How Does an Aquarius Man Test You?

Aquarius men like partners who are independent and not too clingy. He’ll do things to see if you’re as free and independent as he is or if you’ll require more attention than he’s able to give.

He’s always looking for somebody trustworthy. If he can’t trust you, he won’t want to be in a relationship with you. He needs you to tell him the truth.

Most of his “tests” just require him to observe your usual behavior. He won’t always try to put you into situations to see how you react.

Tests Your Neediness

If an Aquarius man is playing the waiting game with you, it might be because he’s seeing how needy you are in a relationship.

This isn’t always actually a test. Sometimes he’s legitimately busy or he forgot to reply to a message. Don’t think that every single unanswered text is a test!

If he does take a while to reply to you on purpose, it’s because he’s testing how needy and clingy you are.

He wants to see if you’ll continuously message him or demand a reply. If you do, that’s going to show him that you two might not be that compatible.

He doesn’t always respond immediately. He also doesn’t always have time to hang out at the last minute. If you ask him to come over and he says no, he’ll have some doubts if you get upset about it.

Test Your Independence

An Aquarius man’s disappearing act is another thing that might be a test or might just be him legitimately disappearing for a while.

He doesn’t always ghost people on purpose. When he does, it might be because he wants to see how independent they are.

If he goes to a party with you and is suddenly nowhere to be found, don’t get upset. He didn’t go to a party to spend the whole night with you! He might want to go say hi to some other people.

When he says he can’t go on a date with you because he already has plans, don’t get mad about it. If you want to go out, make plans of your own with somebody else.

An Aquarius man needs an independent partner. If you want to be with him long-term, you need to be able to do things without him. You need to understand his need to do things on his own as well.

Jokes With You

Aquarius men don’t like to take life too seriously. They are logical people but that doesn’t mean they are sticks in the mud.

He wants to know that you have a sense of humor. He likes somebody who can poke a little fun at themselves and not take themselves too seriously.

He’s not the type to tell offensive jokes and then mock you for not finding them funny so don’t worry about that.

He will joke around a lot, though. He might make fun of himself or he might tease you a little.

Unless it’s truly something you’re sensitive about, try and laugh at yourself from time to time. Not everything is a serious matter.

Asks About Trends

How does an Aquarius man test a woman? He doesn’t plan out elaborate tests. One specific thing he will do is ask you how you feel about certain pop culture or fashion trends.

Aquarius men like to surround themselves with unique individuals who think for themselves. If you are always following the latest trend, you might not be the one for him.

This doesn’t mean that you have to be entirely oblivious to trends or that you can’t pick up some of the ones you like.

If you change your wardrobe every season or always do your makeup the same way everyone else is, he’ll notice though. He might assume that you don’t think for yourself if you always do things like this.

If he asks about a trend, he’s testing whether or not you’re the type of person who is going to know everything about it. If you’re not, that’s a point in your favor.

Tests Your Control

If you want to know when Aquarius man is done with you, think about what happened before he started ghosting you. If you displayed any controlling tendencies, he might be ghosting you for good.

An Aquarius man gets overwhelmed if the people around him try to control his life too much. He needs a high level of freedom. He likes to be the one controlling himself.

If he feels like somebody else is trying to control him, he’ll pull away from them.

He’ll look for any controlling tendencies by paying attention to how you plan dates or how you ask him to do things. If you always take over and tell him what you two are going to do, he might think you’re controlling.

Even if you’re the one planning a date, ask him what he thinks. Make sure everything is alright with him before committing to anything or making reservations.

Tests Trust

What an Aquarius man wants to hear from the people around him is the truth. He doesn’t want you to lie to spare his feelings.

Even if he catches you in a white lie or lies by omission, he might see that as a red flag. This is especially true if you do it a lot.

If he asks a personal question, he might legitimately be asking. He might also already know the answer and he just wants to see if you’ll tell the truth.

If you cheated on an ex and he knows about it, he’ll be wary of you if you avoid mentioning that when talking about past relationships.

If you don’t want to answer a personal question, it’s better just to say that outright. Don’t lie or give half-truths.

Tests Your Intellect

Aquarius men are intellectual people, though not always in the same way as other signs.

He likes to have intelligent conversations even if some of his opinions are a little off-the-wall.

You don’t have to be the smartest person around but he does want to know that you value knowledge. He wants somebody he can learn things with.

Aquarius men like having people around them who will engage them in interesting conversations. He hates having shallow, surface-level discussions. He wants to know all your opinions on important topics.

He might also ask you some bizarre questions from time to time. Answer them the same as you would any other question! He wants to know what you think.

Take Mental Notes

If an Aquarius man acts interested then disappears, it might be because he noticed a few red flags while observing you.

An Aquarius man observing you is the most common way he’ll “test” you. He won’t always put you in certain situations or ask specific questions. He’ll just watch how you normally act.

If he’s paying attention to you, he’s likely to notice little things you might not even know about yourself.

He will notice the way you treat other people. Are you controlling? Are you rude? Do you ignore the needs of others? Or are you a kind, generous person?

He’s not going to judge you off of one action. He will, however, take mental notes and notice if anything concerning is a pattern with you.

Fairly Innocent

Aquarius men don’t want to put you into impossible positions as a way of testing you. They aren’t going to go too far or get too intense about it.

Most of their testing is fairly innocent. As mentioned, some of his actions aren’t him testing you. It’s just the way he always acts.

If you’re worried something is a test, don’t overthink it. You’ll have nothing to worry about if you’re legitimately the type of person he’d fall for.

He’s not trying to trick you. He’s not trying to make you look bad. If he’s testing you, it’s because he’s interested in you.

Try not to take any tests as an insult. They’re innocent and he doesn’t have any nefarious reasons behind them.

Doesn’t Test Too Much

Sometimes when he ghosts you, it’s just because an Aquarius man needs time to think. If he’s asking you certain questions, it’s because he wants to get to know you. If he’s joking around, it’s because he’s a fun person!

He doesn’t like to test people too much. He doesn’t want to control you or play games with your emotions.

If an Aquarius man stopped texting you suddenly, don’t assume it’s some sort of test. Just give him space and wait for him to come back on his own. Whether it’s a test or not, he’ll appreciate you leaving him be.

Try not to be overly suspicious or paranoid when it comes to an Aquarius man. He’s not the type to constantly test you or play games. He’d rather just get to know you and see if you two are compatible.
