Number 6 is true, and 7 should have been named 6 (b), and the first rule should be, geminis are always right. 6 (c) should read, when in doubt refer to 1.

LOL buah hahahahaa

I'm always right, you know. Once I thought I was wrong, but it turned out I was right, so I guess I *was* wrong once...oh well, no one is perfect...

I have a coffee mug from my DH, for geminis and it says: "People born under Gemini are very open. They tend to be involved in many different activities, especially if these are contradictory in nature. They are interested in practically everything. They easily can talk for hours about even the most boring subjects."

(Nackie scratches her head) Hey...was that meant to be rude??!!

Yes, I agree totally with what you're saying. I think a cool thread would be to ask Gems about dating Gems! I've done it once, which was enough, but the situation was very chaotic.

To add on from your "humility" I also think the short-hand word for us (Gem) is a very accurate desciption - forming a pun that also shows our dual nature. Pretty cool huh? I love playing with words. I recently realised that "Religions" contains no lies and no sins which I think is very true! They serve purposes and should all be accepted, even though they claim differences. I had another one recently that I wanted to share, but I've forgotten it for now.

ROTFL means rolling on the floor laughing and most of those short cuts are versions thereof. LOL means laugh out loud ROFL is the same as mine etc

IMHO means "in my humble opion", which in my case isn't usually so humble, to which I wrote IMO lol

HTH means Hope that Helps

Also, about us not minding if a lot of time has passed between calling or writing, I'm the same way and experienced the same thing, particularly with other Geminis.

My Gem guy called on Friday, 5 times, unfortunately I was on a bad cell phone reception area and everytime I tried picking up the phone it hang up. He did leave a message asking me to call him, saying that he was going to be up until late and that he couldn't not wait to talk to me about my trip, and that he had been away on a business trip thus he had not been able to call me. I tried calling, but for some reason the call would not go through, I called him yesterday as soon as I got home, and left him a message explaining what happened. Hopefully I'll talk to him today, what sucks about this is that probably he wanted to make plans for the weekend and I was out of town.

I'll let you know what happens if we indeed end up talking. I really like the not calling issue, I am like that with my best friend, we talk often but we do not expect it and if we don't get to talk for a week or so, once we do, we start right where we left of, she is a Scorpio, love her to death.

I hate that the most, ahhhh I get so angry just thinking about it! Recently I wrote this little "poem":

Please don't analyze me.
I don't like it when you think you've got me summed up
And boxed into a neat little category
Nobody can describe me in 15 words or less
Don't say "I've got you all figured out. You're like this, see..."
Because before the end of that sentence I will have already changed

That was inspired by two people. The first was a Libra with Scorpio moon who barely knew me but seemed to be under the delusion that he knew exactly what kind of person I was. He would even try to pick out my clothes for me when we went shopping, and they were always clothes I didn't feel were "me", and he didn't like what I picked out for myself. He would always say things like "Oh, that's why you are... the way you are" and "I know how you get, I've seen you upset..." (he hasn't) and "I know you". It was ridiculous because he didn't really know me at all, and it made me feel defensive, which made me close up even more. He would also insinuate that I'm crazy, and would make it sound like it was funny, but it made me feel bad, and I just got bad vibes from him in general.

The second guy, a Leo, thought he had me summed up the day he met me. I was having a bad day and wanted to go home, but was stuck at a social function for hours. He said I was a calm, quiet person, and that that was scary, and that I take things too seriously. And that I must not get out much. When I was really feeling miserable and trying to maintain a cool image instead of breaking down in tears like I wanted to. And to this day he seems to hold the same views about me.

I don't know if that's what you meant, but in general, I really hate having one side of me seen as representative of me entirely, because it's only one of many facets, and I'll probably be a different person a little while later.

>4. The part where everyone thinks we are >emotionally detached, is most often a ruse to >prevent us from getting hurt. the theory >being if your cannot see how we feel, then >you cannot use it against us.

Exactly!
I agree with everything you said, but this one meant the most to me. I've said this before in another thread, but I've spent a lot of energy trying to SEEM emotionally detached and kind of aloof for the very reasons you mentioned. We are very sensitive and sometimes that can be a threat. I'd rather not feel it, and I'd definitely rather not show it.

Tonight I am going to be at my relatives' place (very close to where he lives, usually we meet when I am down there), and I would love to see him but don't want to seem too eager, not sure what to do, should I call him and leave him a message telling him that I am going to be in the area and ask him if he wants to meet or should I just continue playing phone tag with him until both of us are able to talk to each other ?

Thank you for asking Randall, well, following Nackie's advice I called and left him a message, he called back as soon as he left the office and told me that he would love to see me and that he missed me, it felt really good to hear him say that.

We met and we talked, as usual, lots, laughed and had a great time. He said that he wanted to see more of me, I told him that I was fine with it, time flew, I was having so much fun. He kissed me good bye, and off I went.

He called about a half an hour later to make sure that I got home OK and told me that he would call me today. That is a very first, in the past we have said that we would talk later or some other time. I guess I just have to wait and see if he does call. But I had a great time with him last night, he was his usual talkative self, extremely affectionate more than ever. I guess it was good news.

Once again thank you for asking and Nackie, thank you for the endorsement to call him, I owe you, gosh I wouldn't have called if you wouldn't have said anything. My leo pride gets in the way sometimes.

When he told me that he would call, I kind of found it hard to believe because he had said quite a bit Tuesday night, more than I thouhgt he would, totally unexpected. And after reading all the different Geminis perspectives I told myself that he wasn't since he was going to need sometime to digest everything he said.

Well, he didn't call but I am totally fine with it, not sure why, but I am Ok, I guess all I have to do now is wait and see.

I figured I keep you posted and writing it also helps me get it off my chest.

He is a lot of fun and so into us when we are together I almost believe him when he says that he is interested in me. The actively pursue a relationship is kind of new to me, I tend to act on actions and not on words, thus the ocassional discouragement when he disappears on me.

I guess one more lesson for me to learn in my path through life. I will try to focus on how attentive he is when we are together and I will call him tomorrow if I don't hear from him today. I just don't want him to think I am too pushy.

Don't dispair, things happen for a reason.

I believe the way to a gems heart is through the head. Just be enthusiastic about him, be ready to do things at the drop of a hat, give him a day or two of space and no demands "why didn't you call me!!!!!" As soon as he picks up the phone and hears it is you, he's thinking "Oh, sh*t! I forgot to call, she's probably really mad, oh damn oh damn", add to that your question and he's depressed now so he's gonna be snappy. Just ignore the fact that he's forgetful and he'll be so grateful to you!

It sounds like you guys get along well. Gemini and Leo are the dream pair anyways! My mom is gemini and my dad leo: they are soulmates that can't event stand to spend a week apart (although NEITHER will admit it lolol!) Mom never shuts up and Dad just sits there quiet and loves her with a smile on his face and love in his eyes. Course when he's still sitting like that when she starts giving him sh*t, she realizes he hasn't been listening the whole time, but hey.......

LOL

I say, you guys sound like a good thing to me!

Is funny that you mention that Leo and Geminis is a dream pair, he mentioned that to me when he met me. He was so cute, about an hour into our first conversation, he asked me what sign I was and I told him Leo and he replied hmmm, we are compatible, no wonder the instant attraction, I laughed, I guess he is even aware of it.

I will listen to what you say I will call him perhaps tonight, it was Tuesday that we saw each other, I hope that is enough time. One thing I find interesting is that he needs constant reassurance, he is always asking me if I like him or if I am having a good time, I usually smile and tell him "Of course, you silly, I would have left otherwise", I think I like him a bit more than I was hoping to at this point, it is hard not to show too much affection when he is sooo very affectionate with me.

Not sure where all this is going, I just need to know from him if he thinks about me when I am not around and him not calling kind of discourages me a bit, I am not used to it at all, but I guess I will need to continue to wait and see, he is incredibly attentive when we are together, I'll focus on that.

He has mentioned that he rather see me than be with me on the phone and I agree with him, but unfortunately because of our busy schedules at work, the phone is the only thing we have. Even though he did say that we were on our way to something more defined it is kind of hard to match his words with the fact that he waits days to call.

But you are right, I will be patient and I will wait to see what happens. I will make sure to call him today, Fridays are usually great because he always wants to get together over the weekends. I hope that is the case this weekend, wish me luck !!
