Because sometimes, the most healing mirror is someone who loves you deeply. Hi beautiful, If you’ve ever wondered how your partner really sees you, you’re so not alone. It’s one thing to hear “I love you,” and it’s another to explore all the little details behind that love the quirks they adore, the thoughts they’ve never said out loud, the ways they get you better than anyone else.
This post is for those of us who want to go deeper not just in love, but in self-awareness. Because when someone sees you with soft eyes and steady hands, their perspective can help you feel more whole, more affirmed, and more known.
These 100 questions aren’t your typical “what’s my favorite color” type of thing. These are raw, thoughtful, unexpected, sometimes playful questions to ask your lover about you. They’ll help you learn how you show up in your relationship, what makes you magnetic to them, and even where your blind spots are.
So light a candle, pour some tea (or wine), and get cozy with your favorite person. It’s time to dive in. Find more conversation starters here.
