THE DRAMATIC SISTER:
She's so fair, so fun, and so damn loud! A dramatic sister fashions herself a diva (which she mistakenly perceives as a good thing) and loves to put on a show. She thinks of herself as exciting and interesting, but to the rest of us the mere thought of going out with her is like bathing with a hair dryer. Everything--from where to go to the wrenching details of her latest romantic drama--is such a huge production that everyone around her feels drained by the second hour. The ugly truth is she's an energy vampire: she just sucks.

If You Are Acting Out

You love to gossip, are just a wee bit overemotional, and tend to cry when you get tipsy. When a suitor decides he no longer wishes to court you, you pop up at his palace looking to "talk" or deliberately show up at locales you know he frequents. While there, you will stare at him, talk to the people in his court, and eventually put on a performance that rivals Bette Davis in her heyday.

Oh, and did I mention how much you love your cell phone? You use it to whine, to call for backup, and to drunk dial lads who have asked you several times not to call. Your Pussycat Dolls ring tone is set on loud, and once you answer, everyone gets to hear you complain about the tragedies you have suffered at the hands of your latest dating disaster. Everyone knows everything about your relationship (or whatever your situation might be) because nothing is sacred. Just writing about you makes me want a bottle of Valium.

Why Changing Will Work in the Long Run

Your emotions are often raw and concentrated, which makes it difficult for a suitor (or anyone else for that matter) to believe in the sincerity of your words and actions. After all, how can anyone take you seriously when everything rates a ten on the scale of intensity? Whether it's professing your love in record time, demanding exclusivity on the third date, or freaking out on him when a female friend gives his cellie a jingle, you usually speed down lovers' lane only to have your potential relationship crash and burn into oblivion.

{Acting like this gets you a royal disaster! Suitors may find your dynamic and impulsive behavior exciting at first, but soon, they feel worn out and misunderstood. The truth is no one wants to live on a roller coaster twenty-four-seven!

You are an SRK (serial relationship killer), murdering your reputation and credibility faster than Paris Hilton with a camcorder. The big mess of sex, arguments, and tears that usually comes with dating you makes a suitor feel as though he's trapped in a soap opera that will usually have him running for the exit by date number four. Toning down the explosions, taming the emotions, and turning that damn phone on vibrate will highlight your other, more endearing qualities and calm his fears that you might wind up cooking a rabbit on his stove.
