Do Your Friends Give You Bad Relationship Advice?

The Enabler Quiz

When you're mapping out the next move with your latest romantic interest, you ask your friends for advice. We all do. But when you say, "Be honest," are they really offering their true opinions ‑- even if that means a little tough love? Or are they just telling you what you want to hear?

You went on three dates with a great guy, and then he dropped off the face of the earth. You tell your friends you want to call him, "just for your own peace of mind." They say:
- "He might be swamped at work, but there's always two minutes to call. He's so not worth your time."
- "So call him, then. He's probably just been busy."
- "Sure. He's probably wondering why you haven't called him. Why haven't you, by the way?"
- "Nah, let's go grab a drink and forget about him."

You're kissing your new crush -- then suddenly he stops smooching and says he has to head home. How does your crew explain his odd behavior?
- "He bailed just like that? That's just plain weird."
- "He stopped kissing you? He must be a moron to leave you hanging."
- "Maybe he felt sick or remembered he had to be up early the next morning."
- "He probably thought you seemed distant, like you were thinking of an ex or something."
