Tally up the number of "A's" you selected and look below to get your results.
7 or More "A's": You're a love junkie.
Too quick to fall in love, and hit too hard when love ends, you're caught in a love trap, likely addicted to love. Get more control over your feelings by giving infatuation more time to grow and see what happens. Like addictions to other substances, addiction to love requires recognizing your emotional needs, regaining control over urges, finding other sources of fulfillment. Medication and therapy helps in extreme cases before you lose your job, friends or your mind.
4 to 6 "A's": You're on the verge of being a love junkie.
While you haven't quite lost control over all your senses when love appears, you’re still too focused on Prince Charming solving your life problems. Instead of desperately seeking love from an outside person, do things to love yourself.
Under 4 "A's": You're a level-headed lover.
Like every healthy person, you enjoy being in love but it doesn't drive your life or edge out anything else. You know that the thrill can come and go. Keep that reasonable head on your shoulders so you can still enjoy the moment without sabotaging the rest of your life.
