About This Quiz

Love can be a beautiful thing in the dating world, but why do so many people make it painful? Maybe they're not ready to take the next step in the relationship, but most of the time, it has to do with clashing personalities. This is where the word "chemistry" comes into play since it has to do with two people being (and feeling) compatible with each other. Sometimes, chemistry doesn't happen in a relationship until several weeks or months later. But other times, it can happen instantly, like a "love at first sight" movie moment.

However, having chemistry with someone doesn't mean that these two personalities have to be alike. In fact, the phrase "opposites attract" still stands for a reason, because some differences may help to balance the relationship out. But this doesn't always work either, since the two personalities need to have some similarities, such as the same interests and hobbies. At the end of the day, though, it really depends on your personality type and what you want out of a relationship. So whether you're stuck in the "It's complicated" phase or you're single and ready to mingle, it's time for you to take this fun dating quiz now!
