1. On your first dinner date with a guy, you should
order whatever you want even
if it's the most expensive thing on the menu.
something light like
a salad, and not eat much of it.
something you like,
but steer clear of stinky stuff like garlic, just in case.
2. When the convo rolls around to the topic of your
dating history, most guys want to know a few details-like
how long you dated and whether you're still friends.
nothing, because it's
in the past and you're going out with a new guy now.
almost everything-especially
how you broke up.
3. You meet an amazing guy at the skate park. After
an entire day of hanging out and flirting, you give him your number and
tell him to call. Then you go home and sit by the phone and wait. . . and
wait. . . and wait. After a week passes and he still hasn't called, you
assume he has a girlfriend
and was just messing with your mind.
he must have lost your
number, or he's trying to build up the nerve to call you.
he wasn't really interested
but didn't want to hurt your feelings.
4. When you pass a guy in the hall and he immediately
makes a major show of clowning around with his friends (and barely makes
eye contact with you), it probably means he's letting you know
he isn't into you by blowing you off
he's interested in
you but doesn't know what to do about it.
he was just about to
talk to you, but one of his friends distracted him.
5. You can tell that a guy has a major crush on you
when he gets a little nervous
talking to you, but he always has something to say.
he talks about you
for hours with his friends.
he constantly teases
you and calls you mean names.
6. You're Jewel's number-one fan, so when you win
tickets to her concert, you're on cloud nine. During the show your date
is practically falling asleep in his chair---but afterward he says he had
fun and suggests getting coffee together. What does this mean? He's just so relaxed
around you that he felt comfortable and snuggly.
He's not so hot on
Jewel and feels bad about falling asleep, so he wants to make it up to
you by going out for coffee.
You've officially bored
him into a coma, and he needs caffeine to jump-start his brain.
7. In the hall you spy your crush chatting with another
girl. She's giggling really loudly and hanging all over him, and he seems
to be eating it up. If you want to snag his attention during your next
convo, your best bet is to act normal and talk
about something you have in common.
get a little more giggly
and flirty since you know he likes that.
make an inside joke
about the giggly girl who was glued to him to show him you're secure.

Your Guy-Q: Living in La-La Land
Your world must be a dreamy place to live. You
always find a positive spin on his signs---even the ones that clearly aren't
good. It's definitely time for a lesson in guy-speak. One good way to pick
up the language is to start making more guy friends---they'll clue you
in fast. And when you stop making excuses for the guys you want to like
you, you may notice some sweeties whose true I-like-you signals you were
missing.

Your Guy-Q: Roaming in Reality
17 to 21 points:
Your Guy-Q: Tiptoeing Over Thorns
Ouch! Your answers are a major warning that the
treatment you're getting from guys is pretty rotten. You expect them to
send out nasty signals-and when they do, you convince yourself that's normal.
Trust me on this one---not all guys are jerks. So if you think you have
to put up with a guy who teases or ignores you, think again. Maybe your
boy blindness comes from the fact that you just haven't met that many nice
guys---and that's an easy fix. Instead of hunting for a hottie to smooch,
get friendly with a guy you dig on a just-friends level. It'll show you
how sweet guys can be and that'll boost your expectations.
