55%Slow warm-up

Same scoring formula every pairing gets — no thumb on the scale.

What pushes the % up
  • · The Theorist names affection plainly before the Hostess has to go looking for it with a tiny lantern.
  • · The Hostess treats the Theorist's strongest habit as care first, not a personal inconvenience.
  • · Both make plans clear enough to trust, then leave one pocket open for the night to breathe.
  • · They praise the useful little things: the text, the ride, the remembered snack, the changed tone.
What drops the % fast
  • · The Theorist turns one awkward moment into a full relationship weather alert.
  • · The Hostess answers a tender question with logistics and calls that obvious love.
  • · One bird changes the plan, the other bird changes the temperature of the whole room.
  • · They compete over whose way of caring is more real instead of noticing both are trying.
