Negotiator Lover

You know the type: Negotiators are imaginative, intuitive, empathetic,
and emotionally expressive, and have good verbal and social skills.
Most strikingly, these people see the big picture with all the options.
Famous examples: Bill Clinton, Gandhi, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw.
Under the influence: Estrogen (the so-called female sex hormone,
though, again, it's found in both genders) plays
an important role in the Negotiator's character.
Longs for: A soul mate.
Bonds well with: Directors (no wonder Hillary and Bill are still together).
If you are a Negotiator: Watch out for your inclination to
be so diplomatic that you appear spineless. And avoid drowning your date
in a verbal deluge. If you have met someone you like, don't over think
the situation, endlessly going over the pros and cons.
Ultimately it's important for you not to settle for anything
but a deeply meaningful, authentic relationship.
If you're dating one: Keep in mind that Negotiators
aren't always direct, so read between the lines. Avoid being
competitive with them. And don't hesitate to talk about yourself:
These people love hearing about what you're thinking and feeling.
Above all, they will fall for you if you stimulate their imagination.

You know the type: Explorers crave adventure and are willing to take risks. Highly curious, creative, energetic, spontaneous, they have many interests—from hiking and spelunking to theater and reading.

Famous examples: John F. Kennedy, Princess Diana, Angelina Jolie.

Under the influence: The Explorer's behavior is largely affected by the brain chemical dopamine, which is a key player in our experience of pleasure and novelty. Longs for: A playmate.

Bonds well with: Other Explorers.

If you are an Explorer: My advice is to go slowly. Because you're so impulsive, you can get romantically involved too fast. And because you hate confrontation, you risk bolting from a relationship that could prove fantastic. If you find someone you are genuinely interested in, check your inclination to go out with others, and focus your energy on him or her.

If you're dating one: Be prepared to live this romance one day at a time. Remain flexible, and know that for your partner, "dullness is a misdemeanor," as novelist Ethel Wilson astutely put it.
