Love Potion Number.... Five?

I have to blame Kallikrates for this, and the resultant use of seriousness that is going to be shown. She had a number of quizzes on her recent blog, and out of sheer boredom at work, I took one. I needed to find out what my Love Number was, and no, it's not pi or 69.

Your Love Number is

5 You're very open minded, and you could see yourself in any number of interesting relationships. And being extremely independent, anyone you're with has to give you space. You approach new lovers like they are a subject, learning everything about them. But once you've "mastered" a new person, you often feel like exploring some one else!

What Is Your Love Number?

Now I can see the first two comments applying to me, especially the independent aspect. That's one of the reasons why I ended my last relationship. As for approaching new lovers as a 'subject', I don't know if that's exactly true. I am cautious when getting into a relationship. Shit, I'm cautious even before there's even a chance for a relationship. But I do like to know what I'm getting into and try to make sure that I don't jump into anything blindly. Do I learn everything I can about them? No, because it also takes a lot of the surprise and discovery out of the beginning of the relationship.

But the "mastering" of a person line... that's just, I don't know, wrong? Let's theorize here. Let's say you've found someone with whom things click in a very good way. You know damned near everything about them. In essence, you could say that you've "mastered" them, and that's without even having to use the Konami code (sorry, needed to toss in a touch of wry humor). Do you need to "explore" someone else in order to "master" them? FUCK NO! You're in a relationship that you enjoy and it meets your and your significant other's needs. If you need to go out and find someone else, then it's not a good relationship. You'll probably have also found out that it wasn't a good relationship to be in before the "mastering" took place, and gotten the flying fuck out of such a relationship.

In summary, when it comes to relationships I am open-minded and rather independent. I do like to know what I'm getting into, but still like some mystery. And I'm loyal, you fuckers. I'm not likely to leave once I've found everything out about you. I'll leave if it ain't working, though. And this is after discussion is had and attempts are made.

Damnit. To get a bit of seriousness out of me, it looks like all one needs is one of these web quizzes that doesn't describe me to a tee, and I have to go tear it apart via self-justification. Maybe the funny will come back for my next post.
