How Romantic are you?

Romance Points
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

In the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy.
Do something she likes and you'll get points. Do something she dislikes
and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something
she expects - sorry, that's the way the game is played.
