Ollie’s mouth opened and closed several times but no words came out. He looked wildly from Joe to Matt and back again, his cheeks pink with embarrassment…
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE?
Joe’s preparations for being best man at his dad’s wedding is making all the friends think hard about lurve and all it brings. But what about you? Are you a hard-hearted cynic or a squishy big softie when it comes to love?
Look at the following scenarios and choose the response that applies to you…
You like someone. You like them a lot. There’s no way…
You’re NOT going to let them know about it! Why let an opportunity slip by?
You’d let on-not until you’re ninety-nine point nine per cent sure of how they feel about you.
You see his face across a crowded room, and your heart goes BLAM! Straight away you decide…
That’s it-you’ve fallen for him, no messing.
To take it slowly and find out more about him, before you trust that thing thumping away in your chest!
You’ve been out together, you’ve kissed and you like each other loads. All you want to do is…
Shout it out at the top of your voice and tell the world!
Keep it as your precious, wonderful secret for a while, and only let on to your closest friends.
A boy buys you a flash, ultra-expensive pressie. How does that make you feel?
Special. It must show how much he cares.
A bit fazed, you’d have preferred something small, inexpensive, but totally personal.
5. Your perfect date would be…
A night out together clubbing with all your mates, followed by a romantic stroll home, just the two of you.
Anything and anywhere-you’re not fussed. As long as it’s just you and him, and no one else.
If the two of you do go out with a bunch of mates, you…
Wouldn’t be shy about holding hands and getting cuddly in front of them.
Would save your kisses and hugs for later-you’d hate everyone gawping at you.
Johnny Depp did the ultimate gesture when he had his girlfriend Winona Ryder’s name tattooed on his arm. You think that was…
An over-the-top but amazing symbol of showing his devotion.
Kind of stupid, considering they split up later.
You’ve been going out a couple of weeks, and it’s all going well. By this point, you’re…
More than happy to tell him exactly how much you care about him. What’s the point in hiding your feelings?
Still holding back a little. Even though it’s brilliant, it still takes a while to know someone and trust them completely, doesn’t it?
The way people fall in love in movies is…
Totally romantic and utterly inspiring.
Fun to watch, but not real life.
For you, falling in love is like…
Fireworks exploding in your heart and your head.
A warm, hiccupy feeling rippling in the pit of your stomach and across your chest.
NOW CHECK OUT HOW YOU SCORED…
SO, DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE?
Mostly a
Do you believe in love? You’d better believe it-every heart-palpitating, tummy-flipping, daydreaming moment of it. Love is like a huge adventure to you, and you’re more than ready to dive in and see what happens-and with a great big, optimistic grin on your face! Like Ollie, you’re not in the least bit shy about showing your emotions, but remember that not everyone’s like you, and sometimes such enthusiasm can frighten shyer people away.
Mostly b
Do you believe in love? Well, to the outside world it might not seem so, but just because you don’t shout about it from the rooftops or believe in snogging someone’s face off in public, it doesn’t mean that you aren’t into hearts and flowers and all things romantic. In fact, being the cautious kind of girl you are, you often end up with the best kind of relationships, precisely because you take your time and wait till you’re sure of someone before you give them your heart. But don’t be too cautious for too long, or you could risk letting someone special slip right through your hands.
