Need to feel the romantic spark from the first second? Form an intense attachment, or keep your distance? Find out what kind of lover you are with this quiz!

Directions:

Read each question carefully and give the answer that best describes the way you think or feel most of the time. When answering you may consider a current, past or future relationship. Different relationships will receive different scores.

  1. How do you know when to move into a physical relationship?
    • It really depends on what the other person is comfortable with.
    • Simple: when you both want to (generally quickly).
    • Often takes quite a while before you realize you are physically attracted.
    • Should happen naturally when a deep enough intimacy has developed (no rushing).
  1. What’s the first clue you receive about whether this person might be right for you?
    • We have the same goals in life.
    • A feeling that I would do anything to help this person.
    • The first time we kissed or embraced, I felt "turned on."
    • We were able to talk to each other like long lost friends.
