If you've found yourself struggling to tell whether your current partner really is "The One", then just know that you're not alone and there is a way to determine once and for all whether you and your partner are endgame.

It's true! At least, according to one particular dating expert. Jana Hocking has shared with us all a two-second test to help you figure out whether you should marry your boyfriend or girlfriend.

In a piece for News.com.au, Hocking explained that there's a "firm yes" or "hard no" when it comes to marrying a particular person.

She wrote: "I usually do it after quite a few dates, say three months down the track. I take a good look at the bloke and then imagine myself at the start of the wedding aisle.

"I think to myself, 'If I arrived at the aisle and looked down to see them waiting for me at the other end, would I light up and be genuinely excited to see them? Would I think to myself ‘How the heck did I get so lucky to marry them?"

She added: "Or would I just think, ‘OK cool, they seem like a good person, and I reckon I could have a decent life with them, so let’s do this.’"

The dating guru - who hosts the Kinda Sorta Dating podcast - said that if you choose the first option, you're in it for the long run and should stay with your better half.

But if you're swaying towards the second option, it's probably best to call it a day where your relationship's concerned.

Hocking added: "The second option doesn’t offer an extraordinary love, it offers a safe love."

She also spoke about some of the red flags you should keep an eye out for on dating apps.

One such red flag could potentially be deleting their profile too soon after meeting you as it could indicate borderline "stalker" behavior.

Also, if they're constantly posting pics of their torso or from a distance - it's probably best to steer clear. The former indicates excessive vanity and the latter that they are trying to conceal their identity.

What do you think of Hocking's advice? Does it guarantee true love or it is a guaranteed heartbreaker?
