?

He was attracted to you, looked at you when he saw you, hoped he would bump into during his day and was interested enough to ask after you. What has he done wrong?

I dont see any red flags. The usual red flags are lying, disrespectful behaviour, selfishness, disregard for others, etc.

He sounds ok to me. :-)

Also you admit you are leaving him hanging ...while you get freaked out by the fact that he likes you?!

figure out what you want. You dont want him? Let him know but it's unfair to deliberately leave him hanging.

I agree it sounds like a lot of Scorpio traits...he may not be a Scorpio but could be very Plutonian. I don't see any Red flags either - give him a shot

He's persistent because of your behaviour. You let him hug you etc etc then you go cold.
he keeps coming back for more because you are giving him very mixed signals. He has asked you to be his girl, you wont tell him yes or no but you let him touch you? What is he supposed to think?

YOUR behaviour is a red flag. You know he wants you, you dont want him but you are leading him on.

Venus in aqua guy I dated a while ago drove me crazy. All over me, break up I want to be friends he says...multiply that 5 or more times. I told him to go to hell in the end.

Stop playing games.

We can't read his mind and we don't have crystal balls that can divine his intent (not even those of us who say they do). All signs (his time, introducing you to his family, etc, etc) say this isn't a quick fling, but if you can't stop worrying about it then I can't see how this is worth it to you. You're just not ready for a relationship yet (and he's not willing to wait until you are).

Do you like this guy in a romantic sense? Then full speed ahead! It may be faster than you want but it's now or never.

If not, then make it clear you're not into him. And no, you can't "just be friends," that will never do with him, so if there is no romance then there is to be no friendship either. Of course this could reject his family as well, but oh well. It's simply not worth all this worry you're putting yourself through. You don't owe him anything, just tell him to get lost, even if he's intentions are pure. If he continues to stalk you then get a restraining order.

And don't say "I'm a Pisces, I feel sorry for him." If you were truly kind to him you'd tell him to get lost rather than forever waffling which is more cruel than making a clean break. Breaking it off is a quick sting but he can then move on and heal while now you're wasting his time as well as yours and making the hurt go on a lot longer than it has to for both of you (and making the pain of the inevitable break down the road all the more painful and embittering). So if you're really compassionate while not particularly interested in him then do the kind thing (or at least lesser evil) by telling him to get lost!

Ummmmm.... Ok... I just don't like it. I have to be honest.

Why is your intuition going haywire over this guy?
I mean something must be going on beneath the surface that bothers you.
The fact that he likes you - doesn't mean you *have to* like him back. You're not committed here.

He doesn't seem very communicative or open.. and he doesn't seem to truly understand you. His behaviour is kind of like "I think this girl is gorgeous - so I am willing to do anything to be with her"... That's what it sounds like to me.
This doesn't mean he wants a fling. He may well want relationship, but possibly for superficial reasons.

Do you feel a deeper, spiritual or mental connection with him? Is he someone you could talk to for hours on end and never get bored? Do you have many things/interests or hobbies in common?

If the only thing you seem to have in common is coming from dysfunctional families and having a painful past - this is not a very healthy situation imo
I understand that it can feel good to have someone there who knows what it's like to go through these things.. but it's equally important to connect on many other levels in order to have a happy relationship.

I couldn't say much about his step-dad, if his step-dad was involved then it counts as a present father, and almost certainly a better one than if his loser of a biological father was the one to have raised him. Super simple answer, I don't think any type of broken home is likely to make a man more prone to cheat (though other things caused by growing up in a broken home might), but children do learn a lot by watching their parents (but sometimes they learn to NOT be like them, like I avoid drinking because I don't want to wind up like my alcoholic parents). It all depends, it's early and I've got to get breakfast started so I don't have time to explain social trends on this. Bottom line is if he's got a history of being responsible (doesn't change jobs a lot, keeps his professional and personal commitments, going to church regularly counts) then I don't think he's likely to cheat.

And I don't feel anything for him in this regard, I'm just trying to analyze the sitch as best I can. The question is what do you want?

It seems to me that all you can do is worry and are uncomfortable so maybe you shouldn't, especially if you feel that by his "winning" that you "lose." If your doubts are correct then you don't need him, and if your doubts are wrong then he needs a woman who can appreciate him, not constantly question his motives.

OTOH, if you want him but are simply paralyzed with insecurity then I think you should just jump in, and hopefully the fears will go away (like jumping into a lake thinking it will be cold or slimy but then quickly finding it fine). I'd only want you to give him a chance if you WANTED to, however, and not out of pity or worried how the neighbors will see if you don't (btw, most American neighbors won't think bad of you for leaving him out on the staircase, especially if you and he is of a different race and in this case they may prefer that you did keep him out--not that I think you should let them dictate your actions in this matter).

But I'm glad you appreciated my help.

I haven't seen Saving Face but I've found it and will give it a view when I have a couple of hours, maybe today, maybe in a day or two.

It was okay to ask publicly since I've brought it up before. Truth be told I was glad to hear of it as there aren't many good lesbian dramas but reading the reviews for it made me want to see it so that maybe I could share it with others who hunger for such movies.

I'm surprised a Libra would bad mouth his step-dad like that without much reason. Maybe that's his Taurus ASC at work who care a lot more about tradition and old fashion values, and his step-dad would seem like an interruption of tradition. Some (especially the very old fashion) also identify strongly with their biological father seeing the blood and all as the soul and believing no one could love a child as a biological parent (or at least blood relative).

And black people are just as prone to racism as white people, and both black and white people who seem to lack racist tendencies can suddenly show them if they catch one of their own dating outside their race (this is especially likely to rankle some black people if the black man or woman dating outside his or her race happens to be successful and stable, or possibly beautiful in the case of a woman, a "prize catch" in any case), though one night stands usually don't count for these types. And in both Houston and Los Angeles (at least back in the 90s) I've known of hostility between Asian & African Americans worse than between black and white, though I've heard it's lessened somewhat in LA as the growing violence of the Mexican drug cartels is felt strongly in LA to unite Asian & African Americans together (or at least agree that they both have much bigger concerns than each other) against this new development. Of course it could be different where you're at, and I think racism is slowly dying out among everyone (though still kicking).

But anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do.

His family is his business. Only if you marry (thus joining the family) should you even consider saying anything. And probably not even then, his chart says he's very stubborn once his mind is set.

And no red flags.

Maybe you are not asexual.

Maybe you just dont feel strongly for this man.

I think when you meet someone you really feel strongly for you won't be so "asexual" towards them.

You're just not going to stop asking about red flags, so just stop seeing him. It's not fair to him and it's not worth it to you. You're never going to stop so you can never be happy with him due to the constant anxiety and he won't be happy with you. And it seems you're just going along because you pity him and worry what the neighbors will say, and that's no reason to be with somebody (so if you "need permission" to NOT date the guy then consider yourself having permission).

Could you be asexual? Sure. I don't think the stars have much to say about it...I think they may create inclinations but not everyone born with your placements is going to be asexual. Interesting fact, plenty of identical twins raised in the same home are such that one who is gay and the other straight. Granted, I think there's at least a 50% chance that if one identical twin is gay then so is the other...but not all the other babies born with them (that is with the same natal chart). I read the biology on that (though it's all still being debated) but it's too late for me to try to remember now...it's pretty advanced genetic stuff. Basically biology and environment are important but there's a bit of randomness in the genes which make the finished person, so in the case of identical twins they both have the same potential but the random part was triggered in one but not the other, and no one really knows why. (And I see asexuality about the same way.)

ETA: I just wanted to add there's nothing wrong with being asexual (assuming it's genuine and not the result of fear or trauma). I've known some great people that made this world a better place who were asexual and some of them were far happier than others in their dysfunctional and/or tragic relationships (or pain from not being in one). I admired and sometimes envied how happy they could be living alone (though not all asexuals live alone), especially when they used the spare time and energy to better themselves in other ways.

I think that when the baby takes a first breath outside the womb is when the baby's "soul" is born or booted up or whatever you want to call it, and that's when the natal chart kicks in. Your Gemini moon can explain your Gemini traits (which is how you are emotionally and also how you deal with feelings).

Are we seriously saying that astrology affects genetics?!

I am a taurus, my sister is an aquarius, my niece is an aries, my cousin is a scorpio.

We all have the same eyes as we're family.
