Putting other people up to random 'tests' that they don't know about, that seems like a bad system. Though your specific example about kids is clearly an important thing to be worried about.
Disclaimer: I’m in my early 20s and have had 1 relationship that ended last year, lasting about 2 or 3 years and she was the one who asked me out
100% agree, I feel like you could make a case for fishing out red flags like if your partner will respect you on a first date or more extreme cases safety (feel like that’s cause for no second date tho) like maybe yeah. But tests, no. Bigger no if it’s in an established relationship as it shows there’s a huge amount of distrust
I am super burnt out rn from my day so I hope there’s a coherent thought in there somewhere
Testing is important because it's not a great feeling to be trying out with someone who turns out to be an incredible waste of time and effort.
Testing is a 1-way communication style. The most important foundation to a relationship is communication. "Testing" undermines that and is a red flag on date 1. Now, having a conversation and talking about things is something else.
