Here's the story, I'll try to do a short version: I met my friend's brother-in-law back in February at a party. We barely spoke, just introduced, but I did find him very attractive. They all live out-of-town, so it's been a few months. They came back to town this week, so on Friday the 13th I went to see my friend one night when they were all hanging out at their hotel. Saw the brother-in-law again, he remembered meeting me months before at this party, and that was about it, except I felt like we held eye contact just a bit tooo long. Anyways, everyone's hanging out, mingling, we don't particularly chat very much. People start leaving, going back to their rooms, the bar is closing. My friend already left at this point, so it's me, him, and a few others. I say goodnight, and he says to me "Where are you going!". I say I was gonna go home, but the small group is gonna after party in a room so they tell me to join....

After that it was like a full-force attack out of left field. He suddenly won't leave me alone. He is being SO flirty with me, standing in my space, touching me, and we're totally hitting it off- giggling like teenagers. I feel like we definitely have a connection, you could cut the sexual tension with a knife...he felt so familiar to me, I'm not sure why, but I told him so and he says probably from a past life. Then he keeps making comments like that to me, like we're soulmates, or that we're stuck with eachother now, that sort of thing. This goes on for probably an hour before there's a pause, and we're looking at eachother, and he slowly leans in and kisses me. From there, we keep stealing kisses/making out when no ones really looking, although everyone obviously knows whats going on. He friend even says to me "You two are a match made". Time to leave, his other friend says he approves of me.(?!?) I go back with him to his room,(duh)and we sleep together,(duh). He wants me to stay but I leave, he asks for my number, we exchange.

Don't hear from him at all. I tell my friend what happened. She says he knew that she knew, and told her he had fun with me. She does say he's a strange guy, and definitely has a history of being a womanizer. They're all leaving on Monday, so I text him Sunday night. He doesn't respond until late that night, and we have some flirty dialogue. He says he wants to see me tomorrow to "rekindle the huge flames we have". I say I thought he was leaving, and he says he just postponed his flight an extra day. So the next day, I text him again, he responds, but then I don't hear from him at all! Everyone he was with flew out, so he was just sitting alone at his hotel I guess?! Then I saw on his twitter that he flew home this morning. He sent me one comment on there, but I haven't heard a thing....

Now, obviously, I can't stop thinking about him. I am having a hard time distinguishing if that was genuine, or if he was just using his super-smoothie lines on me. I totally felt something and I'm not sure if that can be faked...but he has a history of it so I don't know!!

Please take a look at our synastry and comment! Note that I don't have a birth time for him, he's on the outside:
And I'll post our natals too...they are kind of similar. We both have a Grand Trine in water.

Oy. I don't know if I was dreading that response or if that's what I was hoping for.

That's pretty normal Scorpio behavior, right? Sheesh, why do I have to like Scorpios?!

The night was peppered with little such comments, and I was so skeptical of him, as I am of everyone, it just left me going "Huh?"

And I DO like a challenge, unfortunately...Mars in Aries and an 8th house Sun. I don't like anything light and airy and already-figured out.

Well, I'm not super familiar with the way Scorpios always work...it seems to me like he's sitting back, taking his time, maybe feeling me out.

Ugh.

Right. If you want my advice (as an 8th house Scorpio Sun and other planets) - play hard to get. Not too much, or he'll call your bluff, but don't make this too easy for him. He'll get bored quickly. Just as you like a challenge and a mystery etc, so does he.

One thing I find people sometimes misunderstand about Scorpios, is that yes we can be stubborn, tenacious, wicked etc - but we are also usually very realistic about our 'power' (for want of a less dramatic word!). Have you ever seen a Scorpion attack a lion, or an elephant, or a blue whale? No. Because they would stand no chance in a fight. If I know there is even a slight chance I can achieve something, and I really really want it, I will go for it and won't let go until I have conquered/succeeded. If, however, at any point (regardless of how much effort I'd already put in to something) I decide that I'm not going to be able to get it/win it/achieve it, I will give in and walk away. Point blank. I don't see it as a weakness either, nor would I look back with regret.

So, if he really wants you (sounds like he does) and he thinks he can get you, he will make it happen; he will make sure he does. And I don't mean get you as in sleep with you, I mean he will be evaluating whether he can make you fall in love with him.

Playing too hard to get, there's a risk he'll think you're out of his reach so my guess is he would back away. Play too easy, and he'll lose interest very quickly. It will take him a while to learn and appreciate everything that is special about you. The trick is to keep him enticed long enough for that discovery to happen. The only way to do that, is to make him work for it. Be different, but not confusing. Be original, but not strange. Be confident but not controlling. Be interested but don't push to know his secrets. (yet, anyway )

I'm rambling now, so I'm going to shut up.

Usual disclaimer applies - all above is only my opinion, I'm no expert in astro matters!

I have nerves of steel. I'm an 8th House Sun Aquarius.

I will stay directly in his peripheral vision.

I heard from Scorpio guy. He said he wants to see me again and he still thinks about the night we had.

Problem is, he's halfway around the world right now. And we live in different cities, although he told me he really wants to move here.

He wouldn't just be saying that because I'm friends with his sister-in-law, right? A Scorpio would only say something they mean, I assume.
