I broke up with my boyfriend on April 30th. Though I love him, it wasn't working out and we argued more than we got along.I've been talking to a Virgo. Not sure what to think about it. He was talking to me a lot at first, but not so much currently. We were hanging out Wednesday because I was helping him with an essay. When I was going to leave for class, he asked me to stay with him, so I did. We spent four hours together that day. I feel like he's still interested, but Idk. Haven't really heard much from him. Possible he lost interest already? Is it normal for Virgos to play hot and cold? Should I just ignore him? IP: Logged |

I think it's normal. Virgos kinda need their space. Maybe he's analyzing you? Don't completly ignore him though but don't always txt or call him either. Check in with him every once in awhile but for the most part let him come to you. And DON'T play games!IP: Logged |

He texted me back this afternoon. I'm supposed to see him tomorrow in class.No, I don't play games with guys. If I'm interested, I won't hold back. I think I have a tendency to get obsessed, so what I've been doing lately is just like texting him twice then just pretending he doesn't exist. If he comes back via texting me back or something else first, then he exists again. In the meanwhile, my brain goes into overload x__x. I noticed that two Virgos that were interested in me offered me jobs directly working with them. Is that a common Virgo response? IP: Logged |

With the job thing i've had something similar happen with a virgo too. I think they want to be able to keep their eyes on you and know where you are and what you are doing lol. It's like they want to keep you close byIP: Logged |

I know that makes sense with one Virgo guy that asked me. I felt like he was trying to create a logical reason to justify seeking more time with me. The other one, I was a bit shocked about, but his explanation made sense to me. However, it just felt kind of too coincidental lol. IP: Logged |

I didn't take it offensively. My ex was playing too many games with me, so I can understand how frustrating that can be. I'm the type of person that tends to be serious. I would appreciate a guy that also can be serious and goal oriented. I would definitely appreciate a guy whose natural tendencies are like that, so more of my idealistic nature can peek out @__@.

You broke up with your boyfriend on 30th april, and are already ready for a new relationship (or affair)? I wish I could be more like that. *sighs* Just closing one chapter and moving on without looking back. That would be so nice for a change. sorry I know that is sort of not the topic.

The thing about me is that I saw the relation was in the dumps for a while(we were abusive towards each other mentally and emotionally). I kept literally begging my ex to not treat me so poorly because I could feel myself start to pull away mentally and emotionally. It took me about four months to finally walk away.Before this, it took two years to leave a previous relationship. My relationship goal is to find an equal partner to settle down with. Neither partner wanted to settle down, though they claimed they wanted to put down roots with me. When it becomes clear that they are not interested in what my bottom line is through action, not words, then I have to acknowledge their actions. I usually try to do the best I can to save it. If it looks hopeless, I start clearing everything up and prepare to walk away. I don't leave a relationship unless I'm 100% sure in my own mind that it cannot be salvaged as is, like usually, the partner has to do an action that is like a final slap in the face. By the time I walk away, it's because I've exhausted the options in my mind on trying to solve the problem. I'm not sure if there's something in my chart that explains this.

Don't do it!!! Don't do it child. You just got out of a relationship that didn't work- you may be feeling vulnerable right now and looking for someone to give you that boost of confidence i.e romance you, give you attention and generally make you feel the way that you were supposed to feel with your ex.Why not take time out and chill? If this Virgo man that you just met is showing interest, why not take the time to get to know him first? As a friend? Do you really think that you are ready to jump right into another relationship? I mean, its only been 1 day that you two spent and it sounds to me that you are already planning your future with him-by examining the dynamics of his character. IP: Logged |

LOL.Thank you for saying that to me. I have a tendency to overthink and I usually regard men this way(like examine if they are marriage material). I had a long talk with my teacher last night who said the same thing. Friendship is fine with me. I'm just so meh right now. My teacher pointed out that I need to have an idea of the healthy model of a relationship partner. I gave him tea yesterday. I can be friends. My mind moves faster than my body. T__T

Yeah :-/. When I started checking out, I kept pleading with him to be kinder to me so I could convince myself that leaving wasn't the best idea, that it could get better. He didn't care. Every time I mentioned how I felt myself pull away from him, he would get hurt and then start blaming me for everything. I'm not the type to give up or in easily. I would like to say I'm all cried out, but that's not the case. I just realized I can't keep crying while standing near him anymore. IP: Logged |

I think when it comes from a good place rather than a condescending one, it makes me feel good to see someone cares. I can be hardheaded sometimes, but I'm not unreasonable . IP: Logged |
