A Pisces man is quite a catch! He's intuitive, generous, and easy-going, so you might be surprised when he begins testing you. This is just his way of checking to see whether you two are compatible. Don't worry—in this article, we'll show you exactly how a Pisces man tests you, and give you advice on how to respond.

1

He ignores your calls or texts.

2

He gives you the silent treatment.

  1. Pisces gives you the cold shoulder to find out if you're understanding. You probably know that a Pisces likes you if he wants to spend lots of time with you. However, if he's testing you, your guy will go silent just to see how you react. He wants to know if you'll respect his privacy or if you'll become angry and argumentative. Give him some time and don't push.
    • The silent treatment is not okay if you feel like he's doing it to punish you—say, you're in a committed relationship with him and you two have been fighting. If this is the case, blow off some steam and talk about your problems.
3

He spends more time with his friends.

5

He doesn’t like making plans.

6

He cancels plans once you’ve made them.

  1. Your Pisces will test you to see if you're flexible. As a mutable sign, Pisces can be indecisive, so don't be surprised if you finally make plans only to have him cancel on you.[1] He wants to see if you'll get upset and demand that he stick to the plans, or if you'll be understanding and go along with his change of schedule. He wants flexibility.
    • Think about what you want in a relationship—if you want someone steadfast that you can rely on, then make commitment a priority. If you're fine with a fun, casual relationship, then don't stress when he cancels on you.
    • If you're alright with him canceling, keep an upbeat attitude and say something like, "No worries! We'll get together another time."
8

He acts hot and cold.

He tests your boundaries.

  1. A Pisces might disregard your boundaries to see if you stand up for yourself. You've probably already established some basic boundaries in the relationship—think of these as how emotionally or physically close you let him get. You might have boundaries about how physical you are with each other, how often you'll communicate, or what you expect from each other emotionally. He may start disregarding your boundaries to see what you'll do. Since he's good at enforcing his boundaries, he wants to see if you can do the same.
    • Stand up for yourself and explain your standards. He'll be impressed that you don't let him push you around.
    • For example, if you've asked him not to call you late at night, but he starts calling once you've gone to bed, ignore his calls and remind him that you don't accept calls after a certain time.

He pulls away.

  1. Pulling away if a Pisces' way of seeing if you'll stick with him. If your Pisces man is falling for you, he'll love the sense of loyalty he feels, but he'll also be afraid to lose his sense of freedom, especially if he's not sure you're also committed to him. This makes him confused, and he may distance himself from you while he figures out what he wants.[2]
    • The best thing you can do is be non-confrontational, but supportive. Let him know that you're around when he wants to talk, but focus on your own interests or spend time with your friends.
