I am shy, but I hide it well. When I am attracted to someone I choose not to hide it and go straight for the kill, if I feel that my feelings are deep and real.

I think this is due to my first house placements in Scorpio, Mars and Jupiter, and my Scorpio ASC. I am direct and obvious when it comes to love.

I remember in college, there was a tall, yummy basketballer I had my eye on. We were friends. He knew I had feelings for him because I used to give him those deep, penetrating stares and I used to pay a lot of attention to him. Then one day, I confessed my feelings to him, and it was not because I thought he liked me too, but it was because I knew I liked him sincerely.

I would invite him to my dinner parties, or go out clubbing with him and pay attention to him to make sure that he had a good time - by checking up on him regularly. I would also ask him for favors, help or information and 'act' as if I was incapable so that he could feel like a man helping a damsel in distress, which he enjoyed quite a bit. We also fought about trivial things, because it seemed like we would just pick fights with each other at odd times of the night, or during our classes where we would have text wars.

when I was young, I used to punch my crushes in kindergarten

So...

I made an error on the title of this topic and I can't edit it. It was meant to read:

I also think it's a Scorp/Cap combo.. and I think my Sag moon helps me to get over my feelings quickly.

If they show any signs of playfulness and that intense spark, backed up by a friendly manner, the game is on. If they don't, it's over. They don't even get to touch my arm even if they change their mind after that though.

Most of it is probably due to my Scorpio-sun and Libra-venus. I don't think my Cancer rising and Virgo mars plays a part in this. Maybe my Sagittarius-jupiter-mercury.

My Moon in Aries has a different story though-I have to admit I did go up to talk and flirt and whatnot to a few guys in the past just because I thought they were hot ! Cancer rising ? I don't think so.

I'm very contradictory when it comes to approaching my love interests, because on the one hand, I've got Venus in Virgo Rx, so I'm VERY shy, ESPECIALLY when I actually like someone. I'm constantly evaluating them, and I become very self-conscious.

However, on the other hand, I've got Mars in Leo, so it makes me showy and willing to put on a show for the one I'm interested in. I'm a huge flirt, especially with guys who aren't intimidating to me. In fact, I think I flirt more with guys who I really have absolutely no interest in (at least to begin with), because they don't bring out that shy side of me.

Since I've got the Moon in Aries, Jupiter/Uranus conjunct in Saggy, and Neptune in Saggy, I have a very very good sense of humor and fun. If I can't play fight or tease the guy I'm interested in, there's just no spark.

Because I have a Scorpio rising, I tend to come off as slightly mysterious and detached at first, which, while I'm checking someone out, is pretty accurate. I don't lay everything out on the table.

Also, because my Venus and Mars are in the 9th, I can often come off as very intellectually interested in the person at first. If they can't carry a conversation, I generally don't go for them.

My Venus and NN are conjunct in the 11th house of friends.

I have heard that there are people out there who endeavor to make their crushes jealous to get attention. What could be responsible for that?

Immaturity?

I know that I can't fall for you if there isn't a friendship. Maybe it means that I approach you in with the guise of friendship, when all I am trying to do is wiggle my way closer to your heart.

i read somewhere that the modern female of today tends to use her Mars to attract the male, which proves counter-productive most of the time because it clashes with his Mars. the article further said that we ladies should use our venus instead.

There is this cute working sidekick of a friend whom I enjoy conversations with and did at one time feel something for him - but I let it go. Kept him as a friend....
