The Connector

I know a person for that.

You've introduced more couples than you've been in. Your DMs are half "you two should meet" and half rooftop party invites. You know the right bar for every vibe, the right person for every problem, the right time to text back to seem interested but not desperate. Dating you means access to a whole world—the parties, the people, the places. You're the main character's best friend who secretly has the best storyline. The shadow? You can hide behind your network. Being "the connector" is safe—you're always facilitating, rarely vulnerable. Your growth edge is letting someone know YOU, not just your contacts. The real flex is being chosen, not just being useful.

Green = strengths, Amber = growth edges

In Relationships

You bring your partner into your world—and your world is big. Dating you means access: the parties, the people, the opportunities. You're generous with your network and genuinely love making introductions that stick.

At Your Best

The ultimate hype partner. You'll champion your person to everyone, open doors they didn't know existed, and make them feel like the most interesting person in every room.

At Your Worst

Hiding behind your network. You're so good at facilitating that you forget to be vulnerable. You know everyone but does anyone really know you?

What You Need From a Partner

Someone who sees past your social persona. A partner who's interested in the you that exists when the party's over and everyone's gone home.

Your Love Language

Gifts—but not material. You gift experiences, introductions, opportunities. You show love by expanding their world.
