reveal your survey responses.

FOLLOWING:
I agree that my answers may be placed in a database. I agree that my scores can be placed into
the survey data bank, as long as my identity is not revealed. I agree that, if
I choose to reveal the results of my survey to anyone, I am fully responsible
for any damage that may occur to me or anyone else because I revealed that
information. That includes Match Lines. I agree that, if I choose to reveal the
results of my survey to anyone, and damage results to me or anyone else, I will
not bring any legal action against Match Lines.

unhealthy relationship patterns. Our responses are based on research and
professional experience.
