I im actually wondering how to tell if a scorpio likes you. I think he likes me he calls me, he cuddles, he affectionate, he asks me advice etc... but then at times hes back to his cool and dettached demeanor. He doesnt like it when i ask him personal questions but he loves to interogate me. Hell open up to me, but only when i dont ask. I mean id have to be a fool not to think that he doesnt like me, but i get confused. DO scorpios like to test people? SOmetimes hell make certain comments that i think he only makes to fish a reaction from me. But i dont react. Im too defensive to tell him how i feel about him. I show his extreme affection but the words dont come out. Do you understand me?

I was with a scorpio for 4 years, and thats exactly the way he was when we first started dating to now, two years after we've been broken up.
So my opinion is that he wouldnt talk to you at all if he doesnt like you, and as long as you are very careful to notice what he is trying to extract from you(information wise) you should be fine. But he wouldnt even waste his time if he werent into you.
Scorpios are amazing people mainly because of their loyalty. Just dont mess with him cause he can make you pay in so many ways for betraying him in any way(even the appearance of betrayal is dangerous)
I dont know who wants to deal with a lifetime of interrogation from them though. I sure dont thats why I couldnt be with him. I am an aries. I have noticed that Aquarians and Scorpios date quite a lot and tend to work out, anyone else notice that?
Good luck!

Ah ~ well I am a Cancer too and my ex is a Scorpio. Let's see...the main generalizations that I can make are that male Scorpios LOVE to feel as though they are in control. They really enjoy the getting-to-know you part of the relationship and will try to ferret out every little bit of information that they can.

Now, this next part may not apply to all Scorpio men, but in my case it certainly did. My ex, knowing me so well would sometimes use that information against me if he got angry or felt hurt. He could be very revenge oriented when he was mad...and usually when he was mad it was because he felt like he had no control. So you see, it was a sort of vicious cycle in a way.

On the positive side (now that we have gotten the not-as-savoury items out of the way) he was the most affectionate man I have ever met, once he opened up. Scorpios take a long time to trust someone, but I think if you are always honest then it helps to speed up the process alot. He was the best cuddler I've ever known and the least judgemental boyfriend I have ever had.

Whether this applies equally to all male Scorpios, I cannot say, but I suspect that in a Scorpio/Cancer relationship, you will likely find that much of this holds true.

One last piece of advice that I have found from observing other Cancer/Scorp match-ups...the relationship seems to progress VERY quickly from what I have noticed. I would maybe suggest that you take your time about getting to know each other even though it might be awfully tempting to rush things. Every single Cancer/Scorp relationship I have ever known of was a victim to this, which is not to say all of them are, but it's a good thing to be aware of I think.

Hope some of this helped!

Love

Thanks you guys are fast! Okay so most of what you all said makes a lot of sense and i can relate to. Weve been dating since like mid January but somewhere in the beg of Feb we stopped talking for 1 month. I never called him cause i just dont. Like i said, i too afraid of looking stupid or needy. SO i let it go. ANyway he started coming around again and now we talk almost regularly.
Oh yeah that month that we didnt talk, well a few days before i somehow told him that i had told my best friend about an intimita night that we had together and he was pist! he told me not to be telling anyone his business. SO i figured he was mad and over me. Buit i guess not.
Anyway, im very open to talk abotu anything im extremely honestly and direct and i like it when he asks me questions..BUT the onyl thing i have a hard time talking about is my feelings.
I definetly dont think we are rushing this relationship because after almost 4 months..here we are. DOnt know what to call it. LOL. but thats okay i dont like rushing that usually doenst last too long.
let me tell you the day i met him we were ina group. He didnt say much or really stand out as the center of attention but i was Immediately drawn to him. I sensesed some Mystery aboout him. I gotta say, im very attarcted to the mysterious type. The way he strated at me gave me butterflies., it was freaking crazy, i looked away the first few times, but i finnaly got the balls to start back at him and he found himself being the one to look away. LOL.
anyway he the first time we hung out alone was at the beach. he told me there was something very suspicious about my look. I think thats what he liked. anyway here we are now. still friends still hanging..but i guess ill be patient. i think he see that im loyal and that im trust worthy we have mutual friends and he sees how interact and what im about. And youre right, if a guy doesnt want to be with you he wouldnt waste his time....or what if he just wants some booty? how can ypu tell the difference?

Hey Love,
how long after you were dating, did he finally tell you how he felt about you. and who said it first?
was it easy for you to tell wehter he really liked you or not in the beggining? thats the boat that im on. I over analyze everything so any tiny nuance can throw off any perception that i had a minute ago.

Well, I think that perhaps my relationship with my Scorp was a karmic one...still trying to figure it out. I knew he really liked me in the beginning but he would get close and then back off - it's that whole testing thing. I think it's partly a way for a Scorp to see how much you really care about him.

Being with a Scorpio is sort of like toeing the line between too much and not enough. For me it was a balancing act. I always talk about my feelings and I'm pretty blunt about things and Scorpios are definitely NOT at all. I just gave him time to trust me and see what happened.

On the other hand, I was very upfront about the pushing and pulling thing...I let him know that I appreciated that he wanted to take his time, but that I didn't like to feel manipulated with all the back and forth.

I don't think that after 4 months it's about booty. Beneath all the trust issues is usually (usually!) a guy who is very sensitive and super sweet and maybe just afraid. Most of the Scorps I have known will usually only sleep around when they are feeling like they need to detach from something. It's usually a distraction from what I can tell.

As for the "L" word, I let him say it first (I've learned my lessons the hard way lol) and maybe that helps Scorpios to feel like they know the score...?? No matter what I think I know, they're still Scorpios and full of mystery but that's one of the reason we love them, no? How old is your Scorpio?

I will say lastly as a bit of encouragement, that even though we're not together anymore, I have never loved any dude like I loved my Scorpio. And Sweet Moses, I'm going to be 30 in June so take that to the bank and cash it!

Hi saw this thread and thought maybe I could help a little.

I've been with a scorpio man for about 16 years. I'm a gemini. Yes they do have some control issues and becareful of that. My advice keep an air of mystery about yourself, they would like nothing better than to keep you in their little cocoon.

Fights can be downright nasty, they can use some hurtful words that you feel right down to your soul, but hours or a day or so after they've brooded long enough, you get to catch a glimpse of that soft emotional side that they try to hide so well, and before you know it they put themselves comfortably right back in your heart.

Scorpio men tend to get the reputation as great lovers, and yes I would have to agree, but if your the shy type, prude or inhibited, probably not the fellow for you.

From my experience they are intense not with just love or sex but with everything they do, that's why I find him captivating. I think I secretly wish I was more like that.

Well I hope my info helps. Good luck to you.

Thanks Love.
Well my scorpio is 23. i dont usually date guys my age, but...you know it happens.
Anyway ive heard before that scoprios are players but then i read that they are very loyal.
Im not sure if theres any other girl in the picture and i dont ask. It doesnt seem as there is, but who knows.
The funny thing is that although it takes them a while to open up abotu their personal life and trust, he brought me and introduced me to his whole family like the second time we hung out alone.
WEll of course he introduced me as his friend, but still i was surpised. His parents are really nice his mom seems close to him she was also very polite to me. So im thinking if he had a girl firend or a serious girl in his life he wouldnt be taking me with his family.
He also took me out of town with him to a family birthday party a few months later. But i dont see his family that often. He doesnt tell me how he feels about me...so thats why i get a little bit confused at times. I wonder if ill have to be the one to open up emotional first, or i might wait for him to do it...if ever hes ready.

Ill have to agree with you Pearl, I’ve actually had to toughen up a little since meeting him. Although, me being a Cancer i seem very tough and un-phase able on the outside, in the inside its a complete different story.
I noticed that he can be very blunt and say things that seem harsh and not sugar coated, but i like that in a way...i love complete truthfulness whether its good or bad, and although everyone says the same, i really do respect and blunt honest comment instead of a sugar coated response.
anyway, i can defiantly see how he likes to have control and my question to you is...do i let him think he has it or put up a fight. I have a very strong personality and i too am demanding and controlling by nature but i do it in a more subtle way...(Cancer) lol..he noticed though. Since i met him he would tease me about being demanding and having my way. I dunno though, I think he likes my aggressiveness Im definitely not prude I can be shy at times but im not shy with him. When you say to keep a mystery with him what exactly do you mean? I think I have a natural mystery about me being a water sign and all..plus I’ve been told on numerous occasions..lol. The only things is; I don’t like calling him I sually wait for him to call me 99% of the time. I guess ive experience that when I pay too much attention to a guy and call them all the time, they start blowing you off. And although I never call him out of the blue, he always calls me. Its funny that he seems so cool and calm and un emotional but I get him in the sac and he changes. I usually kiss him gently all over the face for a few minutes or just run my finder all thru his bone structure...i think hes like it he usually closes his eyes and smiles. Do Scoprios secretly like to be smothered like that? You just would never guess from the image they put out to the world.
Thanks a lot!!

Hi there well let me clarify a couple things you asked what I mean by keeping an air of mystery? It is for me leaving something to the imagination. My Scorpio partner has said many times that he just can't figure me out, and I think coming from from a Scorpio that could be taken as a compliment because usually he has people pegged the moment they walk throught the door, and 9 times out of ten he's right.

You are absolutely correct about not having things sugar coated my husband says it like it is, some people this offends some respect it, his friends are mostly the same friends from high school and were in our mid-thirties, people don't just drift in and out of his life unless of course he's been betrayed in some way then you might as well forget it, he's done, and there's really nothing you can do about it.

As far as the bedroom I would say yes they like to be smothered but then again I think they like just about anything lol. It's more than just sex to them it's like there is an all consuming depth there that after 16 years I still can't understand.

I believe my dear your in for a fascinating trip hang on and enjoy it. Good luck to you.

Coming from a SCorpio woman

Yeah we like just about everything, being smothered, smothering, deep deep meaningful sex with someone we adore and who adores us....

The only advice I can give is enjoy the rollercoaster ride, never bore him, be a little mysterious, and if you like short and frequent short trips to hell....

YOU WILL HAVE A BALL !!!!

Enjoy the experience....Pluto's children are like no other, we are just misunderstood at times.,..

Why is it that they say Scorpios can be so passionate, affectionate and emotional..but judging my scorpio from the outside..i would NEVER guess such a thing. Is that true for most Scorpios? He definetly has that Poker face thing going.
How long would you say it takes for them to really open up emotional or at least start expressing it.
Would you say most scorpios can be primiscious or are they usually very loyaL?
thanks guys

Yeah, another cancer going out with one. The only advice I have for you is to be yourself. They,like us cancers, can sense the fakeness.

Emotional69 m'dear,

As a scorpio sun just to let you know that it isn't nesessarily the case that scorpio's are promiscuous OR loyal. We are BOTH. This may sound odd, like it doesn't make sense, or isn't possible. It is.

When we are with someone we love and have committed to we are completely loyal. Utterly devoted, and expect the same back.

But when I was single with no commitment to anyone I was - in my younger days - rather promiscouous. I made no promises to anyone, I just had some fun.

So we scorpio's can be one extreme or the other. That's the key you see - extremes. All or nothing.

So what would you say are the key points to make it to a Scorpios heart? What do they look for in a potential "partner"...

He doesnt like me telling people anything about him or about what we do, which sometimes makes me feel like he doesnt care about me...im used to being very open about who im dating. Our close mutual friends know theres something going on, but we dont give them details and i dont think he even talks about us to them...which makes me wonder, cause dont guys like talking to their boys about the chicks their dating? He just seems too secretive.
Not that he hides me, but when it comes to talking about him, he tells me to watch what i say or tell people.
do you think its more or less because he's a scorpio and i hear they dont like anyone getting into their personal business or info...or maybe hes got something to hide?

We have mutual friends and one of his friends always tells me "dont listen to him, he always over does it, hes too paranoid" lol.

Im the type (and what woman isnt..lol) that i like to tell my friends every detail of my relationships, but after being with him, i noticed that i dont tell them anything anymore, i guess out of respect for his privacy.
ANd besides, ive learned that when you tell your friends too much about what goes on, they can turn around and use it against you. Which i experience first hand, so as ive gotten a bit more "mature" i realized that its better to not say too much.

Anyway I just dnt like feeling like one minute hes into me and the next..he's got me at a distance. IS this normal Scorpio behavior? Would any of you Scorpios out there say hes into me or not??? Thanks guys!

well.. you said it yourself.. you get burned when too many details are too close to home...
Maybe he has learned that lesson, and wants relationships to stay sacred, on the private level.. as some beautiful thing to share between you, not take the specialness away by broadcasting.. maybe that is all it is.. if he weren't into you, he wouldn't be with you.

No headgames. No trying to make him jealous. No lying ever! Yes, when single a Scorpio can be wild. But once in a comitted relationship, where they know they are loved and love back and KNOW they can truly trust you in all ways, they are very loyal mates.
But until there is an actual life bond between you two, he will keep an eye out for another, just in case. Not all Scorpios are sexually passionate to the "extremes" as is thought. Depends in my opinion on what decans and other factors. if you an stimuate his heart and mind and are on the same level as he is sexually, and are always honest with him and never lie or play headgames, there is a good chance for you too.
But he must KNOW beyond a shadow of doubt that he can truly trust you. Any roller coastings will be from you, not him. Unless he is immature or has prior emotional problems. If he has low self esteem he may act the sex fiend. If he is paranoid he may act friendly one moment and standoffish he next. I know many long long married Scorpio men. They seem in my experience to divorce less often than female Scorpios. Perhaps it is because they are less likely to get seriously involved until later in life, or not until they are absolutely sure.
The ones I personally know who have been married between 20 and 70 years are married to Cancerian women or Leo women. All the ones I know are also between the 1st. and 7th. of the months of their births, the Scorpio male and the Leo. Cancerian women.
And do not go blabbing your relationship with him to others. That is to him an invasion of his privacy and a cheapening of your relationship with him. If he wanted everyone to know the details of his love life, he would tell them or write his memoirs. Without respect for his privacy, you will lose him. How can he trust if you kiss and tell? And mysterious? Not intentionally keeping secrets fom him! That would be percieved as sneakiness and hiding some dark nasty secret from him. If he asks a question he expects an answer. If he was not interested he would not ask. You do not answer, then he could see that as you are not willing or interested in being with him. Or worse, you are being dishonest and hiding "something" from him. Yes, it is about extremes, in a relationship it is total comittment or nothing. You get what you give. If that sounds controlling, then he is not the fellow for you. It is often more about security, honesty and total trust, with respect and privacy maintained.
You are his, he is yours. Again, you get what you give.

Scorpio men are attracted to women for strange reasons and often we, ourselves, can't make sense of it, let alone verbalize it for the women who care to get involved. Your chances with him will probably be determined in the first minute of meeting each other. Its true we can read 4 out of 5 souls upon introduction, but its those souls that we can't analyze that spike our interest (hence our ceaseless intrigue with those unfathomable Pisces girls).

If a Scorpio man has feelings for you, then just keep on doing what you do. Scorpios fixate. If you unsuspectingly drop a seemingly mundane habit that the Scorpio has fallen in lust with, it might cause a cascading affect where he'll snap out of his idealism, begin to look at the relationship from a 3rd-person perspective, and possibly leave (hence our need for the Cancer girls who bring sensitivity with security).

Yes! Sensitivity, security, honesty, trust, loyalty, altruism and knowing that wonderful feeling of really being safe and warm and cozy and totally accepted for ourselves. That is to me what a Cancerian does for this Scorpio.
In my case however............
I am the Scorpio and my husband is the Cancerian.
He accepts and loves the total me. I have never met anyone else who wants to share so completely with me and I with him, our entire real selves! The communication we have exceeds anything I have ever experienced with anyone else ever.
