1. How many times have you truly been in love?
There's a good example of an impossible question. "In love" is completely subjective, highly-self-interpretive, and hopeless to realize unless you truly believe it's happening to you right that minute. Hindsight, of course, after the "in" has fallen off, is much more accurate. After the "love" drops away, then you have love-eyes like a hawk and can pinpoint the exact moment when you lost your judgement, your mind, and most of your bank account.
2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?
That person would be the GM1, and outside of the absolutely open, accepting-of-me-nasty-aspects-and-all glorious person he is, I'd have to say he's the most honorable man I know of. That includes the Pope, whom I've never met but I understand him to be a really nice guy and a hell of a shuffleboard player.
3. What qualities should a significant other have?
Adaptability, to the changes that the both of you will go through. And pockets full of cheese.
4. Have you ever broken someone's heart?
Oh god, I hope so. I hope he suffered and writhed in the agony of loneliness and never ever found fulfillment or true love again and had a lot of flat tires on deserted highways on rainy nights. You know who you are. You prick.
5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?
Be patient, never settle for less than you really feel right about, and never impulse buy a fixer-upper (I have mentioned my three exes, have I not? Bleh.)
