Love Idealism Test: Projecting Anime Archetypes onto Real Partners?
            
            
            
            
         
                
                    
                    
                        For the first date, you hope their outfit is closer to:
                    
                    
                            
                                Sheldon's iconic plaid shirt + backpack from The Big Bang Theory
                            
                            
                                Casual wear with subtle geeky touches (e.g., a Marvel T-shirt)
                            
                            
                                Comfort first, no specific style preference
                            
                            
                                Specifically ask them to dress like Peter Parker's campus style from Spider-Man
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        When they comfort you with "Everything's gonna be okay," your first reaction is:
                    
                    
                            
                                Flustered, reminds you of Chandler's humorous comfort in Friends
                            
                            
                                Warm, but no specific TV character comes to mind
                            
                            
                                Unmoved, focus on their physical support (e.g., offering a beer)
                            
                            
                                Annoyed: "That sounds like a TV line—be more real."
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        After an argument, you expect a Jon Snow-style "humble apology," but they just text to make up. You:
                    
                    
                            
                                Disappointed, think "Real relationships lack drama"
                            
                            
                                Slightly let down, but suggest "Let's talk at our usual board game café"
                            
                            
                                Don't care, just glad to reconcile regardless of form
                            
                            
                                Directly say, "I want an in-person talk, like the tense scenes in TV shows."
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        Seeing them clumsily make a sandwich, you think of:
                    
                    
                            
                                Walter White's meticulous cooking in Breaking Bad, wishing they were as organized
                            
                            
                                Find it cute, tease "Need me to teach you 'superhero sandwich-making'?"
                            
                            
                                Take over: "I'll cook—you choose tonight's esports stream."
                            
                            
                                Complain: "Why can't you cook like the chefs in MasterChef? "
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        You hope their daily speaking style is more like:
                    
                    
                            
                                Din Djarin's High Cold Monotone from The Mandalorian
                            
                            
                                Natural with occasional Rick and Morty memes (e.g., "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!")
                            
                            
                                Practical and direct, e.g., "Pizza or burgers for dinner?"
                            
                            
                                Specifically ask them to mimic Loki's mischievous tone
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        They forget your 100-day anniversary. You:
                    
                    
                            
                                Think of Stefan remembering every date in The Vampire Diaries, feel sad "They don't value me enough"
                            
                            
                                Remind them: "We can set a reminder in Xbox Calendar next time."
                            
                            
                                Think anniversaries are just formalities, say "Let's game tonight to celebrate."
                            
                            
                                Angry: "Even Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory is more attentive! "
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        When they stutter nervously at Comic-Con, you:
                    
                    
                            
                                Wish they were as confident as Iron Man in Avengers
                            
                            
                                Find their realness cute, help them out: "He was asking where the Deadpool actor is."
                            
                            
                                Ignore, focus on the convention, let them adjust
                            
                            
                                Dislike: "Why can't you be as poised as Wonder Woman?"
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        Planning the weekend, you prefer:
                    
                    
                            
                                Hoping for a retro adventure like Hawkins in Stranger Things
                            
                            
                                Discussing activities you both enjoy, e.g., convention booths + Fortnite night at home
                            
                            
                                Doing separate things: they play World of Warcraft, you watch Star Wars docs
                            
                            
                                Asking them to recreate a Gotham night date from Batman
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        When they give you a gift, you care more about:
                    
                    
                            
                                Whether it's as perfect as Stark's geeky gifts (e.g., limited-edition figurines)
                            
                            
                                The personal touch, like a note: "Knew you love Deadpool—this Funko Pop is so you"
                            
                            
                                Practicality, e.g., a wrist rest for your mechanical keyboard
                            
                            
                                Complain: "Why isn't it as epic as the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones? "
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        You think ideal couple interactions are closer to:
                    
                    
                            
                                Ross and Rachel's "epic romance" + dramatic misunderstandings from Friends
                            
                            
                                A real-life equal relationship with occasional Harry Potter cosplay fun
                            
                            
                                Independent individuals with practical cooperation, like Walt and Skyler in Breaking Bad
                            
                            
                                Specifically asking them to play the "Marvel perfect partner" role (e.g., Captain America's absolute loyalty)
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        When they make a mistake, you hope their apology is like:
                    
                    
                            
                                Jay's serious apology from Modern Family: "I need to apologize for what I said."
                            
                            
                                A straightforward real-life apology: "Sorry, I was wrong—won't happen again."
                            
                            
                                Making amends with actions (e.g., upgrading your gaming gear), rarely verbalizing
                            
                            
                                Complain: "Why can't you apologize as smoothly as Coulson in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? "
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        When sharing The Mandalorian with them, you hope they:
                    
                    
                            
                                Cosplay as Din Djarin for role-play
                            
                            
                                Discuss the plot seriously, occasionally mimicking lines
                            
                            
                                Watch with you but not engage in role-play
                            
                            
                                Refuse: "Space westerns aren't as realistic as Westworld."
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        When they're sick, you think of:
                    
                    
                            
                                Shaun's meticulous care in The Good Doctor, hoping to replicate that devotion

                                Don't interfere, as long as you can pay rent and game together

                        You think couple "romantic surprises" should:
                    
                    
                            
                                Be as heartfelt as Joey's cologne gift for Chandler in Friends
                            
                            
                                Be simple yet geeky, like building your favorite Star Wars Lego set
                            
                            
                                Not necessary, prefer grinding game raids
                            
                            
                                Bearing surprises - I want an endgame level drama! "
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        They're introverted and shy in social settings. You:
                    
                    
                            
                                Wish they'd open up like Howard in The Big Bang Theory
                            
                            
                                Find their introversion cute, actively include them in convention cosplay
                            
                            
                                Respect their pace, attend gaming parties alone
                            
                            
                                Complain: "Why can't you be as popular as Hawkeye?"
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        Watching Game of Thrones together, you focus more on:
                    
                    
                            
                                The main couple's dynamics, hoping to replicate them
                            
                            
                                The plot, occasionally discussing character relationships
                            
                            
                                Battle scenes, not the romance
                            
                            
                                Criticize: "No such complex power romances exist in real life."
                            
                     
                 
                
                    
                    
                    
                        Final question: The impact of "TV/superhero perfect partners" on real relationships is:
                    
                    
                            
                                An ideal template, striving to make your partner fit it
                            
                            
                                A romantic inspiration, borrowing ideas but accepting real differences
                            
                            
                                Meaningless, real love needs no template
                            
                            
                                A childish fantasy, firmly rejecting any association
