interesting...
I took one of those personality quiz things but this one was based on what I need in a relationship... So I thought I would but out the "Bottom Line" posts and paste it all in here. Bottom line to me is... this test was exactly right!
Interdependence: you need someone who likes frequent physical and emotional connection like you do, but who helps keeps dependency in check in the relationship so that you two do not lose your identities as individuals.
Intimacy: you need someone who will understand and accept a slow pace for emotional intimacy with you and provide frequent reassurance of their feelings and intentions as the relationship is taken to progressive levels.
Self-efficacy: you need a partner who has a good degree of energy, enthusiasm and self-efficacy like you, as opposed to a partner who needs constant nurturance and reassurance to feel empowered and valued as person.
Relationship readiness: you need someone who wants a relationship, rather than needs one to feel personally fulfilled.
Communication: you need someone who will not put up emotional barriers when you seek to understand his/her thoughts and feelings, but rather will communicate with you intimately and candidly.
Conflict resolution: you need someone who will join you in taking time to find a complete and genuine resolution to issues as opposed to avoiding conflict by settling for quick, temporary agreements.
Sexuality: you need someone who regards sex as a meaningful bond between people in love and who appreciates being the center of attention in the bedroom.
Attitudes toward love: you need someone who satisfies the hopeless romantic in you but who will insist that you take time to get to know each other well before the taking the relationship to next levels.
Preferred Expressions of Affection: You need someone who can express affection and show you are a priority by spending time with you - such as simply talking and cuddling at home, taking leisurely strolls outside or extended road trips. This does not necessarily mean that you neither like nor need Actions. Rather, it suggests that you need someone who feels that simple or grand acts of kindness are no substitutes for other expressions of affection - such as telling you how they feel, treating you like a partner, touching you lovingly, spending time with you or remembering special occasions with a thoughtful gift.
Very interesting stuff and all things that I can see as why previous relationships in my life have not worked out!
