* Guys often realize that a woman has serious girlfriend potential after they see her ace a sticky situation ... like one of these four scenarios.

You Hole Up Together

It's an early-lust ritual: You hang out Friday night, blow off plans with friends, and come to, groggy and sexed-out, sometime on Sunday. Says Mark *, 27: "The first time Karen stayed over two nights in a row and was happy to hang in one of my shirts and no makeup--that's when it clicked that she could be the real deal." Being with each other around tile clock tests if you can coexist. So keep the convos light, resign to using your finger as a toothbrush, and resist staying till his alarm goes off on Monday morning.

You Make an Ass of Yourself

"On my first date with Sara, we went ice-skating," remembers James, 32. "She lost her footing and bonked her head on the ice. My first thought was 'Ohmigod, she's dead,' but to my surprise, she started cracking up." Guys like a woman who doesn't take herself too seriously. So if you lose your top in a wave at the beach, laugh it off: You may feel awkward, but he'll dig your ability to roll with the punches.

* Names have been changed.
