    • Beginning to accept that we weren't a good match.

  • Back when you and your last BF/GF were dating, he/she loaned you a cd. Now that you've broken up, you'll probably:

    • Give it back the next time we hang out.
    • Give it back eventually, unless I forget which of my exes loaned it to me.
    • Give it back, and lend him/her one of mine at the same time. That way, we'll have to stay in touch, right?
    • Send him/her a long email about how much each song means to me.
    • Cry whenever I hear that band mentioned.

  • After a breakup, do you ever want to change things about yourself?

    • No, not really.
    • I just want to change it so I'm in a relationship again -- with someone new.
    • I just wish I had magic powers, so I could wave a wand and make my ex hideously ugly.
    • The only change I want is for us to get back together.
    • I might change where I hang out for a while.
    • I might get a new haircut or some new clothes.
    • Yes. I wish I could change everything about myself.

  • A few months after the breakup, your ex sends out a mass email inviting people to his/her birthday celebration, and you're on the list. You:

    • Reply and say, "Of course I'll be there."
    • RSVP +1 and bring a date.
    • Make sure I look amazing that night, and bring a really nice gift.
    • Can't stop smiling all day. He/she obviously still likes me.
    • Feel really sad.
    • Ignore it. I'm sure he/she didn't mean to invite me.
    • Have a new mission in life -- ruining my ex's birthday.

  • You and your ex have the same favorite band, and while you were still together, you bought general admission tickets to their show next month. What's the most likely scenario?

    • We'll probably each go with other people.
    • We'll go together and have fun, but we won't hook up.
    • We'll go, and maybe reconnect a little.
    • We'll go separately, stay as far apart as possible, and ignore each other.
    • I'll probably treat it like a date, because it sort of is one, right?
    • There's no way I'll go. It would be too painful.
    • There's no way he/she will show up. I've made it clear that I would freak.

  • Back when you two were dating, you posted a cute, couple-y photo on your online profile. Do you take it down when you guys break up?

    • No way. It gives me hope.
    • Maybe, but I'll save it on my computer for when we get back together.
    • Probably, but I'll keep a copy in my Ex Box. (I keep memorabilia from all my old relationships.)
    • Yes. If I could delete our entire relationship with one click, I'd probably get rid of that, too.
    • Yes, because looking at it pokes holes in my heart.
    • Yes, but then I'll draw on it, and post an updated version in which he/she looks like an evil demon.

  • If you run into your most recent ex at a friend's party a few weeks after the breakup, and he/she is holding hands with a super-cute stranger, how will you react?

    • I'll be extremely uncomfortable, but I'll do my best to appear calm.
    • I'll ignore them.
    • I'll roll my eyes. It's pretty obvious he/she is just trying to make me jealous.
    • I'll wait until I can talk to the cute stranger alone, and warn him/her that my ex is stupid, cruel, and possibly insane.
    • I'll go over and say hi.
    • I'll leave. Coming to the party was a bad idea.
    • I'll wave, and then introduce myself to the attractive DJ.

  • If you could take one trip in a relationship time machine, where would you go?

    • I'd travel to the future and check out my future husband/wife.
    • I'd travel to the future and check when we'll end up getting back together.
    • I'd skip ahead to a time when I'm happier, even if it means I miss out on a few months of my life.
    • I'd travel back in time to before we dated and make sure it never happens.
    • I'd travel back to the happiest part of our relationship and try to make it last.
    • I'd travel back in time just so I can dump him/her first. It's only fair.
    • Time machine? No thanks. I prefer the present.
