Some people don’t ask if you’re generous—they test it. Long before a relationship becomes official, subtle trials are often in motion. These aren’t obvious, like someone flat-out asking for money or favors. Instead, they’re quiet little gauges of how giving you are, whether emotionally, financially, or with your time. And if you miss the signs, you might find yourself caught in a dynamic where one person is doing all the giving—and the other all the taking.
