Have you ever been so nervous around your crush you couldn't speak properly?
Why people ask this
Relationship questions always land because the honest answer is rarely the one people rehearsed on the way over. Relationship questions cut deeper than people expect because the honest answer is rarely the one rehearsed — and this question rewards honesty. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
