What's Your
Dating Villain Era?

Q: Am I toxic in relationships?

Almost everyone carries at least one self-protective habit into dating — over-texting, withdrawing, catastrophising, or hyper-criticising. The Dating Villain Test maps your instincts onto one of four recognisable patterns so you can name the habit instead of repeating it.

Take the 7-question quiz to find out your toxic dating trait. Everyone has one. Yours is about to be named out loud.

Am I toxic in relationships? This quiz answers it in 60 seconds.

"Am I the problem?" is one of the most-searched dating questions on the internet, and the honest answer is that almost everyone brings one self-protective habit into a relationship. That habit isn't evil — it's usually an old coping strategy that used to keep you safe and now quietly sabotages you. The Dating Villain Test turns that pattern into a character you can actually name, laugh at, and then work on.

Your answers are scored across four archetypes drawn from familiar attachment and coping patterns: anxious pursuit, avoidant withdrawal, anxious rumination, and defensive perfectionism. Nothing is stored, nothing is emailed to you, and there's no account to make.

🧛 Signs of clingy attachment style

Double-texting, needing a reply to feel calm, reading tone into punctuation. If reassurance is the only thing that settles you, meet the Clingy Vampire.

👻 Why do I ghost people I like?

Because leaving first hurts less than being left. Closeness reads as risk, and vanishing feels like control. That's the Ghosting Phantom.

🦉 Why do I overthink every text?

Your brain rehearses the breakup to soften the blow, and calls it "being realistic." Welcome to the Overthinker Owl.

👑 Are my dating standards too high?

When every candidate fails on a technicality, the bar might be a shield. Say hi to the Picky Dictator.

FAQ

Is the Dating Villain Test a real psychological assessment?: No. It's entertainment built on top of well-known relationship patterns. It's a mirror, not a diagnosis — if a pattern is genuinely hurting you, a licensed therapist is the right next step.
Can I get more than one villain type?: Most people are a blend. The quiz surfaces whichever pattern showed up loudest in your answers — retake it thinking about a different relationship and you'll often get a different villain.
Do you save my answers?: Nothing is sent to a server. Scoring happens in your browser, and your result is passed to the result page in the URL.
