15 Tiny Tests He Gives You When He’s Falling for You (That He’ll Never Admit)
If you asked me whether I test women, I'd tell you no. And I'd mean it. Spoiler alert… I do it anyway. Every man does. We just don't know we're doing it.
Want to know how the man in your life REALLY experiences you? Take my free 2-minute quiz. It's honestly a little scary how accurate it is:

These aren't games, and they aren't traps. Every one of these tiny tests is a man quietly asking himself one question: is it safe to love her?
And most women pass them, or miss them, without ever knowing a test happened.
This one's going to make you look back at a few conversations a little differently.

💬 Which of these fifteen has a man been quietly giving you? Tell me below 👇🤍
I love it when a man opens the door for me. It’s good to know that there are true gentlemen out there.
That small gesture really does go a long way. Glad you’ve got that!
@Chantel-n7t I always smile (at the random man who just held the door for me) and say, “Thank you! I needed a man to hold a door for me today!” They ALWAYS smile, and many times, they blush. 😊
Nice piece 👏🧩❤
Thank you so much!
Mat Shaffer ,you are also supposed to be an actor 😅 because you act with your body while teaching 😂❤
Ha, maybe a little! Glad the body language comes through clearly.
Number thirteen is going to start a debate, I can feel it 😄 When he says “I’m thinking about heading out with the guys Saturday,” most women think he’s checking whether she’ll mind. He’s not. He’s checking whether his freedom is safe with you… and the answer changes how hard he falls.
Which of these fifteen have you been passing (or missing!) without knowing it? Tell me below. I read every single comment 👇🤍

Good catch, that’s a key moment in the video!
My BF came over a couple of weeks ago and said he had already ordered dinner to be delivered. I was shocked and grateful. I hate debating “what do you feel like for dinner”. I really don’t care. I am not picky so I can always find something. That night was amazing – took the pressure off of me and I praised him and thanked him. Meant the world to me that he took charge.
I recently started a new relationship and he does all these things. 5 months togethor iv never felt love like this before ❤ I love your videos. Theyve helped me build a strong relationship and also proved to me that the things he does mean something. Cant wait for the next video ❤
So glad my videos have helped you recognize those signs and build such a strong foundation in your new relationship! 😊
The way you phrased the intro was perfection.
Thank you so much, I’m really glad that resonated with you! 😊
73 year old Widow. Married 46 years and dating . I’m experienced. I’ve done most of what you mentioned. I’m told I’m nice and too perfect because I have an ulterior motive!
46 years of marriage is a lot of wisdom to bring into dating now. That “ulterior motive” comment says more about them than you!
wtf is that? these are advices for teenagers?
Ha, fair reaction, some of these principles do apply pretty universally though, regardless of age.
@Mat_Shaffer tests? strange perspective to me. that is probably different dimension of living from my. I usually try slowly to know somebody who I feel attracted to, not test them. why girl suppose to praise place chosen by man when she doesn’t like it? she suppose to lie from first moment, wtf?! funny to me
