Consider this a simulation rather than a traditional test of skills. There are no wrong answers. The purpose of these exercises is to test your resourcefulness, your ingenuity, and your presence of mind...when faced with one of "life's little surprises".

To get the maximum benefit from this test, take it twice. The first time, allow yourself no time to think. Answer with the first thing that pops into your head. In "real life", you need to react almost instantly to developing situations. The second time, you can allow yourself the luxury of pondering at length on what you would have done, a sort of leisurely post mortem.

Many of the situations presented here have actually taken place.

1. As you walk from a store, a young woman approaches you. She boldly announces, with a mischievous grin on her face, that she had been watching you paw through the cookware. "I could tell, you add up the prices in your head", she says. How do you answer?

2. Walking down the street, you notice an attractive single woman several hundred feet away seem to stare at you, possibly even smile. Do you approach her? How? What do you say?

3. At the supermarket, a well-dressed single woman stares into your shopping cart. She remarks that you seem to have a special liking for canned spaghetti. Could she be "hitting" on you or is she just making a joke at your expense?

4. You have been good, but not intimate friends with a woman for years. She trusts and confides in you. She is in the process of breaking up with her longtime boyfriend. She turns to you for comfort and solace. Is it time for something more than friendship between the two of you?

5. On the street, you run into a classmate from high school. She walks right up to you and starts chatting, as if she had seen you just last week, rather than a decade ago. She would not have con descended to notice you back in school, but now she is extremely friendly, even intrusive. Do you respond to her overtures?

6. At work, a single woman loudly announces to her friends that she would accept an invitation from "anyone" to a certain dance club. She is looking in your direction and she seems to have taken pains to ensure you will overhear her. You scarcely know the woman, and had not even considered approaching her. What to do?

7. As the office party breaks up, amidst considerable noise and confusion, a woman you hardly know grabs you and kisses you on the lips, hard (you rather enjoy the sensation). Is she drunk, or does this indicate genuine interest in you?

8. The woman you have been going out with consistently shows up late for dates, at times an hour or more. She always has an excuse, but you are beginning to get somewhat annoyed.

9. As you pass a group of single young women on the street, one of them makes a rather suggestive remark about you, to the accompaniment of raucous laughter from the others.

10. The disastrous blind date scenario. A good friend has set you up with "the perfect woman for you". You talked with her on the phone and seemed to hit it off. When you show up at the rendezvous, here is this alluring Hollywood film star wannabe in a tight fitting sweater, reeking of expensive perfume, literally oozing glamour, and flaunting her good looks.

She takes one look at you and visibly recoils. She seemed to have been expecting a male counterpart, and her distaste for you is all too plain.

If there are no wrong answers, neither are there correct ones to the problems given. A workable strategy depends not only on the situation and the people involved, but also on timing, "delivery", and a good measure of luck. The following are only suggestions, tantalizing hints to provoke your thinking. Detailed solutions are left as an "exercise for the reader".

Here are the corresponding numbered answers to match the questions:

1. Smile. That's always a good start. "Hmmm, I'm honored that you consider my shopping technique worthy of your attention, ma'am. While I don't consider shopping for frying pans a critically important activity, all the same, I do my humble best. And, no, I can't quite track all the prices, as I seem to have a sticking digit somewhere behind my left eye. It helps if I whack my forehead occasionally, like so..."

2. Smile back. Wave. Give her the chance to respond. If she does not, shrug your shoulders and walk on.

3. "Well, yes, I enjoy this particular brand for the tangy metallic flavor of the sauce. For a fellow who finds boiling water a nearly impossible task, I think I do a pretty fair job at making this stuff fit to eat."

4. Remain friends. Give her comfort and support, but be extremely wary of becoming more closely involved with her, at least at this time.

5. Talk is cheap. Stay noncommittal, and let her carry the burden of the conversation.

6. This is a double whammy. On the one hand, she is displaying behavior typical of a giggly teenager. On the other, she is making it perfectly clear that she would be using you only as a convenience, to provide an escort for her into the club, and that any generic male would do as well. Let her find another victim.

7. The next working day, flowers for her arrive at the office, with an unsigned card saying; "The kiss lingers".

8. You seem to be number 468 on her list of priorities. Have a long talk with her, but realize the relationship may be in serious trouble.

9. Rudeness has become a national epidemic. Consider this a minor annoyance, the equivalent of bird droppings falling on you from the sky. Keep walking.

10. "I'm not quite what you were expecting, Leila. It does appear that we are quite unsuited for each other, and I would be most happy to relieve you of the obligation of spending the evening with me."

Put her into a taxi. Go home. Cook yourself spicy pasta. Read a good book. Consider yourself fortunate not to have wasted a perfectly fine evening entertaining an airhead.

Construct other possible scenarios, based on your own experience and on what you have read and heard about. Act out what you would do, speaking your role aloud, as if you were a performer in a play. For added realism, you may enlist a friend or family member to play the role of the woman involved.

Be aware, though, that when "the real thing" comes, it will be unexpected and most likely take you completely by surprise.

Let me give you some valuable advice about problem relationships and marriage. If you ever get involved in a incompatible relationship where all you do is fuss and fight, break up several times, and the whole relationship is nothing but one big emotional roller coaster, and you think that if you get married things will get better and you will be able to work things out you're making a big mistake!

Trust me, I know from experience that things will only get worse! When you start living together on a permanent basis all these problems will only get worse. And don't ever think that you can change her ways once you get married. You can't change a person. You have to accept them as they are or just move on.

I don't mean to scare you about the institution of marriage. It's a wonderful experience if you choose the right partner. If you don't, your life can be a living hell. Please please please take marriage very seriously. Don't go into a marriage thinking that if it does not work out, I'll just get a divorce. Divorce leaves emotional scars and if there are children involved, it really makes it difficult.

So, to wrap things up, I just want you to be selective in your choice for a lifetime mate. If you are incompatible and it's a very stormy relationship you may be making a big mistake by marrying her.

Did you know that a woman will judge you on a first date on how you like her dog or cat? I really don't think it is sometimes fair, but if her pet does not like you then you don't get a second date. Sounds crazy doesn't it?

Well, to some women a pet is just like a member of a family and if you don't pay any attention to her pet, then it is a turnoff. If you just ignore her pet and don't even make an attempt to pet and talk to it, then you are asking for trouble.

So, my advice is that as soon as you are inside her house or apartment and see her pet or pets, go them right away and pet and talk to them. This will make a good impression on your date and you will score points.

Also, to be on the safe side ask her if her pets bite before attempting to pet them. If she says they don't bite and they act very hostile to you then you will have to use good judgement.

In conclusion, go out of your way to be friendly towards her pet. You just never know that she may be the type that uses her pets to make a judgement whether to see you again.

Here is our date from hell winner from our contest on my website. You can enter too to win a book by Clicking Here.
I asked out an attractive woman, Karen. I met Karen at the park. I took her around town for lunch, dinner, clubs, or whatever, but no matter where we went, it seemed she knew every guy that walked through any door. she called each one over and gave them a big hug and kiss and talked with them in a flirting manner for a couple of minutes. When she wasn't greeting this endless stream of men, she was checking out all the other guys in the place. On one of those dates I couldn't take it anymore. I told her I had to be home early, she then asked me if I could drop her off at a friends house. I agreed to take her. This so called "friend" turned out to be some guy, whom she passionately kissed when he opened the door. Then as was driving off, she turned and waived to me, I drove off totally humiliated in my car. As you can see by now. I never called her again.

Our lucky winner of this contest, F. Cruz, was awarded any free book of his choice from our catalog of products on meeting, dating, attracting, and seducing single women.

It's a sad fact of life, but at some point in your life you will get dumped by a girlfriend. And, no guy likes to get dumped, especially by someone you cared for and loved. But, love is a two-way street. Both parties have to love and nurture a relationship to keep it alive. It's no good to be involved in a one-way relationship with a woman that you love and she does not love you back.

I know you're going to feel like crap in the beginning after your girlfriend breaks up with you. But, you will get over her a hell of a lot easier if you will take these steps to get over her and get on with your life:

1. Don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself and try to scheme up ways to get your girlfriend back. Don't make any efforts whatsoever and whatever you do, don't call her or write her. You need to block her out of your life completely and pretend that she does not even exist on this earth anymore.

2. If you have any pictures of her laying around, on the wall, or in your wallet, hide them in your attic or somewhere where you will not likely see them. Even better, throw them away or burn them. You could be nice and return them to her if you desire.

3. Here's a good ritual to get her out of your system: Sit down and write her a letter telling her pissed off and hurt you are about her dumping you and tell her good bye and you don't want to ever see her again. Don't mail this letter, but just set it aside somewhere. This is just a good way to vent your feelings and make you feel better.

AQUARIUS single women (January 20 - February 18) - Very intelligent and you must appeal to her mind. Can be very elusive and afraid of commitment. There are a lot of bachelorettes born under this sign and they usually marry late in life.

She's a strong believer in friendship and will remain your friend even after you have broken up. Keep in mind that they can be a little cold- natured, so if you're expecting a hot & sexy passionate sex-goddess, then you may be disappointed.
