My love type…

I just took this test on Youniverse. It’s eerie how dead-on accurate it is.

This is what my answers revealed about me:

I’m a Wistful Soul.

You’re someone who doesn’t have much luck in the romance department. You’ve got such a lot of love to give but it keeps getting lost in transit. You probably think that it was about time that you had your share of romance. But if you were lucky in love, would you really be happy? Have you ever thought that maybe part of you actually enjoys pining for the one you love…? If you really want your fair share of love, perhaps you need to set your sights on a more realistic object of affection.

I’ve thought before that, perhaps, I’m attracted to and pine after unavailable men as a way of protecting myself. If I know there will never be a future with them, I will never actually get hurt. If I go into a relationship with someone, whether as friends or more, if I look completely realistically at the situation and never expect more than what the facts present, I can never truly become disillusioned or disappointed. So maybe my bad luck in the love department has a lot to do with my fear of getting hurt and my subconscious decision to not get into a situation where I can be hurt…

The next part said this:

You are a deeply emotional person. Love is your life-blood. It fills you with energy and makes you feel positive about the world. You’d like to have more of it in your life. Right now you’re feeling frustrated because things aren’t quite going your way. But you’ve got to admit, there is something really enticing about wanting what you can’t have…

That one deserves little explanation except to say that every word is true…

The next part said:

The world can be a very lonely place when love isn’t going the way you’d like. You’d like nothing more than to just feel completely natural with the one you love. It would be so special if you could sneak away with them and find a quiet place just the two of you. [I love this more than ANYTHING.] That would beat all the heartache you seem to put yourself through. Your choice of animal [I chose the lion to represent how I love] reflects that you’re a very powerful and noble lover. You are courageous in the relationships you pursue.

I am courageous in the relationships I pursue because I tend to go in with everything I’ve got. I don’t play games. I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not. I do go in with a few walls… that whole self-protection thing again, but for the most part, I show who I am and if you don’t like it, I move on… or try to, at least…

The last part said this:

You’re a real romantic at heart. Sometimes you actually quite enjoy a spot of heartache. Pining for the one you love can be good for the soul and for the creative spirit! You like quiet one-on-one time best of all. It’s such a treat to get your lover all to yourself, uninterrupted. You dream of being reunited with the one you love. After all, you’re a caring soul. For you a healthy relationship is one where you can lean on each other when the going gets tough. True love is about taking the rough with the smooth. After all, you’re in this together.

And that, my friends, is what I want most of all.

    Wow, Katie! Sounds like the apple on this adventure falls pretty close to the tree, huh? This sounds like a pretty neat person, to me; actually sounds like a wonderful person with lots to give! Thanks for sharing this, KT!

    Hi Katie – I had a lot of fun last night. We should definitely do that again sometime. I took that test awhile ago – I am a Love Magnet (HA!) – my choice of animal (the fox) reflects a wild nature and deeply cunning instinct…not real sure how positive that is, but it does say I am an “adventurous soul” that can’t love by halves. Amen to that!

    I love those kinds of tests! Anyway, I just took it and I am a Wistful Soul as well, and I think it fits me too. I know that I tend to want what I can’t have (in a big, bad way) and it said I dream of being reunited with the one I love which is crazy ’cause it’s true though it’s never going to happen (for reasons I won’t go into here.)

    I chose the dog as my animal, by the way. I tend to get almost fiercely loyal when I am deep into a relationship.

    Very interesting; thanks for sharing this link!
