Are You Too Good of a Friend?

1 Your

annoying college roommate e-mails saying she’s coming to town and needs a place to crash. You:

a Let her sleep on your couch. How bad could it be?

b Explain that your schedule is nuts but you will try to meet up.

c Ignore the e-mail. Later, you’ll say it got lost in your spam folder. 2During

a cut, your long-time hairstylist asks if you can pass along her hubby’s résumé. You: a Say you never mix work and pleasure.

b Agree to recommend him to your boss.

c Give her the e-mail of the HR coordinator. 3 When

you’re out with your best friend, your new guy texts to see if you’d like to meet up. You:

a Ask if he wants to meet later, after you’ve hung with your pal.

b Pretend you’re feeling sick and then secretly meet him.

c Tell him you can’t— you already have plans. 4 At

happy hour, a cute co-worker invites you to dinner. The only problem? Your office friend has a crush on him. You respond by saying:

a “I heard that new sushi place is awesome. Let’s go.”

b “Sure. Wanna see who else wants to come along?”

c “I’m exhausted, but I think Pia would be down for it. Why don’t you ask her?” 5 You

and your buddy show up to a party wearing the same skirt. How do you react? a You crack jokes all night about planning the whole thing.

b You grab jeans from your trunk. They’re not as cute, but oh, well.

c You demand she head home and change. They didn’t let a few extra flowers come between their friendship
