I met a guy at work whom I've known for the past 6 months. For the first three he was with his girlfriend whom he thought he was going to marry (3 years). The last 3 I've known him, they've been on the rocks and have finalized their break up as of a couple weeks ago. Obviously after 3 years, you're not just going to bounce back and begin dating. However, all of a sudden this guy seems to be getting close to me emotionally way faster than I'm used to (and maybe comfortable with?) for a guy. For instance, we always trade epic fail retail stories together, I wrote him on Facebook the other night and I said "Oh I have one for you!" and he told me to message him. When I did, thinking we would just message back and forth about the horror story, he also suggested I could text him and gave me his number. I didn't give him mine mainly because the story was entirely too long to text and I wrote it out anyway. We were at work a week ago and about to get off for the night, and he asked me if I'd join him for a smoke break after work (I don't smoke.) I said sure, because he's a cool guy to talk to in general. That instance I could see being just friendly, but I'm adding it in case. Today he mentioned he needed my number so it'd be easier to text me things. He asked what time I got off and we realized it was at the same time. He was able to leave before me but he waited for me afterwards and we talked for a half hour after about how he was doing since his break up. He mentioned about a girl having a huge crush on him in one of his classes whom he might ask out, but this was after I'd expressed interest in our beefy security guard lol. This Libra guy makes me nervous when he looks at me because it's like his entire face is very open and glow-y. When we were heading our separate ways I still hadn't given him my number (not intentional, I guess I figured I could give it to him whenever since we're Facebook friends) and he asked for it again. We catch each other's eyes quite often but it's annoying to me to do it THAT often so I look away lol. He has moon in Pisces, which is hilarious because he flat out admitted he's an empath today. I knew he was but I was impressed he actually knew what the eff I was talking about! His placements: Libra Sun Pisces Moon Virgo Mercury (very literal people by the way.) Libra Venus Mars in Gemini Let me make it clear I see this guy as a friend for right now. I'm not asking for any other reason than to analyze how Libras operate with friends vs. interests. ETA: Seeing that Mars in Gemini sort of explains it. I have Mars in Gemini too, and him and I have a lot in common - personality wise and probably how we go about getting what we want.

do you have any romantic interest in him? my guess is he likes you,because as a guy if i even talk to a girl its because i'm interested in her,so he prolly is interested but confused because you talk to him and friendly towards him but you admitted interest in another guy to him,and you have turned down his request for your phone number,i mean if i was that guy i would be confused as h*ll right now XDIP: Logged |

Well, i think it's different for some guys. Most guys are like that, that they only try to befriend girls they like...but there are a lot of guys who have friends who are girls but have no romantic interest in them. I'm a girl btwIP: Logged |

He could be trying to get over his ex. I think it takes a lot longer than a couple of weeks to get over someone you were with for 3 years. And most libras I know jump from one relationship to the next. Sounds like he may be on the rebound but that doesn't mean he couldn't genuinly like you.------------------ *LoveMeUnconditional<3 IP: Logged |

you just think they have no romantic interest XD trust me i am a guy and any guy will tell you,if a guy talks to you theres a 99 percent chance he likes you,unless said guy happens to be gay,i know there may be exceptions but for the most part what i say is true,i have had women argue this with me alot when i suggest that their supposed guyfriend is interested and they say no! we are just friends! he understands that! then sometime down the road it comes out the guy is interested and i say i told ya so XDIP: Logged |

yes i agree there are exceptions to every rule,but i still believe most guys only approach women they are interested in,i also think that alot of guys approach the girl with interest in dating but the girls arent interested in dating just friendship and the guy goes along with it in hopes she will eventually change her mind,and yes i was probably overboard saying 99 percent but only to make the point that most guys are interested if they are talking to youIP: Logged |

i think that the problem is i give in too easy lol. i like a guy and already want to start dating them, I dont want to do the whole flirting thing for a while...i just want to jump in lol. And they get scared by that and run. Can you confirm this is probably the reason?? lol. Guys are very noneager to commit, right? IP: Logged |

yes. Thank you! Guys who pursue me insistently even say that they want to date me for a while before we become official. I'm like, no thanks. Their excuse is u have to get to know if ppl are crazy b4 u get involved with them. I'm like no.. If u really like me a lot then u would be willing to take that chance. IP: Logged |

I would say he likes you and I would agree with Aquaguy on his statement that men are only interested in Women they find attractive in one way or another. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_lh5fR4DMA I believe that Men and Women can't be just friends, one party will always want it to be more, for the most part it will be Men because we are driven by different instincts. There are of course cases where a man is not interested in one of his girl friends but they are not very common. Whether it is known conciously or not isn't the issue. If you asked people to actually think about why they are friends or if they found each other attractive in any way i'm sure that 99% of the answers would be yes. Good luck in deciding what to do in your situation. ------------------ Learn lots. Don't judge. Laugh for no reason. Be nice. Seek Happiness. Follow your dreams. IP: Logged |

This guy is not a typical macho man. I mean he was upfront about believing in spiritual matters like being an empath and how he's had that ability since he was 10. He said he's over his feelings for his ex but he's still hurting about the break-up. Personally, I do think he likes me. He's not a bad catch at ALL it's just that when I FEEL someone likes me THAT quickly it makes me go even slower in terms of how I feel about them. Up until I started getting all this attention from him, I thought we were friends.I'll post the synastry but I have to warn you it's a "noon" chart. It's annoying when people ask for the synastry, I post it, and then they complain it's worthless because I don't have the right birth time. RE: The argument between men and women's friendship. In my experience it was difficult for me to make true guy friends because I was not as attractive as my other friends. I mean, they were nice to me in class, we joked, but they never said hi to me in the halls or paid any attention to me outside of class. Then again, that was high school. Now that I'm in college I find I have a plethora of genuine guys whom I would call friends but... they never ask me to hang out or ask for my number at all. We keep in touch via Facebook. I see them hanging out with other girls in my classes though that I know they haven't known before then. Based upon my life experience and such, I'd have to agree with the guy/girl attractiveness = friendship. I'm just not sure it applies to this gentleman I'm talking about. His energy IS very soft and gentle, even if he's very direct/blunt. So I could see him having more girl friends than guys. IP: Logged |

You'll find a nice girl when you're focusing on yourself and not on finding the girl, lol. When you're taking my advice and taking it well, you'll find yourself so much more relaxed and open. I am in the process of changing the way I think as well. I'm 22 and haven't ever had a proper boyfriend. I was self-conscious about it until I reached my limit. I had it with being anxious and hyperconscious of myself every time a guy was around I wanted to impress. So I stopped thinking about the guy and started thinking about myself, kind of like reigning in your energy. And voila! I was a lot more fun to be around because I wasn't trying so hard, and I got a lot more attention from the guys. I also found I didn't care as much if I DIDN'T get their attention (which is probably even more attractive - not being needy.) - all by changing my pattern of thinking. IP: Logged |
