FAQ

  • How does this conversation work?

    Similar to talking to someone on the phone, you'll hear us ask each question without knowing what it will be ahead of time (closed captions are available if needed, but are turned off by default to more closely mimic a phone conversation). After the question is asked, you'll see a visual timer that will give you a sense of how long you've been talking for. When you're ready, you can click through to the next question and repeat the process.

  • Who will be asking me the questions?

    The questions will be asked by two real human parents: Melissa and Nick.

  • How long will it take?

    This conversation includes 10 questions, so assuming an average response length of a minute or two, you'll be in and out in less than half an hour.

  • What if I want to repeat the conversation?

    If you want another chance at the same questions, this conversation can be repeated as many times as you want.

  • What makes this practice conversation unique?

    While there are many places you can get written advice on how to make a good impression on your partner's parents, this practice conversation actually lets you practice, using the top ten questions selected from a database of thousands of questions.
