Is your idea of romance putting the seat down for her after you’re done or is it more along the lines of writing a daily haiku for her in her honour? When she asks “what are you feeling?” Do you freeze up like a deer caught in the headlights? Ladies, is his idea of romance letting you have the tv remote once in awhile? Take this test and find out your romance level.

Note: If you are using the test in regard to your date/mate’s romantic gestures towards you, then the appropriate substitute would be “Does s/he…” at the beginning of each question.

Your results indicate that you are a pretty romantic person. You may want to strive to greater heights of romance by studying your results and putting in practice those things that you do not do on a regular basis. You may also want to talk to your date/mate about what s/her would like to receive from you in terms of expressions of love, and in turn, tell them what you appreciate from him/her in romantic gestures.

0-50% “YES” Answers:

Don’t go looking for a job at Hallmark Cards! It would appear that you need to look at yourself and how you express your feelings of love to your date/mate. Perhaps you have a difficult time expressing your feelings, or perhaps you merely don’t know how to. In the latter case, ask your date/mate what you could do that would show him/her how you feel. Definitely study your answers to the questions and start doing some of the things suggested. Also you may want to pick up a book or too on romance, love, flirting or relationships to get some hints. Romance is the ultimate example of giving being its own reward. And, we guarantee what you put out will come back for a win/win relationship.. Go for it!
