The “test” (if you could call it that) that I never understood was the engagement chicken. If you were to propose to me, please, for the love of god, don’t try to impress me with chicken. Give me an unlimited bowl of spaghetti carbonera with a big-ass chocolate cake, and then I’ll consider marrying you! 

I find the olive theory extraordinarily stupid. The best thing about a relationship are the commonalities — and that includes food. I'd prefer to share a pint of Phish Food with my partner than have to buy a jar of olives I'll never enjoy. 

I've definitely had dealbreakers in the past, but I don't think there's a "test" that helps you choose who you should be with. Just ensure you have chemistry, that you enjoy one another's company outside of the romance, and that your fights aren't horrible. 

This guy does this thing from this movie where he would open the door of a car and let the girl go in then by the time he walks to the other side of the car he can see if she would reach over and unlock his door. If not she wasn’t the one

I was rewatching HIMYM and was reminded of the Olive Theory (in that in every relationship, one person has to love olives, the other has to hate them). It is something that my friends and I joke about whenever one of us starts dating someone new... "But how do they feel about olives?" 

Personally, I don't know if I buy into these "soulmate" tests. (IDK if I even buy into soulmates in general!) But I'm curious... what are other tests or theories when it comes to relationships that you've either had come up in your life, are from movies/tv, or you feel particularly superstitious about. (One of my best friends believes the olive theory so much that she stopped dating a guy bc he also loved them. Crazy!)
