Compatibility Questions Aren't Everything
Relationship compatibility questions won't tell you for sure if you have found your soulmate. The only way for you to know is to spend time with your love interest and see how the relationship evolves. You can use compatibility questions to help you conclude if someone is worth pursuing but don't rely on it to decide if you should end a relationship. Just have fun getting to know your future or current love interest!
