Mine is "The Wild Rose"

 

 

I found it pretty accurate... What's yours?

You really should be :rolleyes:

The Sonnet. These things are so vague, I'm not really sure how telling they can be, but a lot of it is plenty true. I'd say especially:

 

You’d absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance. (Well, not like I take out an IQ ruler, but if I thought someone was dumb. . . couldn't do it.)

 

and

 

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. (describes most of my relationships)

 

and

 

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.(Babies actually love me. I'm the person you hand a random crying baby to, and the baby stops crying. Even when I was afraid of babies, this was true. :))

 

But I think these parts are not so true:

 

They’re conscientious people, caring & careful. (I am not particularly careful at all. In fact, I'm pretty risky, impulsive, and talk-before-thinking.)

 

You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. (I don't think about romance like that, really. I never even planned my wedding as a kid. I'm not a big romantic scene kinda person either. Maybe if it means "love" --- I think a lot about love and kindness in the world.)

 

I wonder if this is true:

 

This will frighten away most potential mates, but that’s okay, because you’re very choosy with your affections anyway. (I've never been that lacking. But you never know how many fellows were scared away. :))

This is mine:

 

Colorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.

Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you’re the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.

You don’t seem to take yourself too seriously, and that’s refreshing. You aren’t uptight; you don’t over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn’t a top priority—a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven’t had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You’re very selective.

The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You’re out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.

 

 

-----------------------

 

Every part of this is spot on. I am very sensitive but at the same time have been called "cruel" when leaving a relationship. I tend to just cut the other person off completly.

mine is 'The Peach'. I like it ;)

Mine is "The Maid of Honor". I like it, think it's pretty accurate.

 

Appreciated for your kindness and envied for all your experience, you are The Maid of Honor.

Charismatic, affectionate, and terrific in relationships, you are what many guys would call a “perfect catch”—and you probably have many admirers, each wishing to capture your long-term love. You’re careful, extra careful, because the last thing you want is to hurt anyone. Especially some poor boy whose only crime was liking you.

We’ve deduced you’re fully capable of a dirty fling, but you do feel that post-coital attachment after hooking up. So, conscientious person that you are, you do your best to reserve physical affection for those you respect...so you can respect yourself.

Your biggest negative is the byproduct of your careful nature: indecision. You’re just as slow rejecting someone as you are accepting them.

Mine's the sonnet also.

But I already knew Zen and I think alike on many issues.

Now I have to go look up these "loverboys" who I should match up with lol

Clean. Smooth. Successful. You’re The Playboy.

You’re spontaneous, and your energy is highly contagious. Guys therefore find you fun to be around, and girls find you compelling. You have lots of sex, and you manage it all without seeming cheap or being hurtful. Well done. You probably know karate, too.

It’s obvious to us, and probably everyone else, that you’re after physical rather than emotional relationships, but you’re straight up with potential partners. And if a girl you want isn’t into something casual, it’s no big deal. You move on. BEFORE sleeping with her. Usually. At least you try to. Such control is rare.

If you’re feeling unfulfilled, maybe you should raise your standards. New conquests will only be satisfying if there’s a possibility of rejection.

 

This describes me pretty accurately. Especially the part about making sure a girl is on the same page as me when I go out with her.

 

And I know Aikido, not karate...

Poolboy? Oh man, lol.

 

These things are kind of on point, jeez.

I got the Sonnet also :p

 

I can't even decide if I think it's true or not for me, haha. I don't think too much about romance but I would say I have high ideals for love because of what I've been through and what I'm not willing to go through again :)

Other than that...I would date someone dumber than me, I don't do well with babies or female friends, and I definitely don't scare anyone away ;)

It's not suprising that most women get love and most men sex in the love/sex part.

The fellow I met on there was a Loverboy. :) Though, for some reason, the Loverboy personality doesn't list The Sonnet as a type to "look for." It's weird that they don't "match up" perse. (Not that this actually matters of course.)

 

Just looked up my old account, and the first time I took this, I got the Window Shopper. This means the "Random" changed to "Deliberate" but nothing else changed. That description doesn't fit me at all, and I wonder if it ever did. I don't remember having loads of crushes. :)

That dating test is biased. It assumes you have been in a relationship, which I am pretty sure not everyone has. How are you supposed to answer "how did you break up with your ex" if you've never had an ex? I can hardly fanthom me having an ex. I can hardly fanthom some of my friends having an ex.

 

I thought about it and got Window Shopper, which I think is embarrassingly accurate. I definitely crush on guys at my college.

 

My Jungian type was INFP.

Not surprised by the result...

The Slow Dancer Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD)

DGLDm.gif

Steady, reliable, and cradling her tenderly. Take a deep breath, and let it out real easy...you are The Slow Dancer

Your focus is love, not sex, and for your age, you have average experience. But you’re a great, thoughtful guy, and your love life improves every year. There’s also a powerful elimination process working in your favor: most Playboy types get stuck raising unwanted kids before you even begin settling down. The women left over will be hot and yours. Your ideal woman is someone intimate, intelligent, and very supportive.

While you’re not exactly the life of the party, you do thrive in small groups of smart people. Your circle of friends is extra tight and it’s HIGHLY likely they’re just like you. You appreciate symmetry in relationships.
