Part 2 of our cuffing season series.  Click here for part 1 and get some cool date ideas.

 

So, it's deep into cuddle season and you've found your Mr. or Mrs. Right Now.  The cooler weather and the shorter days have helped to keep people from going astray, making this all possible.  And now you're confident enough to think this may be the start of something great.  There's just one catch:  You don't know if they feel the same way.  You can try being straightforward and just asking them how they feel about you, but it's 2015 and that doesn't work anymore.  So your only option is to take this quiz below to find out whether you've got something that can stand the test of time, or something that will blow away like sand in the wind.  If a statement describes your situation, adjust your points accordingly.  Add up your final score to see where you stand.
