I'm a newbie, and this is my first posting. In a new relationship with a Virgo Man (DOB Sep 14) and my DOB is Sep 17. I don't have other information and am not a huge follower of astrology. I have, however, figured out that when we were born has LOTS to do with our personalities.

So, met this guy Jan 10. He works out of town and drove out of his way TWICE to see me, when I was at the beach. Very polite and witty, although he seems to have a short fuse!

We texted/called several times after meeting, although not every day, and he surprised me on Feb 4 by telling me that he's fallen for me and said "I love you" first on the phone, before we hung up. I thought Virgos move slowly? Needless to say, I was a bit surprised. I reciprocated, because I knew I was falling for him, too.

We've only seen each other a few times--I live in another state, but we have both been faithful and are in an exclusive relationship. He refers to us as "us" and hints about a future together. When I asked if he saw ours as a long-term relationship, he responded with "I wouldn't say long term; I'd say forever term."

Fast forward to the past week. His actions haven't been matching his words, and I sent a long email letting him know how I felt. It was probably overly sentimental and mushy, but I was honest and showed him how much I respect and appreciate the work he does and his amazing work ethic. He called me to let me know that "this has to stop", because he feels I'm paranoid about everything when I ask him stuff--I'm inquisitive by nature; I'm a Virgo. I explained to him that I just wanted to let him know MY feelings and that nothing in the email was placing blame on him.

He responded two days ago with "this is the kind of thing that irks me. When I'm irked, I can walk away and never look back." I let him know that I didn't want him to walk away. He had to get off the phone but called back a few minutes later and was telling me about new songs he had downloaded and singing on the phone, until he had to go again.

99% of the time, he says "I love you" before we hang up the phone. It's not "love ya" or "love ya, bye"--it's always the whole phrase. Since he was miffed at me, I decided to say "I love you" first--it's not that I wouldn't other times, it's just that he says it first. He responded positively.

Long story to ask this: Does it sound like this is my last chance? I don't want to change who I am for him, and I'm also curious if he's trying to get close to me. When a Virgo man says "I love you", does it mean that they're smitten, hopelessly in love, or just hinting that they want to start building a relationship?
