Why do I have romantic relationships? What do I get out of them? What do I consider essential, indispensable elements of a relationship? Are there specific kinds of relationships that I know I am looking for? Kinds that I know I don't want? What do I bring to the table for others? What makes me feel cherished, loved and secure? What makes me afraid in relationships? Why? In what ways do I protect myself from being hurt? Do those strategies help or hinder my search for connection?
