♥ a little bit more about yourself ♥
Are you passionate? When I want to be, nothing will hold me back. =]
Are you romantic? I want to believe that I am to a certain degree. If it feels natural, then yes.
Do you enjoy cooking? Definitely.
Do you enjoy keeping up with fashion? I enjoy fashion but I don't have the courage (or the body type) for the world of fashion.
Are you the intellectual type? I would like to think I am
Good listener? For the most part, I think I am.
Are you the talkative type? That depends on the topic.
What are your talents? I write poetry (most of the time not romantic ones -_-;) and I actually take the time to give everyone the benefit of the doubt; I want to hear their side too. I also would like peace; naturally, I'm more or less a pacifist at heart.
Do you enjoy video/computer games? No. I'm not much of a gamer.
Do you enjoy reading? If so, what? Oh, most definitely! Recently, I find myself reading a lot of YA adventure/fantasy fiction (The Hunger Games Trilogy is my favorite in that genre so far). I enjoy Shakespeare (cliché but true), mostly his Comedies and Tragedies. My favorite poets are Billy Collins and Robert Frost. And my favorite book right now is Patriotism by Yukio Mishima. His style is subtle and refined to the point of excruciating perfection. The story left me heartbroken and craving for more. (The emotional torture was, oh, so welcomed! ^_^)
Animal lover? I am. My ideal pet would be a kiwi bird! =D No, I'm dead serious! They are so cute! But I suppose realistically I'll settle for a cat. Or a dog. Or a fish. ;3
Do you get excited easily? When it comes to Arashi, I have no shame!
♥ your type ♥
What do you value in a person? Their intelligence. And not only “book smarts”, but wisdom that you can only acquire from living. And someone who loves to learn and understand that one can only grow if they experience life by going out, learning all they can, and live each day like its their last.
Traits you want to see from your mate?
Traits you don't want to see from your mate? I've never liked a guy who simply showers his girlfriend with gifts. To me, the act seems frivolous. I think it's a stupid and shallow way to treat your girlfriend because it seems like he's trying too hard. Or like it seems like he's trying to buy her love and that is just really disgusting to me. Gifts are nice, don't get me wrong, but if a guy constantly, for no apparent reason, just gives gifts without an occasion for them, it seems forced. Because from what I understand is that most guys would not do that unless they 1) want something or 2) they are trying to impress a girl because they don't think that they can impress her with their wit, charm, or intelligence.
Does your mate have to share common interests and same personalities as yours? No, not necessarily. I mean on the most basic level, I suppose. Like he thinks children are pure beings, education is important, and that life is too short to waste away on things that you cannot change. Stuff like that. Just really basic stuff. For everything else, there's Master Card a nice balance of things would be good. =]
Dominate or submissive: Dominate, I think. (It shows confidence. But not if he's controlling.)
Funny or sarcastic: Hmmm, something in the middle I guess? I like “witty”. ^_^
Shy or confident: Shy is cute but confidence is probably the guy that I would take home.
Talkative or quiet: Most of the time quiet, I think. I guess if he is talkative about something that he is passionate about, then that's okay.
Child-like or mature: The mature guy, who is a kid at heart! =D
Hyper or calm: A nice balance would be good.
Affectionate or not: As long as it doesn't feel forced, it doesn't matter. ^_^
Carefree or strict: I need someone strict!
Athletic or not: ... sure... okay... *hahaha*
Who in Arashi do you want as a boyfriend? Any one but Nino... lol! (And I like Nino, don't get me wrong.)
Has he matched with your criteria/requirements? 4/5 guys? I guess.
Which Arashi member do you think you're least compatible with and why? Nino. lmao! And I think it's his brutal honesty. For me, it's a bit of a turn off.
♥ love ♥
Where would you want to go for a date? Dinner and a movie! And then we can hit the local bookstore!
What things would you like to do on a date? Play games! A fun game is the best way to break the tension or nervousness/awkwardness during the first few dates. =D
If it's your first date with your mate, how would you impress him? Try to create a relaxing atmosphere by acting as natural as possible. I don't want him to feel like he needs to be nervous around me.
Would you ever buy matching couple accessories? Maybe... it'll have to depend on what it is. Necklace maybe? Ring... maybe? *blush*
What kind of gift would you like to give to your mate? A watch or a nice jacket. Oh! Cologne! *_*
What kind of gift would you like to receive from your mate? A ring that's too small for me, so that I am forced to wear it as a chram on a necklace. ^_^v Or a pet we rescued from the pound!
Lastly, what kind of love confession is likely to work on you? Whatever it is, just surprise me! I've seen, read, and heard about so many different types of confessions, and so I imagine that a confession with my ideal guy would be one that stands out from the rest. To show that he's put some thought into this! The whole thing might not even work out the way he planned it but the thought and the heart is there! =D
