Quiz: The 'ex' files
Are you too close to your last relationship? Wondering if you're over your ex? Take this quick quiz to find out if your past relationships have been left behind for good.
1. How are you handling your last break-up?
• Still have a shrine to your ex in your bedroom. (Score = 1)
• Finally stopped writing that letter every week telling him/her you've changed. (Score = 2)
• Still get a pang at the sound of your ex's name. (Score = 3)
• Hold fond memories of your time together, but are ready to start something new. (Score = 4)
• Are in danger of having a restraining order issued against you. (Score = -1)
2. When it comes to love, you are:
• Hopeless — "I'll never find anyone as good as my ex." (Score = 1)
• Resigned — "It never works out. Just look at my track record." (Score = 2)
• Cautiously optimistic — "I suppose it could happen." (Score = 3)
• Positive — "Eventually we're going to find each other." (Score = 4)
• Bitter — "What else could I be after my last relationship?" (Score = -1)
3. When you meet someone new, you:
• Brush them off because they have the same name as your ex. (Score = 1)
• Reject them for having similar interests or physical attributes to your ex. (Score = 2)
• Wonder if you're ready to date again. (Score = 3)
• Stay philosophical — meeting someone is pretty harmless whether you're ready to date or not. (Score = 4)
• Wish they were your ex. (Score = -1)
4. Your New Year's resolution was to:
• Find someone just like your ex. (Score = 1)

• Camp out in front of your ex's house until s/he takes you back. (Score = -1)
5. Based on your last relationship, what movie best describes your feeling about love:
• "Bridge On the River Kwai" — Love, like war, is hell.(Score = 1)
• "Fight Club" — It was a battle royale. (Score = 2)
• "Freaky Friday" — It was a little weird. (Score = 3)
• "You've Got Mail" — If I date enough, I'm bound to find the right person. (Score = 4)
• "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" — Love is scary and bloody. (Score = -1)
Less than 0: The only thing you're over is the top. It might be time to seek professional help to get you past your past.
0-5: Ooph. You're still smarting from your last relationship. Until you leave it behind, you won't be in a position to find a better match.
6-10: The past is living in your present. Why not shed the baggage you brought with you and find a new suitcase to fill?
11-15: You're almost over your last break-up. Take a deep breath, toss out the last of the photos and search for a new sweetie here.
16-20: You've successfully recovered from your last relationship and are ready to love again.

Pequeña prueba en torno a tu relación con tu ex
Traducción de Vicki L. Olton
¿Estás demasiado enviciado/a con tu última relación? ¿No sabes si todavía existe algo entre tú y tu ex? Toma esta pequeña prueba para ver de verdad si tus relaciones previas son cosas del pasado.
1. ¿Cómo enfrentas el rompimiento con tu última relación?
• Todavía tengo a mi ex en un santuario de mi dormitorio. (Puntos = 1)
• Finalmente has dejado de escribirle esa carta cada semana a él/ella contándole que has cambiado. (Puntos = 2)
• Todavía siento una punzada al oír el nombre de mi ex. (Puntos = 3)
• Tengo memorias cariñosas del tiempo que pasé con mi ex, pero estoy listo/a para empezar de nuevo con otro/a (Puntos = 4)
• Corro el peligro de recibir una orden judicial contra mí. (Puntos = -1)
2. En cuanto al amor, eres:
• Desesperanzado — "Nunca encontraré alguien tan perfecto como mi ex." (Puntos = 1)
• Renunciado — "Nunca resulta bien. Se ve en mis relaciones anteriores.” (Puntos = 2)
• Optimista, pero con cuidado — "Supongo que alguna vez voy a encontrarlo/a." (Puntos = 3)
• Positivo — "Con el tiempo nos vamos a encontrar el uno y el otro." (Puntos = 4)
• Amargado — "¿Qué otra cosa podría ser como resultado de mi última relación?” (Puntos = -1)
3. Cuando te encuentras a alguien nuevo:
• A esa persona le das calabazas porque tiene el mismo nombre que tu ex. (Puntos = 1)
• Lo/la rechazas a él/ella simplemente porque tiene intereses o atributos físicos semejantes a tu ex. (Puntos = 2)
• No estás seguro si estás listo/a para salir con otro/a de nuevo. (Puntos = 3)
• Tienes ideas filosóficas — Nada se arriesga al salir con alguien aunque no te sientas listo/a. (Puntos = 4)
• Esperas que esa persona fuera tu ex. (Puntos = -1)
4. Tu resolución del año nuevo era:
• Encontrar a alguien igualito que mi ex. (Puntos = 1)
• Botar todas las cosas que me traen memorias de mis relaciones anteriores. (Puntos = 2)
• Tratar de dejar todas las cosas del pasado en el pasado. (Puntos = 3)
• Encontrar a alguien con el cual realmente puedas empezar de nuevo. (Puntos = 4)
• Acampar enfrente de la casa de tu ex hasta que te acepte otra vez. (Puntos = -1)
5. En cuanto a tu ultima relación, ¿cuál es la película que mejor describe tus creencias sobre el amor?
• "El puente sobre el Río Kwai" — El amor, como la guerra, es el infierno. (Puntos = 1)
• "El Club de Lucha Libre” — Era una gran batalla. (Puntos = 2)
• "Viernes loco" — Era un poco raro. (Puntos = 3)
• "Tienes correo en tu bandeja de entrada" — Si salgo mucho, lo más seguro es que vaya a encontrar la persona perfecta para mí. (Puntos = 4)
• "El asesino tejano de la sierra eléctrtica" — El amor es oscuro y sangriento. (Puntos = -1)
Menos de 0: Te pasaste. Tal vez es el momento de procurar ayuda profesional para olvidar tu pasado.
0-5: Aaaay. Todavía te duele pensar en tu última relación. Hasta que no olvides tu relación pasada, nunca serás capaz de encontrar esa persona perfecta.
6-10: Vives en el pasado. ¿Por qué no olvidar el pasado y empezar de nuevo, buscando otro/a?
11-15: Casi has olvidado/a de tu última relación. Respira hondo, bota las últimas fotos y busca un nuevo amor ya.
16-20: Te has recuperado bien de tu última relación y estás listo/a para amar a alguien otra vez.
