A good litmus test is that you should be comfortable with your significant other being present when you hang out with your friend.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The true test of a relationship is traveling together.
Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time.
Any time you have intimacy with someone, there is something between them.
I did like Test, and he was a guy I kept in touch with for years after we stopped working together.
When I meet a couple, I'm always interested to know if they have been together for a long time, or how loyal they are, because I know that will impact on how much I'm prepared to trust them.
In romance, we feel the need to zoom in and expound on our partner's foibles in intimate detail; in friendship, we tend to do the opposite, avoiding confrontation through fear, lethargy or both.
Everyone has tests in their life. They come in lots of different forms. I had two or three together, which definitely challenged me as a person and as a sportsman. The big thing is how you react to those situations. You want to come out positively at the other end, and that's what I focused on doing.
People come in and out of our lives, and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other.
It's important for couples to be friends first and to respect each other as individuals.
We are really on top of one another at the moment and I think it is amazing how we stay so close. Maybe that's the test. Why not totally put yourself together, rather than always wonder whether you actually like each other?
