Your result!

You’re Miss Play-It-Too-Coy You’re the Princess of Cool, but you could end up all alone in that ivory tower. It may be shyness or lack of social skills, but sadly, you’re missing out. Lighten up! Even if it is sometimes clumsy, flirting is a basic instinct – a primal drive that you should unleash. Relax and be yourself! You may meet a man who’ll make you melt.

Take the quiz again?

Your result!

You’re The Real Deal Man-magnet. You’re a naturally flirty lady, which is great! You have the measure of most men and love them to bits. You recognise that flirting is all about making somebody else feel good about themselves - and maybe they’ll give you a boost back. It’s pretty innocent, inconsequential stuff, really – but we rather like it.

Take the quiz again?

Your result!

You’re A Hot Mess You think you can win a flirting championship - but sorry, you’d flop like your hair on a bad day! You may well have charisma, so why try so hard? You get attention, but be careful not to get a reputation as a tease. Flirting is not directly about sex. It’s more about a lust for life. So you’re irresistible – great. But sometimes less is more!
