Summer love can be hot, hot, hot! But some relationships that sizzle over the summer can end up barely simmering once school starts. Is what you've got going a sure thing ... or simply a summer fling? Find out whether you should extinguish the flame before fall or keep it going for the long haul.

1. It's Friday night. What are your plans?

A. You'll be at the movie theater checking out The Love Guru with your guy. You both think Mike Myers is the funniest.

B. Hitting your bud's BBQ and stopping by Cold Stone for banana caramel crunch sundaes afterward with the gang which, of course, includes your crush.

C. They're up in the air. Your guy said something about dinner earlier in the week, so you don't want to commit to anything in case you hear from him.

2. You're at the biggest beach bash of the summer looking smokin'. Where's your summer sweetie?

A. Around somewhere. He stopped by to tell you how hot you looked and then went off to goof around with his boys.

B. Right by your side, holding your hand as you walk along the crashing waves. C. On the opposite side of the volleyball net: it's one-on-one, and he's going down!

3. Where'd you meet your hottie?

A. At sleepaway camp. During the girls vs. boys canoe race, he "accidentally" tipped you over.

B. At a party. His friends challenged your gang to a Rock Band battle. By the end of the night, the two of you were making beautiful music together.

C. At school. You were in Spanish class and struck up a convo en espanol about your similar summer plans.

4. What ringtone do you hear when your crush calls your cell?

A. "See You Again," by Miley Cyrus.

B. "Don't Stop the Music," by Rihanna.

C. "No One," by Alicia Keys.

5. Have you ever hung out with any of his friends or fam?

A. Sure! You feel right at home chilling with his buds, and it was his big sis who hooked you guns up in the first place.

B. Nope. It's always just the two of you.

C. Not really. He's shown you pics of everyone on his cell, but you haven't been formally introduced to anyone.

6. Besides the fact that he looks amazing in his board shorts, how much do you really know about your guy?

A. Well, for starters, you know that he lives three states away and it'll take you about five hours to get to his house--if you can get a ride there, that is.

B. What's not to know? You can rattle off his favorite food, color, TV show, car, movie and brand of shampoo ... he's basically told you everything!

C. Not much. You've been too distracted by his six-pack and smile to dig deeper.

7. How often do your plans for the fall come into convos with your crush?

A. Never. You avoid mentioning what comes next if at all possible--it's an endless summer, right?

B. All the time. You're pumped about going back to school with a BF, and he's already mentioned switching his schedule around so you'll have the same lunch period. Sigh!

C. Every once in a while. But mostly it's when he talks about what position he'll be playing on the varsity soccer team.

8. What do your gals think about him?

A. Well, if the fact that they've started to plan your wedding is any clue, you'd say they love him.

B. They're super psyched that he's older and can drive you all around in his Prius.

C. They say he sounds perf from what you tell them, but no one's had the chance to meet him yet.

9. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your fling's flirt factor?

A. Seven. He's chatty and funny around other girls, but isn't a shameless flirt.

B. Uh, is 11 an option? He's a flirt-a-holic, just like you. No wonder you hit it off!

C. Two. He's super sweet to all, but you know you're the only one he's crushing on.

10. What's the fondest memory you have of you and your summer BF?

A. Your first date (and first kiss!) with him.

B. The instant you laid eyes on your boy at the beach. You'll never forget the way his blue, blue eyes sparkled in the sun.

C. Rocking out front row at a Jonas Bros concert with your crush by your side.

A BF FOR ALL SEASONS

Forget the fireworks on the Fourth--the sparks are totally flying between you two! Just like Justin Timberlake sings, "This just can't be summer love...." From all of the crazy connections you share to the way your heart leaps every time you see him, it sounds like this relationship could be a keeper. Just remember no matter how gaga you are over your guy now, people do change from season to season (watch the beginning of Grease to see what we mean). Distance, school, sports or just plain life can get in the way, and you may drift apart. So for now, just take it one (blissful) day after another and let things play out naturally when you go back to school. Hopefully, things will stay heated between you two even as the weather turns cooler!

17-23

BETTER AS FRIENDS

For you, summer revolves around three letters: F-U-N. Your summer relationship is no exception. You two manage to start the party wherever you go. Not only is the boy a hoot, he's also totally hot! But all of the physical attraction and crazy times probably won't be enough to keep this fling afloat through fall when schoolwork steers the boat. Still, your time together is so great that you can't imagine not hanging out with your guy. So instead of trying to rush into something serious, keep things as chill as they are now. Go ahead and friend him on Facebook (like you haven't already!), but keep your relationship status as single. Then, whenever you're in need of a fun fix, invite him out for a night with your buds to relive some memories.

10-16

JUST A FLING

Sure, your relationship may be sizzlin' now, but chances are it's gonna fizzle later. Judging by his player 'tude, it sounds like your guy isn't ready for a commitment. Come to think of it, neither are you. Whether he lives in another town or hasn't made much of an effort to get to know you, it might be just too much to make things work in the fall--no matter how cute he is! Have fun while it lasts, but don't put any pressure on either of you to keep it up once summer's over. And when it's time to say goodbye, do it with class. Be honest and let him know you had a great time, but you don't think it'll work out for the long term. It'll be best to end the summer on a drama-free note and finish things off--before any hearts are broken.
