They are paying attention to the ways you communicate, handle certain situations, and present yourself to them and the rest of the world. There are many ways that a partner can test the waters of a relationship, so I asked Adrienne Janic (Overhaulin&#8217;), Les Stroud (Survivorman), Sharna Burgess (Dancing With the Stars) and several other vibrant media personalities to see what kind of tests they consider important to their relationships. It&#8217;s about more than trust issues.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Search\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/search.aspx\"><em><strong>Get a detailed relationship reading from one of our talented psychics today!

If it is more than half full, then this is a good guy. He took the time to fill up the car with gas, and he can afford to take you out. But if the guy has less than half a tank, forget it, because if he can\u2019t afford to gas up the car, then don\u2019t even bother.\u201d A&nbsp;lot of women also mention a clean car being <a title=\"The 2-Question Relationship Test \" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2013\/08\/relationship-test-question.html\"><strong>an important test that a guy must pass<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>The&nbsp;Purse Dip Test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Model Caitlin O&#8217;Connor has a very common belief when it comes to who should pay on a first date. &#8220;Even if a girl asks you out, you still have to offer to pay the bill at the end of dinner.&nbsp;<a title=\"10 Disaster-Proof Dating Tips \" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2011\/05\/10-disaster-proof-dating-tips.html\"><strong>Just man up that first time<\/strong><\/a>\u2014it makes you look like a gentleman.&#8221; A lot of women I&#8217;ve spoken to over the years say they use The Purse Dip Test. This involves reaching into their purse at the end of date to see if a guy offers to pay. Most women agreed that it was gentlemanly for a man to tell her that he&#8217;s got it, and to pay the bill without hesitation. The only time he should consider splitting the check is if his date is&nbsp;adamant about paying for half, and then it is polite to agree and move on without making a big deal about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Gentleman Test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Part of being a gentleman is making sure that your partner is comfortable.&nbsp;\u201cA confident man has no issues acting like a movie star of old,\u201d says Survivorman&#8217;s Les Stroud. \u201cOpening doors, pulling out the chair at a restaurant, bringing her&nbsp;flowers, and never walking in front of her\u2014I hate when I see that.\u201d A lot of men look for a woman&nbsp;who will let them&nbsp;take care of her, and even spoil her a bit. It makes a man feel good to do this. Not all women are comfortable with a man taking control, but consider that this is sometimes a test men have&nbsp;to&nbsp;see if you are open enough to let them&nbsp;take care of you&nbsp;on occasion.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Jacqueline ext. 9472\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/Jacqueline-9472.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-jacqueline-ext-9472\"><em><strong>Is he a true gentleman or a wolf in disguise?

If you happen to clash on certain rules, it can be a great thing, because then it is something to tease her about.\u201d Some strong personalities like to see if you can handle them by challenging you. A strong woman, for example, may have very high standards, and test a man by exerting her personality aggressively to see if he has the confidence to dish it back in a fun (and teasing) way.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Sonja ext. 5071\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/Sonja-5071.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-sonja-ext-5071\"><em><strong>Wondering why your partner keeps testing you?

In time, their kindness will eventually fall to harsh criticism in an&nbsp;attempt to keep you under their control. We all like to feel good, and when someone who normally makes you feel good suddenly hurts you, it is more likely that you will bend your values to make them happy again, so that you can feel good about yourself again . Don&#8217;t fall victim to these people.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Dezi ext. 5227\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/Dezi-5227.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-dezi-ext-5227\"><em><strong>Want to get out from under the control of an overbearing partner?

But dancing is more about confidence, than actual technique.&nbsp;However, it doesn&#8217;t hurt to take a few lessons no matter who you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you feel like your partner has trust issues?
