If you answered:

Mostly a’s

Congrats! He is definitely not an opera ghost and he’s not even ghosting you. In fact, seems like he might just have a big ol’ crush on you. You could probably introduce him to your parents and he wouldn’t even be weird about it. This one’s a keeper, ladies.

Mostly b’s

Sorry, hon. Looks like you’re getting ghosted. It’s one of the most common pitfalls of the modern dating scene--and it happens to the best of us. Don’t spend too much more time thinking about this jerk, he’s clearly not worth your energy.

Mostly c’s

Uh oh! Looks like you got yourself in deep with a real live Opera Ghost! Hate to break it to you, but seems like you are past the point of no return. Sorry, babe, shouldn’t have been so thirsty for career advancement. His obsession with you knows no bounds. We would recommend staying out of his subterranean lair if at all possible. And whatever you do: DO NOT REMOVE THE MASK.
