Ever pretended your partner is a taxi driver? Reddit user u/shgrizz2 shared their routine: “Without fail, if we’re in the car together coming back home, the passenger will describe to the driver where the house is as if we’re in a taxi. For example, ‘Just after the lamp post, before the red van, please,’ ‘After the blue car, okay,’ ‘Yes, that’s great, thanks.’ Every time.”

2. The Face-Licking Game – Yes, You Read That Right!

Okay, this one is a little… out there. u/sqkypants confessed, “GF and I randomly lick each other’s faces. Extra points for how prolonged and weird we can make it. Many giggles and awkward standoffs have occurred when we’re cuddling and suspect the other person is tempted to attack.” Who knew face-licking could be the ultimate relationship test?

3. Hand-Squeezing Battles – More Intense Than You’d Think!

6. Otter Obsession – Finding Stones for Each Other

Some people exchange love letters; others exchange… stones. For one couple, it’s all about finding a cute stone and slipping it into each other’s pockets. Reddit user u/LtZsRalph says, “We both love otters, and we try to find stones everywhere we go. We pick a favorite stone and place them in each other’s pocket. Or we pick a stone whenever we are without each other, and as we reunite, we hand out a little stone with the saying, ‘Found a cute stone for you.’” Adorable or just plain odd? You decide.

7. Talk-to-the-Cat Conversations – A New Language?

9. The Object-Kissing Game – How Weird Can You Get?

Here’s a wild one: one partner names a random object, and the other has to guess what a kiss from that object would feel like. Think “paper clip” or “cactus.” u/flamingochair explained, “We play a game where one of us closes our eyes and says an inanimate object, animal, or thing (such as a paper clip or termite), and the other person has to recreate what a kiss from that thing would feel like.”

10. The ‘Egg’ Game – Wrestling with a Twist

Reddit user u/zee_glass describes their unique game: “My wife and I created a game called Egg.

12. Bathroom Code – “I’m Gonna Think a Bit”
