What does your romance trope mean?
The romance genre is full of tropes we love, hate, and love to hate. In this quiz, we assign you a genre based on your personality, and here's what your potential results mean for you!
Enemies to Lovers
You take a long time to warm up to someone, but once you do, you're inseparable. You choose your friends carefully and your romances cautiously, and you keep your heart guarded until the right time. Of course, the right time will find you, and not the other way around. Eventually, the things you dislike about someone become the very things you admire about them, and while you can be quick to dismiss someone, you find yourself thinking about them over and over again. Funny how love works like that!
Forbidden Love
You always want most what you can't have. That's just being human! But you won't let that stop you. When you set your mind to something, you chase it with everything you've got. You're stubborn and don't know when to quit, which also happens to be your biggest strength. You won't let something good go so easily, and you'll fly in the face of destiny in order to shape your own fate, because isn't that what love is?
Destined Soulmates
You put your faith in destiny and your trust in fate. You believe that if it's meant to be, it'll be, and if it's not, then it's time to let go. But in the meantime, you're going to do whatever it takes to tip the scales in your favor. After all, the wheel of fortune favors those who keep on spinning. There's comfort in knowing it's out of your hands, but there's joy in trying your best and shooting your shot, anyway.
Fake Relationship
You're a fake-it-till-you-make-it kind of person, and there's nothing wrong with that! In fact, most people could learn a thing or two from you. You know how to envision the life you want and act accordingly until it falls into your lap. After all, what's the difference between acting and the real thing? It's just a matter of faith. Life is what you make it, so make it your own. And hey, even if it doesn't work out, you got a taste of it, and you can knock it out of the park next time.
Amnesia
You're the kind of person who has to learn a lesson over and over again. Don't get us wrong, that's not a bad thing! It just means that when you do finally get it, you get it for good, and you appreciate what you have more than others. Life, and love, is all about the journey, the pitfalls, the peaks, and the drama, not just the destination. Once you do get what you want, you'd do it all over again in a heartbeat because the journey was half the fun, and you'd do it even better the next time.
Secret Identity
You're something of a shapeshifter. You're constantly reinventing yourself and becoming a new person, trying on identities like outfits to see which one fits. It's not fake or inauthentic, it's a fake-it-till-you-make-it situation. Your best self is out there somewhere, and somewhere out there is someone waiting to fall in love with that self. Just like in the movies, though, they fall for the disguise first, and then they fall for the person behind the mask, so just be sure to let it drop at some point!
