That's sad about being jaded about love, is that just in relationships or family and friends as well? @Caustic: According to the definition above, what we initially feel isn’t real love but rather infatuation and when it fades that’s when we can chose to love.
That’s sad about being jaded about love, is that just in relationships or family and friends as well?

Note: Don't mind me, I am a bit jaded concerning love as of late. The quote about love is more fitting for when the love ends as when you are in love you hardly notice those things.

Don't sweat it my dear, now that you know what type of person to look for you will find them....as for me I'm in the middle of my castration process but I am discovering that it is quite painful ;) .

I did come out fighting with that answer, didn't I? I guess I have something of a cause in fighting for the nice guy (remember the "nice guy never gets the gal" post?). That indignant energy comes from experience being a magnet for jerks and thinking that they are nice but misguided people but finding out, luckily quickly enough, that they really are just empty barrels making loud noises.... but er...I think I'll rest my case now...I'm even scaring myself lol hmmm…I am a bit nutty…but I believe I can turn it on and off ;-) ahem!

Thanks for putting all that effort into making me see the bright side of the whole "Boy Next Door" thing. Well...you see I can't even say anything bad about it, I will just snap off Mr. Happy put him in a big glass jar and take pride in the heart that I have, it's better than being "the last man alive anyway". I will take your word for it in regards to you being normal ;) @gal: Wow! Thanks for putting all that effort into making me see the bright side of the whole “Boy Next Door” thing.

Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold." Woiiiiye...ok in light of things maybe I shouldn't be saying woiiiiye loooool I do see why you're disgruntled....ati "creepy man next door"...I'm NOT celebrating any SUCH transition...it's just NOT going to happen! I don't know how I can stop it but by golly...we! Really! Seriously! I'm getting very disappointed with women (myself included but less so after my enlightenment) ...we complain and complain about crappy men and stand by while nice "boys next door" suffer the reality of potentially becoming "creepy men"! Disappointed! Having said that, lets concentrate on the good stuff in the results: "your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date" I can vouch for that! You are the author of a fun and informative blog, that I happen to be somewhat addicted to and seeing as I'm somewhat of a normal gal (you'll have take my word) then my vote counts of countless women out there. Basta! "most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate" In the real world the clever gals have a clear idea (written on paper even) of their ideal mate and would recognize and snap up the boy next door...so chances are you'll end up with a clever gal who knows without a doubt that you are what she wants! What could be better???? "As we said, many find true love" no translation needed. Now STOP whining. LOL ROFLMAO! specifically about “A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold.”

On a serious tip though, before I took that test that is the last thing I would have pegged myself as. It just took me by surprise. @Kelly: Thank you for the words of consolation, I am still traumatized.
