Online Quiz...

Just took an online quiz which was on MSN homepage when I logged out of my hotmail email account.

This quiz was "COSMOPOLITAN : Are You a Great Date?"
The website is http://quiz.ivillage.com/cosmopolitan/tests/date.htm

My results, after answering 10 questions :

Desirable Date

Honey, you're the total date package: optimistic and open to trying new things, whether it's exotic cuisine or rock climbing. You also have the right mind-set. "It doesn't matter whether you're sitting in a coffeehouse or a fancy restaurant because you see a date as an opportunity to find out whether you're compatible, rather than making it into a high-stakes interview," says relationship expert PetaHeskell, author of Flirt Coach.

Still, that doesn't mean you're totally anything goes. "While you're open to going out with a guy who may not fit your usual specifications, you have no problem saying no to a second date if your gut tells you that he's just not a match," says Heskell. That savvy confidence extends to the dates themselves. If a guy switches plans on you at the last minute, you'll be open to it (baseball night) but make your needs known (nexttime, it's a movie, your pick!). No wonder your PDA is probably packed with date nights and eligible dudes' digits.

My opinion about this analysis...

1 . Total date package - optimistic and open to trying new things

Hmm.. Whether or not I am a total date package, that was not up to me to comment. It's quite subjective. It also depends on my mood, and also who is the date, you know? But well.. I agree that I am optimistic. In fact, I'm always optimistic, though I might go into depression now and then, but I'm always looking at the brighter sight. Nothing can really bring me down. In life, there must be ups and downs. If there weren't unhappy moments, how would one appreciate the happy moments? Open to trying new things? Yes. Open. Just that I needed some little pushing and encouragement from someone to get myself moving. I'm a lazy bummer, you see..


2. You have the right mind-set - it doesn't matter whether you're sitting in a coffeehouse or a fancy restaurant because you see a date as an opportunity to find out whether you're compatible, rather than making it into a high-stakes interview

I have the right mind-set!! Hmm.. Well.. That's again, said by the so-called "relationship expert", not me. I don't really need to know if the mind-set was right, cos the question of being right and wrong, is again, pretty subjective in this context, am I right? What comes after the sentence was pretty true. It really doesn't matter to me the location of the date, it was the GUY that matters in a date. Cos without the guy, it won't be called a date anymore. Right? Yes. A date was an opportunity to find out whether we are compatible. There is totally no need to rush things into it. This is something that I strongly believe. Too old to do things in a rush. lol.. I'm not into, "Hey.. You are the Mr Right for me (at the first or second date), I can't live without you. You must love me..." Yes. I'm not into that kind of irrational or desperate? or do you call it psychotic mind-set. Cannot means cannot, sometimes can try, but if things don't work out, simply means it doesn't. Right? In life, we need to give and take, we need to learn to let go at times.


3. That doesn't mean you're totally anything goes - you have no problem saying no to a second date if your gut tells you that he's just not a match

Yeap, as what I said under number 2, "Cannot means cannot!" I will sure tell the person concerned that he's not my Mr. Right, even if he's already my bf. Of course, I will do my best not to hurt his feelings. I will first drop some hints before having to resort to "say things clear in his face". Well.. That doesn't mean that we can't be friends. We could still be friends after that. I MEAN MY WORDS, unless, after making things clear, he gave me a short period of mental torture/threat, then I can't promise if we can still be friends. Those who know me, will know what kind of torture I had underwent last time. In NTU, a security on his/her bicycle had to stop a distance away from me and that guy, to observe what was happening. And if I needed any help, I was glad that help was just nearby. He was my ex bf, we already broken up and he was pestering me if we can still be friends. I told him I need a breather, let things cool down for a moment, but words didn't seemed to be able to penetrate through his ears and brains. Friends then, even told me to inform the police, but no matter what, I didn't think that I should go to that extent. That part of my memory still haunts me, and gives me shivers now, when I think of it at night.


4. That savvy confidence extends to the dates themselves - If a guy switches plans on you at the last minute, you'll be open to it

Yes, I will definitely be opened to last minute changes to plan. I'm flexible to last minute changes. I'm always that flexible, and I usually give a lot of leeways in everything, just don't push your limits too far.. Haha.. How far is far? Depends who you are loh.. I'm biased. lolx. And also, I am opened to last minute PLAN, and not stupid cock-ups. Minor hiccups are acceptable, cos sometimes minor hiccups made the date more special and unique.

About the part on number of guys on PDA.. Nah.. I don't survive on dates. Not so always after guys.. Moreover, I don't even own a PDA.. lolx.

--- End of my opinion about the quiz ---


Off topic abit.. Point 4 that triggered me to write about this guy

A piece of advice.. Don't be like that Service Centre guy, I mean NEVER be like him.

He took a day or half day off, and was sleeping the whole afternoon through, and not planning for the so-called date in the evening. Hello? I woke up at 5.30am, working at my attachment company from 7.30am till 4.45pm, when I came back to hall, then he come and tell me that he wasn't working. I thought he would be working at Jurong East, that was why I came back to hall. I thought that could cut short some travelling time or something. The very minimum of my expectations was that my movie tickets had been booked. Was the expectations too high?! So disappointing.

Next, was.. he intended to go town and watch the show. End up? Becos he didn't booked earlier, there wasn't any vacancies!! Didn't he know that show just started screening at that time, and it was a Friday. Surely there still be vacancies in the cinemas in town? No right? Haiz... Worst thing was.. He ended up had problems booking online, and I had to do the booking, when I thought I could be at ease and make my way out of NTU. Nevermind. He offered to give me his credit card number, that was gentleman enough I thought. I didn't wanted. I said I pay first. I mean, I don't want later, if anything happen to his credit card account cos of my transaction or what. To play safe, I better use mine. So, I paid for the online booking first. Next, I had to travel all the way down to Bishan Junction 8, (cos he stays in AMK). End up, he still dared to cheekily asks if I was treating him to the movies. Hello? He's a permanent employee, I was just an attachment student, and he caused all the cock-ups.. Well.. I treated it as I was paying for a lesson learned or something. I was too tired to argue.. This date was really too tiring...

Next, he even dare to ask me for dinner treat. I was like, "Huh?! I treat you for movies already lei!! No! Dinner's on you." And I kind of treat it as it was something he must do. He treated me to teppanyaki, and looking at the menu, he pointed to those that were over $10, and said those will cover the movie tickets, and I would benefit from it some more. WAH!! HELLO?! I'm not such a miser!! I'm not that kind of girls who love to splurge guys' money. DUH!! Then after dinner, that wasn't all. He said he had a craving for Hagen Daaz when we were on the down-riding escalator. He asked if I can treat him to that. Erm.. For a moment.. I thought I was a guy, and she was the girl, that I was after. HELLO?!?! I told him it was time for movies. After movies, if Hagen Daaz was still in operation then say. To my surprise, he said there was Olio Dome or something nearby that closes late. Deep inside me... I was SCREAMING FOR HELP!!!

Well.. this guy stopped looking for me, after hearing that I had an accident. I told him I had a scar on my left face. He was cursing the reckless driver then. Well.. probably was this sentence that shut him off. "Who are you to reprimand the driver, while we, the casaulties didn't want to say anything at all?" Probably my words were abit harsh, but I was quite pissed. When things had happened, there's no point harping on who was responsible. The driver, Tuang, was already very very guilty. Guilt was something terrible to overcome too. So it was either the harsh words that kept him away, or probably it was the scar on my face that kept him away. Probably the way I describe my scar scared him off. Well.. Think not seeing me also is still the best, at least my image to him was still the scar-less face.

Hmm.. Possibly previously the story about this service centre guy wasn't complete, and now that I had wrote about him again in my blog here, I guess I just blabbered everything out. I hope that I won't be blogging anymore of him anymore. Please just disappear. *evil*
