  • QUIZ: Why am I lonely | Come and find out

    What do you think is the most important thing in a relationship? nine0003

    To keep them stable, I have no time to deal with dramas and quarrels

    Feel as much independence as possible

    The main thing is everything! And everything should be perfect

    So that when I compare it with past relationships, I don't regret anything

    You are going on a first date to a restaurant. What is the best thing to wear?

    Luxurious evening dress. The first date should be the most beautiful!

    White blouse and skirt. I hardly have time to run home and change after the meeting

    Something I usually wear. I don't want to turn a first date into a red carpet

    So, what was I wearing last time? Here, I'll put on the same dress, it's happy

    Which phrase best describes you in a relationship?

    Always strive higher

    Those who don't understand their past don't understand anything

    I'll think about it tomorrow

    The most reliable friend is my favorite thing

    Where would you go right now?

    I always go to the same place, there are many memories and it is so cozy

    I will go where I have already been. I do not want to be disappointed in something new

    To the suburbs so that I can quickly return in case of emergency

    To the beautiful coast

    In old age, would you like to tell your grandchildren about:

    Achieved goals

    What mistakes are not necessary make

    An incredibly beautiful love story

    Your wonderful memories

    You and your significant other choose a movie for the evening. What would you suggest? nine0003

    The Devil Wears Prada

    The Fault in the Stars

    Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    Imagine that you are sitting in a restaurant. There was slow music playing. At this time, you:

    I am lost in my thoughts

    I blush with embarrassment and lower my eyes

    I imagine how we will waltz in front of everyone

    I will continue the conversation as if nothing is happening. I don't care about dancing

    What can make you happy after a hard and long day at work? nine0003

    A good massage or a bath

    Sometimes I flip through old photo albums

    Playing sports

    Reading a book quietly alone

    What would you call a "toxic" relationship?

    When they take up all my time and thoughts

    When you don't fully trust your partner, you often get jealous

    I can't have a toxic relationship!

    When thoughts like "That didn't happen last time" appear

    If, after a date in a restaurant, he offers to continue the evening at his house, what will you say? nine0003

    It turned out that the man you like is married. What are your thoughts?

    This is some kind of wrong man

    Well, okay, I have no desire to understand this. Next

    Well, as usual

    Yes, it happens so often. I don't really hope

    Hard work and constant employment

    One of the possible reasons for loneliness is that you spend a lot of time at work and almost forgot about your personal life. If you are like a squirrel in a wheel, from early morning you run to work, in the evening you run tired to other household chores, or to sports, and late at night you return to your home - without the desire to see and hear anyone, then of course your chance to meet a good person who can take care of you and be with you is very small. There is only one way out of this - you simply have to allocate time each week that you will devote to your personal life. nine0003

    Fear of loneliness and loss

    You get to know each other, go on a first date, a second...then he disappears without explanation. Relationships are established, but do not have the desired continuation.
