Simple Love Tester

Love Tester

I believe in love. I believe that Love is more powerful than anything else in the world. True love gives us such a great deal of happiness and satisfaction that no amount of money in the world could get.

People think that they are in love. Because of lack of social skills, there are many people out there that think that they have a real love, when, in fact, they do not.

I consider myself a social butterfly, and for about three years, I was a partner in a matchmaking service, where I interviewed countless men and women, advising them about relationships.

To help you, I have designed a “Love Meter”. Go ahead and give it a go. It will help you understand if you are, in fact, in a loving relationship, or nowhere near it.
I hope you have fun with the love meter and use it to improve your current relationship or get a better one.

If you think that you are unable to answer some of the questions because those situations have not come up yet, it is a sign that your relationship is in early stages and cannot be tested yet. You want to work on those subjects, to see how the relationship goes.
Answer the following questions. You must be honest if you want accurate results.
