Well, I need some space but really I'd like to talk to him all the time if i could but i feel that's unhealthy and a lottle too co-dependent, so that's why i wanted to keep my distance. But i think tuxedoMask's advice made the most sense. Texting back after 2 weeks will really destryoy the bond we've already made. And it's better to text once in a while but more moderately than we have been doing so far until now. Like she says, there's no need to go to extremes.

Thank you, though .

And, besides, i already texted him today lol

A funny thing----He's a libra and he said yesterday that he has trouble picking a side and defending it when it comes to any issue. Lol.

Two days later after I text him, he texts me again. Lol. The mutual venus-pluto sure makes things obsessive. Sigh :/

I have venus conjunct pluto with someone, and I can totally relate to this. We are "friends" but we go through periods of "silence", so to speak. I'm pluto, he's venus. I can relate to feeling suffocated. I've periodically have to back away, sometimes for a few weeks at a time... And when I do, there's alot of hurt feelings on his part. I've tried to explain to him that he's not being abandoned, but that I need space. I have a life & can't spend 24/7 talking/texting/chatting with him. If I don't respond to him the same day he contacts me, he freaks out, says I'm ignoring him. *sigh* It's like it has to be all or nothing with him. I think this last time I had this sort of conversation with him, I got through to him. I had to be a bit harsh & tell him to stop being so high maintenance, that I am forever & always his friend, but sometimes my attention MUST be on other things in my life. Maybe it's a venus/pluto thing? I don't know, but it makes me feel bad that he gets so hurt like he does.

I am so glad u can relate! I think it's a mutual thing with us. We're both obsessed and we both need space, and we both get hurt if either of us needs it. Remember, we have mutual venus-pluto aspects. I was chatting with him on fb the other day and as soon as he was going to tell me how his day went i said "sry sry I really have to go!" because my mom was yelling for me to get off the computer, then i texted him because i wanted to keep talking and he's like "I thought you forgot about me "

and one time he didn't say bye to me, and i started pouting "aw hey you didnt say bye to me" ...this was a few days after meeting him btw, and he came up to me with this expression like he was going to do something really daring and embarassing and gave me this really nice hug. aw .

He texted me his schedule this morning. It's like even though we have nothing to talk about....he has to say anything because we HAVE to talk. I'm currently mad at him because he'll take 15 to 20 minutes to respond to each text and will usually leave me hanging and not reply after we've been talking for a while. He could at least say "okay, ttyl." Even though he was the one who initiated the texting the last time we talked, I'm not contacting him again until he texts me again and then I'll make it obvious through short, rude text repsonses that I'm mad at him, lol, until he asks "is something wrong?" I don't want to be naggy and ask him why he leaves me hanging and takes so long to reply inbetween texts, so I figure that way will be better.

Thanks btw tuxedoMask

Okay so Here's what's been happening recently. I saw him 7 days after that last time he texted me and left me hanging AGAIN, ran into him at school ..he doesnt go to my campus so that is a once in a lifetime occurrence pretty much. He ran up to me and shouted my name and gave me a hug LOL. Like he looked seriously happy to see me. I guess he was worried since i hadn't texted him for a week. Then he offered to drive me to my car after i would walk him to his and we stayed talking in his car ...cue the constant joking and laughing as usual, except this time he was a lot more open. He took the initiative a lot more and mostly it was him making the jokes this time. "Thank GOD," i thought, "he's finally breaking out of his shell." Afterwards i left quickly with some excuse cuz i forgot i was supposed to be sending the message that i'm
mad at him LOL. Then he stayed there in his car waiting for me to start my car and leave. It was lightly drizzling and he suggested i get back in his car to look for my keys since it was still raining. Lol. Very protective of me as always. So after we laughed some more of course again b4 i left and as i was getting settled into my car i looked over at him inside his car and he was just sitting there smiling really really big. Haha. That made me feel good, that it seemed he does care.

Fast forward 4 days later to yesterday. Party at our university. He was there, and all our friends. I knew he would be, and when it came time that i'd have to say hi to him i said hi to his friends but just said a brusque "hey." to him. When i first walked up to where he and his friends were he was looking at me with this really shy smile, eyes really lit up. And when i said hi to him like that he looked so hurt..i felt sooo bad. I didnt know if i could keep it up. But i felt i had to drive home the message somehow. So as the night went on i just kept ignoring him, and i noticed as he would ditch his friends and sit somewhere by himself looking depressed, and he would try to start conversation with me but he looked oh so hurt i just couldnt take it. It was hard, but i managed to keep it going. he was even desperately trying to get my attention by being loud and obnoxious at a certain point. It was horrible having to see that. :/ At the end i hugged him goodbye as if nothing had happened and when i made a joke he laughed in the shy way he usually does with me and i noticed he started following me like he usually does. But then i abandoned him again. I felt soooo bad. But at least it seemed like we ended the night on a good note, you know, with a hug.

So GUYS if you're ever mad at someone tell them, dont give them the silent treatment! It's soo horrible seeing someone u care about being tortured. I almost felt like crying. So i couldnt wait to text him in the morning to tell him i didnt hate him and that i was so sorry for putting him thru that. So we talked about it and he explained that a lot of people compain about this to him, that he gets distracted very easily and leves his phone lying around and usually doesnt get back to it after much later. It feels so much better talking about it even if u risk coming off as naggy. I think if theyre ur real friend, theyll understand. Phew! Glad that's over.

I guess we're best friends. It's hard to call him that because we hardly know each other. But we clicked immediately.

"he was even desperately trying to get my attention by being loud and obnoxious at a certain point. It was horrible having to see that. :/"


lollllllllllllllll it really is sometimes funny to see if but oh, such a turn off, isnt it? kind of.. i enjoy it sometimes when i know that they're trying to get my attention but MAN, u really drove that pluto home, didn't u? poor guy....

i'm kinda doing the same thing though, to someone lollllllllllll.. not a romantic inclination, but someone i consider a friend.. it's just that three times already, they've been more focused on tv than on me..

we tried watching a movie, and when i'd talk, they just nod to get me to hush asap to get back to the movie..

first time we hung out, same thing..

til i eventually just got up and said that i was going to be going..

the last time, i texted after we hung out (next day) and they told me to stop and that they'll talk to me the next day because they were at their friends' watching a movie and i was 'interrupting'......

they've called and texted a few times (they're out of town) and i've not replied..

the last time, i really just didn't even call or text to tell em bye before their trip.

i don't even really see myself bothering to reach out to them in return after that.

i have venus in Cancer..

Venus in Cancer does NOT appreciate slights and neither does Moon in Leo or North Node in Pisces!

in synastry, my pluto opposes their moon.

their neptune squares my venus and moon.

Well if i'm watching a movie and someone who i dont care about texts me i'll just ignore the text and wont bother to tell the person to text me back later or that im busy or anything. Also, if he didnt care, why would e text you to say what's up several times?

Maybe you should tell him it hurts you when he does that while u two are watching a movie. Sometimes i do that to someone if they're talking too much while we're watching a movie. But he sounds rude, though. I would say it in a nice way. Saying you're "interrupting" the movie is rude. Saying "Hey is it okay if i get back to u later? Watching a movie" is polite.

Some people are rude, some have rude moments. If there's anything i learned from this it's that you should speak up when you feel hurt about something someone did . So hopefully you'll decide of he wa ls just having a rude moment or if he's just a nasty rude person period. And if he might really actually appreciate you.

Let me know what happens


Btw I so did drive home that pluto! LOL! Ugh, terrible. I felt like crying afterwards. We have my venus sextile his pluto and my pluto square his venus. :/ So there goes my pluto, i guess. Manipulating and using control out of insecurity. I told him i'd never do that again though. And i wont. I was definitely suffering as much as he was.

lol i have leo moon, too... leo moon does NOT like being ignored but also leo moon is very fun/a little childlike and we do give the silent treatment lol.. think that's what sand was trying to hint at

we don't do it out of spite, but it's just more of a 'uh... you're not even worth the time i have to bask on things that actually MATTER, so uh, away with you!' lolllllllll!

as far as movie person, haven't talked to them..

i think they get back into town today because they were out on a trip for labor day, but yes, i thought that 'interrupting' bit was rude, too.

wasn't sure if it was just me but i haven't gotten to them because of it.. yes, i agree, there is a little thing known as tact and they totally failed in that dept.

they're a Sun in Cancer, btw...

the thing is that they have uranus squaring moon.. so i think it may have been a subconscious attempt at creating that dumb as$ distance that square gives some in their natal chart.. i don't care much because i've had my eye on somebody else and the only reason i hung out with movie person was because i wanted to kind of get my mind off the other one since i wasn't feeling so fresh with that interaction, either.

Lol, sand you forgot his sign? But you said it right there in the same post lol. Libra

I agree it is immature but I really was ready to cut off all contact with him, because I would never take that long to reply to someone who i actually was interested in being friends with, and i would never ever leave them hanging for fear that they get mad. But he says it's a bad habit and he does it to everyone and everyone complains. He leaves his phone lying around away from him and comes back to it much later, puts it in his pocket and doesnt feel it vibrate, etc. I guess maybe i believe him because he *does* initiate texts, and he was even the first one to text me when we met. Plus he looked like he was going to cry when he saw i was ignoring him, so. Lol. It just doesnt make any sense though. When i'm excited to talk to someone i always check my phone constantly to see if they replied.

Lol I like what you said, sand, about him possibly posting on another forum. Haha.

And leo moons are immature. He has sag moon. I think i am immature, childish, and extremely naive and attention-seeking sometimes. But believe me, i was ready to not deal with him anymore after because that's so rude. But then i felt bad when i saw that he did care.

just wanted to update on that movie loser...

wow... so they text me and ask if i'm ignoring and i told em pretty much that im just avoiding the eggshells they have me walking on every time i say something or text while there's something similar to a tv around or playing in the background..

told me to call em, i said no that i was in traffic.. (i was but i could've called)

told me to call em after i got out of traffic and then they said that they're sorry for hurting my feelings and blah blah blah... i told em that they're damn right that it hurts and it's the third time they've done it and i don't like it when i'm not getting attention and i'm vying for it with the tv or that stupid show The Voice (which sucks, btw!) i won't do it! i told them that i wont and then i let em know that i was gonna go to the store and then the gym and in the gym, they have TONS of television and i was gonna watch the whoooooooooole lot of em!!!!!!!!!!!!

then i later called...

we talked...

i hated it that i got teary eyed
and then we agreed to see each other once i left the gym *this was 7 almost 8*..

get out of the gym and look at the clock it says 10.. reasonable work out, plus shower and a quick shave.

look at my texts,

they're "going to bed...".............. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , , , , , , , , , , , , . . . . . . . . . . , , . . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , . , .

the first one i do care about.. (if that last comment was related to my postings)... that's the one talked about in that venus squaring chiron and neptune thread somewhere around here.... has anyone seen that 90's movie ONLY YOU with robert downey jr? they have neptune conjunct venus in synastry and she has it natally... if i hadn't seen myself in that movie, i don't know in which one i will!

but well, that person i do care about, i think.. i feel really good around them/with them.. their venus just falls in my twelfth and i don't know what the hell it's all about!!!!!!!!! we've been communicating in the strangest ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to the point where if anyone else were to read what we were doing, they would think we're looking wayyy too much into things!

ARGH!!!!!!!! i don't wanna think about it or go into detail. im feeling peaceful after going through this emotional ride earlier today.

but the Cancer Sun person, i don't quite care much for them.. they're just 'nice'.. they're the neptune in this case and i'm the venus and moon and the neptune is super nice, i guess, just somewhat jerky and i just kind of don't care much for them so i could only see us probably being very good friends but nothing past it even though it gave the impression that it'd seem nice..

the tv thing, the texting thing, the metting up plan to the just going to sleep at 10 pm..... really puts a damper on things, ykno?

besides, i'm getting SIGNS just about every friggin way possible about that other person such as seeing their name or seeing one letter different, in front of stores, or randomly through a complete ironic conversation, etc..

dunno what to say.

yep wuz talkin to both of you's...

has anyone seen that 90's movie ONLY YOU with robert downey jr?

DAMON BRADLEYYYY!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL!

wait so you'd totally create a soulmate for someone you've liked since you were a kid and get her to italy and pretend helping her look for her guy but in actuality you want her to fall in love with u? hmm.. i guess i've seen people use that technique in more simplified terms. u wouldn't happen to have venus in scorpio would you?

ARGH!!!!!!!! i don't wanna think about it or go into detail. im feeling peaceful after going through this emotional ride earlier today.

daz cool me just find it hard to understand strong emotions with friendships i guess. but i'm abit retarded in that area anyway.
