Compatibility
LIGO × LEGO compatibility
We do not score pairs or say 'a good match' or 'a bad match'. Whatever the combination, each person has something they can do.
Where it feels easy
LEGO and LIGO both protect their own time and believe a relationship is built together, so a loose but steady rhythm suits them.
Where it bumps
LEGO says “Let's change this” right away, LIGO wants to think slowly, and while each goes about their own days, the conversation fizzles out.
What each can do when it bumps
The LEGO can
Make the suggestion as a gentle request, and agree together on roughly when you'd like to hear back.
The LIGO can
If you need time, say when to expect your answer, and bring the topic back up yourself on that day.
This pairing was written by hand.

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.
Beliefs about love
Two Grow people treat problems as things to fix together, which makes them the most persistent through rough patches. The catch: constant tune-ups can crowd out time just to enjoy each other.
Closeness
When you both lean Own space, you protect each other's room without having to ask, which feels easy. The catch: you can slowly drift apart and neither of you notices.
Where it bumps
Sending feelings
The Expressive one sends feelings outward and works things through out loud; the Internal one lets them settle inside before passing them on. In a hurt moment, the more one pushes to talk, the more the other goes quiet — the demand-withdraw loop. Research says that loop, when it keeps repeating, is among the patterns most closely linked to relationships unraveling, and that a warm response to a partner's good news builds closeness.
- Expressive
- Start soft: a request, not a complaint — not “You always…” but “That stung a bit — could we try it this way?” And count their quiet care as affection too.
- Internal
- Instead of just going silent, promise to come back: “I can't sort this out right now — can we talk in two hours?” When they share good news, say something out loud, even one line.
