About This Quiz

The dating world has changed so much over the last years, and with the evolution of dating come a lot of questions about how to get back into the game. However, when it comes to modern dating, there may be a lot of things you think are left to chance, but the truth is that the laws of attraction are based more on personality these days.

You don't have to be a social butterfly to be considered datable, but you don't necessarily have to be bold or a show-off either. As a matter of fact, nearly every personality has some level of dateability; it's all about finding someone that you are compatible with. This is less difficult for some than others, although we'd like to believe that there is someone for everyone out there.

It is always important to remember that there are plenty of fish in the sea, and you are one of them. There is someone out there looking for you ... building their perfect person with all the specs you own. However, your personality tells a lot about how far you'll swim to find the ideal mate that is looking for you.
