| Q1. |
You meet a really cute guy in the supermarket (you accidentally put your skim milk in his cart instead of yours). After you share a laugh and a brief (but seemingly flirtatious) conversation, you’re sure he’s going to ask for your number. Instead, he tells you to “take it easy” and starts to roll his cart away. You: |
| |
__ |
a. |
Stop him before he gets away and ask if he wants to get together for a glass of skim milk sometime. |
|
| |
__ |
b. |
Purposely bump into him in another aisle to give him another chance to ask you out. |
|
| |
__ |
c. |
Tell yourself that it wasn’t meant to be and head straight for the express checkout lane. |
|
| |
|
| Q2. |
You’re thrilled when the very attractive man at the bar starts chatting you up. At the end of the night you exchange business cards and he promises to call. When a week goes by without hearing from him, you: |
| |
__ |
a. |
Call him. Hey, he gave you his card too. |
|
| |
__ |
b. |
Go back to the same bar in hopes of running into him again. |
|
| |
__ |
c. |
Write him off…he missed his chance. |
|
| |
|
| Q3. |
Three days after what seemed like the perfect first date, Mr. Wonderful still hasn’t called to ask you out again. You: |
| |
__ |
a. |
Shoot him a very casual email thanking him for a great time and ask him how his week is going… just to test the waters. |
|
| |
__ |
b. |
Call him and invite him to the film festival in your neighborhood. After all, he mentioned he likes movies and why should you make him do all the work? |
|
| |
__ |
c. |
Refocus your energy on other available men in your life. If he calls, it’ll be a pleasant surprise. If not, no time wasted. |
|
| |
|
| Q4. |
You’ve been on a few dates with a great guy and things are going really well. It’s starting to feel more serious; you don’t even have an interest in seeing other people anymore. You wonder if he feels the same. You: |
| |
__ |
a. |
Tell him that you’ve decided to stop dating around and ask him how he feels about it. |
|
| |
__ |
b. |
Pour him a glass of wine and, in the most non-threatening voice possible, tell him you’d like to have a conversation about where the relationship is going. |
|
| |
__ |
c. |
Keep your feelings to yourself until he tells you he wants to be exclusive. |
|
| |
|
| Q5. |
After six months of serious dating you feel it. You’re definitely in love with this guy. You’re sure he loves you too, but he just hasn’t said it yet. One perfect night, as you’re sipping wine on a blanket under the stars, he stares into your eyes, and… nothing. You: |
| |
__ |
a. |
Say “I love you” first. Clearly he’s just too chicken, so he’ll be relieved. |
|
| |
__ |
b. |
Help him out, but still give him the chance to save face, by saying something like, “Do you think you could ever fall in love with me?” |
|
| |
__ |
c. |
Stare back into his eyes and smile mysteriously. |
|
| |

Scoring:
If you circled even ONE “a” or “b,” you have instincts that need to be put on hold!
