romanticism | You approach the potential of mating with a dreamy hope. It will be just like a romance novel!
distaste | Ugh, mating? You're going to put it off...or maybe even try not to do it at all.
imprint | That's them. That's the one. You both know it, and you can't keep away.
first | The first time you come together sets the bond in stone, not to mention sets the stage for the rest of your lives.
share | Some mates are able to communicate and share their secrets through a mental link; others have to do it the old fashioned way and just speak up.
calm | When one partner goes berserk, there's only one person in this world who can get them to settle down.
comfort | Merely being in the presence of your mate can turn your stormy day around.
heal | Scars, mental or physical, can be mended with the right love from a mate.
need | Your body is going through actual physical withdrawal due to being away from your one and only.
protect | Whether the threat be real or jealously perceived, you have to keep what's yours from harm.
obsessed | You're beyond jealous. You've taken it too far
mistake | Mating with them was not the right decision, but you can't take it back.
cheat | Despite your being mated, you've chosen to break a sacred trust and go outside the home.
death | There's not much will left to live in you after your mate has passed. Even if there was, it's not like you have much of a choice not to die.
old mated couple | You've lasted a long time. This may be your "happy ending."

• Comment with your character and your preferences. It will also probably be beneficial for you to include information about your character's size for those who aren't familiar with your canon (ie, saying "big" or "small" or "tall" or "short" in the subject line, then extrapolating in the comment). Remember, though, there may always be someone bigger or smaller!

1. Cute: The difference between you and your partner is adorable and fluffy, complete with big spoon and little spoon cuddling, carrying, and head patting.
2. Awkward: In some couplings, especially in heterosexual ones, there is an unfair expectation for one party to be taller than the other. When it's the reverse, you can sometimes get stares and cruel comments. But don't let that get you down.
3. Inadequate: Because of your size, you feel embarrassed and afraid that the person you love might not love you.
4. Don't Want to Hurt You: If the size difference is great, there can be a fear on the part of the bigger half of the couple that they might hurt the smaller half - especially in sex. How can you work around this problem?
5. Weight: Your size difference is in weight, not height.
6. Not What You Expect: In fiction and pop culture, the bigger partner is usually the dominant one. What if that's not the case in this pairing, though?
7. HUGE Difference: It's not just a foot or so difference; it's YARDS. One of you is really big and the other is tiny. No matter what, the way you care for each other is giant.
8. Aren't You Too Young?: The smaller partners can get confused for kids next to their bigger lovers, and that can be embarrassing. You want to prove to your partner that they need not worry about what other people say - you're sexy and very much not a kid (unless you are, I suppose).
9. Benefits: Having a size difference in your relationship isn't all downsides. There are perks to having a partner who can pick you up, carry you, press you against the wall...basically, this is the hot size difference sex option.
