How romantic are you? Take the quiz

Mostly a: You're a true romantic!

Yes, you're easily swept up by the hearts and flowers of Valentine's Day. But you also do your best to build romance into your life all year round. After all, why be grumpy and cynical when you could be making someone feel extra-special?

A few words of advice, though. 'It's important to separate romance from being needy - particularly in the early days of a relationship,' says dating expert Hayley Quinn from Lovestruck. 'Romance is a two-way street where both parties are equally interested in one another. It's when someone seems too eager - turning up with flowers on the first date, for example - that the trouble starts. Try to up the romance factor step-by-step, so you can build trust. Remember, small gestures mean a lot.'

Want to build more romance into a long-term relationship? Jenni Trent Hughes, relationship expert for eHarmony, suggests the following:

● Give him a set of personalised redeemable coupons. What they're for is totally up to you. It could be anything from 'not mowing the lawn for a month' to a steak dinner.

● Send him an 'I love you because...' card, listing five things you love most about him.

● Go on dates. Just because you're in a long-term relationship, it doesn't mean you can't date each other. Keep an element of surprise by taking it in turns to plan your next date.

Mostly b: You're a part-time romantic

Yes, you like romantic surprises and spending time with that special someone - but you're not really one for OTT gestures or splashing out a fortune on Valentine's Day. Basically, you're in possession of a sense of perspective - which is never a bad thing.

Still, it's good to remember that romance still plays an important role in modern-day relationships. 'As long as we have love in our lives, we will always be hoping that romance won't be far behind,' says Jenni Trent Hughes, relationship expert for eHarmony. 'It's about making a special effort to show someone how you feel about them, then taking action to make it real. A romantic gesture should be thoughtful - a reflection of what has transpired between the two of you, something nobody else would know about. It's not about the amount of money you've spent. It's about the effort you've put in.'

Mostly c: You're a true non-romantic

But you didn't really need us to tell you that, did you? You're supremely irritated by the hearts and flowers of Valentine's Day - and you see absolutely no need for flamboyant romantic gestures in life in general. To you, that's just showing off. You're a practical, pragmatic person. Romance has no place in your life... or does it?

'Actually, as long as we have love in our lives, we will always secretly be hoping that romance won't be far behind,' says Jenni Trent Hughes, relationship expert for eHarmony. 'It's about making a special effort to show someone how you feel about them, then taking action to make it real. A romantic gesture should be thoughtful - a reflection of what has transpired between the two of you, something nobody else would know about. It's not about the amount of money you've spent. It's about the effort you've put in.'
