Okay, so I have a friend that is a Gemini who is pretty cool for the most part. From the beginning I knew he wasn't in a relationship and wasn't seeking one and that was fine by me. I could keep my crush to myself as I have many options besides him and what could it hurt just having him as a friend.So anyways as of late I see him making efforts to get my attention...texting random stuff, making small talk here in and there, letting me know about events that I may be interested in going to, etc. So the other day we were hanging out seen him flirting with another girl (I didn't trip) then in that same evening he started drilling me on very unique subject. I mean he was shooting them questions like a torpedo...long story short I didn't feel dumb just only realized that what I was taught wasn't true and exact and I would have to go back to the drawing board. When fully armed and ready to fire back him and I could pick up where we left off. Okay the following day he starts drilling me on the same topic...now I'm annoyed at this point being the Aries woman that I am...I don't like defeat. Why is he doing this, what's with all of that and is because he actually may like me and feeling me out to see if I'm someone he would consider dating? IP: Logged |

Its typical for a Gemini to test a potential interest since they know a little if just about everything. By telling him what you know of the subject you might impress him, and who knows, maybe he wants you to impress him------------------
I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate? when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history IP: Logged |

So Aries lol. The thing about geminis is they don't take things to too deep of a level like a Scorpio would. I bet anything he just wants to know how much you know about the subject, probably for his amusement ------------------

I was in a similar situation with a Libra sun and Calculus. Air signs like to think they are the ones with the answers and feel like they are being challenged by someone in areas such as information gathering, savant-like expertise and problem solving.
For instance, if they think you know too much about something and this causes them to feel uncomfortable, they will find a subject they think you do not know much about. This Libra sun I used to go out with did this with Calculus. He knew I was in college, liked literature a lot, and Biology, yet hated courses like Algebra so he began with the Calculus drilling. He made up problems on notebook paper, demand I solve them. I would shrug, then he would solve them with this smug  IP: Logged |

Do's and Dont's when flirting with a Gemini... Do - argue (keep it logical, coherent, smart) Don't - kill the conversation Counterstrike: find a subject/an issue he cares about and argue the opposite side. IP: Logged |

Unless he was being obnoxious I don't see the problem. It sounds playful to me.IP: Logged |

It doesn't sound that playful unless you are talking "power play" because that's what it sounds like. It's a form of passive aggression.IP: Logged |

So to update yal...when we last spoke he had the upper hand and was annoying he hell out of me. So on my way home from work and having the opportunity to actually take in everything. Not only did I take back control, I also set him straight, on how he took advantage of the situation. Mind you when this all started I was drunk...so I slow to respond. It was like playing chess with a speed style player and I was still trying to figure out my 1st move.He apologize and owned up to it...still playing me close. I guess at the end of the day long as I have his respect nothing else matters...lol IP: Logged |

I'm not sure if I got all the facts straight here - but why didn't you just tell him that you were drunk at the time and that his questions were annoying you? e.g. "Please stop asking a billion questions. I'm tired and drunk. Go and google it"
And then it wouldn't have been such an "issue"
Or did I miss something? IP: Logged |

What an ass...
I don't really quiz people because I can just gauge someones aptitude in a conversation. I think he's just messing with you. IP: Logged |

my dude has no Gemini in his chart...but one time he was asking me all these questions when I was hung over! Like "who sings this song?!" "what is this song about!?" "what kind of car is" "what is this part called on an M16!?"
After a while I was thinking why is he testing my whits so much when I'm hungover??? I mean I do like learning from him being a Gemini Rising. But I put up with it cause he's good to me and bought me breakfast. haha IP: Logged |

He is so testing you...it's because you take it serious, and he know he is getting you stressed out... you are losing this game of wits, sorry to say it...
You can only shut a geminis mouth with your intellectual quick wit... and they will keep trying to get back at you constantly, they are really a master of quick-wits, and they hate to argue, they just wan't to chit chat about something witty and not too seriously when they are in that mood... he is being playful just to test your quick-wit, so if you still like him, you gotta take on that optimistic sag-attitude of "whatever I do what I want"But I think you are doing ok, cause you are an aries, and gemini usually love aries:P IP: Logged |

Oh No.. You can also shut a Geminis mouth by saying: please shut up. Anyhow I don't think he understands you are different people. You have to get to know each other for him to get your brand of intelligence and the things you know about & are interested in.
This doesn't have to all happen in ONE conversation.
Honestly just set your own pace and he'll follow suit because he is mutable. If you don't like something just tell him. I do think you are taking this a bit too seriously though. Don't worry about him thinking you are stupid because he knows full well that he is instigating and being a sh*t. And he wouldn't be interested in you at all if he didn't already think you were intellectually interesting. He would be pestering someone else with his questions - if he wasn't interested in you.
So yeah - first of all don't take it so seriously .. and second of all - if it bothers you - direct his energy elsewhere. Don't just let him keep on keeping on. The good thing with cardinal/mutable relationships is that the mutable person is open to a lot of different things - so it's ok for the cardinal person to take the lead. If you stopped talking to him over this - rather than simply telling him to shut up when he annoys you --- I think he would feel hurt. I don't think he understands how much this bothers you.

I did tell him I was drunk but at the sametime game recognize game and he was enjoying being the victor at the moment. I didn't block his shine only because I knew I would get him back later...lol

Overall I think he knows he's met his match and at the same time I eventually got over it after he called me "killa", lol when I made it a point to call him out on his actions the following day. Like I mentioned before he owned up to and apologized. We are still cool as friends and thats fine because I'm no longer even remotely interested in him. It kinda turned me off and redirected my attention to this well to do, fine as hell, libra man is very interested in me.IP: Logged |
