Choosing who to pursue as a romantic partner can have wide-reaching consequences. Attachment anxiety (i.e., need for reassurance) and avoidance (i.e., comfort with closeness) are associated with relationship quality and maintenance, but do people accurately perceive a date’s attachment style and are these perceptions associated with dating interest? In a sample of 164 speed-daters (n = 1,869 dates), we found that people accurately perceived dates’ attachment anxiety, but not their attachment avoidance. Perceiving a date as more anxiously or avoidantly attached was associated with less dating interest, and when dates were higher on attachment anxiety, accurate perceptions of anxious attachment were associated with less dating interest. Implications for partner selection and for understanding perceptions in dating relationships are discussed.

选择追求谁作为浪漫伴侣可能会产生广泛的影响。依恋焦虑（即，需要安慰）和回避（即，对亲密的舒适感）与关系质量和维持相关，但人们是否准确地感知到约会的依恋风格，这些感知是否与约会兴趣相关？在 164 名快速约会者的样本中（n = 1,869 个日期），我们发现人们准确地感知了日期的依恋焦虑，而不是他们的依恋回避。将约会视为更焦虑或回避的依恋与约会兴趣减少有关，当约会对依恋焦虑较高时，对焦虑依恋的准确感知与约会兴趣减少有关。讨论了对合作伙伴选择和理解约会关系中的看法的影响。
