Hi Mary,

Well at first he seemed so more into a relationship...now he seems standoffish. He spoke of a gal who was peeved that he never called and said that the phone worked both ways. That gave me the okay to call him in my opinion. So I have and I get this vibe that he's not all gung ho, like he's changed his mind about friendhsip or a more intimate relationship. We knew each other 6 years ago (he claims I was his favorite bartender, we were both in college at the time) and became reaquainted through my niece (he was her English teacher). Small world. I had a huge crush on him but he always came in with his girlfriend. We both are into sports, literature, books, opera, theater--in that order. I know it sounds kooky, sports and opera? Go figure. I know his date of birth 10-19-1970 in Michigan but not the time and don't feel comfortable as yet to ask him.

I did mention to him that every time I find a guy who like sports as much as me that they eventually want something more i.e. an intimate relationship and when I finally succumb they no longer want to get together/hang out and watch or even discuss sports or do anything else together (sex included). It's like they got what they wanted and presto there out of there.

I thought maybe he would want to move slowly since he was divorced last year and I didn't want him to feel pressured into a relationship. Plus I wanted and needed a friend first before a lover. What kind of advice can you offer? i've never dated a Libran man and this one is too good to let get away with my poor relationship skills.

Well he does sound kind of like my Libra in that he doesn't sound "ecstatic" about a relationship... Mine was, he just didn't show it.. I don't know if your Libra is the same but mine would say, " yea, we can go out , where do you want to go? Well you choose..." And if I didn't choose we wouldn't go any where... The best I can tell you is if he does want to leave his "Hearth", (most Libra's don't want to)
and tells you to choose...

Choose, don't expect him to make the first move either....

I don't think it is that he is not interested, I think he just doesn't know what to say, yet... When he gets to know you "for you" he will open up a little at a time.

The "favorite batender" thing, that
is flirting,
So that leads me to believe he is interested! My Libra(huband 7 years) still flirts with me

Don't push the Astrology unless you know for sure that he is open minded, my Libra called it crystal gazing ---.
He will listen to some of it but he firmly believes that he should not KNOW.

What was his reaction to your statement about the other guys? "after they get what they want"

If you truely want a friend I think you have found the right guy!! My libra is my best friend...and I don't have many.

Kiki and Mary....my Libra is my best friend and absolute confidante. It also takes a "crowbar" to pry him out of his hearth. I am a go getter type gal.....I love to dance, party, travel, etc....and it takes an act of congress to get my Libra to step out of his boundaries. Getting him to take a pleasure trip to the Caribbean was a major project!!!

La-Tee-Da, I know what you mean.

I am Aquarius and my hubby is Libra...

We are supposed to go to a school function and at the last min. he will back out
"won't leave Hearth" It takes an awful lot of convincing ... But when he wants to go somewhere .... you better not lag behind!

Thanks so much for all the replies... Since he has not returned my phone calls (3 since Wednesday) and we had previously arranged to get together on his birthday (Sat 10-19) I get two thoughts...1. he no longer wants to pursue the relationship with me or 2.he made other plans and doesn't know how to tell me. IMHO that's plain you know what. BTW I only realized yesterday that his birthday falls on the most obnoxious of all 'Hallmark Holidays'-
Sweetest Day! The sick thing is I bought his song and dance about being a gentleman and not "knowing how to be a p----- to women" spiel. That's my Aries gullibility for you. Too trusting and and wanting to believe everybody has a good heart like me. I'm so sick of feeling like this. Now how do I tell my niece (who thinks the world of this man) that he is like every other man with pants? I really wish I could go off here but foul language would only show my ignorance. I'm not a game player as with most all Aries I tell it like it is. But with this one why bother?

Well I received the brush off this morning...
He called and said "as a friend I need to apologize to you for two things...first for not calling you back. I've been in a funk lately, not doing what I usually like to do, you know watch sports, go to BW's and drink a few beers, go out with friends, etc. Second, I know we had made plans about getting together today (his birthday) but I've been spending more time with a woman that I've known for a couple months and she asked me to keep the afternoon and evening open so that we could do something. And since I have feelings for her and feel obligated to pursue this relationship, I'm going to spend the day with her. She said she didn't know what we are doing but she told me to wait for her call and she'll tell me what to wear and where we are going and we may go to a game."
This is bunk. Two weeks ago when I asked what he was doing for his birthday he said he hadn't made plans but was not one to make a big to do about his birthday. In fact his ideal birthday would be to watch some football and have a few beers. Now he's going to let her "surprise" him with something for his birthday? Tell me this: what woman in her right mind when she is seeing a man and his birthday is coming up does not not PLAN something? And at the last minute she'll tell him what to wear? Additionally, I am positive there are NO games locally that he could possibly attend with her. Illogical too in that first he says they don't know what they are going to do and then says they may be going to game?

About a month ago he told about a woman that he was interested in but never called but sent a card to her to tell her it wasn't her it was him. Too many times he's said to me that he is not ready and doesn't have time for a full blown relationship.

Is this man scared or what? We started this "relationship" as friends but the way he spoke to me it was like he was breaking up with me-his tone of voice, no questions to me about what was going on in my life the last couple days, etc.

From what I've read about Libras, this is typical if not by the "book" for their behavior. Well I'm not the type to wallow and wait around but I wanted to share this experience to get it off my chest and gain some insight from others.

The one thing that works with Libra men, ( I find) is looking so beautiful they only want to sit and look at you all night, and being quiet and gentle and romantic!
Good luck!!

(love the Libra men!)

hope this message isn't too late.......

Libras are quiet and they like the quiet type, some unevolved libras like sweet submissive partners who look good, and keep their mouths shut, as in not ask too many questions, do what's best for right now. A lot of unevolved libra men like partners who are beautiful, shallow, independent financially, and very social, as in fake.

I mean that's the unevolved libra. The higher libra cares about social injustice, children, pets, the right kind of relationship and is very communicative.

I have known Libra brothers, where one is the unevolved type, married to a woman for her money who is beautiful, and social and waits on him hand and foot while he ogles other women in front of her. And the other is sweet and caring and fights for the underdog at work. He is involved with a co-worker and they have been together 10 years. He never looks at anyone else.

So Libras are not all the same, but they do have a Hearth thing I agree, the one woman with the magic fingers, for cooking and massage will get the man. So if the other woman was there with the right touch, say a Cancer, then you are out. It's not that big of a deal unless you put yourself out. Now you know not to put yourself out for anyone else emotionally just because they show some emotion because it could be fake.

Emotions in men are fine but if a man starts to whine about his life early on in the relationship then when does it ever stop? Whining and saying poor me is not an emotion. Beware of that. Beware of super protective men, and men who have very little money of their own.

Aries suns are very sweet and I agree walked on a lot. It's my theory that we will all end up with Aries Suns in the end and have to pay penance. I know I will end up with an Aries or Leo husband one day, and then I will have to apologize.

You sound like a lovely person I hope that you find someone evolved soon.

Take Care,

Yikes!

This guy may be jet-setting right now... Libra's go through that phase now and again, usually when it's no longer time to weigh out what decision to make. When it's time for action, it's jet-set time.

Not sure you will be able to keep up, unless he has a lot of water or earth to make him sentimental, and in that case it would seem strange he could be so "cool" towards you.

As a Libra girl, one of the most annoying things to me (and I'm not saying it's him, but could be something to consider), is when I've moved on and someone is like calling and calling and wanting to know why and what did they do wrong. I don't know why, it's just, maybe it's like a "cruel to be kind" thing. I don't like to get into after-the-fact mushy conversations which will get no one anywhere emotionally.

It may seem a bit cowardly, but it's likely due to having already invested so much time and emotion in coming to the decision.

As an air sign we are able to conceptualize a situation, because so much mental weighing goes into everything. So he may not even be thinking of your feelings, not because he doesn't care about you (he probably really wants the very best for you), but because he has an intellectual vision of the dynamics at play. He may have concluded that no matter what, it won't work out.

Like I said, if all this is true, then he's probably in jet-set phase right now. Did he ever give the impression that he's looking to settle down with one person right now?

with love & support,

Hey Uriel well perceived I would have to agree with that being a Libran myself.... Maybe it's because at Libran stage of evolution we are at the lesser stage of becoming scorpio so as like in the tarot when a card is reversed the qualities we are shaping are either less of, or learning to know (growing) from negative to positive.
Makes total sense, I've always felt this about myself but you've just put it into words.... Librans are learning the balance of commitment before they can experience the true intimate levels of Scorpio.
So those Librans guys who act weird when commiting or fallin inlove are really just mentally in shock because of the feelings they experience which knock them off balance which is their true 'hearth' anywhere or anyone who can help them to remain true to their heart-h is keeping them in balance and thats where they'll stay.

Yeah, as Libra girl, I have 3 Scorpio planets in my chart. So I might even seem more like Scorp. When people try to guess my sign they ALWAYS say Scorpio first, (no Scorp Asc) which delights me because Scorpio's reputation preceeds them. A lot of people are actually afraid of Scorpio. (The sting). Then they get to know me and find a smart silly girl who is humble and can be self-deprecating.

But yeah, along the lines of what Quinnie was saying, you know about how each sign is an evolution from the sign before. Aries is the original primal urge. They need more stability, so comes Taurus. Aries and Taurus are still too miopic and selfish, so you get Gemini who begins to express and reach out.

Once you've gathered these 3 together, you need to bring in more emotion and mothering, Cancer. Etc...

In mythology, and in early astrology, there was no Libra. It when from Virgo to Scorpio. No wonder rape was rampade and went unpunished. You went from madonna to wh**e . No wonder marriage was so highly marketed.

Then came Libra, the go-between for the Virgin and the lusty Scorpion. Libra is the FIRST sign in the evolution which deals with partnerships! And as someone else said, it is also the ONLY sign represented by an object as opposed to a human or animal.

This would account for Libra's objectivity, very much needed in order to fairly weigh things out. The scales.

When I learned about this many many years ago, I would always be drawn to Scorpio's to understand "where they were at". No matter how much a Libra will want to emulate a Scorpio, even if they have a lot of that in their chart, they will ALWAYS fall short. No one occupies the house of Scorpio except Scorpio!! The key to understanding them is "calm waters run deep".

well i couldnt really elaborate other than to say i've known a few librans
and have noticed that tendency so i thought i should communicate it.i consider astrology to be a science based on a vast collection of empirical observation.
that is to me the powerful beauty of astrology as a counterbalance to
formal logical sciences.instead of dictating a rigid set of premises(presuppositions) and then locking oneself away in an ivory tower
in order to overlay one set of extrapolation upon another then another,
astrology has,for thousands of years, quietly and patiently allowed nature
to unfold its pattern of cycles before our eyes,giving to each generation
more and more details of the holistic picture in a way that lets us be more and more certain in what direction the truth is, and also giving us a powerful tool
that helps us to follow the ancient maxim "know thyself"

I know... I've said here before that I think of it as a form of language used to interpret interpersonal human relations. Psychology uses another language, religion, etc. Everything is relative, therefore, one cannot live without the other. Even if you deny one of them, on some level you are still admitting it exsits in the first place.

And believe it or not, there IS a huge amount of creativity in the hard sciences. It takes great imagination to come up with some hypothesis, and a great deal of imagination to invent the impossible. I gravitate towards scientists who have drawn upon the knowledge of other interpersonal arts. It helps them trust their intuition better.

I think that would be the history of all the "great ones".

Don't know if you believe in sacred geometry, and such...

I can relate to most all I read on this boaRrd, but truly accept the complication of Libra relationships via mine.
We looked at one another for over a year before we actually met and started to get to know one another. Once we did, we have been insperable. The lulls occur due to circumstances which he(Libra)finds dramatic because they involve my controlling, self centered mother. These boards have served me well in that I do not overinterpret things. My Libra is very attentive and considerate and when he goes into his "alone" time, I recognize it and leave him alone. When I sense it is right and reenter his world, he is grateful and happy. I have been forced to move 30 miles away and initially was very sad and disappointed that he did not agree to or express desire for me to stay with him, but, have come to realize that when I need haven fo r3-4 days, he is amicable and agreeable---missing me more when I am gone. We have gone from when are you leaving and I am thinking about your welfare and you coming back to currently discussing relocating together. Had I gone off on the exact words previously, I probably would have never seen the current situation. Ex of attentiveness : I was cold yesterday and he left me at my doctor appointment and returned with coffee (to warm me and my hands when I hold it). This has gone from "I'm not looking for a girlfriend. I like being alone. etc" to now planning to move and live together. I just returned to my current residence yesterday after 4 days with him and he misses me and calls and despite the issues due to his very small home, he still says he misses me and calls a lot. I call him also and he likes the attention. At first he felt middled and it has been my attitude and assertion of independence which has alleviated that becauw he felt obligated at first to "mend" the situation between my mother and I---I not only told him it was not his obligation and he is not in the middle-there us no drama
I acted accordingly and he witnessed my handling it without his help or any insert of him into the equation. My experience has shown me that this Libra was pacified when shown he did not have to be involved in a situation which he was not part of.
He sqays wonderful and heartwarming things to me and always puts an arm around me, steals a kiss and touches. I do miss him terribly when we are apart.
