What Your Score Means
11 to 17: Out of Touch Much?If romance were a snake, you wouldn't have to worry about getting bitten, because you're nowhere near it. Unless your partner has expressly told you that your relationship does not need romance, you may want to show your honey that you have a sensitive side. Even small gestures every once in a while can have a big impact. Surprise your sweetie with flowers, a thoughtful card or by making an effort to cuddle. When you take the initiative to show you care, your partner will appreciate it and may even do the same. Instead of buying a practical gift for your partner's birthday, try to be creative and find something with sentimental value. The key is to express your feelings in a way that feels comfortable and be sure that your effort are sincere.
18 to 25: Romantic Romeo / Gentle Juliet
Congratulations! You have mastered the art of being romantic without going completely overboard. Your friends probably tell you that you two make a cute couple because you can show that you care for one another without making other people feel uncomfortable. You've learned that little things like spelling out "I love you" in M&Ms can be just as romantic - if not more so - than a candlelit dinner at an exclusive restaurant. Although you're doing well now, be careful not to get lazy. Try to keep things creative and spontaneous. Don't limit your romantic gestures to holidays and anniversaries - let each other know how you feel each and every day. Try to do something special for each other once a week, and remember that romance does not need to be something that one person does for the other. You can both plan a romantic activity and then enjoy it together.
26 to 33: A Hopeless Romantic and Then Some!
You like everything in your relationship to be champagne and rose petals, and while it's good to believe in fairytale, be sure that you're not basing your whole relationship on grand gestures.
You should be able to spend time together with your feet on the ground instead of your head in the clouds. While romance can be hypnotic, every now and then you need to touch base with reality and make sure you're in love with a real person and not just in love with the romance. With that caution in mind, enjoy the fact that you have found someone who gives you romantic inspiration.
In today's fast-paced, hectic world, it is a rare treat to find someone who takes the time and effort to be such a thoughtful partner. Keep up the good work and remember to make sure that there are genuine feelings behind all the romantic things you do.
