We do that but sit next to each other and you know, talk
Why talk when you both are already looking at your phones?
I really try to make my relationship such that I would never have to directly interact with my partner, but there's still some work to be done 😔
I suggest a zoom call with your partner to sort it out (cameras off, of course)
I mean, why waste the limited time I have a day with my SO by scrolling together through an endless list of movies and shows. Both of us have the attention span of a beagle, so sporadically swiping through a list during the workday would actually be preferable.
For me it wouldn't be about avoiding conflict, just a way to remember something that I would otherwise forget as soon as we started looking for something to watch.
See, my wife and I will go back and forth, checking various streaming services and vetoing each other's picks for the full duration of movie night.
Now when she asks what I want to watch, my first reply is always, "Literally anything except the Netflix menu."
We discuss the options and often end up talking about something else. So even scrolling through options is nice together time. Unless the actual goal was to see a movie, then that method isn't that great lol
And this why I've come to enjoy going to movies alone. Except for the being married part.
What the actual fuck?
Where is my pitchfork?
Also this app literally exists anyway, I'm pretty sure it even existed when this was posted.
Do you know what it's called?
There's a few I'm going to go with handshake that someone posted further down the one I remember was called something like movieflix
No idea why you'd be downvoted for that but thanks!
Edit... Either I'm finding the wrong apps or neither of those ones do the thing.
I searched movie tinder, there's matched, movie match, movie tinder for Plex, etc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.handshake.app
2.2 stars. Woof
...earlier today? Yeah, I'm not really surprised to learn it wasn't developed and published in less than a work day.
Lol it was originally posted in 2020
I think a lot of us have come up with this amazing new idea only to realize that it already exists
I think there a talk app you can use to talk with your partner.
Do they have gamified aspects and perhaps a lootbox style system? "You had a 7 day streak in talking to your significant other. Here's two relationship tokens"
If you say the right things, you get to loot your partners box.
Doesn't sound very replayable tbh
Things can appear in the box from time to time
Jolly Ranchers?
Ugh maybe
We do that but it takes FOREVER and we have limited time because we have kids and we're so tired. I'd love to have this app to use during the week in breaks from work for a movie after work.
