How Does a Scorpio Man Test You?

Scorpio man will do several things to test how loyal, honest, and committed a potential partner is.

He’ll pry into your past relationships. He’ll snoop around and see how you act when he’s not around.

He’ll also play hard to get and he may even start arguments. He wants to see how you react and if you’ll chase him.

If he does go too far, it’s only because he’s terrified of being hurt.

Sometimes, you need to have a serious discussion with him if you think he’s “testing” you.

Plays Hard to Get

One example of Scorpio’s mind games is playing hard to get. This is fairly simple. He just wants to see if you’re willing to work to earn his affections.

If you’re just wanting a relationship with anyone or are just interested in sex, you might not pass this test. You have to really want a Scorpio man and go after him if he’s playing hard to get.

He might seem like he’s ignoring you or giving you the silent treatment sometimes. This Scorpio silence test is just another way of playing hard to get sometimes.

He’s seeing how you react to his silence. Do you give him space? Do you endlessly pester him with messages? Do you offer up an apology for some unknown slight?

Why do Scorpios run away and pretend they don’t like you even when they do? Scorpio men want to see if you’re actually interested in them. A Scorpio man wants to know that it’s him you’re after specifically.

Compatibility

He’ll test how compatible you two are in several ways. One way he’ll test this is by seeing how independent you are.

He’ll pull the Scorpio disappearing test and ghost you for a while.

He wants to see if you can handle yourself without him. He also wants to see if you can respect his space. If you can do both those things, you’ll have a better long-term relationship with him.

When a Scorpio man needs space, he must get that from his partner. If you can’t give him space or if you get upset when you two are apart, you two might not be compatible.

He’ll also test your compatibility by asking pointed questions to figure out what your values are. He might even talk to your friends or exes to see how you really feel about certain things.

He doesn’t want to date somebody who doesn’t have the same values as he does. He will do things to figure out what your real values are.

Sex

Scorpio men sometimes use sex as a test of their relationship and also the true intentions of their partner.

Sometimes, he’ll hold off on having sex with you. He might be doing this because he wants to make sure you’re not just with him for the sex.

If you care about him and you’re really in it for the long haul, you’ll be willing to wait.

He’ll use sex as a test of your physical compatibility. If you two aren’t compatible in bed, he might reconsider the relationship.

If he has sex with you and you suddenly grow distant, that will show him you may have only been interested in sex. It might also tell him that you didn’t think you two were physically compatible.

Lastly, he’ll pay attention to how you act right after sex. Sex in a relationship is an emotional thing for him. He likes pillow talk. He likes to be physically affectionate after sex.

If you just have sex with him and then run off, he’ll know you two aren’t compatible.

Your Loyalty

Scorpio men will do multiple things to test your loyalty.

He might snoop around to try and see what you were like in previous relationships. If he finds out you cheated on an ex, he’ll be extremely reluctant to date you.

He’ll also pay attention to how you act around other men. He’s going to be wary of you if you flirt with others in front of him.

He’ll tell you secrets that aren’t actually that important to him at first to test your loyalty as well. Do you keep the secret or do you run off and tell your friends?

He doesn’t want to be in a relationship with someone who will cheat on him or spill his most intimate secrets. He’ll do whatever he can to figure out if you’re the type of person who will do those things.

Your Level of Commitment

One example of Scorpio’s tests of commitment can be seen when he introduces you to his family or friends. He’s seeing how you’ll react when he asks you to meet his loved ones. Are you excited? Do you tell him it’s too soon?

When he’s ready to have you meet his family and close friends, that’s a sign he’s serious about you. If you’re serious about him, then you should meet the people who are important to him.

He’ll start talking about the future as well. He sometimes does this just to see how you’ll react. Do you freak out when he brings up marriage or do you calmly discuss the topic?

If he’s ready to commit to you, he wants to make sure you’re on the same page. If you aren’t, you need to make that clear to him right away. He doesn’t want to give his heart to somebody who doesn’t want it.

Your Honesty

When he trusts you, that’s a sign that a Scorpio man has feelings for you. Until he trusts you, though, he’ll do things to test your honesty and your level of trustworthiness.

He’ll ask you questions he already knows the answer to. He wants to see if you’ll tell him the truth.

He’s great at finding information on people. He’ll stalk your social media, he’ll sneakily gather information from your friends, he might even talk to one of your exes.

Be honest with him. Even if you think he won’t like the real answer to a question, you need to tell him the truth.

If he catches you in a lie, he’s never going to truly trust you. If he can’t trust you, you two aren’t going to have a very long relationship.

He’ll Set You Up

Scorpio men aren’t above setting you up to test you.

He’ll ask a friend of his to flirt with you or slide into your DMs. If you flirt back, his friend is going to let him know. If you turn him down, his friend will let him know that too.

Even though he set the situation up, he’s going to be upset if you respond positively to his friend’s flirting.

He’ll also see if you tell him about the friend flirting with you. It’s better to tell him because he’s testing your honesty in addition to your fidelity.

It can be frustrating when Scorpio men do this. If you think he’s purposely setting you up, just do what you need to do to “pass” the test. Then talk to him about it and let him know his behavior bothers you.

Observation

Scorpio men are very observant. They are good at hiding in the shadows when they need to and might be gathering information even when people don’t realize it.

He’ll see how you interact with your friends and family. He’ll constantly check your social media pages. Even if you think he doesn’t know about a certain profile of yours, he does.

He’s looking for any sign that you’re not being entirely genuine with him. He’ll be able to tell if you’re lying or hiding something from him.

He’ll Argue With You

Scorpio men sometimes start arguments just to see what will happen. This is one of their more frustrating tests.

He will pick an argument with you just to see what your arguing style is. Do you insult him? Do you bring up things he told you in confidence and throw them back in his face?

Arguments happen during relationships. He wants to see if you fight dirty. He also wants to see if you’ll apologize afterward.

Don’t assume all arguments are a test, of course. Legitimate arguments happen sometimes! If he seems like he’s just picking fights for no reason, though, he probably is.

If a Scorpio man stops communicating with you following an argument, either it was a legitimate argument or you “failed” his test.

Might Go Too Far

A Scorpio man can go too far with any of the types of scorpio tests. Not all Scorpio men will take things to the extreme but sometimes, his tests are too much for people to handle.

Why do Scorpios push you away and test you before starting a relationship? Scorpio men don’t trust easily. They don’t want to get into a relationship with somebody who is going to hurt them.

He sometimes pushes things too far in his quest to protect himself.
