Where it feels easy
Reading signals
Two Laid-back people stay calm through slow replies, so things feel peaceful. The catch: the small signals you send each other are easy to miss.
Sending feelings
When you're both Expressive, the good and the hard get said right away, so things feel lively, and when you clash you tend to sort it out on the spot. Research says couples who argue hot and repair fast can go the distance. The catch: on big-feeling days you can talk over each other and leave little room to listen.
Beliefs about love
Two Kismet people trust the first spark together, so the start is intense. The catch: the first real fight can make you both wonder whether you were ever right for each other.
