HOW DID YOU SCORE?
Mostly As
You’re a hopeless romantic who lives for Valentine’s Day and Julia Roberts movies with happy endings. You’re also not afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve and want to be with someone who’s just as passionate as you are – not to mention perfectly comfortable to express their feelings with paper hearts and flowers.
Mostly Bs
You’re attracted to the devilmay-care attitude of the typical bad boy or girl. The more aloof the guy/girl, the more you end up wanting their affection. Chasing after your latest crush may be exciting right now, but don’t be surprised if you eventually get over it and start looking for someone who’s a little easier to keep up with.
Mostly Cs
It seems as though you know how you want to be treated, but aren’t concerned with all the trappings and trimmings of a great romance. Quite simply, you’re attracted to someone who’s emotionally mature and ‘nice’ – one of the most underrated qualities on the planet – and you don’t need hearts and flowers to feel loved.
