The Enigma

I don't need to prove anything.

You're not trying to be mysterious—you just don't feel the need to perform. You listen more than you talk, you're successful but don't lead with it, and you've never once humble-bragged about your ARR. People are drawn to you precisely because you're not trying to draw them in. There's something magnetic about someone who's genuinely unbothered. Dating you feels like being let into something private—a privilege, not a pitch. The flip side? You can be impossible to read, and that's not always your partner's job to decode. Your walls feel like self-sufficiency, but sometimes they're just walls. The growth edge is letting people in before they've fully proven themselves—because vulnerability is how the good ones stick around.

Green = strengths, Amber = growth edges

In Relationships

You're not playing hard to get—you're genuinely hard to get. Your attention is earned, not given freely. When you finally let someone in, it means something. Being chosen by you feels like a privilege.

At Your Best

Magnetic without trying. Your self-sufficiency is attractive, your standards are high, and your commitment—when you give it—is unshakeable.

At Your Worst

Your walls can feel like rejection. People can't tell if you're interested or just tolerating them. You might wait too long to show you care and lose someone who needed more.

What You Need From a Partner

Someone patient enough to earn your trust but secure enough not to need constant validation. A partner who doesn't take your privacy personally.

Your Love Language

Physical Touch or Acts of Service—you show love through presence and action, not words. When you do something for someone, pay attention.

Green Flags You Look For

  • Respects your boundaries
  • Secure in their own identity
  • Notices what you do, not what you say
