1. You are walking to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house. There are two roads to get there. One is a straight path which takes you there quickly, but is very plain and boring. The other is curvy and full of wonderful sights on the way, but takes quite a while to reach your love's house. Which path do you choose? The short path or the long path?

2. On the way, you see two rose bushes. One is full of white roses, and the other is full of red roses. You decide to pick twenty roses for your boyfriend/girlfriend. You can pick twenty red, twenty white, ten red and ten white, or whatever color combination you want. What color combination do you choose?

3. You finally get to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house. You ring the bell and a family member answers the door. You can ask the family member to please get your love, or you may get him/her yourself. What do you do? Ask, or get your love yourself?

4. Now you go up to your boyfriend/girlfriend's room. No one is there. You can leave the roses on the window sill or on the bed. Where do you put the roses? On the window sill or on the bed?

5. Later, it's time for bed. You and your love go to sleep in separate rooms. You wake up in the morning and go to your boyfriend/girlfriend's room to check up on him/her. When you enter the room, is your love awake or sleeping?

6. Now it's time to go home and you start to head back. You can take either road home now. Which road do you choose? The plain, boring one that gets you home fast, or the curvy, sight-filled road on which you can just take your time?

1. You are walking to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house. There are two roads to get there. One is a straight path which takes you there quickly, but is very plain and boring. The other is curvy and full of wonderful sights on the way, but takes quite a while to reach your love's house. Which path do you choose? The short path or the long path?

   The road represents your attitude towards falling in love. If you chose the short one, you fall in love quickly and easily. If you chose the long one, you take your time and do not fall in love easily.

2. On the way, you see two rose bushes. One is full of white roses, and the other is full of red roses. You decide to pick twenty roses for your boyfriend/girlfriend. You can pick twenty red, twenty white, ten red and ten white, or whatever color combination you want. What color combination do you choose?

   The proportion of red roses represents how much you expect to give in a relationship. The proportion of white roses represents how much you expect to get back in a relationship. So if a person chose eighteen red roses and only two white roses, he/she gives ninety percent in the relationship but expects to receive only ten percent back.

3. You finally get to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house. You ring the bell and a family member answers the door. You can ask the family member to please get your love, or you may get him/her yourself. What do you do? Ask, or get your love yourself?

   This question shows your attitude in handling relationship problems. If you asked the family member to get your love, then you're the type to avoid problems. If you went to get your love yourself, then you're pretty direct and work out the problem right away.

4. Now you go up to your boyfriend/girlfriend's room. No one is there. You can leave the roses on the window sill or on the bed. Where do you put the roses? On the window sill or on the bed?

   The placement of the roses indicate how often you would like to see your boyfriend/girlfriend. Putting the roses on the bed means you want to see your love a lot, whereas placement by the window means that seeing each other once and a while is okay.

5. Later, it's time for bed. You and your love go to sleep in separate rooms. You wake up in the morning and go to your boyfriend/girlfriend's room to check up on him/her. When you enter the room, is your love awake or sleeping?

   Finding your love asleep: You accept your love the way he/she is.
   Finding your love awake: You expect your love to change for you.

6. Now it's time to go home and you start to head back. You can take either road home now. Which road do you choose? The plain, boring one that gets you home fast, or the curvy, sight-filled road on which you can just take your time?

   The short and long roads now represent how long you stay in love. If you chose the short road, you fall out of love easily. If you choose the long road, you tend to stay in love for a long time.
