THE SWEETHEART

SPOT HIM

• Typical interests: Music, cooking dinner for friends, reading literature
• When he's stressed, he talks about it with confidants until he finds a solution.
• He lights up if you say: "I never would have noticed that. You're so observant!"

HE'S RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

• You want your boyfriend to be a guy who truly listens, understands your girlie side, and can talk about feelings.
• You're turned on by sweet, movie-worthy romance, like slow kisses and crazy-great compliments.
• You deal with problems by honestly addressing them and taking emotions into consideration. He's a philosopher at heart, and even if you two don't agree in the end, you'll learn tons about each other during your in-depth discussions.

SYNCING UP

• His favorite dates: Atmosphere matters to this sensualist, so find a spot with a romantic vibe (try a botanical garden or outdoor jazz concert) for the real highlight: your ever-intensifying one-on-one bond.
• Relationship requirements: This nurturer tries to know everyone he meets on a deeper level, which can be rough if you're the jealous type. Also, he's so into connecting that he'll feel dissed if you don't share your problems.
• What he seeks in a soul mate: This idealist falls when he knows you value communication too. Because he tends to ruminate, you'll enhance his life by being decisive yourself.
