I too assume this question is gonna gauge my neediness to be all up in and around them if we happen to start dating, so I answer it frankly. I am one of those people who enjoy spending time with my S.O. but also like time with my family, the girls and alone. I just make sure to remain sweet and let them know I like together time, as much down time

[eharmony] I always receive this question and I have a hard time answering it. As Carrie said, I feel as though they are trying to find out if I am needy and truth is it really depends on the person and how much I enjoy being around then. I really dont like this question but with every match I have received this question.

I always assume they’re asking to see if I’M the needy one! LOL I usually say something like, “When you’re single you have lots of personal space. The togetherness time will work itself out as the relationship progresses.”

I ALWAYS ask that question. Why? Well I have had my fair share of guys without a life that need to be with me ALL the time. They call at least 3-4 times a day, refuse to go out with my friends or for me to go out with them, he always just wants to spend time with me alone.
Sorry, but if you are that needy, it ain’t going to work.

My answer: “Between C and D but as the relationship progresses, I would lean towards B”.

I don’t use this as one of my canned questions but I get asked it a fair amount. I understand it because I have been in relationships where I feel smothered (and I am a woman) so if I DID ask it and someone replied with “A” I might reconsider continuing communication.

I always answer that with something along the lines of “I’m very flexible. It depends on both of our schedules , prior commitments and preferences”.
