Shutting sb out - yes I can see that. But,Scorps invented the game playing - testing,probing. Is their distaste for game playing what lies behind the shutting out or not having the upper hand ?

I would say that testing and probing is not game playing, it's just what it is. Testing and probing. Scorpios are very sensitive, emotional people who feel very intense compared to others and therefore need to be sure it's okay to proceed, when they are having strong feelings for someone. By winning, I mean, if you have a game playing attitude with a Scorpio, don't expect to win. It won't get you anywhere and the Scorp is likely to mistrust you and mark you off the list of possible mates or just intensely dislike you. I don't think Scorpios really do like playing games. They are just very cautious before opening up.

This is why I would never date a scorpio there could be a dozen or more things going on in his personal life that you dont know about that effect his emotions/actions at any given time.

I do not think he likes you as much as you might think? For instance there was this guy who I was seeing recently. I was super sweet action wise (folded his clothes, helped if he asked) but I hardly ever approached first. And I recently told him to cut all contact with me, completely shocked him.

Basically, after some testing and probing I figured out he wasnt the guy for me. He might just be sizing you up. But we play by double standards that is we expect to be able to be manipulative, but we want you to be sincere and honest.

See that doesn't work for me, at all. I just explained above in detail my thoughts. Read all my junk carefully, it is all in there. What you don't understand, ask me directly. See this is what I wish Scorpions would do! Stop with the assuming and sizing and just be up front and honest. That is a total mind game to me and I won't stand for it. I will knock every single Scorpion back to their hole if they even think about doing such tasks to me. I am no monkey to monkey around with. Butterfly with all respect, that wasn't a very wise thing to do to that person. You basically confused the ever living jeebies out of him. That is the kind of stuff I do not tolerate. That is a game. I hate games. If they are fun, so be it! If they are to harm, trust me my stinger is worse then yours and I don't have one. (that depends on the deed the reaction one will receive)

Thank you Red. That explains very much for me. I can understand how that works and I am ok with that. I am so with you there on much of this statement.

And therefore entitled to probing?
Testing/Game is like a flirt (inconjunction to Gem) to Scorps,the path of proving yourself to them. And if you are very into Scorp voodoo,I bet you'd find it thrilling,ritualistic

I have to chime in with a personal experience,I always win with Scorps. I find it so amusing. #Leo

You say cautious - watching their steps? That's a game too

Any person, no matter what their sign is, male or female is going to have this one general rule. Even you Scorpions can agree with this.

When you are doing something whatever it may be to someone, you have to know that no matter who you are dealing with is going to take your actions of what YOU do and put that into their own account and react to what you give out. This entire scene for instance. He knows what he is doing, and he has to know that I am going to react accordingly. So IF it were just the testing probing stuff, there should be no reason why I cannot justify that and do the same thing myself. Right? That whole double standard junk is just that, junk. You cannot expect to get anyone or anywhere with that type of attitude. It is give and take no matter who you are. If you want something in your favor, you are best not to probe and pry and be on the sly. Just be honest. If you are crushed, well so are the many millions of others acting just like you. How do you avoid being crushed? Stop with the so called mind games that the rest of us perceive as. If your counterpart suspects you as a game ritual, you are going to end up with the exact same results, sorry to say my friends. If you want sincerity and honesty, you have to give that out to gain it. For example- guy is interested in gal, what is the wisest thing he can do? Be front forth and honest and respectful. You will get more bees with honey than with eggs, cornflakes, and Styrofoam. So don't egg your target on. Don't be corny and flake off on them. Don't place yourself foamy if you want a solid brick house. Take the lead. Ya'll are power houses right? Be that surified powerful being without abusing YOURSELF. Then all the honeys flock to you naturally. There is no testing or probing involved.

Maybe this Scorpion thing is too much for my brain to handle. None the less, it is teaching me something. Everything I stated above. I am after all, the genius. lol! I hope some have learned from me as well. I ultimately hope this guy learns from me as well too. He surely needs it. I know his life, he needs me (it)!

lmao! That sure has me laughing! I see myself doing these exact same things too for the heck of it. I have that ridiculous Scorp moon, but even I can wisen up and be actually respectful. If I see the other person tortured in anyway I pull the plug. If they are having fun with it and its harmless, by all be, probe and manipulate. If all else fails, its good to sharpen your skills no matter what they are. lol

Yeah my moon is in Scorpio, so I do know what is going on. Here's the deal-

Scorpios feel on a deep level that no other sign can dominate. My earth ruler keeps me in check of all being balanced. It does not mesh with the feely scorpy who wants to come out of the closet and dance! Ok thats my Sag talking, but none the less my earth and water are always at a battle and it leaves me in confusion.

Yes I know this person wants to know me. I can feel that very much so.
I am confused because I really don't know what to do with it.
I am also afraid of letting my water flow and making a river right through the heart of it. My earthly being wont allow that to happen.

So what happens? I remain right where I am. In my own confusion. I'm used to getting my way and guys adoring me if they have any interest what so ever. I'm beyond confused why this guy is not reacting like all my others before him. There are two conflicting dices rolling and neither of them are fitting into my description of life.

Ok so he wants to know me. Why isn't he taking the time to talk to me??? Why would I be feeling this so very strongly if it were not true? Why is he not on this like most interested males are? I don't see the hold up. Dude you know you want this, so be out right about it!

Ok so what does he do, he just keeps me stringing along. And to top that off, if he were actually bluffing me, he never has the attitude for such a maneuver. He is way too nice to me! That confuses me even the more of course.

Why would someone be acceptionally genuine to me and give me the persona he is a caring person, but on the other end of the spectrum, just after so much give me the cold run off?

Yes I have answered my own questions. I love hearing y'alls feedbacks. I have it mastered down to one very basic objective. He doesn't want to lose control is why he is not proceeding the way I suspect he shall. If he gives in, then I have won a victory. As it stands right now, I took everything he ever did and put it back on him.

He did the gazing ordeal. I returned it.
He had a couple tantrums, light ones, none the less. I retorted the same effect.
He lended me his property and bailed. So I took it in return that I gained something of his. That entire time he's wondering when I will return.
When I did, I managed to state a fair play. Ok so enough with the games I tell myself. If this guy is for real and he wants anything at all to do with me, he has to contact ME.
I am no longer puppeting to his play. I went into it with fair play. I did what I wanted to do. Now he has no choice in the matter if he wants to continue to see this gorgeous face.

As a Scorpion it is hard feeling things that we don't always want to surface. He's doing the exact same thing I am, covering it up. The whole battle of why the heck is he doing that? He's thinking the same thing, "Why is she doing that?" I know for certain he's pondering what I want and that is why I'm left in the lil maze all by myself. I gave no more about myself then he did of himself. Yes as being in the Scorp state of mind, it is all about the mystery. I have plenty of that. So basically I am ticking myself off. I want the answers but I don't want to give any either. He's doing that same ol ritual with me. Only so much and then distance. I totally get it. I just wish he wasn't doing it at times. I have put illusions in my mind that I want, and I know that is why I became obsessed and wanted it ALL. I did us both a favor and backed off. I was actually creeping myself out more then he could ever try to creep me out.

I have an affair in the back of my mind that surfaces quite frequently. I figured out why I am attracted in that direction. It's mainly about power, baby. lol He owns a business, and I want a slice of my pie. I also realize that he has those same blue eyes as I've always had in my life before. They hypnotize me. I become starstruck in some lala land that doesn't exist. This is why I so desperately want that hug. I want to be assured that my blue eyed leos dont hate me. I can't get that from them, maybe I can get it from Mr. Scorpio. But it isn't justifying if the leo's even matter. It is essential to my core that it matters to me, that I am well deserving of something so righteously mine. I know that sounds possessive and pathetic. He for sure isn't mine, obviously, or I wouldn't be on here trying to figure him out. lol Yet I have this burning attachment that I cannot explain in reality terms. Something I just "feel" that is already mine. And if that isn't the damnedest of the damned, I really don't know what is. I tell myself daily that I'm more then screwed up in the head. lol I admit it fully. And I keep telling myself to get this person out of my mind! Myself doesn't listen to myself. I'm excited and fearful at the same time. I'm excited my life may change, and for the better. I am fearful that it is nothing and it is all actually just in my head and all my efforts failed. But that's life I guess.

Over all, I would be shocked beyond without a doubt if all my intuition were once again correct. I still doubt it from time to time because it doesn't seem real. How can a person know so much without knowing anything? I dream or visualize and I'm always accurate. I scare myself, and that is no lie.

Scorpios in general to me are mysterious. Basically all they do is leave out information which has the rest of us in questioning. They probably in return don't understand why we are baffled. They basically keep to themselves. You get a sexy scorp and our minds are racing. lol
