The Final Analysis
I have signed up for a free trial of a dating site. As part of the sign up you get a personality report. It's all quite interesting (who doesn't like reading about themselves) but I thought the final summary was worth a post here, just to keep in mind.
Given your most obvious qualities, it would be great for you to meet the kind of partner:
Who appreciates your need for time spent one-to-one rather than being with lots of people.
Who shares his feelings with you and feels good about you expressing yours.
Who listens to you and supports you in practical ways when times get tough.
Who's able to accommodate when you stick to your guns.
Who's happy with your direct, straight way of communicating.
Who can be intuitive.
Who is as organised and conscientious as you are.
Who enjoys the relationship here-and-now, day-to-day.
Who looks at the positive side of things and is optimistic.
Who welcomes your emotions and expresses his freely.
You'd also really like it if your future partner:
Isn't too clingy and smothering.
Lets you cherish and take care of him.
Is happy to spend some of his free time doing things together.
Is happy to make joint plans for the future.
Likes to be physically affectionate.
Shares your intellectual interests and is able to talk to you on a wide range of subjects.
So there's my checklist for when I eventually venture out.
