From the cool-as-a-cucumber lover to the lazy sack-potato, every lover has a veggie of their own. Which one are you?

Don't be caught off guard if this angular little question pops up at a swish cocktail party this season. Amid all the heavier aspects of dating (and especially now, during the holly-daze, when food seems to be at the center of everything), we decided to take an offbeat, tongue-in-cheek and yet weirdly sort-of-accurate look at vegetable-themed dating. Yup, that's what we do...

Mushroom

You've come a long way, baby. You may not have the most regal roots, but people love you for your versatile, diverse outlook. Your sometimes-dry sense of humor complements your cute-as-a-button temperament and earthy mysteriousness. One thing's for sure: you are not shy in bed. In fact, some lovers claim that your titillating techniques bring on inexplicable hallucinations and fleshy fantasies.

Cucumber

Some first dates have accused you of being standoffish, but they've never taken the time to see past your sometimes tough, thick-skinned exterior. It's true that you like to play it cool, but that doesn't mean that you don't have feelings inside, too. You like to keep things raw and real in a relationship -- none of that forced steaminess that some dates feel pressured to endure. You take pride in the fact that past lovers have told you that the shape of your body easily arouses them -- even from across the room.

Potato

You're a pretty chill-axin' kind of person. Some may even call you a bit of a homebody, and you've been accused of being somewhat lazy in the sack. But what's wrong with vegging out together and letting the busybodies run themselves silly? Despite your laissez-fair outlook, you take note of everything that goes on around you. It's like you have eyes on the back of your head! Sometimes sweet, sometimes chippy, you have an attitude for every occasion.

Pea

You're a total people person. One past hottie even accused you of being a close talker, and it's true that you prefer to hang out in smaller, tight quarters with a group of friends than in massive nightclubs with an army of strangers. Although you have a totally sweet, cuddly personality, you have been known to occasionally snap at lovers who get too mushy about the relationship. You like to keep things fresh and crisp.

Onion

Watch out, here comes the drama! Something is always ado in your world. You tend to walk into a room, talk exuberantly for five minutes (injecting whopping pearls of wisdom) and leave the whole crowd exhausted. You love to laugh and cry, and you like to bring out these reactions in your dates too. Past partners have complained about how tricky it can be to really get to know the sweet, juicy core behind your layered exterior.

Carrot

You're a no-strings-attached kind of person, and fiery doesn't begin to describe you. Standing tall and proud of your showy, colorful personality, you aren't afraid to speak your mind and stand firm when it comes to things you feel strongly about. Past dinner dates have commented that you have a knack for helping them see situations in a new light. Despite all your good qualities, you do have a tendency to stew about things.

Asparagus

Spring is your favorite season, when new love blossoms so easily. You believe yourself to be sexually spectacular. In fact, lovers tell you that whiffs of your musky love continue to permeate them the day after. When it comes to relationships, though, you have a natural breaking point when clinginess starts to set in. You have a tight bunch of friends you've known forever, and you depend on them to keep you in line.
