Okay, let me take a shot at this. I'd have to say a combination of 2 and 3 would be fine with me, though I won't turn down 4 until I know the situation behind it. I have had only one type of relationship (#3) so I have little experience to judge which type would be best for me. I only have preconceived preferences.
