In case you don’t already know what your dating personality is, OKCupid is happy to figure out for you with the help of some obvious and bizarre questions about your approach to love.
I was the maid of honor, which they describe as the deliberate gentle love master. To borrow a comment from Jenn at Freed and Flawed, who graciously pointed out the quiz and was also the maid of honor: “Um…what does that mean? I’m the master of being gentle on purpose? Okay.”
OKCupid’s explanation:
Deliberate Gentle Love Master (DGLM)
Appreciated for your kindness and envied for all your experience, you are The Maid of Honor.
Charismatic, affectionate, and terrific in relationships, you are what many guys would call a “perfect catch”–and you probably have many admirers, each wishing to capture your long-term love. You’re careful, extra careful, because the last thing you want is to hurt anyone. Especially some poor boy whose only crime was liking you.
We’ve deduced you’re fully capable of a dirty fling, but you do feel that post-coital attachment after hooking up. So, conscientious person that you are, you do your best to reserve physical affection for those you respect…so you can respect yourself.
Your biggest negative is the byproduct of your careful nature: indecision. You’re just as slow rejecting someone as you are accepting them.
Always avoid: The False Messiah (DBLM), The 5-Night Stand (DBSM), The Vapor Trail (RBLM), The Bachelor (DGSM)
Consider: The Gentleman (DGLM), someone just like you.

There you have it.
It does recommend I date the “gentleman,” which seems to describe my modern beau, so I guess that works out.
I’ve been quoted, woo hoo!
Your thoughts so eloquently echoed my own 🙂
