Is your friendship at a dead end?

By Karen Newman

Is your true blue friendship really a dull gray? Take this quiz to find out if your friendship is at the end of the road.

1.	Your best friend's boyfriend of two years is totally hot and pretty hilarious too. You'd be interested in him if:
		a.	They had never dated. You'd never dip your toe into that water! Once a guy has dated your friend he is OFF limits—forever.
		b.	She gave you the go-ahead, and only if you were sure, sure, SURE (150% positive!) she meant it.
		c.	They broke up. Hey, you waited, didn't you?

2.	You borrow your friend's shirt and accidentally spill coffee down the front. You:
		a.	Freak out because you know how bent out of shape she can get, even if it was an accident.
		b.	Try your best to wash it out, and offer to replace it otherwise.
		c.	Give it back to her, hoping she won't notice. And if she does? One word: deny!

3.	Your best friend invites you to go away with her family, and there you both meet "Hottie Matt." Unfortunately there is only one hottie to go around. You:
		a.	Throw in the towel, she invited you on vacation and it wouldn't be fair if you got the guy and she didn't.
		b.	Let it play its course, but pinky swear to scout out his hot friends.
		c.	Casually let it slip to hottie that your friend isn't such a caring person…oops, how did that come out?

4.	You and your friend had a huge fight and are both convinced that it is the other's fault. You:
		a.	Take the high road—you can be the bigger person and apologize. She's WAY too stubborn for that.
		b.	Wait for you both to cool off, and then try to talk it through.
		c.	Walk past her when you see her in the hallways. If she has something to say to you, it better start with, "I'm sooooooo sorry!"

5.	The two of you always exchange gifts at the holidays. When you open, them you:
		a.	Can't believe she re-gifted…how could she think you wouldn't notice?
		b.	Got each other the exact same thing…could you two think more alike?
		c.	Are blown away by what she bought you. She got you a DVD player and you bought her "Mean Girls." At least she can bring it over so you can watch it!

6.	You both run for school office—she for president, and you for vice. You win, but she loses. After learning the results you:
		a.	Avoid her, it's bad enough that she didn't win, but you don't need to rub it in her face that you did.
		b.	Tell her how much it is going to suck having to work with the other person, and make her promise to schedule extra hanging out time.
		c.	Immediately invite her to your congratulatory party…she may have lost, but this is your time to celebrate.

7.	The two of you talk on the phone:
		a.	When it's convenient for her, like when she is walking home from school or bored babysitting and would like to be entertained.
		b.	Every night…hello, we need to catch up!
		c.	When you need something, like to find out if some guy said anything about you, or if you want to borrow her black halter.

8.	Justin Timberlake is touring and your parents said you could go to his concert, but your BF's parents gave the thumb's down. She lives for JT. You:
		a.	Forgo the concert…you know how devastated she'd be if you were there without her.
		b.	Go, but buy her a T-shirt and promise to have an HBO viewing party when it airs.
		c.	Call up someone else—it's not your fault her parent's are so strict.
