WHAT KIND OF GIRLFRIEND ARE YOU?

Are you being demanding... or simply demanding your due? Are you being supportive... or are you being a doormat? Take this quiz and find out!

1) It’s your birthday, and he calls you to tell you that something big came up at work, so he won’t be able to take you out after all. Your response is:

A) Tell him that’s fine, you completely understand. You can always celebrate it another time.

B) Tell him you’re disappointed. Ask him what he’s doing to make it up to you.

C) Insist that he come home immediately -- or don’t bother coming back at all.

D) Tell him you’re hurt, and wait to see if he feels guilty. When he doesn’t cave, go out with your friends and commiserate.

2) You come home from a really lousy day at work, only to find that he’s had a really lousy day at work. He makes more money than you do. He says that your job isn’t as demanding as his, so you really shouldn’t stress about your day -- it’s not that big a deal. You response is:

A) You’re angry, but you realize he’s right. He’s had a really tough time, and there’s a lot of pressure on him. You’ve just basically been annoyed.

B) Seethe silently, but otherwise don’t start a fight. It’s not worth it -- and he’s in no state to listen to you anyway. Write it down in your journal to remember it.

C) Take one of his credit cards and tell him he’s right -- you don’t have much to stress over, since thank God he makes more money than you do, and you can spend it until you feel better.

D) Have a discussion with him. You’re sorry that he had a bad day, but your work and your life is no less difficult or worthwhile than his, no matter what your respective paychecks are.

3) You find a phone number by his computer. He says that it’s from a woman from the gym who wants him to call and talk about weight training, since your boyfriend is pretty buff. Your response is:

A) You throw the phone number out, and then go on with your evening.

B) You don’t throw a fit, but you do ask subtle questions all night -- what does she look like, has he talked to her, is she involved with anyone, have they made any plans? You don’t want to sound jealous, but you don’t think he’s being completely on the level, either.

C) You wait until he’s out of the room, then call the number and tell the woman on the other end of the line to back off your man or you’re going to find her and make sure she backs off.

D) Don’t say anything. It’s not that big a deal, really. She just wants to talk about weight training.

4) You go out to dinner. You go to order a triple-chocolate fudge sundae, and he looks at you and says, "aren’t you watching your weight? You seem to have put on a few pounds." Your response is:

A) You ask him if he thinks you’re fat, and then tell him that maybe he shouldn’t talk, considering his love handles. And you tell him you’ll eat whatever you want to.

B) You refuse the sundae for another glass of water. You had mentioned that you were trying to diet, so it’s good that he’s reminding you.

C) You laugh, and say, yeah, maybe you should watch your weight... but you’re not going to tonight, and order the sundae.

D) You order something smaller, and feel as if you’re gaining weight with every spoonful. You resent the fact that he can eat anything but not gain a pound, and can’t believe he actually said that to you.

5) You’re at the video store. You want to rent Moulin Rouge... he wants to rent Jeepers Creepers. You hate horror movies, and he’s chosen the last three that you’ve rented (and hated). Your response is:

A) You rent both movies, planning on trying to get him to maybe watch it later, even though you know he won’t... even though he insists you watch his movies, he never watches yours.

B) You tell him if he wants to watch that sort of thing, he can just go home to his house.

C) You rent his movie, and even manage to sound enthusiastic. It’s not like you pay attention to the movie anyway when you’re together, and it’s nice to see him enjoying himself.

D) You tell him he’s chosen the last three movies, and see if you can’t compromise on something else that you’ll both enjoy.

6) His friends are going out drinking and clubbing Friday night, and he doesn’t want you to go because you’ll be uncomfortable, and they’re not really your friends. Your response is:

A) That’s fine. You’ll be going out with your friends. To a strip club. Tell him not to wait up.

B) You shrug it off, hoping that he’ll notice you’re not pleased about the situation. When he gets home, you wait until he’s asleep and then go through his pager or cell phone to see if he’s added any new numbers.

C) You have the bed ready for him when he gets home, and tell him that you’ll be quiet in the morning if he’s "not feeling well".

D) You tell him that it’s okay once in a while -- you want him to have his own life. But you also say you want to do more with your mutual friends.

7) He starts comparing you to a woman at work -- why can’t you wear more make-up/ shorter skirts/higher heels, like she does? Your response is:

A) You realize that you’ve been dressing sort of slobby lately, not really caring what you look like. Guys are visual creatures -- they respond better when women dress up. You tell him you’ll think about it and decide to wear lingerie to bed, just in case.

B) You ask him why he can’t be better endowed, like your mailman? And how long has he been sleeping with his co-worker, anyway?

C) You tell him that you’re happy with the way you are, and don’t really see a need to change what you wear or how you look.

D) You immediately feel hurt, and keep all of your answers short and to the point for the rest of the day. When he does something else (like forgetting to wash the car or pick up something), you lay into him for that instead, feeling vindicated.

8) You’re at a party for his work. Instead of introducing you as his girlfriend, he introduces you by your first name only. He then pays more attention to all the other guests than you. Your response is:

A) You try to mingle a little, asking people about their lives. When you get back in the car, you tell him that you are hurt that he ignored you at a party where he was really the only person you knew.

B) You stay close to his side, just smiling. This is important for his work, therefore it’s important to you. Besides, it’s obvious that you’re his girlfriend.

C) You look for the cutest guy in the room, and stick to his side until your boyfriend notices -- or the cute guy gives you a phone number. Whichever comes first.

D) You stand off in the corner, wondering how long it will take for him to look for you. You drink steadily the whole time.

9) He comes home late one night, feeling frisky. You’ve had a really tough day, and you don’t feel like having sex. Your response is:

A) Have sex with him anyway. It doesn’t take that much energy, and it’s easier than hurting his feelings.

B) Tell him you’re not interested right now... maybe later.

C) Tell him to go hump somebody else’s leg.

D) Have sex with him, but be as wooden and unresponsive as possible. Wonder why he doesn’t notice.

10) You’ve been together for two years, and you haven’t talked about marriage or living together -- he just stays over at your house, or you stay over at his. When you ask him what he thinks about it, he says "I don’t. What’s wrong with what we have now?" Your response is:

A) Say "Nothing." Then cry when he’s not around you. Look in the personals, but don’t call anybody. Tell your friends you don’t know why you’re with him.

B) Tell him that you can’t believe that you spent two years with an unperceptive loser. If he wants "now" to continue, he’d better think about buying a ring!

C) Tell him that nothing’s wrong with what you have... you’re just happy with him. Make sure he’s not angry you asked, and vow not to ask him about marriage for at least another year, if ever.

D) Tell him that it’s not enough for you... and if it’s enough for him, there might be a problem there.
