About This Quiz

Being a girlfriend is not easy, at least for most women it's not. But are you the kind of woman who loves having someone in your life? Or can you not stand the idea of having to constantly text, call or be with someone? Some of us aren't sure whether we're girlfriend material or not. This is why we've written this quiz- you know, to help out some of the ladies who need answers about whether they should or should not be in a relationship, whether they'd make a good girlfriend or a horrible one. 

Are you in the 20s or younger? If so, you really aren't meant to be a girlfriend yet. Are you 50% of the way there? You're kind of on the fence- sometimes you want a bae and sometimes you just want to be alone. Are you in your 30s? That certainly means that you're girlfriend material, but you may also value your time alone. Are so much of girlfriend material that you can be considered a wife?  Or do you just not know at all?

Now that we've got you good and curious, it's time to find out if you're 100 percent girlfriend material, zero percent, or somewhere in between. Let's get started!

No idea
I know if they are jealously tracking my motions early on, that's a bad sign.
I know if they are mean to the waiter, that is eventually how they will talk to me.
Yes - if they are contemptuous, disrespectful of boundaries, jealous, controlling, or trying to isolate me from those close to me (without an amazing reason e.g. I'm close to a literal drug dealer), those are all red flags - which happily my boo does not have.
Do you avoid tough conversations?
Of course
Sometimes
Once in a while
Nope, there's no way around them and they just get worse if you delay.

I like it, if it is a duty I chose.
It's actually a source of great joy.
Do you know how to be discreet about your partner's vulnerabilities and flaws, when appropriate?
I don't see the point of that.
