<p>I don’t know about a romantic significant other (I don’t have one yet 
), but I could think of a few people I’ld definitely take a bullet for. There are others which I might take a bullet for.</p>
<p>If the situation was so quick and impulsive I might take a bullet for someone (anyone) without thinking. I might just feel like I should save someone, think for a second, “wait, what about pain?” and then decide that I’ld just deal with that later. I might know that I’ld be regretting my decision during the pain, but think that I’ll be glad of what I did after it passes and I could think clearly again.</p>
<p>Or I might completely panic with my 1st reaction being “OMG I don’t want to die!” and then decide not to take a bullet for just anyone and take one for someone I care about. Or not take the bullet for someone I care about, because I didn’t have enough time to come to my senses before the trigger is pulled, and someone is already shot.</p>
<p>It depends what my logic is like during that moment in time. As you can probably tell, I’ve thought about this a few times before. When I do, I usually feel an automatic “protect and take the bullet” feeling in my gun like a trigger (sort of like what villains in those TV shows call “weaknesses” I suppose), but I can’t say for sure since it’s never happened to me before. The idea of death can be pretty strong too.</p>
<p>wow, I was not expecting this post to get so long…</p>
