Do you know what women want on a first date? …

… I ask in the very revealing test I invented today. With it, I had my (male) classmates discover what kind of Don Juan they are … You wanna join them? 😉

When you pick up your date, the first thing you say is …

a) that she is looking beautiful. (A)

b) that you have to hurry because your car is parked in a restricted stopping zone. (C)

c) nothing. You just smile in amazement when you see her. (B)

On the way to the restaurant, you …

b) ask her about her day. (B)

c) start discussing philosophy with her. (A)

Having parked the car in front of the restaurant …

a) you run as if stung by an adder to the entry : when she has caught up with you, you hold the door open, nodding slightly. (A)

b) you nonchalantly put your arm around her shoulder, whistling the current number one hit of the UK charts, and stroll into the restaurant. (C)

c) you stop, look straight into her eyes and say how glad you are to be there with her. (B)

At the table, …

a) it is you who decides what the two of you are going to eat. (C)

b) you ask the woman for advice on the menu. (B)

c) you ask the woman what she wants to eat, but already know the answer – you can feel what she likes. (A)

When your female companion meets someone she knows …

a) you engage a conversation with that person and invite him/ her to your table. (B)

In the restaurant, you always …

a) let the woman get the bill. (C)

b) pay everything. (A)

c) pay exactly what you ate and nothing more. (B)

The first kiss …

a) is a matter of hours for you. There IS no first date without it. (C)

b) you ask her if she has coffee at home. (C)

c) you just look at her and kiss her goobye. (B)

A majority of As : You are the perfect old-style knight. You put women on a pedestal. However, you might think over your methods – the Middle Ages are over !

A majority of Bs : You really understand what modern women want. They feel flattered by your attention but not hassled. Still, take care : there is a little princess in every woman. And princesses sometimes need a knight …

A majority of Cs : Seriously, there is a long way to go until you are Don Juan (be it the old-style or the modern one). You sometimes try to seduce with a James Bond attitude, but you tend to be too cool and egocentric to make women’s hearts beat faster. Try some romantic novels !
