So today I learned of the door test. You drive up to the girl's house, lock both yer doors even tho you're coming right back, let the girl into the car on the passenger side and walk slowly around the back of the car so you can watch and see if she unlocks yer door or at least checks to see if your door is unlocked.

Obviously, the movie this came from was made before auto unlocking cars.

Personally I'd have failed that test way back when ... bc I would think gee his door should be unlocked since he just got out of the car and only left briefly to come up to the door and right back. I would think who locks their door when the car isn't leaving their sight and they are just getting right back in it?

But so I wonder ... what other dating tests do you guys have for women?

Here's an article I found with some other dating tests in them. Good tests? Not so good?

Discuss.

Never heard of this test and don't see the point of it.

How old is the car if it has to be unlocked from the inside? No keyless entry?

In my experience, 95% of the dating tests are done by women.

That test involving the car locks is from the movie "Bronx Tale" or "Bronx Story" or something like that. Doesn't work so well in the world of power locks.

I just see if the woman is congruent in her actions. Does she show interest by acting cold or hard to get? Does she badmouth others? Does she seem fake by putting up a charade? I have a highly tuned bs detector and I don't rely on manipulation to test someone's responce.

Here's the thing. It's a test. I don't like people who feel the need to test their relationships. Whether it be friends, co-workers, family or significant others.

Everything listed in that "article", minus the leave her alone with family, are manipulative jerk-her-around actions that, when found out that they are tests, would make me question my relationship with my partner. I might even end it if he needed to test me.

Actions do speak louder than words. But don't create a situation just to see what their actions will be. This goes for men and women. These same tests are signs of an insecure person.

I kind of thought some of them made the guy seem classless too. Like flirting with the waitress while you are together at the diner.

Or showing up for a date in rumpled clothes plus no shower after working out. Uh, yeah kinda gross and inappropriate.

Is that just me? Or would anyone else think wow what a tasteless dude and ditch him?

The article has a whole list of dating tests written by men for men so I sincerely doubt your statistic is a) verifiable or b) accurate.

I give them a Rubik's Cube with the stickers rearranged so it's unsolvable.

My "tests" are inadvertent. For example, earlier in the year I suggested going to a mexican restaurant to a gal and told her how much I wanted to try the huitlacoche quesadillas. She wrote back essentially saying she wasn't going to eat any. I didn't plan it to be a test, but it turned one.

Yikes the author of that article certainly does not like women. I think it is silly to run tests. Pay attention to how your date acts.
