                and go out together?

 

        When taking this test, think about the rules, remember what’s been said so far and realize that your woman has needs too. It’s important to remember the first rule I taught you at the beginning of this book. If you base all your answers on that rule alone, you should do okay. Look for the answers in the back of the book. But, no cheating, take the test first and then see how well you scored.
