How close are you to meeting your soul mate?
Tick the statements you most agree with:

I have a few ideas about what I want my future partner to be like

I have a clear vision of the partner I am going to be with

I know what I don't want but am not sure about what I really want in a future partner

The most energy I put into meeting a partner is sitting around with mates moaning and talking about it.

I go out to bars and clubs and meet potential dates through friends and work

I spend some time every month doing something towards meeting a potential partner such as going to different places and widening my social circle.

I actively try different ways to meet potential partners such as internet dating, speed dating, taking up new interests and doing things on my own.

I currently prioritise other areas of my life such as work, family and friends over meeting my soul mate

I try to avoid rejection at all costs and find it difficult to approach someone of the opposite sex who I don't already know or have been introduced to.

I do something at least once a week to meet potential partners such as talking to strangers and trying out new things such as speed dating.

I'm open and friendly but dread a guy/girl rejecting me after a first date

I would rather have a few things sorted in my life before committing to a long-term relationship but will see what happens

I need to get myself sorted out before I'm ready to meet anyone.

I handle rejection by not taking it personally and remembering that there are plenty more opportunities out there.

I'm ready to commit to a long-term relationship and open to all opportunities

I'm very fussy and am not willing to compromise on what I think I want.

I know what I want but am willing compromise

I've put myself through so much in the past that I'm not ready to trust anyone yet

I know what I ideally want, can tolerate and what I absolutely cannot tolerate

I have moved on and forgiven my ex's and value what we had together

I've moved on from my past relationships but still have a lot of contact with my ex and couldn't imagine them not being in my life.
