Is it really over? Are you and your BF broken up for good--or for just this second? This quiz has the answer.

Things could be way worse. You could be like Jennifer Aniston, with your school newspaper running weekly cover stories including photos of you making a sour face because you really enjoy Lemonheads, and a caption that reads, "She still doesn't know if the breakup is forever but she's totally bitter! Will her ex take a better-looking, more successful, sort of weird brunette to the prom?!"

Does that help? Not so much? Then this quiz is your friend. This is a test to determine if your breakup is a done deal or just done for the day, the week or maybe even an hour. When a split is only temporary, you're officially "faking up," which is like a relationship time-out. For some couples, faking up is practically the reason they are together-they love the drama of faking-and-making up. For others, breaking up once is quite enough, and they're over it for good. To find out if yours is a breakup or a fake-up, answer the following questions....

Your last fight with your BF took place:

A. At his house.

B. You don't really fight.

C. During lunch in front of some friends.

Which of you did the actual breaking up?

A. He broke up with you.

B. It was sort of mutual.

C. You broke up with him.

Do you still like him?

A. Definitely.

B. Yes, but you don't totally trust him now.

C. You still think he's cute, but his personality...

This guy would be perfect if it weren't for:

A. The fact that he has to always hang out with his friends.

B. The fact that he doesn't seem to understand how a boyfriend is supposed to act.

C. The fact that he is obviously not mature enough for a girlfriend.

You have broken up with this boyfriend before.

A. False.

B. Not really--we ended up talking/e-mailing that same night.

C. True.

Before the breakup, he paid plenty of attention to you.

A. Not at all. He was way more into me when we first got together.

B. Somewhat. He was hot and cold depending on his mood.

C. Pretty much. That wasn't really the problem.

The No. 1 reason you want to get back together is:

A. You two were so good together.

B. There's nobody else you can picture yourself with.

C. You fell really lonely without him.

When you broke up, it was:

A. Tedious, scary and really sad.

B. A long-time coming, and you both sort of "knew."

C. Loud and angry. Everyone was watching, and he was acting all big even though he doesn't do that when you're alone.

Unless your ex is a graduate of The OC School of I Romance, you have our sympathies that you've scored here. This is not a fake-up. But you probably believe there's still a "connection" with this guy. Maybe. Could be you just miss him. and loneliness will make a girl read into everything as a clue that it's a temporary breakup. Maybe you'll read every horoscope you can find until you see these words: "Venus in your rash-decision house says, 'Call him now!'" Get your head out of the clouds, and know this: Your breakup is the world's way of making room for a better guy to come into your life. How amazing is that?

Breakup Status Fixable

All relationships have to travel bumpy paths. You're at a crossroads of He's-An-Idiot Avenue and I-Secretly-Miss-Him Street. So, do you stick with the breakup no matter how rough it is? Or do you compromise, get back together and see what's next? Maybe you have hot and cold feelings for him and aren't sure. Perhaps you, like lots of girls, are reading far too much into how he said "hey" in the hallway. Whatever he's doing or not doing, it's time to tell him, nicely and maturely, what you need to De truly happy in the relationship. If he doesn't listen or doesn't care. it's a breakup, not a fake-up. Our advice is to leave him with his true love: his XBox Ninja Nation game. Now please go clean your tear-streaked mascara, and invite your best friend over for some nachos and DVDs.

Breakup Status Fakers

19-24 points

Some couples break up repeatedly because they love the drama, especially if there's an audience and it's at lunchtime. This show of emotion lasts long enough for everyone to know how totally intense they are and then, suddenly, it's tongue hockey right there in the quad. If you scored here, you're a charter member of the Melodramatic Couples Club. Not that taking breaks is a bad thing. But have you faked-up more than twice? if so, you're stuck in a fake-up/make-up cycle. Unfortunately, if you don't figure out what it is about this guy that is keepable or not keepable, you'll continue on this loop. Do you really want to go in circles with him for another month? Or year? His excellent shaggy hair only forgives so much for so long. In other words, you is or you ain't. You decide.
