Your Type
You treat dating as an absurd reality show, finding it more amusing the weirder they act, always making friends with a bystander's mindset. This detachment of "always keeping an audience perspective" is actually a protective coloration you use to escape "true intimate relationships"; you fear that once you show your vulnerable self, you'll be judged or rejected, so you choose to hide in the safe position of a "bystander," using humor and sarcasm to cover up your cowardice in commitment. But sitting in the audience will never let you experience the protagonist's profound joys and sorrows. Try sincerely sharing a small flaw or embarrassing story of your own on future dates; when you learn to step into the center stage, your romance will have a real plot.
