You need space and adventure; a clingy bond drains you, a curious partner keeps you.
How to calculate your life path number
Add every digit of your full birth date (day, month and year) and reduce the total to a single digit — for example 14 May 1990 → 1+4+5+1+9+9+0 = 29 → 2+9 = 11. The master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are the exception: they're kept, not reduced.
