward at first. If it does, pause and come back later. Going slowly usually makes it easier.
What If I Change My Mind? Change happens over time. Try again once it lines up with how you feel.

Couples looking to get closer might find this useful — no matter if they just met or have been together for years.

What matters most is pacing. Let the game open doors, but never force anything.
