TikTok’s viral ‘Sunrise or Sunset’ trend is the cutest relationship test
A new trend has gone viral on TikTok which sees women asking their partners whether they are a sunrise or a sunset.
It’s one of many relationship tests circling the social media app, but this might just be the most adorable one yet.
TikTok’s ‘Sunrise or Sunset’ trend
The TikTok trend involves asking your significant other one simple question, either via text or in real life: “Am I a sunrise or a sunset?”
Then, you see what your partner responds. It doesn’t really matter what they say, they are just supposed to send a cute response.
For example, one boyfriend said: “I would say sunrise because you brighten the world each morning.”

“You’re both because you’re what I get up for in the mornings and you’re the last thing I see before I go to bed,” another husband added.
A third partner wrote: “A sunrise because you wake up the day for me. You’re bright and cheery and you glow the day with your energy and love.”
It’s a cute relationship test
The trend is a simple relationship test to see how your partner responds. If they reply with an adorable message, they pass the test. Sunrise and sunset don’t have any code meanings and both can be the correct answer, it’s all about the description that comes afterwards.
While many are sending really sweet paragraphs that sum up how much they truly love their partner, others are failing the test. Some husbands and boyfriends are responding with “What does that mean?” or “I don’t know” – but that doesn’t mean they don’t love you.
People just have different ways of showing their love. The ones who are responding to the question with long paragraphs display their affection with words, while others may use gifts or actions. These are called love languages.
The five Love Languages
Marriage counselor Gary Chapman claimed there are five different ways of showing love in his famous 1992 book The 5 Love Languages:
- Words of Affirmation: Expressing love with words, praise or appreciation. For example, saying “I love you” or sending cute texts.
- Quality Time: Spending time with each other and having each other’s full attention. For example, switching off cell phones and being present in the moment.
- Physical Touch: Showing love through physical contact with someone. For example, holding hands, cuddling and kissing.
- Acts of Service: Expressing love with actions and doing things to make them feel appreciated. For example, opening doors or cooking dinner.
- Receiving Gifts: Showing you love someone by surprising them with gifts. This doesn’t always have to be expensive, it’s about the time spent picking it.
Knowing each others’ love language can help both partners feel loved and appreciated and lead to a better understanding of one another.
