Short, self-scored tools built on our glossary and guides. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere; the scoring runs in your browser.

• Am I in a situationship? A 10-question check

  You are likely in a situationship if you act like a couple and neither of you has said what it is. These ten statements score that gap, in your browser, with nothing stored. The check cannot tell you what the other person wants. It can tell you whether the question is overdue.

• Date cost calculator: what a date costs, and who pays

  Add up what a date costs for two, using per-person prices from our Stockholm and Göteborg pages or your own numbers, and see three ways to split it. The calculator does not say what a date should cost. Below: what one large US survey found about who pays, and our view on settling it before the bill.

• Love language quiz: 18 questions, no email, and what the research says

  Eighteen quick choices, scored in your browser, no email. You get a profile of what you picked today across five kinds of affection, not a type. The quiz is ours, not Gary Chapman's, and nobody has validated it. Further down: what researchers found when they tested the love-language idea, which is less than the book promises.
