    I don't believe in true equal likeness in a relationship. I feel there's always going to be one person that likes the other one more. This kind of love is rare and probably don't foster up until later into relationships.

    Which do you prefer? Or which are you?

    Do you like your partner more than your partner likes you?
    Or does your partner like you more than you like them?

    Would you feel more superior being liked more and would you feel more inferior if you liked them more?

    Although proving such a thing is subjective and hard to gauge... let's just say hypothetically.

    Moses + Maggie couple in The Last Steep Ascent. Fictional reference but a true story. I feel that's a balance of equal likeness towards each other.

    With that being said, it's rare to come by.

    I'm generally the person who likes the other person less. I'd say that makes me feel guilty and sad about it. But there's always room for change! What matters in the moment, though, is that you like each other.

    This has been a debate topic for several contests. Is similar to say will you marry someone that you love more or someone that loves you more?

    For different reasons I dated girls that liked me more than I'll liked them, at the beginning it was ok but with time it becomes a bit boring and also you just dont feel the same way. In the relationship I am now, I feel I like the girl more, since I was the one that started everything and it feels a lot better, since you really want this girl and you had to work hard for it. Just my personal opinion i think you value more the things that were harder to get.

    You know who rules in a relationship?
    It's the one that would ask questions the most!

    I am currently in a relationship where I feel we are quite balanced but I am very cautious. I've often been the one who liked the other more- and sadly I had a few bad experiences so now I try to stop myself from falling fast and hard- or being too lovey dovey. Operating by rationality over heart can really save you sometimes. :)

    I don't know actually, but I know I like to have a girlfriend - that simple. And, then in the relationship....see wat happens.

    Not based on romance, candle light dinner, costly gifts or walks along the beach.

    In fact, it is based on Respect, Compromise, Care and Trust"
