She says its a great test that Scorpio's use to test the object of their affection's loyalty.

If theres a possiblity that he's giving you the "scorpion test" my first instinct would be to chase him. However if your intution is telling you that he really doesn't feel the same, it's best that you move on. We scorps are all or nothing type of people, when we don't like someone in that way there's no changing our minds.

When I meet a potential interest the first thing I do is act cold, & play hard to get. If they show any concern, or an attempt to break through my facade tells me that he's geninue (aside from the ones that just want 1 thing). If not, he already failed the test lol.
The second part of the test begins when the walls come down, and a true friendship starts forming. Out of the blue, I'll intentionally display passive-aggressive mood swings. I understand that this sounds unfair, but the idea is to know how he handles conflict. The last thing I want is to meet a guy who turns out to be abusive in an argument.. because lets be honest, every good relationship has it's disagreements.
Finally, any effort to contact me will build my confidence high enough to ask him out before he even gets the chance. I see this as a reward for all his hard work.

Now I'm not sure if this is exactly how all scorpios give their potential interest "the test", but it's how I've done it since my first crush. Although I've dated, I have never been in a serious relationship due to the fact that, dare I say, I'm picky? . That being said I'm still good friends with most of the guys put to the test lol. Hope I helped!

they will never answer your phone calls but yet you will constantly call them. It isn't because they are mean, they just want more excitement than talking on the phone.

Nice, I take the opposite approach, no walls at all and start a conversation etc

What I've found is at first, most are quite open, then if I like them there are small test of reciprocity

For example, if I buy drinks or whatever one night, watch to see if they offer the next time. A compliment should be met with a compliment, concern for them should be reciprocated w/concern for what is happening with me.

Over time, those small things paint a larger picture

Not all scorpios do that thou, seems more of a negative trait to be honest.. Hey I have my own negative quirks too

I never experience that so I can't say how I would react.

It's not melodrama, not at all, Scorpios are very very organized and like to know where people are coming from in terms of romance.

We take our time, b/c when we go in, we go all in, and despise making the wrong choice in whom we want to be with romantically.

Nah, think of it this way, Scorpios will happily give someone enough rope to hang themselves, it is up to the other person not to hang themselves.

I've had some friends that used me or would abuse our friendship, unfortunately they were the ones that I could trust the most...

Basically being annoying lol. Like rolling my eyes, pretending to be illogical, and playfully pushing their buttons. In my opinion, it's nothing that could permanently ruin a friendship unless they're really senstive or abusive of course. That's why most of them are still my friends afterall

Although I can't tell how you would find out if they would be abusive. I'm not an abusive person but if someone was being overly annoying I would probably not want to hang that much..

I understand what you mean, and I'm not generally a mean person (pisces moon and rising). Though like Padre35 mentioned, as a scorp I do like structure. I rather live in a paranoia than get a surprise attack from someone who I thought I could trust. Having a watery chart you tend to shut down from negativity. I'm much more stable when I feel prepared, and if that means that I lose a potential partnership than to me it's worth it :]
Like I said before I've never been in a serious relationship or intimate. It wouldn't bother me if I ended up living the rest of my life that way.

Exactly, the way a Scorpio views the world is it is better not to be hurt then to not be careful when it comes to relationships.

If that means being alone, we're fine with it, we also know..sooner or later our match will come along..then we pounce.we have two claws and stinger we won't miss.

This old woman who practised astrology once told my friend's mom that there are two types of Scorpio: red and black.
Red scorpions are active, they pursue, they're the ones who pull things in.
Black scorpions are passive, they hide, they're the ones who push things away.

Both are in defense of themselves. Think actively finding answers and locating threats compared to being tough to and, at the same time, sensitive to them. Red Scorpios plot/do while Black Scorpios remember/remove themselves, active vs. passive.
