:: The Lover
What do you look for in a significant other? Someone who's flexible, intelligent, and trustworthy. I like someone who can differentiate a serious situation from one of a humorous nature. I like someone who can willingly accept me for who I am, flaws and all. I like someone who knows what he's talking about, someone I can have a decent conversation with. I like someone who I can trust and who can trust me in return, someone who isn't clingy, and that I don't have to physically be with to know that things are okay between us.
Three major turn-ons? Confidence; I like a guy who is sure of himself and doesn't rely too heavily on the opinions of others to help influence his decisions (but at the same time does not completely oppose the advice of others). A sense of humor; as I said before, I like someone who knows how to make (and take) jokes, as well as know when a situation does or does not call for humor. A sense of equality; I absolutely LOVE it when I'm treated as an equal by a guy. Don't get me wrong, I do greatly appreciate gentlemanly gestures now and then (i.e. holding the door open, temporarily lending me your coat, etc.), but I don't think anything pleases me greater than being cared for as a fellow person and not as some "delicate little flower." Know what I mean?
Three major turn-offs? A controlling nature; I extremely dislike it when someone tries to make me do something against my will, no matter how small the matter is. (When I say no, I mean no.) Closemindedness; I appreciate the opinions of others, but it puts a damper on my mood when those people will not even consider my own, let alone consider that I have them. A dramatic sense of jealousy; just because I am sociable with other guys does NOT mean the relationship is being jeopardized. I feel a little jealousy in a relationship is healthy, but to a point; if his trust in me is being questioned simply because I am hanging out with other guys, then he's not the guy for me.
:: The Choices
Brave or coward? Brave for the most part (but not in the "charging-in-with-guns-blazing" kind of way; more like, he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in), but I wouldn't condone him for momentary acts of cowardice, especially if they are justifiable fears. (After all, we all have them sometimes, right?)
Pessimistic or optimistic? A realist, but leaning towards optimistic. I like a person who looks on the bright side of things, but at the same time knows that not every situation has a happy outcome.
Impulsive or cautious? A little of both. I'd like a person who is aware of his surroundings, but isn't afraid to jump out of the box once in a while. (Change is good every so often.)
Looks or brains? While I'd appreciate the sight of a nice face and a good body (which let me know he takes care of himself decently), I'd lean more towards brains. I'd like someone I could speak with seriously and intelligently on occasion.
Money or personality? Personality, hands-down.
Love or sex? Love. Definitely love. (Although the latter option wouldn't be unwelcome if it came up. X3)
Marriage or no? Either/or, really. If he wasn't completely sure about it or wanted to wait, I wouldn't force him. Just being with him would work for me. (Still, the idea of marriage is nice. :3)
:: The Real You
Describe your personality: I feel I'm pretty open; I usually get along with everybody. I have a tendency to think the best about a person unless he/she gives me reason to think otherwise. I consider myself a calm, collected person who can deal with stressful situations quite well. While I may become frustrated and stressed internally, it takes a LOT to visibly anger me. (Seeing me yell or throw/hit something is a bad sign; it means I've reached my breaking point, which takes a long, LONG time to reach.) I really don't like loud outbursts in general, which is why I don't like yelling at all and try to stay calm as much as possible (otherwise, I end up spooking myself). While I'm getting better about it, I'm still really emotionally sensitive, I apologize a lot, and I have a hard time saying "no" to people; I like seeing people happy, and I sometimes ignore my own feelings and/or well-being in order to see that they're happy. I love to daydream, but I'm also pretty down-to-earth. I'm pretty optimistic, but also a realist. I am very creative artistically, and I one day hope to have a musically-oriented career. Also, sometimes I have a tendency to talk too much (which is what I think I'm doing right now). XD
What annoys you/makes you angry? Most of the things that tend to get on my nerves are people-oriented: people arriving late on multiple occasions, people invading my personal space, people cancelling something without so much as a phone call or email, etc. Little things like that.
What is your biggest personality flaw? While I may not show it, I tend to mentally berate people when they cannot do something that I personally feel is simple or easy. (My thought process is usually, "If I can do it, why can't they?") If it happens too often, my true feelings might seep through in some of my actions or facial expressions, but I usually try to control them. My tendency to apologize often tends to balance everything out, I suppose, but I still need to work on that flaw. XD
What really good trait could you bring to a relationship? My general openness, I think. I'm usually very accepting of new ideas and concepts, and I'm a good listener. I'd be pretty open to new ideas for... stuff. XD *shrug*
:: The Fire Emblem Scenario
How would the two of you meet? Hmm... probably on the battlefield somewhere. I'd probably be dealing with some enemies, and he'd suddenly appear and take one out. He'd turn to me and ask if I needed some help; knowing me, my independent side would probably kick in, and although I'd be grateful to him, I'd probably say something politely rebuffing like, "I'm doing just fine. I don't need any help, thanks." But he'd just smile and we'd take out the rest of the small force together.
Describe your ideal date: Mmm... Something simple. We'd probably be running errands while passing through a town, and I suddenly see that a group of minstrels is performing in the town square. I decide I want to listen and abandon my errands temporarily to find a place to sit down, calling out to let him know where I'm going. He'd decide to follow me and we'd end up spending the majority of our afternoon sitting together and listening to the performers' music. Maybe we'd eat a little something, too. Dawww. XD
Your lover is the hero/heroine and has an unbelievable trial ahead of him/her and he/she is having doubts about himself/herself. What do you do? I'd assure him as best I could. (If he needed cheering up, I'd try and make him laugh.) I'd stay with him as long as he needed me to, making sure he knows he has my trust and confidence in him.
It's the final boss! And he/she has to defeat them! Where are you? I am right behind him, backing him up as he needs me to. (If I am physically unable to be with him, I'm sure he will be just as strong, as our trust in one another goes beyond our ability to see each other.)
Reverse situation: You are the hero/heroine and you have an unbelievable trial ahead of you and you are starting to doubt yourself. What does your lover do? He'd probably do the same for me as I would for him. He would stay with me as I needed him and answer my doubts and fears as best he could. If I needed it, he might try and make me laugh.
Reverse situation: It's the final boss! And you have to defeat them! Where is your lover? Right behind me, backing me up with all he's got. (As with the previous situation, if he is unable to physically be there with me, I am assured by his faith in me.)
