Melinda Gates
in Relationships

Secretive and inclined to brooding silences, it is difficult for others to really know her inner core, for Melinda Gates only trusts and opens herself to a select few. Allowing herself to be vulnerable and to relinquish control in relationships is not easy for Gates.

Melinda has intense, passionate loves and hates and is a jealously loyal and protective friend - or a fearsome foe. Melinda Gates has a nasty habit of holding onto past hurts, resentments and guilt - and to keep such feelings to herself. It is important for Melinda Gates to learn to forgive and let go, as well as to express her feelings openly and directly, rather than hiding or repressing them.

She is not content with superficial appearances and is always probing beneath the surface of things for hidden motives. Melinda Gates has a great deal of emotional depth.

Melinda Gates has a soft exterior and tends to relate very personally and sympathetically to other people. However, Melinda sometimes lets her emotions overpower her reasoning and logic, and consequently she is sometimes biased in her opinions. Melinda Gates is impressionable and rather gentle, or at least that is the way she appears. Her feelings are on the surface and Melinda cannot hide her emotions.

Gregarious and fun loving, she is always out to have a good time. Melinda Gates tends to "play now, pay later" and is prone to overspend, overeat, drink too much, and in general overdo, and even more so when in the company of others. It is hard for Melinda Gates to say no, especially when Gates' emotions or appetites are involved. Generous to a fault, she is likely to be very free both with money and with affection.

There is another side to Melinda Gates as well, a rather introverted, self-contained, even pessimistic side which tempers her good cheer and generosity, as discussed below.

Melinda Gates often feels that she must do something or be something other than what she is in order to receive approval and acceptance from others. She is very sensitive to criticism and easily feels left out or neglected, and though she may appear cool or distant, Gates actually cares very much about being included. Because she is so sensitive, it may seem easier for Melinda Gates to withdraw into a shell rather than risk the emotional bumps and bruises she may endure once she lets others really know her in an intimate, personal way. Her reserve and caution make establishing close emotional relationships with others difficult, and Melinda Gates becomes very attached to the few people she considers "real friends". Gates can gain inner security and strength through periods of solitude if she views them as times to nourish herself and develop her own interests, rather than as times of loneliness.

Sensitive and sentimental, Melinda Gates is deeply attached to her family, old friends, familiar places and the past. She is romantic and tender in love relationships, and it is of utmost importance to Gates to remember birthdays, anniversaries, family rituals and other personally significant days. Melinda Gates seeks caring, emotional support, and security in her love relationships. Melinda likes to be needed, as well as to cherish and protect her loved ones, of whom she is somewhat possessive.

Melinda Gates craves very intense, deep, emotional relationships, and would even prefer stormy, tumultuous relationships to ones that are smooth but lacking vitality and passion. Melinda loves wholeheartedly and expects all-consuming, total devotion and attention from her partner. Casual, light relationships hold no appeal for Gates.

Melinda Gates is extremely amorous and it is difficult for her to go without romantic relationships for very long. When she is attracted to someone, Melinda Gates pursues her very ardently and sometimes comes on too strong. Being engaged in creative or artistic work can also satisfy her very strong desire for love and beauty.

She needs a lot of emotional and romantic stimulation, and may not be very interested in having just one mate or love partner. Variety, excitement, spontaneity, and freedom are quite important to Melinda, and "settling down" is not that appealing. Melinda Gates tends to surround herself with unusual, creative, unconventional people that keep her life lively. Music or dancing or both play an important part in Gates' life.

Her strong enthusiasm for life affects everyone around her. Melinda Gates has a sense of well-being, a harmonious sex-life and she is likely to enjoy healthy and affectionate love relationships. Melinda Gates also has a lot of creative ideas and could do well with some kind of craft projects.

Her energy and initiative seem to be a bit weak and could frequently inhibit Melinda's sex life. Her unrealistic ideals about relationships could lead to disillusionment, and Melinda Gates may feel that real mortals are disappointing, and prefer her fantasies.
