Results:

Mostly A’s: The Committed Cutie

• You’re ready to lock it down, babe. Whether it’s matching costumes, cozy dates, or maybe even a romantic selfie in the pumpkin patch, you’re here for all of it. If you’re serious about finding something long-term, don’t be afraid to set your intentions early. Just remember: take your time, communicate what you want, and keep that green flag energy flowing.

Mostly B’s: The Social Butterfly

• You live for the attention, for the fun, and definitely for the flirtation without the pressure of a full-on relationship. The thrill of dating and the energy of new connections has you buzzing. Just make sure to prioritize those convos about consent and safer sex, even if things stay casual.

Mostly C’s: The Low-key Lover

• You’re not anti-relationship. You’re just anti-drama. You’re looking for good company and low-stress vibes this cuffing season. And we can’t blame you! If a chill situationship is what you’re searching for, make sure to speak up about what you’re cool with and what you’re not. Boundaries are everything, bb.

Mostly D’s: The Free Spirit

• Settling down isn’t on your itinerary this fall. You’ve got main character energy and a calendar that’s booked and busy. You’re cool with a late summer fling or a little fall flirtation, but your biggest priority right now is your freedom. Just don’t forget to pack your birth control (like condoms and emergency contraception) in case any spontaneous hookups come your way.

Whatever your fling energy is…

Just remember that boundaries + consent + safer sex = green flag energy, year-round.
