I found this posted on the Toxic Relationships board, and found it interesting. I'm sure all of us here could pick out various "profiles" in the descriptions that fit someone we might've known or dated at one time. Or maybe we can spot something about ourselves in there that we need to change, in order to become a more dateable person.

As I read through there, I was also thinking about the Love Languages and how even those could be stretched to the negative if taken to the extreme. Like the 'Jill' who expected gifts all the time from her 'Jack'... it's the Love Language of Gift-giving (receiving) taken too far. Just interesting to consider.


I've never been to that other board until today, just surfing iV out of a coffee-induced ADHD
