What do you think about potential mates ‘testing each other?

article image placeholderUploaded by @DearAuntyAng
I'm giving you the morning clues. I'm being pretty explicit about what it is that I want. So the next time we're in that situation, I'm expecting you to act accordingly or otherwise that determines if you pass or fail. That's the only kind of testing I can rock with. I think this random. I'm going to invite you out to McDonald's and see if you're about my money. I don't like that kind of testing. So what say you? Swell

I wouldn't classify it as testing somebody, but I've waited to see if a gentleman was going to call me or text me before I message him or call him. I've waited, and sometimes it's worked. Sometimes they have messaged me, and then other times they haven't. And I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. If he doesn't, then fine. If he does. Okay, well, let's continue talking. I also had a guy

We had gone on like three or four dates, maybe five. We were going on every day that week. And it was just a beautiful new summer romance. It was popping. But I saw that dream and so, yes, he was dangerous. And God showed me. I've had that before in a mean. Yeah, I've had it since where God showed me something. So it's like, let the Holy Spirit lead you. Use wisdom. You don't got to test people

I don't have to have my girlfriend flirt with you or nothing like that and see if you take the bait, I could just open my eyes and see. So, anyway, thanks for trying minutes and sorry for my long replies but like I said, I just be chitchatting up here and forget about the time

I was just testing you. Because I'm not a machine to test me if the machine is running properly, accurately, I'm not a computer. I'm a human being. I made my mistakes, maybe daily, maybe I don't pretend to be somebody. I just am me. And I can't stress this enough. If I'm with someone, I'm just me, because I don't have to be to show you what you like to hear

I feel so sometimes out of touch is the word, but maybe out of sync with this whole thing because I have not been in the dating game for a while. But I would say, having been what I've happened for a while, what I would expect going into certain things. I think there's a difference between tests and standards and also just doing things, knowing what you expect in a relationship, whether it's short or long term

And so I thoroughly believe that in that case, God was letting you see, like, although this guy might be a nice guy, he probably ain't a nice guy for you, it's a probably nice guy for somebody else

Hey, Maurice, you definitely feel the same way I do. Excuse the dog barking. He's in the basement. But, yeah, because don't test me like that. And it's interesting that you said, don't test me like a machine, because when I was thinking of this swell. I was thinking about how they test cars and how they'll use a crash test dummy and they'll ram the car on the wall and they'll test the brakes or they'll test the seatbelts

Can I get away with the bare minimum in the example I gave in a response to someone else, I had a guy, like I said, take me out for like we went to McDonald's on the first date because we just went out with our kids and then we went out to wings

And the same thing with this sort of dating criteria and the way you talk about it, that is a really good point. I think people really do that. To say, I have certain assumptions, and it's a quick way to filter you out rather than get, how can I say, then take the time to get to know you. And part of that is practicality, especially the older we get depending on season in life

I'm working from home today. I said I'm going to put my clothes on as a motivation to, as soon as I log out of work to go to the gym. And so hearing you in the gym in the background is the motivation I need because I know that feeling, that vibe. I never regret a workout, but it's hard to get there. So thank you for that as well. The reply and the encouragement

We just want to see if a person is telling the truth or if they're authentic, if they're being honest. And I guess we do test people and we are tested, we just might not call it a test and it might just be a little quiz or whatever. So I'm more of a straightforward person. That's why I'm going to say what I'm going to say. And I don't mind being tested because what you see is what you get

And I think sometimes it could be, oh, am I going to have it easy with her versus do I have to be my p's and Q's? Can I tell her a lie? She never questions it. Can I be an hour late for a date and she still shows up and she's just happy to be with me. So, okay, now I'm kind of getting to feel that she don't want much, I don't have to do much

Now, if he does x, then that means good guy. If he does y, girl, you better keep both eyes open or let him go. So on and so forth. So I did that. Now I understand that we have the power to create the reality we desire. And so if I have in my mind that if I'm focused on what I don't want. So for example, I'm going to test this person. I'm going to create this manipulative scenario

You. So I don't like it, and I'll tell you why. But it usually messes up their plans, which is why I don't like it, because I feel insulted. And then I have questions, and then I get to grill in them, and then they get upset because now they got to answer these hard questions that they didn't think they was going to have to ask because they were just testing
