X O XO You
1) Name Beth
2) What traits do people appreciate about you?
My understanding, my willingness to listen, and my loyalty (if they earned it anyway.) I'm a person people can count on. They can call me anytime of day or night and no matter what's going on with myself, I'll stop and listen to what they have to say. I'm also almost always smiling no matter how hard life gets.
3) What do people find irritating in you?
Some people that didn't like me in my life probably didn't like me because they thought I was too nice. Not really true, I'm just a pleaser and generally polite to people. Or they think that I'm nice and then find out I'm not as polite as I originally seemed. I'm usually heavily guarded and some people either get annoyed by it or just feel they have to break it. I think people might see me as self-righteous as well. But truthfully I think we all are self-righteous to some degree.
4) What do you do with your free time?
I like to read, draw (every once in awhile), taking photographs, making icons, and play video games too. I also like to take naps if I have a chance to.
5) How romantic are you?
I like romance but not the mushy type. I think I'd puke if a guy bought me a bouquet of roses for Valentine's Day (or any other day for that matter.) Or say cheesy lines about my appearance. Can't he be a little more original than that? A dinner for two at either of our places with some cuddling is romantic enough for me.
6) Are you dominant or submissive?
It depends on my mood. But since I'm a pleaser I guess I'd have to go with submissive. But I don't think I'd like to be submissive all the time because how things are in bed reflects the relationship. And to me relationships are give and take; sometimes it's nice to be submissive and sometimes it's even nicer to be dominant. :)
7) What sets you apart from others? How?
I'm generally accepting of others and their faults. This stems from my childhood where I really wasn't accepted by anyone besides my family. I like to give people a chance or two. I'm such an empathizer (not a sympathizer.) I think about how I would feel if people wouldn't give me a chance, and it makes my stomach turn so I feel guilty.
The one
8) Any gender preferences?
Guys, please!
9) For a long-lasting relationship, what is important?
Trust and honesty. Trust is a big issue with me. I don't trust easily and he has to be trustworthy and reliable. And I will also do the same for him. Liars: I can't stand feeling like I'm being lied to. This also includes truth evaders. I went on a date with a guy who avoided telling me how old he was. A big no-no. "How old are you? 22?" "Haha! No. Older than that." "How much older?" "Haha! Do you like fish?" my thought: WTF!?
10) What are you attracted to?
Intelligence and a sense of humor. Intelligence is so hot. I love to debate and talk about mentally stimulating subjects. Also an appreciation for the same things I do. Physically, I prefer guys who are taller than me (at least by an inch) and a sexy smile. Bonus points if his voice is deep.
11) How would they make a first impression on you?
There has to be a deep connection or a potential for one. I don't waste my time with guys who only want a skin-deep relationship. Also see my answer for what I'm attracted to. Also there has to be some happiness in his face because that tells me he is able to make me happy. Guys who are too serious or are depressed make me sad. People's moods really affect me. I want a happy relationship please.
12) A pickup line that is likely to work on you?
I'm not entirely sure as long as it's well thought out and not cheesy. Although a pick up line might not be necessary because all he has to do is start talking to me and not give up if I ignore him after a one or two word reply from me. Of course he has to be tactful if I'm ignoring; he has to be creative and interesting in what he asks or says to me.
Together
13) What would the ideal date be like?
Hmmm... Something fun like ice skating, bowling, or mini-golf. Somewhere where we can talk and have fun at the same time.
14) How would family life be for you? (Kids, pets...)
If we ended up married? I would definitely want 2 or 3 kids at the most. A cat and a dog. The house doesn't have to be big, just comfortable. Both of us would work and actually spend time with our kids instead of placing them in front of the TV. And hopefully we would still love each other as much as the first time we said "I love you" to each other.<-- about as cheesy as I get
15) If you knew your girlfriend/boyfriend wanted to switch their gender, what would you do?
Uhh... In the unliklihood of that I would have an in depth conversation about why he would want a gender change. I would have to say though that I couldn't be in the relationship anymore. I'm understanding but I can't be attracted to a woman. Of course friendship is always an option. ^__^
Finally
16) Your favourite pairing in Reborn? (And why you like them, not why they’re made for each other?
I'm not into shipping because I could really care less about romance, especially since Reborn isn't a shoujo.
17) Which character do you think you would be the least compatible with and why?
Hibari because he's so quiet and serious. Having a decent conversation with him is futile. Also I need someone to loosen me up. I'm a really reserved sort of person and I have a hard time relaxing, especially in crowds. Xanxus probably wouldn't be a good match either. He's much too dominant.
18) Which one of those stereotypes would you rather date, and why?
The Nerd - Spending most time in parents basement. Caring and appreciating, but has very little experience, and talks a lot about games and such.
Not exactly my type but more close than the others. I have little experience too (with what I've observed from friends and the few dates I've had in my life.) He also seems the most impressionable out of the choices so I could probably get him interested in other things besides games and other nerdy stuff. Unless he's not very intelligent outside of his fandoms or isn't willing to learn about new things.
