ABOUT YOU
Introverted or Extroverted?: I'm very shy, quiet and introverted until you get to know me really well... Then I run my mouth about everything.
Rational or Emotional?: I'm definitely run by my emotions. I'm most concerned about how things make me feel. I often can't even describe how I feel about something, but I know what I feel about it. I'm pretty good at rationalizing why I react in certain ways, but I definitely instinctively act on my emotions before thinking through what might be more "common sense."
Optimistic or Pessimistic?: I... am a HARDCORE OPTIMIST!! ♥
Dominant or Submissive?: Until I'm really comfortable with someone, I have a pretty submissive attitude. I never try to force my own opinions on anyone else or even directly point out a mistake. I always say, "Well, I think ___" or "I thought ___ was supposed to be kind of like this, are you sure?" I don't like the idea of dominating over anyone else, so the most I'd ever want to be is comfortable enough that I feel that I can freely express myself and my opinions and advise versus suggesting what might be an error, gasp. Also, kind of in general: I'll pretty much do anything if you tell me to unless it's against the rules/the law/the authority figure/harmful to myself/I know you're just joking or trying to see if I'll do it.
Large Groups or Small Groups?: Small groups of close friends. Small groups of people I don't know that well are insanely awkward. And I dislike groups that are large enough that people can break off and form little groups; I'd feel like I wasn't connecting with some people or neglecting them. Or alternatively, being neglected myself.
Cautious or Impulsive?: Impulsive! When I know people really well, I feel like I can just say or do anything that comes to my mind... I impulsively do things sometimes just because I need to. Alternatively, if asked to do something I'm not sure about or talk to someone I don't know, especially if they're outside of my age group, I proceed with extreme caution, shyness, and you will have to tell me to speak up.
Pet Peeves: incessant complaining or whining; insensitivity; non-objectivity; intolerance; cynicism; serious, extreme competitiveness; pessimism (especially the phrase "It's impossible!")
ABOUT YOUR PARTNER
Which traits do you like in a friend?: Someone who's warm-hearted and kind and loyal. Someone who likes to go out and have a good time but is comfortable with silence too. Someone who's quick to joke around but can also take a joke themselves and a lot some good-intentioned teasing and will tease me back. Lots of in-jokes. Someone dependable who I can trust, who knows how and when to be mature, who stands up for their friends.
Which traits don't you like in a friend?: Above all else, someone who would ignore me or forget about me. If we have nothing in common, without anything to talk about. If they ignore my suggestions or opinions or don't ever take me seriously. Someone who can't tell when I'm joking or teasing. If they're overwhelmingly angry or unapologetically insensitive, never taking anyone's feelings into account. Someone who would rip someone to shreds merely to prove a point.
Introverted or extroverted? It wouldn't really matter if we were comfortable with each other. If s/he were introverted, we could cheer each other on. If s/he were extroverted, I'd leach off that and become more extroverted myself.
Would you prefer to be their only or "best" friend, or do you not mind sharing the spotlight? I find that a small, tight-knit group of conspirators friends is the most fun. I have a lot of close friends and I'd love for my best friend to have a lot too. But if they didn't and I happened to be their only or "best" friend, I'd try to always be there for them and include them.
You and your best friend have a day totally free from all other obligations and appointments. You can do whatever you want! What do you do? Sweet! I'd love to spend the afternoon watching cool old movies that neither or only one of us has seen before, making fun comments as we watch. Maybe we could go out and have mock sword fights or start up a joke rivalry. We'd do pretty much anything the other suggested. Like, right now I totally feel like waffles, so I'd suggest that and we'd go to IHOP. Oh, oh! Or we could build a bonfire, dance around it, and make s'mores!
You and your friend have an argument. What's it most likely about? Well. Honestly, I've never gotten upset with my close friends. Occasionally I have a different opinion and I'll tell them I disagree, but that's it. If they're my best friends, I accept them wholeheartedly. I can't stay angry about anything for more than a few hours anyway. Ah, and I'm constantly apologizing for stupid or rude things I accidentally do, so... Maybe that?
Your friend needs money. Would you give it to them as a gift, loan it to them and expect money back, or just not give them any? Why? If they need it and I have it, I'd give it to them. It'd be great if they'd return it whenever possible, but if they forget I'd never mention it. Money isn't everything. I'd get really worried about them if they kept asking for money, but I trust my friends; I'd keep giving all I could spare. But if it were repeatedly just for trivial things and they weren't paying me back, I might start to conspicuously forget to carry my wallet around.
