Tabitha, I took the free gazillion-question quiz at one of those sites myself once, out of curiosity about what the results would say. It was so far off that it was outlandish; so far off that even *I* couldn't take it personally and stress out about it (and that's saying a LOT). Not the kind of stuff one might just be "in denial" about either -- things one just knows for sure about themselves by a certain age.
Similar in off-baseness to what fayeroe said. My results said, to name just one thing, that my potential beloved was going to have to understand that I would always want big groups of people and friends around us. Whereas in reality, I'm so content alone, for unlimited periods, that my beloved himself would be lucky if I wanted him around much lol. (I do recall being just a *hair* more positive in my answers than I was feeling in reality at that moment, for that very reason. But, just a *hair.*)
Easier said than done but please try not to take it to heart; I know beyond a doubt that those computerized tests can be off by whole galaxies! Also, while "less loving" is in fact a tactless way to put it, I'm proud of and have often been complimented on my in-fact loving, yet never smothering or needy, ways. That's how I would take that statement if I were you, as a type of compliment, and exactly what some guys are looking for. (They probably just wouldn't put it that way, and neither should the site have!)
