Got a crush or need a new one? Fun and FREE online love, dating, and romance at eCRUSH

Getting someone to go out with you is great, but it's only the beginning - the real test is how you take it from there. Most of us admit that first dates turn us into a quivering mass of Jello, but even if you think you're Rico Suave, it never hurts see how your dating skills rate.

This test should give you a ballpark idea of whether or not you could use a little tune-up in manners or quick thinking. Of course, every date is totally unique, so we don't want to pretend that a good score here equals Guaranteed Love City from here on out.

And just in case you were wondering... This quiz is just for fun, so if you don't like the score you get, take the quiz again and LIE!
