Make a personal inventory of yourself

Post Reply New Topic

This thread is geared mainly toward those who are single.

Picture yourself in a relationship. What type of person would you be if you were with someone? What type of positive personality traits do you think would make you endearing to a potential romantic partner?

Don't mention things like your income, present or potential, physical appearance, level of education. List only your *positive* personality traits.

I'll start, beginning with my traits:

1. Very laid-back, and flexible.

2. A good emotional provider.

3. Very accommodating.

4. Affectionate, and love showing it.

5. Understanding and honest.

6. Willing to make sacrifices for a partner.

edit, misread.

I don't know. None I suppose, I'm annoying, lazy and ADD.

(I just killed the thread sorry)

I would be myself.

not a bad answer considering many people fail to manage it

Me:

1. kind
2. honest
3. unpredictable
4. creative
5. funny

1) nice
2) random
3) goofy
4) easy going
5) smart (enough XD)
6) honest
7) playful/teasie
emotionally affectionate... as in, wants to hang out a lot (can't say physically affectionate though )
9) curious
10) uh... goofy... xD

Dunno~ Hard to distinguish what traits I (or others) have

Me too. Why would I change because I'm with someone?

I would be the Face of Boo.

He's not saying you should change.. just list the qualities about yourself you think are positive personality traits in a reationship.

Most people do, I know a girl who changed from extremist muslim to a full-edged agnostic in a very short time (1 week) just to be with a Christian-born agnostic fella.

I wasn't talking about changing, I was referring to the personality traits you possess while in a relationship.

Well I just did a Facebook quiz which said of me: “you are a sweetie (but don't worry you are also manly). your partner adores you (and if she dosen't, you deserve someone who does). you know how to treat a lover right, and you are wonderful to be around. you are thoughtful, caring and dependable. thank you for being awesome”

I'll take that result thanks

Those Facebook and OKCupid quizzes are good at measuring your success in a potential relationship.

But that implies that my personality (traits) would be different if I were in a relationship as opposed to when I'm single - as I now am. My personality is the same whether I'm in a relationship or not.

I'm obviously missing something here.

He means what positive traits will you bring to a relationship?

Basically... what positive traits do you have? Which applies to a relationship? If you *DO* change, what would (positively)?

Like... being affectionate is a personality trait, but you won't really see that too much outside of a relationship, stuff like that~

Ah, right.

Hmmm ... well, I've been married twice and am in the middle of my second divorce, so ... I suppose, assuming that I made a wiser choice in terms of a potential partner, .... I don't know.

I'm happy on my own, so if I did meet someone he would basically have to accept me as I am. Laid back, disorganised, procrastinating, pedantic (although I have been working on that), strange sense of humour, forgetful, think a lot, talk a lot ...

I don't know...
I don't see any reason why anyone should be my partner.
