Are You Single?

by la_spice @ 2008-06-17 - 07:35:47

Here's a "Cosmopolitan" style survey thingy you might like to try

Find out whether you're diving into the dating pool as a perfect 10, or just doing a bellyflop!.

When a cute stranger steps on your foot in a crowded bar, you:
• Say, "Watch it!" (Score -1)
• Writhe in pain (Score 4)
• Apologise (Score 1)
• Crack a joke (Score 3)
• Start a conversation (Score 2)

When you meet someone you'd like to get to know better, how do you proceed?
• You pitch it as an invite to a group get-together with friends (Score 1)
• You go direct. Something like, "I'd love to get together with you sometime." (Score 2)
• You use an excuse: "We both like Bond - I know where Goldfinger is playing." (Score 3)
• You give the person your number before being asked (Score 4)
• You wait and let them ask for your number (Score -1)

Your screen name most closely matches which category:
• Practical — maybe related to your name or city (Score 1)
• A good conversation-starter — a hobby, nickname (Score 2)
• A play on words that gets people laughing or thinking (Score 3)
• Something sexy (Score 4)
• Related to the car you drive, or to your job title (Score -1)

At an office happy hour, you lock eyes with someone standing solo at the bar. Your move?
• Ditch your cocktail and ask them for advice on what you should order (Score 2)
• Keep an eye peeled for an hour, to be sure they're not someone's date (Score 1)
• Send over a margarita from across the bar (Score 4)
• Nada. No flirting at work parties (Score -1)
• Ask them to save you from your work party for a moment, and offer to buy that drink (Score 3)

The best way to make someone sit up and notice you:
• Making intense eye contact (Score 4)
• Telling a hilarious story (Score 3)
• Acting disinterested (Score -1)
• Being non-threatening and friendly (Score 1)
• Asking a lot of questions and casually touching (Score 2)

If you scored:

Less than 0
If flirting is an Olympic sport, you're going for the... wait, what's below bronze? Aluminium? When you're around a love interest, you become introverted. The problem: It gives the impression you're unhappy and disinterested — even when you may really like someone. An easy fix? Ask questions. Everyone loves talking about themselves, plus when you tune in to the answers it shows you're a great listener.

1-6
OK, time to dash an old flirting myth — when you treat someone as "just a friend," it backfires. They end up thinking of you as just a friend. Unless you commit to clear flirting signals — such as the casual arm touch, or smiling while making eye contact — your flirting form may flop. So make your interest clear, instead of leaving them wondering if you like them in that way.

7-14
Your flirting form is like that perfect martini — a great balance of style and smoothness. Your twist? Your natural curiosity about people leaves them feeling like they made a real connection. How's that for a perfect 10?

15-20
When you turn on the charm, stand back — you give it your all. The problem? Sometimes your aggressive moves may label you as a player, someone who couldn't possibly be looking for a real relationship. Slowing down to make a legitimate connection with someone would boost your success ratio in a big way.

My score? now that would be telling! ;)

I got around 10. Can't be sure as I usually think on my feet in those situations and then end up falling over.

I scored 5. If I read the quiz correctly, it means I am likely to remain single. Which is the way I like it. ;)

As long as you're happy that's all that matters! :yes:

The only thing about it that makes me unhappy are the people who are unable to comprehend the idea that single people can be happy, who therefore conclude that since I am single I must be unhappy, then try to find a way to change that.

Precisely - especially when they are often in unhappy relationships themselves! They probably want you to suffer too! :))

I was a shaken, not stirred, 7.

SO how come no-one ever invites me to office happy hours?
