**SCORING**

                              ~25-36 Points~

*LOOKS LIKE A LOVE STORY*

     The two of you sure sound like a love connection.  What's keeping
you from becoming a couple?  He may be a littlw shy or unsure of how 
to approach you about hooking up, but he's using every trick in the 
book to let you know you're on the top of his lest.  You read each 
other well and if you're up for becoming a couple, you might consider 
writing the next part of this passion play yourself.  Think about asking
him out.  What you've got is a character who's shown he thinks you're 
special.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                              ~20-24 Points~

*THE PLOT THICKENS*

     The story so far shows that the two of you are great pals.  Whether 
a plot twist occurs that takes you from being pals to being a pair is 
kind of up to you.  Keep in mind that an element ofintrigue isn't always 
enough to trun a tale of friendship into a riverting romance.  Could be 
he loves being you bud but doesn't really see you as girlfriend material.
regardless of how this story plays out, count youself lucky that you've
got such a cool guy as a friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                              ~12-19 Points~

*SKIP TO THE NEXT CHAPTER*

     Hate to blow the ending to this tale, but there's really no reason 
for you to wast your time sticking with it.  Consider this a jerk alert.
See, this guy is kind of like one of those annoying antagonists who adds 
an element of interest to a story but basically should be written out 
of any upcoming scenes.  Since you're the protagonist when it comes to
your own life story, why waste time with weak characters?  Move on to 
the next chapter.  Could be that's where you'll find the guy who will 
be a major love interest.
