Think aloud
Geminis are extremely flirtatious human beings, so it’s sometimes difficult to discern whether a Gemini guy is interested in you or not. How does he decide if you’re the right lover for him? How does a Gemini man test you?
Before I give you the answers, keep in mind that Geminis are adventure-seeking people who know how to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest. They’re all about healthy communication, inner happiness, and a playful lifestyle.
That’s why Gemini women and men are used to being called out as flirts due to their laid-back personalities. They’re social butterflies in every sense of the word.
With all this in mind, it might be tricky to know if a Gemini man is truly interested in you or testing the waters.
And how does a Gemini man go about testing you? What does he want to test you for in the first place? Well, he wishes to be accepted for who he is. He tests you based on the space you give him – he doesn’t want anyone to overstep his personal boundaries.
He’s searching for a lover who trusts him that he’ll remain faithful. Unlike Aquarius, Aries, and Capricorn who are known to be unfaithful to their partners, Gemini is loyal to one woman. There has to be something serious going on between you and him if he ever decides to cheat on you.
Gemini Personality Traits
I know it’s bothering you that you don’t know the answer to the question “How does a Gemini man test you?” But first, you have to become familiar with the most common personality traits of a Gemini guy.
Since he belongs to the group of air signs, they’re known to be very social, likable, and persuasive when they want to. Most zodiac sign experts will agree that Geminis have two faces as they’re symbolized by the twins.
It can be frustrating to deal with a Gemini man as you never know what to expect. One moment, he may agree with you, but the next, he may do a complete U-turn and decide to do something differently.
Despite their dual nature, they’re quite spontaneous and it’s difficult to decipher what’s going on inside their mind. They’re indecisive and inconsistent, which makes them unpredictable.
Therefore, it’s for the best to enjoy the moment when you’re with a Gemini man and not think about the future. Just focus on what’s happening now as it’ll be easier for you to be happy with such a guy.Â
On the positive side, a Gemini male is devoted to his partner once he feels that she’s the right one for him. But the journey to get there and become his girlfriend can be tiresome and exhausting.
He’s a man who’s afraid of a routine, both in his love life and his personal life, and easily gets bored. He’s not looking for a partner who’s afraid to come out of her shell and not open to new experiences.
Also, being controlled and playing mind games is a major turn-off for a Gemini man. Essentially, he’s fun to be with because he’ll help you get in touch with your inner child. And he wants someone who’ll do the same for him.
How Does A Gemini Man Test You?
The first time you meet a Gemini man, you may think that you don’t have a shot with him, but as you get to know him better, you’ll learn how to deal with his chaotic social life, and eventually, you’ll adapt to it.
But it’s important to know the methods he’ll use to test you to see whether or not you’re the girl for him, because he focuses more on compatibility than pure physical attraction.
So, how does a Gemini man test you? Here are the 13 most common strategies he’ll implement to decide if you’re girlfriend material:
1. A boring relationship
Libra, Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Gemini all have one thing in common: They hate living a boring, everyday life. So, a Gemini man will test this aspect in you. He’ll look for telltale signs that your relationship will eventually become boring.
You see, if a Gemini man likes you, he’ll put in the effort to show you that, but first, he has to make sure that you’ll never allow your relationship to fall into a rut. Since he’s ruled by the planet Mercury, he needs constant excitement and change.
He would hate himself if he ever became an average Joe. He despises those who won’t open themselves to new things and can’t stand the prospect of living a dull and peaceful life.
A Gemini guy refuses to believe that those initial butterflies that you feel at the beginning of every relationship will eventually fade away. He doesn’t understand or rather lives in denial that every romance will be sunshine and rainbows all the time. But most of us know that isn’t true at all.
Every couple will fall into some kind of rut after years of being together. It’s inevitable. But despite the reality, Gemini wants to avoid happening this to him at all costs. He’ll pull away from you the moment he starts becoming bored.
2. Believing in yourself
One major turn-off for a Gemini guy is a woman who doesn’t believe in herself. Someone who always seeks his validation and doesn’t think she can achieve her dreams.
But this doesn’t mean that he’ll walk away at the first sign of insecurity. He understands that everyone has some things they would like to change about themselves.
However, it’s a fact that he’s searching for a woman who’ll be as confident in herself as he is. But you have to be careful. Being cocky to prove him your worth isn’t going to bring you any closer to your goal.
A guy with a horoscope like his is attracted to a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to get it. His idea of an ideal woman is someones who is fearless and, at times, ruthless.
Remember that you’re dating one of the most confident zodiac signs. And with that in mind, it’s normal for him to search for a similar woman. Someone who’ll always keep him on his toes.
If your desire is to find a man who’ll put all of his efforts into making future plans with you and building your self-esteem, I’m sorry to tell you, but a Gem is not the man of your dreams. You have to be aware of your beauty and intelligence if you wish to attract a Gemini guy.
After all, he won’t be the one to convince you that you possess all of the abovementioned qualities.
3. Taking the initiative
Unlike Virgo, Taurus, and Pisces who want to feel in control in their relationship, Geminis aren’t like that. They’re not into toxic masculinity. They won’t think they’re cowards or less manly if you make the first move or take charge in a relationship.
In fact, they’ll respect you more for it and show their appreciation by opening up to you. You can be sure that a Gemini man is in love with you if he’s letting you take the initiative.
One way to attract him is by showing him that you’re interested. The last thing you want is to just let him take the lead because you’re a lady or to act like a puppet. This kind of behavior will drive him away from you.
Keep in mind that there’s a thin line between showing genuine interest and being too pushy. You have to maintain a healthy middle ground. Don’t call him all the time and whatever do you, don’t blow up his phone asking him where he is and what he’s doing.
And if you ever do something wrong or make a mistake, just apologize to him. Don’t play those blame games with him because it won’t work.
Also, he’s not the type of person who’ll send the first text or make the first phone call, since he wants you to show initiative. Come up with some new date ideas and fun activities you can do together because that’s what he expects from you. He doesn’t want a boring girlfriend, remember?
You can always surprise him with concert tickets for the weekend or book a hotel room just for the two of you, no questions asked.
You want to pass his tests with flying colors, right? Then show him that you’re adventurous and you know how to seize the day.
4. Keeping up with him
How does a Gemini man test you, you ask? Well, before he takes your dating to the next level, he checks if you’re a good fit in his life.
It’s a fact that Geminis enjoy being in the center of attention. After all, they’re social butterflies. They’ve got a large circle of friends and don’t want to change their lifestyle just because they’ve found a girlfriend.
So, what does all of this mean for you? You have to be able to keep up with him and his energetic lifestyle if you ever wish him to call you his significant other.
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to fit in with his social circle? Are you willing to tolerate his family if they say that they don’t like you? And are you ready to join him in his adventures?
Ask yourself all these questions first before you make a decision to start a relationship with a Gemini man.
5. Giving him space
If you want a serious relationship with a Gemini guy, just set him free and let him do whatever he wants. If he comes back, then he’s yours forever. And if he doesn’t, then he was never yours in the first place. This is the first test he’ll put you through before deciding if you’re worthy of his love.
Being clingy and needy is a big no-no for him. He’s not the kind of guy who’ll openly ask for more space or to respect his boundaries, although it would be much easier if he did.
At first, he may allow you to be clingy for a while. But that’s only because he wants to see whether or not you genuinely understand someone else’s independence. If he had to mention that he needs some space, then you’d probably give it to him, just to keep him by your side. But that’s not what he’s aiming for.
He wants his woman to appreciate her independence the same way he does. He isn’t looking for a lover who’ll take that freedom away from him.
6. Trusting you
Another way a Gemini man will check if you’re girlfriend material is to test your honesty and loyalty.
You’ve probably noticed that a Gemini man is a good listener and a carefree guy who doesn’t think about what tomorrow might hold. You believe that he only thinks about enjoying the present and that he’s just looking for a way to entertain himself at all times.
But surprisingly, he’s not that superficial. In fact, if he’s interested in you, he’ll actually spend a lot of time analyzing you and every decision you make.
That’s because he doesn’t tolerate a woman who lacks loyalty and isn’t trustworthy. This man must know that you have his back no matter what happens. And the same applies to his friends and family as well.
He wants to be able to rely on you, even if everything around him is falling apart. If a Gemini man falls in love with you, this means that he considers you to be his ride-or-die partner and is counting on your loyalty.
7. Trusting him
We all know that trust goes both ways. So, you have to be careful because he’ll be testing you to find out if you’re able to see through his mask.
It’s very difficult to gauge what’s going on inside a Gemini’s mind. But he wants to see whether you have what it takes to uncover all the layers of his personality and perceive him as the loyal guy he is.
Yes, he’s a pleasure-seeker, but he doesn’t want his love life to be filled with jealousy. He won’t tolerate you breathing down his neck. Also, he won’t put up with a stalker woman who tracks his every move.
The truth is, if he wanted to do something behind your back, he’d find a way to do it, without a doubt. There’s little you could do to change that.
In fact, he’ll do something he shouldn’t do if you show him that you can’t trust him. That’s why you need to accept him the way he is and find a way to live with it because he won’t adjust to you. It has to be the other way around.
8. Keeping your conversations light and fun
A Gemini man may be great at entertaining others since he’s a skilled talker, but he’s also a great listener. And he wants a girlfriend who won’t have any issues with expressing herself verbally.
He needs someone he can have late-night talks with, sharing each other’s deepest secrets. He won’t waste his time with people who only talk about the weather.
The bottom line is that his guy will test your communication skills from the very beginning. If you’re an introvert who rather shows her love through actions, I’m sorry to break it to you, but it’s not likely you’ll pass this man’s tests.
Expect that he’ll talk to you about important topics even during the initial stages of your relationship. He may ask you things like “How many kids do you want to have?” or “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” So, the real question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you’re ready for this.
If he sees that you’re a wonderful listener and an even better talker, he’ll immediately put pedal to the medal to make you fall for him even harder.
9. Being the adult in the relationship
Even though it might seem as if he has it all figured out, sometimes, this man needs a parent instead of a girlfriend. And by that, I don’t mean that you should try to control his life in any way or start nagging about his childish behavior.
But, there will be situations when his childish nature will come to the surface and he’ll expect you to take care of him. He’ll probably do this subconsciously, but he really wants you to be the adult in your relationship.
Perhaps you’ll have to remind him of his doctor’s appointment at the last minute or make sure that he remembers his sister’s birthday. Those are the things you need to prepare yourself for if you want a Gemini man to chase you.
He may give you a hard time sometimes, but his immaturity is actually part of his charm.
10. Being his friend
There’s one thing that’s more important to a Gemini man than his love life and that’s his friends. Having a close circle of people he knows he can trust is imperative for him, and he wants a romantic partner who can be his friend as well.
Be ready to become his partner in crime and life companion, and he’ll never leave you.
11. Putting up with him
I know it’s tough to deal with a Gemini man. He’s a challenging being, for sure. You always have to expect the unexpected from him. You might wake up one day to find him having played video games all night. Or you might find out that he’s been flirting with other girls as well.
So, it’s no surprise that women have a hard time staying in a relationship with a man like this.
But what makes him so attractive is the fact that he’s perfectly aware of all of his flaws. He knows that he’s not easy to handle.
He doesn’t need a woman who thinks that she has what it takes to put up with him at first, only to give up on him the moment she realizes his unpredictability.
So before you start anything with him, ask yourself if he’s worth all the trouble and can you endure being with a man like this.
12. Pushing him to commit
A Gemini man despises feeling caged in a relationship. He’s a free-spirited guy who cherishes his freedom over everything else.
This doesn’t mean that he’ll run away the second things get serious between you and him. Even though he’s a commitment-phobe, he’ll take your relationship to the next level once he feels ready for it.
The worst thing you can do is try and push him to commit. In that case, he’ll break up with you for good.
Your best option is to pour your heart out and be honest about your feelings for him. Don’t play any twisted mind games with this man because it won’t work. He’s clever enough to see right through your intentions.
13. Accepting his true self
A Gemini male will never allow anyone to change him, not even if he loves the person with all of his heart. And this is something he’ll notice the moment you two meet. Are you genuinely interested in him or in the man you want him to become?
He’s ready to accept his flaws and work on them, but that has to happen on his own terms. Even if you suggest to him what he should wear or how he should behave around his friends, he’ll take that as an insult and back away from you.
The second you try to reshape him and turn him into someone he’s not, you’re gone and you’ll be left alone.
If you really want to pass his tests with flying colors, show him that he can be his true self with you. Give him the space to express himself freely and you’ll make him fall in love with you in no time.
