Please read the four short descriptions of the different 'love types'. Please choose the one that best describes you.

	In love I want to feel safe and secure. I believe actions speak louder than words and appreciate my loved one doing things that make my life easier. Love relationships are important to me. Trust is the cornerstone of a love relationship. In love I value my own space and independence. I accept my partner's for who they are and value significant moments spent with them. My partner understanding that I can be at times inwardly focussed is important and shared silences are comfortable for us. In love I am fun-loving, expressive and tactile. Intimacy and sensuality are very important in a love relationship and I enjoy keeping love interesting, intense and exciting. Love is an adventure characterised by spontaneity. In love I value commitment and permanency. The steadfastness and stability of a love relationship allows me to show uncharacteristic vulnerability. Love is about being loyal, faithful and building a life together.
