They say, ‘When you know, you know’, but that doesn’t mean many of us don’t experience some doubts when we start dating someone new.
And, if you’re currently embarking upon a new relationship and unsure if you’ve met the one for you, then a US relationships expert claims they’ve come up with a quick way for you to tell…
Dating coach Erika Ettin, founder of online dating site A Little Nudge, calls her simple method ‘the bar test’.
Speaking to Business Insider, Ettin explained that her bar test will help you work out whether you’re truly with the right person.
‘As simple as this may seem, I call it the “bar test” to know if you’re with the right person,’ she said.
‘When you’re at a bar (or restaurant, wherever) with your new partner, are you looking around to see who else is out there or who might see you two together?
‘Or, are you perfectly content with your partner, and you want everyone there to notice you with him/her?’
The answer, claims Ettin, should be pretty revealing: if it’s the latter, then you’re probably onto a winner…
And, of course, it works both ways: if you’re wondering whether the person you’re going on dates with is truly into you or not, then you can always flip the test around to gauge whether they appear distracted on your dates.
Of course, some people probably get shy when they’re on dates and might avoid constant eye contact because of nerves, so maybe don’t instantly jump to conclusions if they glance around the room a few times!
