Talk about a heartbreaker! It's a safe bet that none of your exes is feeling warm and fuzzy about you right now. Your coldhearted ways may make things easy for you in the short run, but it's time to start thinking about the other person's feelings -- and the bad karma you're spreading!

While you may not be the most heartless heartbreaker on the block, your dumping techniques could use a little finesse. Read on and find out how to fine-tune your saying-goodbye skills.

Bravo, breakup girl! Your delicate touch gets the "We're over" point across without unnecessarily bruising the other person's ego. You are honest, while at the same time nice and respectful of the bond you once shared.

You aren't really a heartbreaker. You can have those "bad ending" relationships, but on the whole, you try not to break any hearts.

47 other people got this result! That's 48% out of 96 people to take this test.

 

[Girls only test @ Quizilla]

==========================

You are a darling!!

You handle a relationship with your guy with a hundred percent faith and loyalty! You consider flirting with others as a sin. Your guy is the apple of your eyes, and you do your best to take good care of your relationship with him.

==========================

 

 

Much to my defense, let me say that none of my x's should be feeling warm and fuzzy about me. They are x's, and I am currently in a relationship... a long term relationship.

 

Additionally, I break-up in person -- never over the phone or through email, and I don't just ignore them if they call.

I try to give the relationship the best chance it could have, if it doesn't work then it doesn't work. I am usually the first one to see this probably because I am a pretty good judge of my limits & know how much I can take before reaching that point.

 

 I think I am more than fair as I allow the other half to do pretty much as they like, within reason, and am willing to hold myself to a higher level of criticism .. until I feel this has been taken advantage of in some manner.

 

I appreciate trust, am worthy of and willing to give it .. until I have reason to believe such has been abused.

I am pretty much straight forward, tell it like it is, and I don't play games.

I am not terribly jealous or possessive, though I feel in some instances such (in moderation) could be jusified.

 

Over all, I do consider others feelings (usually more than I consider my own) & I firmly believe that if you love someone your sense of 'self' should be greatly reduced.

 

I don't, by any means, consider myself to be perfect -- though you may hear me say that I am.

[ If you know me then you can appreciate that statement. ]

 

I consider myself to be a work in progress.. always.. I strive to be perfect, knowing that such does not exist.

I don't consider myself to be a 'bad' person and I try to avoid bad karma --

who wants that?!

 

I don't believe that the test I took in January 2005 was accurate, look at the results and my commentary about such.

I don't believe that I have changed so much in the past three and a half years

(warranting such a vastly different result)

though I have changed in many ways.

 

In conclusion, take your online test/quiz results with the 'grain of salt' if you don't agree with the outcome.

Just try to be the best "U" that you can be!

 

==========================

 

I have found most Tickle tests fairly accurate for me in the past.

_________________     On Return From Egypt Exchange Student Claims Starvation     _________________

________________________________________________________________________________________________

17 yr old exchange student J. McCullum, 5'9"-155 lb, in perfect health spent 4 mos with a Coptic Christian family in Egypt. Denied sufficient food he lost 58 lb & so weak he struggled to carry baggage & climb stairs.. at risk for a heart attack..

J. McCullum was hospitalized for nearly 2 wks after returning to the U.S. His host family gave him only meager amounts of food, & his condition worsened during the last 7 wks, when the family observed a fast limiting the amount of animal protein he was given.

The host family was a couple with 2 younger boys & a daughter who was in the U.S. on an AFS exchange. McCullum said the parents gave him the smallest food portions, hid treats in their bedroom & complained that the cost of his upkeep was more than they spent for their daughter when she was home.The host father, Shaker Hanna, rejected McCullum's story as "a lie," suggesting that he made it up because his parents were hoping to recover some of the money they paid for his stay as compensation."The truth is, the boy we hosted for nearly six months was eating for an hour and a half at every meal. The amount of food he ate at each meal was equal to six people," Hanna said. He added that the boy was active, constantly exercising & playing sports.

-- {How this man can live with himself is beyond my comprehension, furthermore I'd not care to be associated with such a person under any guise. I find it simply & absolutely appalling that he'd so blatantly lie about the treatment of this child while still holding firm to his belief that he is any type of Christian.} --

McCullum said he never got breakfast & his 1st food of the day usually was a small piece of bread with cucumbers & cheese that he'd take to school to eat for lunch. There was a late-afternoon dinner of beans, vegetables & sometimes fish, & a snack of bread later in the evening.

McCullum sometimes bought food, but at one point was reduced to stealing it from a supermarket. When caught, the store accepted the small amount of money he had & let him go.Still, McCullum did not complain to his parents. His father suspects he may have fallen victim to Stockholm syndrome, in which people start to feel a sense of loyalty to those who victimize them. 

The Committee for Safety of Foreign Exchange Students, a nonprofit advocacy group, said the exchange programs are rampant with instances of abuse and neglect.

-- {I am outraged at the treatment this boy suffered at the hands of this host family & they should be held accountable for their actions, here & now. I am sorry to say that I do not believe that they will ever be truly sorry for what they did & as such I would not accept their apology, if they were to ever say they were sorry. This was a matter of money being more important than the child's welfare. We are supposed to protect & nurture the future (our children, all children), we are not supposed to steal food from them for financial gain. We are supposed to defend our children, not accuse them falsely in an attempt to belittle our own wrong doings.} --
