About This Quiz

Musicians have always sung about the sweetness of love, but is your love life as delicious as mango ice cream, or is it more of a Rocky Road? Are you covering your sundaes in tantalizing forbidden fruit, or have you got a hankering for your very own spouse?

For this quiz, we want to know who you're whispering sweet nothings to! If you're curious about whether your love life is vanilla or hotter than chocolate fudge, tell us all about yourself, and we'll guess whether you're in a long-term relationship, happily single or savoring a new relationship's delectable honeymoon phase. Whether your current love interest is the apple of your eye or an acquired taste, this quiz will be able to diagnose the ice cream topping that summarizes the state of your heart at the moment.

We're going to ask you about your celebrity crushes, how your dates are going lately and whether you'd rather date someone 30 years older than you or never date again. We also want to know a bit about your palate: do you crave pistachio gelato, or is bubblegum ice cream more your speed? If you're ready for a journey of sweet self-discovery, it's time to play this quiz!

Leave!

Tune it out
Roll my eyes

Feel shattered, then try twice as hard to please my date

Have you ever asked someone out, or are you the kind of person who waits to be pursued?

As soon as I'm attracted to someone, I ask them out.

Eek, asking someone out sounds scary!
Sure. Asking someone on a date is just a normal adult skill.

I haven't asked anyone out, but I tend to send out pretty obvious hints.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how fun have your dates been lately?

9. I'm a dating expert!

Are you comfortable flashing a little skin, or are you the buttoned-up type?

Gotta show the people what they want!

I'm not very self-confident, so my clothes are modest.
I'm not shy, but I prefer comfortable clothes.

A little skin makes me feel flirty!

How do you take your ice cream?

In a big, crunchy waffle cone

Kid-size, in a cup
In a bowl with fudge, sprinkles and nuts

I adore ice cream bars.

If you read "live laugh love" in someone's online dating profile, would it make you more or less likely to message them?

Less likely. That's too twee for me.

More likely. I appreciate their enthusiasm.
I would never, ever message that person.

If I were single, I would message that person immediately.

Which of the fruit below do you like best?

Papaya

Blueberries
Apples

Raspberries

If you had to choose between going on a road trip with your current partner or going on a road trip with Rihanna, which one would you choose?

Rihanna. She might ditch me along the way, but it would be worth it.

Even the queen of pop couldn't lure me away from my babe.

Dancing dirty at the club

Watching my partner play video games
Grabbing dinner with my partner and our couple friends

My partner is objectively the most attractive person who has ever lived!

Off an attractive person's belly

At the county fair
Um, "where" doesn't matter. I just want my ice cream!

On the boardwalk

Which of these things embarrasses you the most?

The only thing that embarrasses me is when other people are embarrassed.

Public speaking
Farting at work

Having bad breath

Do you enjoy public displays of affection?

I don't seek them out, but I don't mind them.

They make me sad. I've never been carried away by passion in public.
No. They're cheesy.

They're SO CUTE and I do them all the time!

A milkshake, a banana split or an ice cream cake: Which one reminds you of your honey?

A Baked Alaska, actually, because they're luxe as heck.

An ice cream cake, because my love interest is hard to pin down.
A milkshake, because my boo is thick and wholesome.

A banana split, because my person is adorably old-fashioned!

How do you and your love interest like spending your Sundays?

Rolling around in bed

Brunching with our friends
Taking care of the laundry

Going to church

Do you still get excited when you hear the ice cream truck coming?

Sure! I'm only human.

No. That feeling belongs to Kid Me, not Adult Me.
No. None of their ice creams is all that good.

Yes. I rummage for change in the sofa cushions and then run after them!

Would you rather date someone tall but foolish or short but whip-smart?

Short but whip-smart. That's my type!

Tall but foolish. It's what I'm used to.
Whip-smart, of course. Height isn't important in a long-term relationship.

I don't care about qualities like height or intelligence; it's all about our chemistry.

Do you like taking pictures with your love interest more than you actually like THEM?

No. I think selfies are dumb.

Yes. The likes and hearts our pictures get make me feel like our relationship must be going well.
I don't post on social media.

I love taking pics with my darling, but not more than I love my darling!

How would you describe your current relationship?

I don't know if it's forever, but I'm having a very good time.

I'm not really dating anyone right now.
We've been together forever, which is both good and bad.

We were voted "Best Couple" in high school and I think we still are!

Would you rather date someone 30 years older than you or never date again?

I'll take the older person. Might be weird but maybe it would be cool!

Never date again. Just, ew.
If they were 30 years older than me, they'd probably be in a rest home. So I'd rather stop dating.

If I can't be with my true love, I might as well never date again.

How long does it take you to eat an ice cream cone?

Half an hour. I make it last!

About 10 minutes. That's normal, right?
Five minutes. I tend to gobble them down.

About 15 minutes, because my partner and I take turns licking the same cone.

Do you think the person you're currently with is "the one"?

Nope, but who cares?

No. But I'm starting to doubt whether anyone is right for me.
Maybe. Even though we're not soulmates, we've been together for a long time.

Yes. I can't wait to marry them!

If you had to choose between dating one of your parents' friends or dating an ex-felon, which one would you choose?

Depends on what the ex-felon did.

Ugh! One of my parents' friends, I guess?
One of my parents' friends. Hey, at least we'd have some things in common!

Both of those options sound awful.

Are you stuck doing most of the chores in your relationship, or is it the other way around?

I live alone, so that's not an issue I deal with.

I don't have a partner but I do have roommates, and yes, I do most of the cleaning.
I nag my partner into doing more than their fair share of chores.

We split chores evenly, used a color-coded chore wheel.

If an old flame from college messaged you right now and asked you to meet them for ice cream, would you say yes?

Heck yeah!

I'd anxiously overthink it for hours and then say no.
Maybe. I'd probably spy on their social media to see if they're still cute before committing.

No! That would be a betrayal of my current relationship.
