As some of you remember I was talking to a Sag/Scorpio online. Since then things have changed and I'm not too keen on speaking to him anymore. Last night I told him how I felt uncomfortable talking to him now, and said "even though it doesn't matter. I'm just being honest." And he said "All I ever wanted from ya." Wouldn't you take that as meaning he thought I was hiding something, etc? I responded saying I always had been, and he brushed it off like he meant it in general.

I shouldn't be this "excited" about something like this but he's been so mum on things. The reason I'm attempting to read anything into it is because I have before with him and been right, so...

Help? Slap some sense into me? Agree, disagree?

sounds like he was trying to state his intentions when he felt like you felt like you'd thought it was going nowhere.

What do you mean?

I must be a dolt because his intentions would've never occurred to me through that.

Well we can only guess and this may be totally wrong.

But as I interpret it, you saying "it doesn't matter" could have been taken as an insult to him. As if you are downplaying whatever relationship you two had.

And when he says, "All I ever wanted from ya," I would read that as something like a counter-jab. He's saying, "If it doesn't matter, it never mattered, and you should have told me that sooner."

Sounds like it does matter to him.

*wild guess*

Oh I wonder if that's how he took it. I meant that my opinion didn't matter because we'd never met. Oh..

The conversation still continued but it didn't really end happily... or negatively.

He cares and I wouldn't say he was distrustful of you; that's the route Scorpios take when they feel their emos have been exposed and they don't think the feeling was reciprocated, so they save what needs to be saved (in their opinion) and play along as if they've been on top of the game all the time. ("I liked you but not really since I had plan B muhaha) That's just a Scorpio show. They do it constantly. (the insecure ones, or the ones that have been hurt before) They want to appear as if they are threading the ground they've chosen, "I did this & that with intention, testing you, etc" Not to say Scorpios don't do this, just there are those who fall for someone hard & quickly, like instant attraction, and open up. ("open up" = take this relatively )

I saw your post in LLCentral so I decided to travel the distance and reply let me know if this makes sense to you!

He was a Sag sun, Sag Venus, Mercury in Scorpio and Mars in Libra or Scorpio (although I'm pretty sure it's Scorpio) with Moon in Capricorn.

Uhm, I know that tactic quite well V. I play it often. (except not really proud of it or anything.)

I want to just tell him I like him, and I know he doesn't like me like that but I'm afraid that's only going to lead to more disappointment and actually never speaking again. Especially since I feel I've been moved down his roster (of priorities, and yet I still feel he genuinely cares about me)

I guess I just don't know how to proceed from here. He said "Sorry for bothering you." twice. And I told him that he wasn't, that I was just blunt and I liked clarity and knowing if we were on the same page. He didn't respond to that nor did I expect him to.

Just tell him you like him Just that,and look him in the eyes. Eyes don't lie. The Sag in him will appreciate the open, simple approach and the heavy hitters the baring aspect of it. And you'll know how to take it from there, he'll either be for it or not. Doesn't get any easier than that.

We still haven't met. There's no "eyes" to look at, rofl. It makes the situation seem all the more tedious to me, but you know.. I'm human. I have emotions.

I said "Sigh." (It's our thing) and he asked what, but I said "Too many things, no point in explaining." and he said "ight." I'm pretty sure he knows. He should know by now... wouldn't you know if you told someone "Up to you if you want to talk to me" and you said "But I don't want it to be just up to me, that means you can go either way and I don't want that."

Supposing is tricky, the root of every misunderstanding. (bolded)

I would know. But, I am also a girl. And Libra Asc who can read between the romance lines. (italics)

There's undertones in that "Up to you if you want to talk to me"? 'Cause I felt that way but I for some reason didn't understand what he was getting at. He said that to me after he apologized for being mean. Oh. But to not go back after days? I guess that's a test and I failed it so far?

Oh, yes it could very well be a test. But it could a cry for you to make a move.
I' d advise to be bold like every Aries but I suppose the online surroundings make it a bit problematic.

Hanna,

It doesn't matter what the reasons are. If you don't want to talk to him, then please don't. You don't owe him any explanation. Time to move on.

Hanna why can't you guys meet? Different states or parts of the country? If you talk to him everyday and you like him, either you take it further or just stop it, because it'll just end with pain eventually.

So yeah, best cut it off if you feel it's the best thing to do. Where did you guys 'meet?'

An online dating site. He was cute and one of the few guys who didn't ask me sexual questions within the first few days/messages. We're in different states. I'd be willing to meet but he hasn't brought it up, and I thought if I do I would scare him off. So yeah, I just cut it off. Especially considering his behavior and our rapport took a real nose dive when he was mean to me for no reason. No big deal. I still feel connected to him (you know when someone's energy is "on" you? Or is that cray talk?) but that'll rub off eventually.

Why not meet? Life's too short for what ifs. And you guys have talked for over a month daily right? So obviously there's some kind of connection. Have you skyped?

How was he mean? He's probably developing feelings and is alittle frustrated because you're not there in the same city, hence the behaviour.

I say go for it. I mean who knows, this could end up being someone special. You never know right?

The two men I got really attached to entered my life in the most random ways. Sometimes fate is funny, and of course it's not crazy.

why not just tell him you like him and ask if he wants to meet up? if he has a problem with that he isnt the guy for you.

I know. I don't know... it's terrifying! But exciting. What if we really clicked? No, we haven't skyped. I'm also hesitant because I'm starting to have suspicions that he has some kind of girlfriend elsewhere. He used to text me all day for that month, and then he was mean, and now he only talks to me on Facebook. At night. Weird, right? I asked him why and he said because that's when I'm usually on. Hmmmm........ -.-

How was he mean - well he's usually the initiator of conversation. One day we were texting and he just randomly said "I think I'm gonna go. You have a good night." Never ends the conversation like that. I said "Mkay" because to me it's texting... he goes "k bye" and I thought he was being silly, so I said "Lol go! Have a good night too." I meant it. I wanted him to have a good night, lol. But after he wasn't texting me I wondered if he was mad. So I gave him space for a day and the next and popped up on Facebook. I said "hi?" and he was being really short and bitchy with me. He said it was because of "lady problems" and that this girl from his hometown hadn't responded to a letter he'd written her.

So there's a double whammy - not only is he being mean, he's like "Oh by the way there's this other girl." Which I mean it's online, so I figured people have lives and I figure there's other girls but that's all I want to do with someone I like - figure. Lol. But I handled it maturely and I said "Wow, that's really rude of her." you know I was gentle and I didn't go 98 on him. The next day he was still the same so I just said "Maybe when you get out of this funk you and I can continue getting to know one another but I don't want to pressure you into talking because then it's uncomfortable for both parties. You know where to reach me if you ever want to, and if you don't I understand. Even though I'm a random person playing a very minor role in your life, I still wish you the best."

So a day goes by and then he finally TEXTED me an apology. I can't remember exactly but he ended saying I could text him if I wanted. That was so confusing to me! I said "Up to me means you could either way, and I don't want that." Then somewhere down the line I told him there was no point in us talking (because he never brought up meeting, we usually talk about HIM, and the fact there's this new "ghost" girl in the picture - but I didn't say this.) and he asked why not. However at that point I was getting a tattoo and couldn't respond right away, so he texted me again "Please don't hate me". Aw man.... I mean obviously I don't hate him. And I wouldn't hate somebody over something petty like this but I'm frustrated one) I don't really know where we stand or what direction this is going in and two) he doesn't live here, and he wouldn't do a long distance relationship because that's why he broke up with his last girlfriend. 3) What does that girl have ANYTHING to do with how he treats me?!

Apologies for the long winded post.... please don't rip me apart (to anyone reading in general) if you're in disagreement with how I handled and have been handling this. Practice makes perfect.

You're getting attached to him aren't you?
Like it's pretty obvious that all this is bothering you, so I really think you need to lay everything on the table and see what happens. Tell him how you feel and ask what's going on. I mean you made at least a couple of threads about the guy right?
This other girl might be real or fake or whatever, but it doesn't matter because you obviously have feelings for him. And if I were you, I wouldn't give up until I know there's absolutely no possibility. I'd tell him how I feel.

I should have just told him the other night instead of saying this. But aren't you supposed to tell them how you feel when it seems like they feel the same way, instead of when they're paying you less attention? I'm not used to confessing things... I usually just figure it out on my own.

It doesn't feel right yet but... if the opportunity presents itself I will say something. I just think it would look bad if one day I was like "Don't talk to me" and the next day I go "I like you!" You know? Seems like I'm only doing it for attention when I'm not. I need space first to get clear in the head.
