Libras Testing Others

Has anyone experienced this, or do any of the Libras on this board do this? And if so, why?

The Libra guy I see on and off will say things that make me think he doesn't remember something we did or said, but then I find out later he really did remember.

Today, for instance, I mentioned something and he said something like "we never did that together" or "that must have been things you did with someone else." Well, I know darn well we did it together, so I said "yes, we did. We did it on (this day)..." and he said something like " and she (meaning me) said it was nice because..." Basically repeating what I said back then. So I playfully smacked him and said "see you do know we did it!" And he said "I just wanted to see if you remember."

What's up with that? Why does he do that??

It can be deliberate and we do play such games. But also possible that he is unable to recollect it when you mention the past and will remember within a few mts.

I always face this issue. Most times I forget and will remember it within few seconds after I replied "I dont know" to whoever asked me the question.

Maybe he thinks your ditzy and feels like he has to keep your mind stimulated.

I lived with a Libra for 3 years and he never did this to me.

Maybe it's his humor .. perhaps, he's trying to be silly.

Yes mine does this sometimes - I think its his way of checking to see if I remember things the way he does...dunno but its kinda cute. This coming from a guy who remembers every minute detail of us coming together and everything since, I see it as healthy teasing 🙂

Also, if I give him a compliment he'll work it and get more out of me....constant attention and stimulation seems to be required at all times (it never seems enough LOL)...sheesh!!

Yes, I definitely have had that experience with Libras. The really don't forget anything longer than a few seconds it always come right back to them. However they can forget for a few seconds quite often. I know confusing, but so.

Especially if they are interested in that person...NOTHING escapes their memory 😛

haha omg I didn't even realize I do that but...I do...

I don't forget anything...especially info about people I care about or am interested in. I ask them questions to make sure they're telling the truth about stuff...and that they're being consistent...

"Most times I forget and will remember it within few seconds after I replied "I dont know" to whoever asked me the question."
^i do that all the time...especially when my mom asks me if anyone calls on the phone, and i'm like no and then a few seconds later i'm like, "oh yeah aunt v called"...

Thanks for everyone's insight. We do a lot of teasing with each other. Thinking about it, I think some of it is teasing, and some of it is his way of seeing if I remember those times as well before admitting that he does. At times he seems a bit insecure/shy/guarded, and it seems like he doesn't want to just put himself out there and be open; maybe he feels like might get hurt and wants to hold a part of himself back.

And, yes, I can see how Libras might initially not remember and then it comes to them. I see this in my brother, who's a Libra as well.

* "Most times I forget and will remember it within few seconds after I replied "I dont know" to whoever asked me the question."

This. After you painted the picture by giving more details, then he remembers.

I have not done what is described above. However, and assuming that the above story falls in the category 'testing', I could see myself test someone if I felt that there was a trust issue. I would never just do it and certainly not when/immediately after meeting someone one . We're positive remember?.

I would probably 'test' because I was not direct enough to ask what I need to know. I think I would do it verbally and the expected test response would then something that I could see in their face or what they might say. I would not test and see whether I get invited three days later - or something like that. I look for my test result right there and then.

'Testing' is probably along the same lines as 'hinting' e.g. not direct.

would then be*

He was actually being affectionate, showing his affection in humor. It can be confusing because we tend to have a "third person" type of humor, where it sounds like we are talking about someone else or another couple and were really making a joke about ourselves, the other person or "us".

We need balance everywhere. We love the heave romantic, sentamental affection, but we need to have an equal amount of the light hearted, humerous affection as well and we crack a lot of sly or double meaning jokes about our feelings or the other person or both.

I often do the exact same thing he did, where we talk as if we are talking about something that happened in a past relationship or with another girl and it really happened between us. He is just teasing you. And teasing to us is a sign of affection, and we usually tease about cirtain features or characteristics that the other person is uncomfortable with in themselves and we do it in such a way to make light of their discomfort or dislike to show not only we love all of you, but we love all of your faults, or what you percieve as faults as well.

So if your a chick and you have big feet or big hands or do something ditzy we will make fun of it in an affectionate way. This shows you we see all of you, don't try to hide anything from us because whatever it is you don't like about yourself, or are unhappy with, we see and we will love it for you if you wont.

nic', you're right on as usual.

I do it. I always ask if they remember. If they've forgotten I do get offended but I play it off as 'whatever'. If they do forget thats another point for them in my good books.
