tests:
1- Develop a test "radar." Be on the lookout for the items in the
list above. Remember; it is how a man reacts to a woman's testing
off the bat that will determine the course of the relationship.
Once you become aware of what she's doing, it will be much easier
to stop it before it starts.
Bad move... What if you're not so good a 'radar'? There might be
much misinterpretations, doubts and miscommunications.. Besides..
If you don't do well as a 'radar'... You'll probably wear out in
time to come... Dragging the relationship DOWN with you...
ESPECIALLY a BAD move if you're an OVERLY SENSITIVE guy...
3- Test her back! Try using her own tests against her and see how
she reacts.
Might not be such a smart move.. Probably testing the patience and
tolerance of both parties... If FAILED, both parties' gonna be
SUFFERING for it...
4- Stand your ground at the outset. At the first inkling of a test,
put your foot down, and keep it down. Tell her that you refuse to
be tested. Explain to her that if she wants to be with you, then
she'll have to knock off the childish power games.
BAD MOVE. Refer to '1'.
