  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.

Life,
  Love,
    Laughter,
      and Hope,
