A relationship doesn't always work out and it's usually for the better of both people because they don't belong together. In class, everyone points out what they would want in a person. And honestly, I don't think it's all about the personality. The looks pay into a relationship as well.

I think that everybody should look for a person that they like and not what their parents think all the time.

In my mind you need to know the person that's going to be your match because if you don't know anything about them you might find out you don't like them. Even if you think you know them you probably don't and you might find something that you're not a fan of.

This relates to Romeo and Juliet because Romeo was looking for a "perfect match" which to him at the time was the other girl Rosaline. So he didn't realize that his "perfect match" could actually be Juliet.

The odds are that you might not find that perfect match and that you have to change and grow through relationships so that relationships will work out and that means that both people might have to change in able to maybe grow into that perfect match that both people want.

people have certain things that they want in their partner but they rarely get all of it. romeo thought that he would never love anyone that's not exactly like the one girl in the beginning, but he did end up loving Juliet so he did not get what he wanted but still was very satisfied

I think that the perfect match needs to be loyal, kind, attractive, and have good personality. Romeo and Juliet obviously find each other as a "Perfect Match". Romeo and Juliet have similar standards as me most likely because they are for the most part, common.

Attractive, likable, not taller than me, open personality, brown or blonde hair, not skinny, female, diverse. Those are all qualities that are particularly attractive to me. What is important especially in Romeo and Juliet is that the bond and the love between the two characters is strong.

this relates to Romeo and Juliet by how Romeo was trying to find is a perfect match and he finds that in Juliet. this makes me think about people and how they need to find their match even though it is very hard.

You should enjoy spending time with them and they should be your best friend. For many people I think it comes down to personality because no one finds every physical trait they look for in someone.

The biggest takeaway from this activity is that we and our parents may have drastically different ideas of what we want or what's right for us relationship-wise.

It relates because Romeo and Juliet are very nice to each other and their personalities which is the same as well as my match survey. This makes me think that just like their relationship not all are perfect.

I think that sometimes your ideal perfect match may not be who you end up with and you may realize that they could be completely different than your ideal spouse. But I think a perfect match needs to be kind, make you a better person, and have a good personality.

You might not find that perfect match and that you have to change and grow through relationships. Relationships are complicated and can be weird or can be good, can make you happy. You will always have to fix it.

When Romeo fell in love with Rosaline he was pathetic but he still chased after her and they eventually got together but that won't always happen they were separated and it crushed Romeo's heart to the point of suicide when he thought she died he killed himself but what I think people can take away from this is don't be too obsessed with someone as it may not always work out.

The most essential thing to share regarding the Perfect Match handout is whatever makes you happy and your significant other happy. Romeo and Juliet's situation relates to my experience because Romeo and myself are looking for a significant other and once he finds Juliet they fall in love unlike in my situation where I haven't found my "Juliet".

This relates to Romeo and Juliet because their parents wanted them to marry a certain person when that is not what they wanted. You should know what is best for you and whatever makes you happy.

The need to find a person that you may consider "perfect" could well never happen, but you may very well find a person like you like very much and that may be perfect enough for you. You should come up with your own opinions on the type of person that you like and hold onto past experiences as things you should learn from.

The significance of completing the Perfect Match Document showed how your opinion and what you are looking for may be different that what your parents want in someone for you. After filling out the document, I found that there were a lot similarities not with my parents but with my friends. In Romeo and Juliet, their relationship is limited by the arranged relationship Juliet already has. It shows the controversy between Juliet's opinion and her parent's opinion.

The survey that we took shows that the person that you are looking for might be completely different than the person that your parents think is right for you. It also shows that you are the only person that matters in what you think about your "Perfect Match". This relates to Romeo and Juliet because they went for what they wanted and not what their parents wanted.

This survey shows the difference between what your parents want for you vs what you want for you. This seems relatable to Romeo and Juliet because both of them wanted to be together. Yet, their parents didn't want them to be together. The parents wanted something else than the children did.

This survey kind of relates to how Romeo and Juliet's parents would decide to pick a "soulmate" for them. Parents don't always know what their child wants and in some people's survey it shows. I personally didn't have a parent evaluate, but if I did I'm not sure if they would do a good job or not. The only person who can find their true perfect match is yourself.
