The 16 Love Weathers

The Love Weather quiz describes how you date through four tendencies: whether feelings arrive fast or slow, whether you want closeness or room to breathe, whether you say your love or show it, and whether you talk right after a fight or cool off first. Put the four together and you get 16 love weathers.
