What do my results mean?

Love isn't a science, but by answering some targeted questions about your personality, dating history, and relationship preferences, we can learn a whole lot about the type of partner you should be with:


The Hopeless Romantic: Your ideal match is affectionate, committed, and in love with love. They're on the hunt for their soulmate—could it be you? In this relationship, expect lots of grand gestures and over-the-top declarations of eternal passion and fidelity. Valentine's Day in Paris, a proposal on the beach, matching tattoos—they're in it for the long haul! This partner wants to truly know you intimately, but they also want to shout their love for you from the rooftops, and they can't wait to build a life together. So what are you waiting for? Dive in!

The Charmer: Your match is fun, spontaneous, flirty, and dripping with rizz. They might be in it for the long haul, but they're really all about having new experiences and living in the Now: their motto is, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Since they enjoy living in the present, you can expect every date to be an unforgettable one—think exploring an old, abandoned church in the woods, hopping on a train without knowing where it'll take you, or trying to break into Area 51 in the middle of the night (not that we condone trespassing...). Basically, this partner's all about enjoying the ride, and leaving the destination up to Fate.

The Bestie: Your ideal match is a partner in crime, someone who really gets you in the way only a BFF can. Maybe you even start out as friends before getting romantically involved (which studies show is a great foundation for lasting love!). Either way, your relationship is built on mutual trust, loyalty, and laughter, and you wouldn't have it any other way. You can rely on one another with your deepest secrets, and you know that whatever life throws your way, your partner will be in your corner, ready to take on the world for you. How sweet!

The Protector: Your ideal type is strong, commanding, and brave. They watch out for you and love taking care of you. After all, you're the most important thing in the world to them! You can rest easy in this relationship, which is built on a foundation of trust, dedication, and honesty. Your partner would do anything to make you happy, even to the point of sacrificing their own happiness (which you would never ask them to do!). You're both helplessly in love with one another, but you know that a long-term relationship takes hard work and dedication, and you're both prepared to give it your all.

The Adventurer: Your ideal match is happy-go-lucky, spontaneous, and flexible, and they love flying by the seat of their pants. They never shy away from a challenge, and they hope you'll take the plunge with them into whatever exciting adventure is next! They're optimistic and energetic, and they value compromise. After all, life's just too short to spend disagreeing on minor issues! They love to live large: "Go big or go home" is their motto, and they live by it religiously, from last-minute weekend trips to skydiving lessons and other adrenaline-raising activities. You'll never get bored with this partner! Yeehaw!

The Artist: Your ideal match is soulful, sensitive, and creative. They may be a painter, poet, or musician, or they may just have artistic sensibilities. You'd likely spend many an hour together reading, creating, reflecting, and discussing deep subjects, like the meaning of life and the history of cinema. But this thoughtful, intuitive individual probably also needs a decent amount of alone time, so be prepared to guard their solitude and independence. In return, you'll get a lovely, unique partner who'll show you how to see the world a little differently and find beauty in unexpected places.

The Philosopher: Your partner is thoughtful, intelligent, and obsessed with the Big Questions: Why are we here? What's the meaning of life? Do soulmates exist? (That's a yes!) They likely enjoy engaging people in friendly—but occasionally heated—debates about society, religion, politics, and other deep subjects. They're often the winner, but they appreciate being challenged and invited to see the world in a new way, too! Expect long nights spent listening to each other wax philosophical...or reading side by side under the gentle glow of your book lights. That's amore, baby.

The Athlete: Your ideal mate is go-go-go! They may be a hardcore athlete, or they might just be really in tune with their body and crave movement, activity, and communion with nature...and they'll likely expect you to join in! From hiking in the woods beneath sun-dappled leaves to early morning jogs (or walks) while the sun rises, you and your partner can expect to bond over shared physical activities and help each other be your best selves. Plus, exercising together is a great way to boost your mood, bring you closer together, and even increase your libido.... Ooh la la!
