Being late is a blatant form of disrespectful behavior which shows little to no regards for your time. When you’ve made plans with someone, whether it be a significant other or a friend and they show up late and make you wait, they are ultimately letting you know that they have little to no regards for your feelings and for your time. If you are able to calculate exactly how long it takes you to get ready and are able to arrive on time, they should be able to do the same. Being late is an example of how a man will test your boundaries to see if you call him out on his bad behavior.
Men frequently test the woman they are dating by pushing the woman’s boundaries to see exactly where this woman will fit in their lives. The men are able to cast a few test that will let them know if you’re going to be a casual fling, a long term relationship or a one night stand.
These tests are meant to help them differentiate between the woman that is open to have a causal relationship and the woman who is looking for a long term relationship. Now, if you ask any man they will tell you that a lot of women present themselves as though they are the long term relationship type and then they go and do something ridiculously stupid that tells them otherwise.
Men are very rational creatures and they know when someone is just saying things that they want to hear. A man has gone through certain in past relationships that they are trying to avoid in future relationships. I cannot stress enough that a man has to earn your attention and your affection and he knows this. Men do not want the easy girl, they need some sort of challenge. He knows what it took to get you into bed and is able to imagine you meeting another man and giving it up just as easily. You no longer possess any sort of value. A man wants an impossible woman to get because it makes him feel as though he’s won a prize. Regardless of the things he says to you, please pay attention to his actions.
When he takes you out to dinner, he is paying attention to how you are in public. Men do not like drama and cannot fathom why women run towards it. They want to see how nice you are to the staff even though they cooked your food differently from how you asked. They want to see that they can take you out in public and you don’t embarrass them.
When a man introduces you to his friends, you better believe that these friends are giving them their opinion on you. This man values their opinion so you probably are being put through a test. When meeting this man’s friends, you might think that laughing at jokes made about the guy you are dating is all in good fun, but your man wants you to be his advocate. He doesn’t want you to insult him in anyway in front of his friends. You aren’t one of the guys, you are his lady. Act like it. You should also be weary of being overly flirtatious with his friends. You might believe that exchanging Facebooks, Instagram or phone numbers with one of his boy’s is actually bringing you closer to him but it can look like you’re just trying to creep in on him instead.
Unlike most women, men have realized that their partner has to ultimately prove themselves before they can be in any type of relationship with them. I understand a lot of women feel as though they do not need to prove themselves to any man but when it comes down to it, you also have a list of things you require in a potential mate and you should not knock a man who knows what he wants. Realize what you want from your man and find exactly that without settling. Men have no qualms when it comes to making sure that their woman is the one for them, make sure you give them just as high standards.
