Less than 0: Ouch. Your snarky nature might be appealing to someone, but chances are, your life will be devoid of a meaningful long-term relationship unless you brighten your outlook on life and love.

0-5: If your guy shares your voracious appetite, he could be a good fit for you – provided you both agree it’s ok to play around. However, if he wants monogamy, you’ll have to decide between him and them.

6-10: You’re shy and insecure – and that will make it hard to find a mate who doesn’t have the same problem – or issues related to keeping you that way. Evaluate your sense of self – and the type of guy you’re with now. You could probably do better on both counts.

11-15: If he’s The One, he hasn’t convinced you yet so you’re keeping your options open. There’s nothing wrong with that if you’re simply taking it slow. But if you’ve got bad feelings about him or about commitment, you need to face them and make some decisions.

16-20: All signs are pointing towards a happy future with this man, so keep doing what you’re doing!
