Quiz Outcomes

1.
Slow Down!

Your relationship is moving fast, maybe even too fast. You really like each other and that’s great, but have you taken the time to really get to know each other? Before saying those 3 little words, posting pictures and meeting the parents, it’s good to make sure that you actually like this person for who they are. Sometimes we can get excited to just be in a relationship. Also think through about what you want in a relationship. Are you looking for something long term? If so, then make sure you are on the same page and have the same goals. Also, things like shared values are extremely important when it comes to long term relationships. Do you have the same beliefs when it comes to things like religion? Do you both value family? Take some time to really get to know each other. Don’t let the excitement block your judgment. It’s easy to get infatuated with someone and think you’re in love but true love is a whole different thing.
2.
You can speed things up... if you want

Things are moving quite slowly, which can be a very good thing. You are taking your time and getting to know one another before rushing into things. You know it’s important to spend time with one another, have deep conversations and see how the other person acts over time. It’s easy for someone to say something to impress you.Continue to be wise and make sure that this person’s words line up with their actions. However, you can probably move things forward a little bit if you want. You don’t have to do anything that would make you uncomfortable of course, and each relationship is different, but you can take a little step forward. Maybe make things official and ask them to be your girlfriend/boyfriend? Maybe it’s time to meet the parents? Or are you ready to get engaged? Only you know what the next step is in your relationship and only you know when you’re ready to make it. Don’t do anything because you feel pressured, do it because you want to and you care about the person you’re with.

Good Speed

Things seem to be going at a good and healthy speed. You’re spending time getting to know one another while also moving things forward. You realize that real love isn’t rushed, it takes time to build real connections. You also seem to realize that love is more than just a feeling, it’s an action. By taking your time and really getting to know one another you are able to discover if you share values, goals and want the same things out of life. You are able to see if your lives mesh well together and if things could work out long term. You don’t rush into saying “I love you” until you know you mean it. You’re taking things one step at a time and that is a good thing. Make sure to continue to keep open lines of communication to make sure that your partner also feels like things are moving at a good speed.Keep moving things at a healthy pace and realize that taking your time isn’t always so bad, especially when it comes to a love that you want to last a lifetime.
