Tell me about it! I learned a long time ago to instead of asking a woman for her number, I'd just give her mine. That way if she was interested, she'd call and if not she wouldn't. That cut down on a lot of the wondering if she was into me or not.

Hmm! If I were single and met a guy I liked, I would hope we'd exchange email addresses. "I'll give you mine, you give me yours." That doubles the chances of one of us having the nerve to initiate contact, plus it's easier to figure out what to say over email.First email from me: "Soooooo when's your birthday??"  IP: Logged |

yea.. i dont understand why people give their number to people they are not interested in. if a girl i was not into asked for my number,i would come up with an excuse to soften the blow on her, i might say: i'm already seeing someone or i'm gay #suddenlybecomesmoreanimated.

Like I do get asked out regularly but because I've learnt to stop over thinking, all that past unnecessary pressure is gone! Except now I always assume they are just being friendly and wanna hang out as friends-lots of awkward situations :SIP: Logged |

An equal approach like that is always welcome and even preferred! But some women of my generation where im from are heartless narcissists who only seek to have their egos boosted by guys asking for their numbers. They take your number, show it off to their friends, and when you call they act like you're bothering them!

Initiative can be taken but we like a guy who makes that first step forward that's why I always date guys guys who somehow have a placement in Aries *drool* IP: Logged |

well thats not what i'm talking about, i dont mind making that first move, but afterward it needs to become a tennis match so to speak.. for example: if i call/text she needs to call/text me sometimes, if i ask her out she should let me know she had a good time and suggest we meet up again(if she is interested)... lots of women say"well its a mans job to do all that?" isnt that kind of sexist?lol what if i had the expectation that a woman had to cook me dinner and clean my house because she is a woman lol. this is the 21st century and dating and relationships need to be a 50/50 thing IP: Logged |

No I agree! I have a libra stellium, I love me some equality gets my juices flowing. You are just coming across self entitled princess complex chicks. There are alot of girls who are independent, have intellect, are caring and look good...Just keep searching yeah. quote: Originally posted by aquaguy91: well thats not what i'm talking about, i dont mind making that first move, but afterward it needs to become a tennis match so to speak.. for example: if i call/text she needs to call/text me sometimes, if i ask her out she should let me know she had a good time and suggest we meet up again(if she is interested)... lots of women say"well its a mans job to do all that?" isnt that kind of sexist?lol what if i had the expectation that a woman had to cook me dinner and clean my house because she is a woman lol. this is the 21st century and dating and relationships need to be a 50/50 thing

I can relate to this post a lot (except for the cheating part). I take relationships way too seriously and am perpetually longing for "the one" I can have a lifelong relationship with. I could never relate to the whole "Aquas/Uranians are aloof and inclined to sudden changes of heart/breaking up" thing because that doesn't sound like me at all, I am too inclined to stay even when I really should go.I attributed this to my moon trine Pluto, heavy activity in my 7th house, the fixed stellium (fixed means "wants stability" and after all...) or even as unlikely as it sounds, the earth singleton. I read that people who are low in earth are often inclined to stay in relationships for the stability they can provide since we don't feel grounded and stable within ourselves. Overall though I think Aquarians are way more into relationships than we're given credit for. People really peg us wrong. IP: Logged |

That sounds like me! I really don't like spontaneity from other people, but I also feel the need to discover new things for myself. IP: Logged |
