Was he a player in a past life?

David Copeland, coauthor of How to Succeed With Men, suggests some sly ways to gauge his sexual history.

Slow him down. Just when your bond begins to shift from PG to R-rated, tell him you like him but you don't want to go too fast. A genuine gigolo will leave skid marks. The monogamously inclined will stick around.

Study his posse. Your man's inner circle is full of clues. If his friends always seem to have different ladies on their arms, your guy may be used to keeping his girlfriends on a rotating schedule.

Beware of the charmer. A guy who oozes charisma and seems to do everything right ( a bona fide nice guy is sure to make at least a few flubs) has probably had practice in the seduction department.

Probe his ask-out style. Got a boy who can't manage to ask for a Friday-night date until Friday? Guys with girl-juggling tendencies are used to last-minute planning- it's about holding out for the best babe.

the secret he wants to spill
