Love IQ Challenge: Do Emotions Rule Your Relationship Decisions?
Seeing your partner like their ex’s bikini pic on Instagram, you:
Comment immediately: "You think they look better than me?" @them (emotion first)
Screenshot and ask: "Accidental like, or something you want to talk about?" (calm verification)
Forward to a mutual friend: "Is this normal behavior?" (external validation)
Note it and observe: "One like isn’t definitive—watch their behavior this week." (rational filing)
On the first date, they say, "I’m not fully over my ex yet." Your reaction:
"Then we’re wasting time," pay and leave (Timely stop loss)
"Would you like to share how you’re feeling?" (open communication)
Text your bestie: "Help! They’re not over their ex—should I keep dating?" (advice-dependent)
Weigh risks: "70% move on in 3 months—I can give them time." (probability thinking)
After a fight, they say, "We need a week apart." You:
Apologize immediately: "No need to cool off! I’m sorry—let’s fix this now." (fear of loss)
Reply "Okay, let’s video chat in a week to discuss." (respecting boundaries)
Ask their roommate: "How’s their mood? Have they mentioned me?" (over-involvement)
Create a "cooling-off plan": gym + new skills daily to avoid rumination (self-enrichment)
Seeing their dating app profile says "looking for open relationships" while you’re flirting, you:
Confront aggressively: "Are you trying to cheat?" (attacking assumption)
Invite them to talk: "I saw your profile—what does this mean to you?" (curiosity-driven)
Send the screenshot: "Seems we’re not on the same page," and block them (rapid cutoff)
Analyze stats: "Open relationships have 65% higher breakup rates—I need to reassess." (data-driven decision)
After 3 months, they haven’t posted a single photo of you online. You:
Demand a couple pic: "Are you ashamed to be with me?" (emotional blackmail)
Joke: "Am I your secret album exclusive?" (playful probing)
Check their follows: "500 influencers—no wonder they don’t post me." (over-interpretation)
Communicate needs: "I’d like to appear in your socials occasionally—it matters to me." (clear expression)
When they say, "I think I’m falling for someone else," your first reaction:
Throw things and yell: "How could you do this to me?!" (impulsive aggression)
Breathe and ask: "What do you mean by ’falling for’? Can we fix this?" (rational deconstruction)
DM the "rival": "Stay away—we’re not broken up!" (chaotic intervention)
Start "cost-benefit analysis": "Time to save vs. future happiness odds—need to evaluate calmly." (decision modeling)
Planning a weekend trip, they say, "My ex invited me to the same city." You:
Cancel the trip: "Can’t go—I’m not in the mood now." (passive avoidance)
Propose joining: "We’re going anyway—meet your ex, let’s reunite at night." (clear boundaries)
Stalk ex’s socials: "Is there another reason they’re going?" (trust spiral)
Renegotiate: "Prioritize ex meetup or our trip? We can adjust plans." (needs alignment)
On your anniversary, they forget to prepare a gift. You:
Lose your temper: "You don’t care about us at all!" (instant emotional outburst)
Joke: "Guess I’m getting an ’air gift’ this year?" (embarrassment relief)
Text mutual friends: "They forgot our anniversary—do they even love me?" (validation-seeking)
Discuss later: "Anniversaries matter to me—let’s set reminders next time." (solution-oriented)
At a friend’s party, they publicly joke about your "weight gain." You:
Retort: "Your beer belly is pretty obvious too!" (impulsive retaliation)
Smile: "That’s a bit hurtful," and change the topic (gentle correction)
Give silent treatment for 3 days: "Embarrassed me in front of friends—unforgivable." (passive aggression)
Talk privately: "I know it’s a joke, but public weight comments hurt—can we avoid that?" (rational feedback)
Describe your decision style with a Western dating meme:
"Shoot first, ask questions never" (act first, regret later)
"Adulting in relationships: communicate, don’t escalate" (mature talk, no drama)
"My friends know best" (friends = gospel)
"Spreadsheet dating: pros and cons list" (dating with Excel sheets)
