How You Score:

Less than 0

You’re bitter, baby. You’ve been kicked around by love, but with an attitude like yours, it’s hard to believe you’ll get the chance to give love another go—not that you’d want to. Learn from the past and then let go of it. You’ll feel better, I promise.

0-5

You’re a cynic. And while that can result in an entertainingly acerbic wit, you’d be better served by remembering that you get more bees with honey than with vinegar.

6-10

After your bad experiences, it’s normal to be a little jaded. But don’t let your attitude develop into cynicism. Instead, focus on feeling hopeful about a future that includes a good relationship.

11-15

You’re making an effort, and it’s probably starting to pay off. Being skittish isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just guard against letting your prior experiences keep you from trying something new.

16-20

Congratulations. Despite a painful past, you’ve been able to put them behind you—hopefully with some valuable lessons learned

Btw, I am single too (and not looking) I have found my one true love though. Maybe that has put me on the border...

My pleasure, Sharjeel.

I knew a test like this on the board would be fun....but didnt think that married members would be so blissfully unbitter.

17...married.

But somehow, as is the case with these tests, I found the range of answers quite limiting.

So did Aq81, but she still scored the same as me. Which is high for someone unmarried.
