What QUALITIES do I look for? Oh, ha ha ha. Could be anything, really. I'll never be able to guess who I'll fall in love with next.

But I must say I like it when a woman radiates warmth, humor, playfulness, and a feeling of well-being. Other turn-ons: sublimity, taste, deft communication capabilities, hedonism, and maybe a bit of mischievousness.

Love - "true love, pure love" - however, is another thing. Here's a test to determine whether you really LOVE someone:

It's written from the viewpoint of a male only because I am one; if you are female, switch the pronouns.

You and your date are at an ice-cream stand. She's broke, and you have only enough money to buy a delicious banana split with hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, a heaping pile of whipped cream, and oodles of cherries. You want that sundae, and you know she wants it, too, though she tries not to show it.

Now, of course you're going to buy it for her. What decent person wouldn't?

But love, as they say, is on the inside, not on the outside. So the question is - honestly - why did you give it to her? Now, I'm not saying that all answers but the "correct" one are necessarily bad, though, in my opinion, only one of the answers means you love her.

a) because it's the polite thing to do on a date, and you don't want to look like an ass.

b) because it's the polite thing to do on a date, and you don't want to offend her.

c) because you want to increase the chances that she'll treat you when you're broke. And if she doesn't, you can just remind her of this instance.

d) because you want to score some points with her father, who's the chairman of the company you work for.

e) because you want to score some "good karma" points with God, and increase the chances of good things happening to you.

e) because you want to score some points with her later on that evening.

f) because some voice in your head told you that if you didn't buy her the sundae, a safe would drop on your head.

g) because whenever you see her enjoying something, and whenever you see her happy and excited, you get such a warm, content feeling inside you, you would do anything to see her this happy, and so on and so forth.

So which one is it?
