About this site

questionstoaskyourgirlfriend.com is a hand-edited library of conversation prompts for someone in a relationship with a woman. It is not a listicle, it is not AI-generated, and it does not run display ads. This page explains why.


What we are

A small editorial publication, in the form of a website. We publish curated prompt sets organised by relationship stage, by emotional register, and by situation. The whole site is around 400 prompts across 14 prompt-set pages, plus three editorial pages (this one, the how-to-use page, and the 36 questions commentary). Each prompt is hand-edited and read aloud before publishing; the site exists because the search results in this category are dominated by listicles that read as written by committee, AI-assisted, or both, and we wanted the version we would actually want to read.

Who writes the prompts

The prompts are written and edited by the editorial team at Digital Signet, an independent publisher that runs a small portfolio of editorial reference sites in a few different categories. The relationship sites are the only category where we publish prompts at length; the other titles cover financial calculators, consumer comparisons, and category guides in fields where data, rather than voice, is the load-bearing part. We use a different writing register for the relationship work, by design.

The voice across the relationship cluster is consistent. The boyfriend mirror site at questionstoaskyourboyfriend.com uses the same author voice and the same architectural approach, with prompts hand-rewritten for asking a man rather than a woman. Earlier-stage doorways at questionstoaskonadate.com and questionstoaskyourcrush.com extend the cluster into pre-relationship territory. The same voice, calibrated for the right stage.

Why no ads

This category lives or dies on tone. The presence of a banner ad in the middle of an editorial passage about how to ask your partner about her family destroys the trust the editorial passage was building. We could run banners, and the per-pageview revenue from this category is genuinely low, but the trust cost outweighs the income. So we do not.

Why an app is coming

We are building a small companion app that holds the held-back depth: the longer prompt sets, paired mode (where both partners answer privately and then compare), shuffle-by-stage and shuffle-by-mood, and a scheduling layer that puts a single prompt in front of you on a Friday evening rather than asking you to remember which one to use.

The site stays free, ad-free, and the same. The app is the place where the depth lives, for the readers who want it. It is not yet shipped; when it is, you will see a quiet line of copy on the relevant pages, and a small footer link in this corner. No banner, no email gate, no forced install.

What the disclaimer is for

We are explicit, on every relevant page and in our footer, that we are not therapists. The prompts are conversation starters, not relationship advice. If your relationship needs professional support, please find a qualified couples counsellor; we list a few starting points on the hard-conversations page and on the after-a-fight page.

Editorial corrections

If you find a prompt that does not work for you, or a sentence that reads badly, or a piece of guidance that we have got wrong, the editorial team would like to know. The contact path is via Digital Signet at digitalsignet.com. We do not publish a comments section because the moderation cost is not justified at our scale, but we do read what comes in via the parent site.

Site mechanics

The site is statically generated. We use Google Analytics for aggregate traffic measurement (anonymised IP, no personal data collected). We do not collect email addresses, run pop-ups, or use third-party tracking beyond GA. The favicon and the site palette are bespoke; the typography is Fraunces and Source Serif 4 for the long-form, with Inter for navigation and labels. None of the design is shared with other sites in the portfolio; every site here is designed from scratch for its audience.
