Like Romantic Idealists, high scorers place emphasis on immediate chemistry. However, whereas Romantic Idealists are driven by a fairy-tale take on romance, Daring Lovers are driven by play and experimentation. This doesn’t mean that they are not interested in long-term relationships; rather that they want a fun, casual feel to romance and likely need a partner that feels the same way.
In love, these people are playful and free. They see love as a fun game to be played and lead with their hearts over their heads, though without necessarily needing strings or attachment.
