WHICH JANE AUSTEN CHARACTER IS THE MAN YOU LIKE? By Lauren Henderson
Find out how compatible you'll be with your current love interest...

a. Stops calling you the first time you don't return his calls
b. Calls you a couple of times, then gives up
c. Calls you, but stops being romantic or kissing you good night - the mixed messages you're giving him make him think you only want to be friends
d. Keeps calling, but the dates don't really go anywhere as he seems very reserved
e. Keeps calling, but sporadically - he's playing your game, too, being as difficult to get as you are
f. Keeps calling, but dumps you as soon as you've had sex with him - he was only in it for the chase
2. His ideal movie star is:
a. Nicole Kidman
b. Kirsten Dunst
c. Kaite Holmes
d. Cameron Diaz
e. Catherine Zeta-Jones
f. Pamela Anderson
3. He generally invites you:
a. To artsy European movies with subtitles, or to free gigs of deeply obscure bands his friends are in
b. Hiking, or to do something sporty
c. To classical music concerts, museums, or the theater
d. To the latest trendy bar for cocktails and people-watching
e. To dinner at expensive restaurants
f. To late-night clubs
4. At the end of your first date:

c. He walks you home, gives you a big hug and an enthusiastic kiss on the mouth
d. You make out in a dark bar
e. You don't quite know how it happened, but you're back at his place and suddenly you're not wearing any clothes
5. The first time you have sex with him, it's:
a. Lots of fun - you both laugh a lot and feel very relaxed
b. Sweet, but a little fumbling - you may need to help him along a bit
c. Clear he knows what he's doing and is very considerate
d. Good, but you sense it's more about his showing you what a great lover he is that his really being into you as a person
