1. Are looks important in a relationship?
Physical chemistry/attraction is important. A lot of the people I’ve been attracted to have been kind of weird-looking in the conventional sense, though. If someone’s personality is attractive to me, I tend to find them physically attractive as well.
11. Do you ever want to get married?
I flip-flop on this question constantly.
On the one hand, I love the idea of having a wedding and of making a public commitment to someone I love.
On the other hand, I don’t believe that lifelong monogamy is practical or reasonable for most people, including myself. I also think it’s sad that a marriage is seen to have been a “failure” if it ends in divorce rather than death. Relationships aren’t meant to last that duration of time.
I think, if I were to get married, it would probably have to be a polyamorous/open relationship. I’d also rather have an unofficial or common-law marriage than a legally binding one, because I don’t need a hard-to-escape stack of contracts to certify that I love someone.
14. Do you have a crush on anyone?
Other than my boyfriend, not really. One of my professors is pretty cute but other than that, nobody right now.
37. Have you ever liked someone who your friends hated?
Yes. And I should have listened to them!
Well, to be fair, my friends didn’t hate him – they just strongly advised me not to get involved with him, because they knew it would be disastrous. And it was.
44. How many boyfriends/girlfriends have you had?
Four. Two boyfriends, one girlfriend, and one beau who was a girl when we got together but identified as male by the end of our relationship (and has since gone back to being female).
58. What are five ways to win your heart?
-Be good at music, improv, or both.
-Get visibly nervous around me from liking me so much.
-Self-identify as a queer-positive, sex-positive feminist, and do and say things that back that up.
-Give me gifts that are personally meaningful to me.
-Take care of me when I’m sick or sad.
64. What is your definition of cheating?
Deceiving your partner in order to do something sexual or romantic.
