34 Things To Do With Your Boyfriend To Test Whether He’s The One We all have our own ‘deal breakers’ and there are some things you need to know about your partner before you say ‘I Do’. Here are 34 things you must experience with your other half to make sure he’s the one. 1. Requesting your partner purchase a gift for a wedding or birthday – This tests his ability and consideration.

2. Run an hour late for something – This tests his patience.

3. Attend a dress up party with your partner- This tests his fun-loving nature. 4. Request my partner pick-up a friend of yours who’s in trouble at an inconvenient time – This tests his loyalty. 5. Introduce your partner to ALL of your friends – This tests his ability to impress and converse. 6. Take a holiday with your partner (without other family or friends) – This tests his patience, his ability to interact with strangers and how he likes to spend his time away- restaurants, bars, hotels etc. 7. Request a really expensive (but obviously not outrageously so) present for your birthday- This tests his ability to spoil you occasionally. 8. Accidentally miss five of his calls and await the reaction/response- This tests his nature and how he reacts when annoyed. 9. Outwardly disagree with your partner in a public place – This tests his conversational skills, wit, humour and ability to problem solve. 10. Attend an occasion that goes past midnight – This tests whether he can let loose and have a good time. 11. Ask your partner to run some errands for you – This is something that he’ll have to do when you married and tests his ability to respond. 12. Host an event with your partner – This tests whether he can be a good host and whether he knows how to entertain. 13. Ask your partner to cook dinner – This tests whether he’s a good cook and whether he’s willing to help in the kitchen.
