What A Good Quiz For A Relationship Can Reveal

Can a quiz for a relationship really tell you anything you don’t already know? The answer is often yes, but you have to make sure you’re taking a well designed quiz created by someone with some real credentials.

Overall compatibility:

Don’t feel like relying on your horoscope to guide you to your soul mate? A good quiz for a relationship may not be able to tell you where your soul mate is, but it can give you an idea whether or not the person you’re with now might be it. Quiz results can give you insight into important factors like compatibility of beliefs, habits, and long-term goals.

Healthy or not?

If you’ve ever been stuck in an unhealthy relationship that involved physical or psychological abuse, no doubt you never want to be in one again. The worst thing about these situations is that it’s often hard to see where things are headed; until it is too late.

That’s where a quiz for a relationship comes in. By asking the right questions, a relationship quiz can help you pick up on early warning signs, that you and your partner may not only be incompatible, but may actually be in an unhealthy situation.

A quiz for a relationship can tell you a lot about what you and your partner have to look forward to in the near future. Just remember, though, no two relationships are the same, so no matter how accurate the test, be ready for a few surprises all the same.

Rebound Flings After a Break Up

Your good friend just broke up with a long-term partner, and within a week or two, your friend is dating someone who is clearly all wrong for them.  It’s one of the most common after effects of the end of relationships – it is called rebound dating.

The idea of rebound relationships is so embedded into the way we think about dating that it just seems natural to look for someone new after a breakup. There’s something to be said for getting back in the saddle. However, you should NOT choose a partner when your judgment is clouded. If you want to get over your ex, there are better ways to do it.

Band-Aid relationships

More often than not, we just fail to see the friendship and look for someone to fill the gap and distract us from the fact that our heart’s just been broken. But a broken heart may not in the best condition to engage in romance. In fact, jumping right in another relationship is probably not a good thing. In many cases, it may be better to find a social time-filler that doesn’t involve romance.

Maintain your standards

The best thing you can do to avoid getting involved with someone who’s all wrong for you is stick to your standards. In fact, go ahead and raise them a little just to add a safeguard. If the person you’re thinking about dating is less kind, less bright , less anything that you’d normally want – stay away.

Beware

When we look for someone to rebound with, we usually need someone fast. We don’t have time to “waste” looking for someone we really click with, so we tend to  latch  on to someone we already know and have at least some rapport with. It might be a  co-worker, or your neighborhood bartender. If you find yourself falling for someone you’ve never been the least bit drawn to before, stop and think about what’s really going on here.

Take time for yourself

Instead of filling your time with go-nowhere dates, get out and make some new friends – that’s friends – not lovers. There’s a difference. Try to get  involved in something you’ve always wanted to do but never had time for. Whatever you do, don’t sit around yearning for your ex or drowning your sorrow in booze.

Take it Easy.

Even if you are not weeping into your pillow every night, the end of a relationship will naturally make you feel like crap. It may be best not to start any key projects for a few weeks. Instead, treat yourself and do something you enjoy like skiing or bowling.

Of course, not every rebound relationship ends up a failure. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a fun fling. Remember, if you do decide to pursue a rebound relationship, make sure you’ve taken a little off by yourself and you’re not reducing your standards. Do not date the first creep who comes along. If you follow the above advice you can avoid rebound dates gone wrong.

Relationship Talk

This site is designed to look at relationships.  I will look at what works and what doesn’t. I will look at serious side as well as poke fun at the bad. Speaking of bad relationships,  I am the creator of award winning gift book,  Legs Talk: A Modern Girl’s Dating Tale. The little book that laughs at bad relationships and makes a good gift for the broken hearted girl. That is, if she needs a good laugh and a bit of witty wisdom. Sure it is the same old topic -  girl meets boy, falls for him, and  finds out he only wants one thing. Of course, she realizes she made a mistake  after she’s gone too far.  We all know the story, I just wanted to put a different twist on it. Oh did I mention the boy in the story is a leg man? Needless to say, Legs Talk is about a girl with great legs.  As a matter of fact, it is a picture book for grown ups, because we show her lovely legs throughout the book. What we don’t show is her face.  It is a visual story told from the waist down. That is why we call it Legs Talk. The legs do the talking and while the girl does the walking.   Of course, she does the walking. It is hard enough to be in a relationship, but to be in one with a leg man, could be a bit much. What was once cute and get turn into a fetish real quick. At any rate, Legs Talk: A Modern Girl’s Dating Tale is a small little book that makes a great gag gift, particularly for a break up party.
