2. Which statement best describes how well you know this person?

The unusual intensity of my feelings when I think about them.
What I have observed about our mutual needs, values, conflicts, and compatibility.

4. The person says they are not ready to define the relationship. How do you handle that limit?

I ask once for enough clarification to make my own decision.
I revisit the subject often, hoping that reassurance or persistence will change things.

5. After a particularly warm or distant interaction, how much does your mood depend on what happened?
My mood shifts strongly and may stay that way for much of the day.
I feel some change, but other parts of life soon influence my mood too.
My mood changes noticeably and takes deliberate effort to rebalance.

6. When you feel uncertain about the connection, how does their social-media activity affect you?
I engage with it about as much as I do when I feel secure.
I take an extra look for reassurance, then usually move on.
I return several times and interpret likes, follows, or timing for clues.
I search across posts or accounts to assemble a fuller picture of what they are doing.
7. They have had a difficult week and seem less available than usual. How do you respond?
I listen for what they need and adapt without assuming their experience is about me.
I try to lift their mood using something that normally makes me feel connected.
I ask what would help while also being honest that I miss our usual contact.
I focus mainly on getting the relationship back to its warmer, more familiar rhythm.
8. Plans with the person are unexpectedly cancelled for an ordinary reason. How does the rest of your day tend to unfold?
I feel disappointed and then make another plan or settle into something else.
My day feels derailed, and it is difficult to care about anything else.
I adjust fairly readily, even though I would have preferred to see them.
I continue with other things but dwell on the cancellation for a while.
9. You have a hobby that the person does not share. What tends to happen to it as the connection intensifies?
I keep it as part of my life while negotiating shared time when needed.
I occasionally skip it because time together feels more appealing.
I rearrange or miss it frequently to stay available for possible time together.
I mostly set it aside because activities without the person feel less worthwhile.

I notice the delay but remain focused on what I am doing.
I think about it often, although I can still complete most of my day.
I repeatedly check for a reply and struggle to focus elsewhere.
I check once or twice more than usual, then return to other things.
11. When something exciting happens to you, how important is this person's response?
Their response matters, but I can also enjoy sharing with other people or by myself.
I strongly want a quick response before the news feels fully satisfying.
The experience hardly feels meaningful until they react to it.
They are one valued person among several people I may want to tell.
12. The person asks to spend an evening alone after you expected to be together. What are you most likely to do?
Honor the request and turn toward my own plans, even if I feel disappointed.

Agree to the evening apart while continuing to message more than usual.
Try to persuade them that keeping our original plan would be better for us.
13. How often do you build detailed scenes of a future with this person that go beyond what you have actually discussed?

Rarely; my thoughts stay mostly with what is happening now.
Most days, with the imagined future feeling especially vivid or important.
