I'm not just being typical Pisces here. I had not felt this excited about someone in years...(nor had I ever visioned a future with someone until I met him).We maybe dated on the weekends for a month in a half (not long I know). But in that time we got close. He introduced me to his entire family, he ordered Chinese take out on the beach, surprised me with gifts (as I tried to do the same) and places he knew I'd like. And he'd bring up future plans of us together. All signs he was interested (you would think, right?). It was also obvious (by watching his interactions with his family) that he was a responsible dependable person that took his work and future and commitment seriously(as we had also discussed). Well the last time i saw him (three weeks ago or more?) he was really stressed out over money issues, and his GPA. He casually mentioned he'd be busy with school, and doing favors for his brother in law. We hugged goodbye. I week or so after that we chatted online he told me to call him the next day. Another casual conversation about how school was going and his camping plans)..he said he call the next day. I hadn't heard from him. I gave it a few days called, a few days wrote him, heard nothing, gave it a few days wrote him, heard nothing. so i decided to try one last e-mail asking if he no longer interested in continuing anything..that i'd just like to hear from him one way or another, and that i'd understand if he didn't. That it was nice getting to know him. I can tell when he has read these messages, and still nothing. Any clue why he would be ignoring them? Is there nothing more for me to do? My sun in pisces his sun on libra/scorpio cusp(OCT 25) my moon in scorpio his moon in pisces My rising in scorpio his in saggitarius my venus in taurus his venus in libra my mars in capricorn his mars in virgo my mercury in Aquarius his in scorpio THANK YOU for any help you can provide!

Hmm, I'd have to say something is very wrong, like something in his personal life he is dealing with or he is backing off big time. He maybe backing off though because he is scared of getting so close. He may also be backing off because he's a jerk, but the former makes more sense since he's already talked about a future with you. My advice, give him a bit of space, but if he doesn't come around on his own in a couple of weeks, tell him you're done. He'll either not respond (if he doesn't he's not worth your time) or he'll chase (he doesn't want to lose you). Its sucks, I know, I really, really know, but give it a bit of time and then make your move. IP: Logged |

well when i noticed he wasn't getting back to me, I maybe tried once a week for the next 2-3 weeks. I regret that I didn't give him more space..and worry I pushed him away ..especially by sending that last message.It too bad I didn't join lindaland sooner, and take your advice! but that was my last e-mail. Although (sadly) I do hope he contacts me. It just sucks not knowing. Is it like a scorpio to not give you any sort of indication that it's over? IP: Logged |

edited* oops, I did not notice first you dated about a month only, well I dont know, it is up to you of course but I think had he truly cared for you he would not have left you hanging in the air, it's cruel of him, he would at least have told you that he needed space. It's been three weeks, a bit too long, I would move on.IP: Logged |

I'm a Scorpio male and this sounds exactly like my recent short-lived relationship with a Pisces woman. Except in our case, it was she who was always working, or simply away, and not communicating. Maybe she was seeing other guys, I don't know. Toward the end she made me feel like every request to see her was interfering with her life. From what I could gather, she broke up with me largely because the time she spent with me was getting in the way of her greater goals.IP: Logged |

No self respecting Scorpio (man or woman) would deny you closure in such a cruel manner, unless there's something very wrong in their life (are you sure, sure, sure he read your emails as opposed to someone else reading his e-mail?) I will say, though, the Pisces moon (in my opinion) adds some element of fear and anxiety to the typical Scorpio so that might be it - he freaked himself out and is now hiding. Anyway, you've done way more than enough. Sit tight, do not chase, do not call or e-mail. Move on with your life. If he's meant to, he will reappear with some fantabulous story and you'll have your choice of whether to take him back or not.IP: Logged |

I have to second what Crabby is saying, but I can truly only speak for myself. I need the closure probably more than the other person and I HATE when someone just wanders off and doesn't say anything. If I'm making the separation, I want it clean cut. I don't cut people out unless it is over, and over for good. The only exception to this is when I've been friends with someone (not romantically involved) and they have let me down in someone way, though, not necessarily a betrayal. If it is a bad enough, I just let them slip to the back burner. I care too much about them to hurt them by cutting them out for good, but I can't really depend on them so I let the friendship go. That is probably more my Libra rising than my Scorpio Sun, but... For whatever comfort it brings, this guy is doing one of two things, being a jerk, or being a scaredy cat. If he doesn't come back, let him go for good. We'll find you a nice Cancer man. IP: Logged |

Just Mia- It's always interesting to hear about two people have the same birthday. But I've seen him drink, and he is responsible about it - has never gotten out of hand.Sorpionic web- Your case is very interesting. I think the guy I was with may have felt the same was as your pisces women, except he didn't really push or make it clear to me. But, I know he takes those goals very seriously and that might be the case. However, I do find it hard to imagine a Piscian women giving up a chance at love for a career. (she must've had some powerful earth and fire in her chart!) Crabbypatty- That's what I believed about scorpio's. I know he's worried about school, and his income (he got laid off recently). Similar to myspace the site I'm using tells you when someone read or has deleted your messages. Unless the website is experiences some fluke, although what are the chances? I did consider his pisces moon ...but you would think with his scorpio also in mercury-he'd say something. But I will take your advice and not make any more moves, and I am trying to move on-but you probably know how hard that can be sometimes. I guess I have to let time take control. asphodelelysium- I agree with what you have said. I think it's fair to both people if you say what needs to be said in those situations to move on. And there has been times when I have abruptly stopped talking to friends because I still cared but couldn't condone their lifestyle (i.e. drug use) ..lol, but no thanks. I've been with two cancer men. The first one was the only time I had been in love, and the only time I've felt heartbreak. The second was just awful. IP: Logged |

"so i decided to try one last e-mail asking if he no longer interested in continuing anything..that i'd just like to hear from him one way or another, and that i'd understand if he didn't. That it was nice getting to know him."He could be testing you. Seeing if you give up on hinm easily. I don't know what you've said to him or what he has said to you about your relationship, so it's hard for me to know exactly what he is doing. Scorpio men do go after what they want, however. So it really depends on what he wants. You've met his family, he's talked about the future with you, etc. Yet, he's unavailable for three weeks and counting. Your last message to him is very clear. If he does get in touch with you, I would be quiet and listen to what he has to say as to why he could not respond to your messages to him. Unless he lost all forms of communication, I would politely let him know that ignoring me for three weeks is inconsiderate and unnecessary and not something I would have expected from him (based on the relationship level). He's got to know that you will not put up with that sort of thing -- again based on the relationship level. Since it doesn't sound to me that you consider yourself in something "platonic" with this guy, you need to lay some ground "rules" on what will work for you and what won't, and vice versa. I definitely would not contact him again until I heard from him. IP: Logged |

At the moment, he's just not that into you. Don't contact him again. That doesn't mean he doesn't like you, and in fact he may have very intense feelings for you, but he has definitely put you on the back burner for whatever reason and once he has made up his mind to do this, as a Scorpio, there will be no changing his mind. I'm sorry. I know that's confusing and painful. (((hugs)))

It makes me so mad when people are like this, but let's face it, sometimes mutable-influenced people (that Pisces Moon) like to "drift" rather than just have a gentle conversation ending a new relationship.HE might not even know what he wants or what he's thinking...the one thing YOU can tell though, is that he does not want to be in touch with you, or he would be. This kind of thing frustrates me a lot. IP: Logged |

I know lucia23 I right if he wanted to contact me he would. Instead I found out he deleted his account all together. So perhaps it's just too soon for him to start dating? I can't help but think that maybe it was a test like Letsdance was saying, i gave up on him to easily, and now I've failed. This hurts-what is it a nonchalant way of saying he doesn't want to talk to me (Why wait a week since I wrote him that message)? To me it says we're never going to talk again...and there was no closure in the first place. Yeah he still has my number and e-mail address...but no one will call you out of the blue after so long. it's so unbelievable to me I'm so tempted to call him, but I know I can't. IP: Logged |

I mean, if it were me, I would call him and ask for closure--see SparklingSag's inspiring thead in the Astrology 2.0 forum: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum24/HTML/201503-2.html Instead of accepting his lame, drifty, not-a-real-explanation excuses about his dissertation or his busyness or whatever, she pinned him down and got a real answer that he did not want to be involved. I like Gypsee's thread, too: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum10/HTML/003613.html I mean, if a platonic friend completely cut us out and ignored all our attempts at contact, we would get in touch and ask, "What the hell is going on?" I think maybe you should call him and ask for closure. IP: Logged |

wow, I'm really sorry eyeslikepisces. to me, it sounds like he may be a manipulative jerk who used you to get what he wanted (most likely sex) and then simply disappeared. I have known men to tell you whatever you wanted to hear.... that they love you, that they want a future with you, ect... and then just disappear. It could be that he is a player, or that he is a 'Romeo' type... falling quickly in love, and just as quickly falling out of love. Or he may have intimacy issues. Who knows, but it seems like, to me, that he is slowly making his way out of your life. Alot of men can be non-confrontational when it comes to breaking up with a woman.I would let it go. I agree with what starofvenusgirl said; it seems that 'He's just not that into you'. Don't call him, if he wishes to make contact, he will. But at the moment, it seems unlikely. Best wishes.

Well, my Pisces woman came back to me. She now says she's in love with me.So, EyesLikePisces, who knows? Life is a rollercoaster. He may come back one day, and you being a Pisces, maybe you can forgive his haste for leaving. IP: Logged |

"...she broke up with me largely because the time she spent with me was getting in the way of her greater goals..."you need to read between the lines, sw. she loves you and knows what it takes to make you happy, and she can't help but to want to give you everything. she sounds very wise, but very giving. i really hope you understand that -- since she has come back to you.
