Are you happily single?

You have been asked to be a bridesmaid at your best friend's wedding.

a) You don't know how you are going to avoid all the suggestions that you should make an extra effort to catch the bouquet.
b) You are genuinely happy for your friend and are sure that before long it will be you.
c) You are consumed with jealousy as you wear your single status like a hairshirt.

You have a week's holiday coming up.

a) You are depressed at the thought of having to spend it all on your own and wish you could actually work.
b) Your art class is planning a painting week in a lovely part of the country and you decide to join them.
c)You decide to stay home and keep a low profile. Going on holiday on your own is no fun anyway.

The interior of your home can be described as

a) pretty similar to that of a student's - why buy furniture for yourself before you know what your potential partner's taste is likely to be?
b) It is both beautiful and original and really reflects the essence of who you are.
c) One or two nice things, the rest a bit like a beach cottage's hand-me-downs.

You are offered a promotion and a raise at work, but your working hours will also increase.

a) You turn it down, because when will you have time to socialise and meet Mr Right?
b) You accept it, have a celebration for your friends and go out to buy the couch you have been eyeing for a while.

Your birthday is coming up and you are spectacularly single.

a) You decide to throw a party and invite friends and family and make an event of it.
b) You plan to do nothing besides watching TV and drinking a bottle of wine all on your own. Going out with girlfriends would be too depressing.
c) You decide to go out to a restaurant with a few close friends - better than moping at home alone.

You find out that the person you have gone out with three times has been less than honest about his past. He has in fact been married before and did not tell you

a) You hit the road without letting him know why. What else has he been lying to you about?
b) You confront him head-on - there might be a good reason why he did not tell you and you will give him the benefit of the doubt.
c) Well, he is divorced, so that makes him single. Let's not be too fussy.

a) You decide to get to the bottom of this and make an appointment to see a therapist.
b) You are sure the right man will fix everything and you cannot understand why your guardian angel is holding out on this one.
c) You decide to broaden your horizons a bit - go for a few classes or make an effort to meet new people.

A family gathering looms where you are bound to be asked the dreaded question about why you are still single.

a) You take it lightly and admit that you are enjoying your single status.
b) You lie and say you are seeing someone, or you make a nasty comment to the person who asked
c) You avoid the occasion altogether, because it makes you feel inadequate and a failure.
