The questions were taken from the blog "Mind of Mine". I'm sure he won't mind :)
1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
It depends in what way. If they were to cheat on me or lie to me about something serious then I would most likely cut them off and stop all contact. A while ago I would have said try to discuss it with them and find out why or what their reasons were but lately I've found it to be much more effective and less stressful to just stop making effort with those that are bad for you :)
2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
To be a successful singer/songwriter. I'm not a great singer and have only written a few songs which was purely down to a very musically inclined group of friends encouraging me to do so. I have absolutely no intention of pursuing this dream as I know I am just not talented enough but I love singing. Even when I'm awful I still really enjoy it. If I was good enough to do it for a living I would jump at the chance!
3. What is the one thing most hated by you?
Hmm, I hate a lot of things. A pet peeve of mine is when people leave stuff on sofas. Newspapers, plates, mugs, phones and particularly glasses! If you don't want you're glasses broken then do not leave them where I sit! It is the most infuriating thing. I actually just throw stuff to the other side of the room when it's left on the sofa it just really annoys me.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
This is very boring answer...but I would invest the majority of it. I would allow myself an allowance to spend and I would use the money to go through uni without getting any debt. I would DEFINITELY travel the world. I love travelling and that kind of money would give me so much freedom. Most of all I wouldn't tell anyone I had a billion dollars and I would never make it obvious by suddenly wearing diamond in-crusted shirts. I think it would come with so much expectation and make you become wrapped up in the money. I would never want a friend to expect money and I would never want myself to end up expecting something from a friend because I have given them gifts/money. I think its just simpler to keep it hidden. If I have a $100 in my bank account I don't announce it to everyone so why announce it when I have a billion :) (this careful consideration is pointless as I will never have a billion dollars...)

5. Could you fall in love with your best friend?
I have. I fell in love with my best male friend but at the same time was persuading myself that because I was so close to my best female friend I could get over the fact she was a girl and love her. I didn't.
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
When someone has had feelings for me in the past and I haven't had any for them I've always felt guilty and confused about how to handle the situation. I never like it. Plus I also find people being overly complimentary/affectionate/friendly when I don't feel the same a huge turn off. Even in terms of friendships. Not that I like people playing hard to get.

Then when I have loved someone I always go through massive highs and lows. But the feelings are of course much more intense and even if it's unrequited I for some reason appreciate the fact I feel anything at all...so based on this I would say loving someone is more blessed.
7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
If this is asking how long before I "make do" then I'll wait forever. If this is asking how long I expect to wait till I fall in love, I say I'll fall in love in the next few years. I don't believe there is a "one", just people you're more compatible with.
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
If I really liked them I would probably not do anything. Purely because if I did make a move and I was successful I would think less of the person I liked and probably not see any future relationship with them. If I was desperately in love I would perhaps tell them but not do anything while they are still coupled.

If I liked them just for sex I wouldn't make a move. I'm not going wreck someones relationship because of my lust.
9. If you'd like to act (movies, stage) with someone, who would it be?
Hmm, Ryan Gosling! I like every film I've seen him in and he's hot in a boyfriend way rather than a one night stand way. I actually find boyfriend-hot waayyy hotter :)
10. What do you expect of your loved one?
To love me. To be trustworthy but not to the extent where they must tell me everything they do but just a mutual understanding that we love and respect eachother enough not to lie or cheat. Also a relationship where, if there were problems we can openly say. I have had a few friendships like this in my life where we can openly state when there is an issue or one of us has a problem.
11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?
10 years time I will be 28. I expect I'll be working full time but will love my job. I hope I'll have a boyfriend and we will travel together and possibly live together. (I kind of hope my boyfriend is foreign but it's not a deal breaker) We won't be married or in a civil partnership. I won't live in the UK, I will have moved to a different North-western European country or Canada or somewhere like that. I'll be happy.
12. What’s your fear?
That I'll fail at my studies/career. For many years now I've had a deep fear that I'm not as clever as I'm told or my grades suggest and that I will reach a level where it's too difficult and everyone will discover I'm actually not very intelligent. I have also wondered how much of my academic/career choices have been my own and how much are down to my upbringing and the influence of my family. Whenever I have performed badly I am most concerned by disappointing my family and not achieving the same standards of my older siblings.
13. Would you rather be single and rich or married, but poor?
If I had to be single for the whole of my life, I would most certainly rather be in love (not necessarily married) and poor. As long as I wasn't so poor it had adverse effects on the love...
14. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Lie there thinking how bad my sleep was the previous night. I have an awful sleeping pattern and wake up most mornings with my alarm going of for the 15th time and feeling more tired than when I went to bed.
15. Do you ever hold back in a relationship?
I have never been in a long-term relationship with a man, only fleeting romances with girls during which I held back plenty!
16. If you fell in love with two people simultaneously, how would you pick?
I would hope I would pick the person that was best for me, or who loved me too. But in reality I would probably go for the one who I was more passionately attracted too, which in turn probably means they aren't very good for me. This is the case in the past but I've changed a lot in the past 6 months so maybe not...
17. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done?
No. It takes me quite a long time to forgive people and I never forget. There are things friends have done to me years ago that I forgave them for at the time and they won't remember but I still remember them.
18. What are your three most important expectations in love?
Mutual understanding/trust, Honesty, Attraction
