A Nigerian mother has sparked mixed reactions online after sharing an unusual dating tip for her daughter about how to test a new boyfriend.
In a viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the woman suggested that women should wait two months after meeting a new partner before celebrating their birthday, regardless of their actual birth date.
According to her, the idea is to see how the man behaves and what effort he is willing to make early in the relationship.
Speaking in the video, she said:
“When you get a new boyfriend, your birthday will be two months after you meet him, no matter what time of the year you met him. That way you’ll see what he’s capable of doing.”
She explained that the “two-month rule” can help a woman observe whether her partner is thoughtful, generous, and willing to celebrate important moments in the relationship.
According to the mother, celebrating a birthday two months into the relationship acts as a subtle test of a man’s intentions, allowing the woman to judge his level of commitment and effort.
The video quickly gained attention online, with many users sharing humorous reactions. Some people described the advice as clever and strategic, while others joked that modern dating has become increasingly complicated.
One user wrote, “Ah! That’s one way to test him 😂.”
Another commented, “I might try this… see if he’s serious or not.”
Whether people see it as practical or simply playful, the suggestion has sparked a broader conversation about how some women evaluate a partner’s seriousness early in a relationship.
