QUIZ: How Romantic Are You?

Let’s find out.

WE IRISH AREN’T exactly known for our smooth moves.

Rather than a long walk on the beach, it’s kind of more like a furtive glance across the dancefloor in Coppers. Or have things changed?

Well, there’s only one thing for it. Take our quiz and find out just how romantic you truly are…

1. Where would you take someone on a first date?
Chipper. Everyone likes chipper, right?
The seaside at sunset.

Um. A movie?
Dinner and drinks. The old reliable.
2. How do you feel about Valentine's?
Hallmark rubbish.
A chance to show you care. Why not?
3. Pick a romantic song to set the mood.
Close To You by The Carpenters.
Maniac 2000 by Mark MacCabe.

She Loves You by The Beatles.
Into Your Arms by Nick Cave.
4. Your partner says "I love you." What do you reply?
"Love you too."
"Thanks mate."
5. What are your thoughts on bodily functions and significant others?
Nope. Never. Absolutely not.
Hey - we're close. It's an expression of intimacy.

I mean, discreetly is fine. Right?
Ah here. Not if it can be helped.
6. Pick a chat-up line.
"Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven?"
"It's twenty past two - you'll do."

"If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"
"You look beautiful in this light."

Smooth Operator
You're totally mushy, but not over the top. You appreciate the little things about your partner, but you're not going to make anyone puke with the grand statements. Nice one.

Secret Softie
You wouldn't think it to look at you - but you definitely have your moments. It might not be chocolates, diamonds or declarations of love - but you shine when the time is right. You should maybe try chocolates sometimes though, OK?

Hopeless Romantic
And by hopeless - we mean HOPELESS. You haven't got a romantic bone in your entire body. Petrol station flowers on the way home on Valentine's is about as far as you get, eh?
