Meh, it can be......"Kinky and stuff" could be a subset of "erotic", I suppose. As could the "love at first sight".

Something like this could potentially be sliced all day long....

I am wondering why "romantic" can't be in there... o.O

Storgic for me. I'd like to know the girl for several years, that way I'd know if I made the right decision. There's no way I could go for some girl I just meet. It's not gonna happen.

If I am totally honest, I'm erotic. But only by these definitions...

I am not kinky at all - but I get swept up easily. Fortunately, I met a guy "erotically" and married him as it involved into storgic. Is that possible?

But when I was single, I was always falling in love - and just as spontaneously - out of love.

The OKCupid test says my love style is more erotic and manic than anything else.

I think I'm manic, too. But that sounds so psycho! I'll have to take the test.

Oooooh...OKCupid is a relationship site. As a married woman, I don't think I can/should join. OK - Erotic and Manic. My final answer.

I R teh Manhore! Not really - its more about neurotic passion than gettin some - but...

My style is definitely erotic. Between that and AS, it explains most of my relationship life until now.

I would say that Storgic, is most probably the most preferable Style for an aspie.

It is certainly the way I aspire to make any future romantic connection. frnds frst

100% storgic.

Pragmatic seems too...stalkerish. :?

Stoic - Apparently unresponsive to romantic overtures, but seathing inside with unquenched passions.

I'm a combination of pragmatic, manic and storgic - More manic than the others though... :roll:

According to the definition which was first stated in this thread, definitely pragmatic (every time and always).

I have always been more than careful and because of this, nothing has never happened, but I'm not very unhappy about it, I just feel that I'm after a good match where the partner respects me and that it must have friendship in it's core. I'm heavy and dead serious about these things. I want something to last for years to come or else I'm just not interested in involving myself in a deep relationship in that way.

So far I have only dreamed about it... Hmm.. It's very, very hard. When women shows some kind of interest I often feel that I like it, but it's always hard to know if it would have a chance. (Sometimes I get confused also)

I don't take on much of a manic love, at least not more than your average individual.

When I begin dating someone I prefer a pragmatic-ludic approach. If I find things worth pursuing deeper, it ends up taking on storgic qualities as it quickly dives into agapic-erotic love.

I have no qualms with dating just to see if they're the type of person I'd be interested in. If they are, then I'll have no qualms letting agapic-erotic feelings take over.

I see nothing wrong with creating a white-washed facade, as long as it matches the interiors, and isn't there to cover up rotting wood. Besides, a glass house will just get hit by rock-wielding maniacs, and a couch in the open will suffer when the neighbor's cat mistakes it for a litter box. I took this analogy too far...
