If you answered mostly As:
Full points for you! Being a dedicated, supportive partner comes easily to you. You are able to put your partner's interests ahead of your own when you have to, but you expect him to do the same for you. Fortunately, you're confident that he would! You understand that a successful relationship often requires compromise but you've mastered the art of cooperation and understand how to negotiate the delicate balance between give and take. You are the kind of person who takes initiative and doesn't just wait for your partner to take the reins in every situation. Being self-assured and confident is an important ingredient in your relationship and helps you to achieve the kind of union you want. You also know how to say "thank you" and show your appreciation for your partner's efforts. This will always serve you well. Just make sure that the dedication, support and appreciation in your relationship aren't going in just one direction; it's a two-way street.
If you answered mostly Bs:
You've got one foot in and one foot out of this relationship. You care very deeply for your partner and enjoy many of the benefits of being in a relationship. But there's something that's preventing you from committing fully. Perhaps it's because you're just not positive that this is the right relationship for you. Whatever it is that's preventing you from giving this relationship 100%, now is the time to step back and find out. Ask yourself if this is the kind of relationship you truly want to be in. If you're not sure, it may be better to bow out gracefully before anyone gets hurt. But if the relationship is young and there's still a lot to explore, open your mind and your heart to the possibility that there's something good there. If you give more of yourself, you may be surprised by what you get back in return.
If you answered mostly Cs:
It's not just that you're not ready to be in a relationship, but it doesn't seem that you even want to be in one. And there's nothing wrong with that! As long as you don't toy with someone else's feelings, feel free to explore your single life and enjoy all of the benefits that come along with it. If you're currently in a relationship, you may want to consider getting out of it. If you're not ready to compromise and negotiate with your partner in a 50-50 kind of relationship, chances are it's doomed from the start. For you, being single (for now!) seems to suit you best, so get out there and enjoy yourself ... just don't take any unsuspecting guys along for the ride. Be upfront about what you're looking for. Honesty is always the best policy.
