Follow the rules (at least here)!

Note: Cheating will not make a difference either to you or to us.

Poisonous snake: If there's a tasty dish kept between you and your date, how would you proceed?

Ladder A: Just take it and start eating. (What? You want me to stare at it?)
Ladder B: I need to check if there are no onions and tomatoes in the dish.
Ladder C: Serve my date and then serve myself. And then both of us have a 'bon-appetit'.
Ladder D: I get too nervous to eat when my date is along with me.

Philippine cobra snake: How many dates have you been on before?

Ladder C: Several with my beloved.

Viper: What ambience would you like to have on a date?

Ladder A: Dark, great food and no candles on the table (it's too cliched).
Ladder B: My date's home.
Ladder C: Any decent and romantic ambience will do. The person matters more.
Ladder D: Maybe the college campus, or after work in the bus/train.

I mostly climbed 'A' ladders: You are a dominant person and can be hard to manage or satisfy. A highly dominant person of the opposite-sex would readily date you.

I mostly stuck with 'B' ladders: You are highly self-obsessed. You don't need to go for dates; if you go on any, it's mainly to preach.

I was mostly glued to 'C' ladders: You're the 'perfectosweet- partner'. Any person would vroom and drool to date you.

I didn't shift from the 'D' ladders: You'll surely get an edible date but never a real date, unless you move out of your suppressed-geeky-nervous zone. Don't turn into a Devdas after reading this; hope is never lost. Relish edible dates until then.
