1 – 10
Ready, set, go get yourself a boyfriend! Having a relationship requires
maturity, a strong sense of independence
and also the ability to communicate.
You seem to be well on the way to being
able to handle getting involved with
someone else. If you aren’t sure
of yourself and what you like and don’t
like, you can end up compromising too
much and losing some of your identity.
Also, having a good relationship with
your parents means you can talk about
any issues that come up. They will also
trust you to do the right thing and look
after yourself in a relationship.
11 – 20
Hmm…maybe not yet but nearly. You are nearly there: just
give it a little more time and you’ll
be ready to start dating and getting
involved in a relationship. It sounds
like you are enjoying single life still
and maybe need to get to know yourself
a bit better before you are ready to
involve another person in your life.
As the old saying goes, you need to
love yourself before others can love
you. While relationships are all about
give and take and a certain amount
of compromise, the most important thing
is to stay true to yourself. Allowing
each other to be independent and grow
within the relationship is also really
healthy and important.
21 – 30
Still just loving the independent thing. Being your own person and finding
out who you are is still a priority
for you. It’s great that you
recognize this and are happy to wait
until you find the right person who
will respect you and your need for
independence. Maybe you need to have
a better relationship with your folks,
too, as when you’re in a relationship
you need to be able to discuss things.
If you aren’t able to communicate
with either your family or someone
else with more life experience, you
may find yourself in the situation
where your boyf is taking on more of
a support role in your life, rather
than being there as your friend. In
a relationship you need to find a balance
between sharing things with your partner
as well as being able to talk to someone
else about things.
Remember,
our quizzes are just for fun … don’t
take them too seriously!
