Happy Valentines Day, lovers.

1) You are at a party - who catches your eye?

a) The smoking hot guy with oh-so-devastating model looks
b) The quiet boy in the corner who seems to be scrutinising people in intense detail
c) The gorgeously hot and handsome hunk of chunk who is standing in the corner, fiddling with his i-pod and trying desperately not to turn bright red every time that you smile at him. Even in the dark and from a distance, it is easy to tell that he has exceedingly excellent and muscular manly thighs
d) The guy who looks tough, but I know that deep inside he's really sweet and cool

2) What film would you prefer to see on a hot Valentine's date with your crush?

a) A soppy romance about everlasting love
b) An intellectual detective drama
c) it doesn't really matter so long as you're both sitting in the VERY BACK ROW with a party-size tub of pop-corn to share and a couple of super-large colas and and a bag of marshmallows... oh, and a small box of chocolate peanuts for later on in case you both get peckish.
d) A movie with lots of kicking demon butt, hunky guys and maybe an explosion or two

3) What kind of Valentine’s card would you send to your secret crush?

a) The biggest card you can find with massive hearts, flowers and declarations of love
b) Something subtle and slightly humorous in an understated way
c) You wouldn't really bother with a card because card is made from paper and paper is made from wood and wood comes from trees.  And trees are where orang-utans live!  And orang-utans are the SWEETEST LUSHEST LITTLE GINGER SWINGING ANIMALS WHICH EVER SAT ON THIS PLANET.  So instead, you'd do something a bit more meaningful and romantic.  Like writing 'I LOVE YOU' with ketchup on his chips when he's not looking.
d) I'd send him a Valentine's Day card written on a menu from his favourite takeaway shop. Guys + food = happiness

Your ideal man is:

Mostly a’s - Damen Auguste

Your ideal man seems too good to be true. He was personal friends with Picasso, Van Gogh and Shakespeare to name but a few, will drive you to Disneyland on a whim and can produce red tulips out of thin air! You might have a little trouble prying Damen away from his immortal girlfriend Ever as he has literally travelled through countless lives to be with her. But hey, if you do manage to do it, you will have an absolutely beautiful boy mooning after you. Be warned though, 600 years of living brings a fair bit of emotional baggage, in particular, one super-jealous vengeful ex-wife!

Mostly b’s - Sherlock Holmes

From Andy Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes series, your ideal boy is deep and mysterious. He has astute logical reasoning, the ability to take almost any disguise, and uses his superb forensic science skills to solve difficult cases. Whilst his mind is something to be admired, you often have to spend a lot of time on your own as he gets easily obsessed with a case and doesn’t have time for anything else. His absent-mindedness about everyday matters is often completely baffling and infuriating!

Mostly c’s - Gareth Stingecombe

Gareth Stingcombe is the Welsh ‘chunk of hunk’ from Hayley Long’s hilarious Lottie Biggs series. Kind, honest, cheeky and VERY good at rugby Gareth is the kind of boy who is guaranteed to charm your mum. Oh, and his manly thighs are absolutely irresistible. What more could a girl possibly want? There is one problem though – Gareth’s free time is pretty much non-existent thanks to his dreams of Rugby shaped grandeur. It takes a lot of practice to be the best player all of Wales! That, and it seems that he’s pretty smitten with Lottie Biggs, or ‘Biggsy’ as he likes to call her… how romantic!

Mostly d’s – Denver Beck

Wow, you must really be a sucker for punishment! Denver Beck (or Beck, as he is best known) is a true bad boy. Talk about emotionally unavailable – Beck has more baggage than Carrie Bradshaw has shoes. Which is maybe what makes him so damned irresistible! Despite that tough, hardened exterior Beck is a caring, lost soul with a big heart. He’s been through enough in his life to know what hurt feels like, that’s for sure. When Beck’s not out trapping seriously bad ass demons and saving Atlanta, he’s likely to be found in a bar, trying to forget his past. A true heartbreaker.
