by S.K. Smith
Are you giving off signs that you're open to love - or repelling it? Inherently, as human beings, we're all loveable.

Take our quick quiz and find out if you're really as ready for love (energetically) as you think you are!

SCORING Keeping yourself down (0-24 Points)
The reason you're not succeeding in love is not that you're not loveable, it's that you don't feel good about yourself. As such, you won't attract a mate who feels good about you (or themselves!). As cliché as this sounds, no one can complete you, other than yourself! The good news is, provided you take the necessary steps to uncover some inner truths, you can change things, starting with the way you feel. It's time for some soul searching. Where do your self-doubts come from? What can you do to prove yourself wrong? It takes courage to break bad patterns, but you can do it. Only by working from the inside out, will you discover a new outcome.
Room for improvement (25-56 Points)
There's no doubt that you know your own worth… most of the time. What you may be doing however, if you're having trouble mating and relating, is erecting barriers without realizing it. If your checklist for love is too long (or non-existent!) you're setting yourself up for failure. Life is a reciprocal activity between you and the universe. You will only get what you give. And that goes for love, too. Work on giving as well as receiving, or receiving as well as giving - only you know which you tend to favor. Sometimes, we can confuse self-interest with being in tune with the world. Creating your own reality in love includes being open to someone else's.
Giving off love (57+ Points)
You're confident. You're self-sufficient. And yet you're open to letting someone in. Congratulations, you're giving off love - and lovability. Always remember that everyone has imperfections though, including you. A little "go with the flow" goes a long way!
