The loner aspect has complicated and attributed to almost every relationship breakup I've had. I'm starting to become convinced that I need to date another five in order to find someone who understands that introvert does not mean stuck up or low self esteem. The only question is, where the hell do you meet another five? Has anyone else had any luck? Any advice? Knowing me, past boyfriends, and our friends, you can probably find us fives at bookstores, libraries or musuems, and you can deduct a lot by what section at Barnes & Noble's you see someone in. Philosophy might be a good section. Two Fives can get along well because they can discuss religion, society and how the cucumber is an underrated vegetable. Don't ask a commitment out of fives because it's not a first priority. Relationships mean mental stimulation--not a year-long commitment. Don't overwhelm him if you find him, and have something earth-shatteringly smart to say if he's still absorbed in 'The Social Contract.' And don't assume that because he likes museums he's not good boyfriend material. Besides, you what they say about a guy with a big brain...
