Okay, so I met this Cap male on a social media around Oct.2013 started off sending direct messages to each other here and there, very casual... then mid Dec he asked if we could exchange phone #. We did and text constantly even talked on the phone a few times. (he would initiated every contact) the chemistry was AAAMAZING!!! Very deep stimulating conversations. Although we live in different states... we decided it would be really nice to exchange gifts on Valentine's day. Needless to say I was COMPLETELY smitten at that point. And things really started to 'take off' after that. Well, around April, I let the strong emotions I was developing get the best of me and foolishly —confessed?? my feelings for him. I was terrified of rejection... but, his reaction was surprisingly good... Acknowleging the strong chemistry he felt between us also. He assured me NO awkwardness and NOTHING changing between us. Things continued go well. During one of our conversations we were discussing commitment & connections, he was saying that, he took relationships/commitment VERY seriously...but went one to say how he's never really experienced a —true connection?? with anyone before. So, I said something along the lines of; ??In order to have a connection a one must truly be open to the possibility... willing to let our defenses go in order to make that connection.?? he responds ??Maybe I might not really want a connection.?? I'm thinking, WTF?!? lol. But, I calmly responed; —Yeah, maybe so??_?? Needless to say I didn't hear from him for 3 1/2 weeks following that exchange...lol. Then, out the blue, he calls me! talking as if we'd been in contact like before. We talked for like 3 1/2 hrs. He was telling me about how he'd been working crazy hrs even asked me was I —dating?? anyone... which I thought was a little strange considering only a few weeks had passed since we last spoke (kicking myself for not asking him the same question, because NOW I feel like he's met someone else) Because our communication is EXTREMELY spotty and infrequent now a days. He's still nice but, I can tell he's —pulled back?? a WHOLE lot compared to how we used to talk. When we talk now it feels kinda odd, almost forced, where as before it just flowed. Recently he's been periodically contacting me asking to 'facetime.' We have a few times, and each time, I get EXTREMELY nervous and seem to babble like an idiot...lol. No guy has EVER made me that nervous!! It's frustrating and e

It's frustrating and emotionally draining dealing with him because my feelings for him won't seem to go away. It's been weeks since our last Facetime and I always seem to fight the urge to contact him. I feel if I let him initiate contact it lets me know his interest level. Because his interest doen't seem to be as strong as it once was. I know it may be foolish of me but I still can't help but to wonder if this (whatever THIS is we have lol) has a glimmer of hope to turn into something 'definable' FEEDBACK IS MUCH NEEDED (perferably from Capricorn men) PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

What did you confess to him?

Deep emotions, admission of love, request to further the relationship should always be donr in person. Why? So you look into their eyes and read body language. This type of communication is often better than words.

I agree with truecap. You most likely scared him off. You just don't know him well enough to express those types of feelings.

@Truecap Well if I'm insane than he kinda also deserves that title as well cause he was coming on strong from day 1! I mean... who sends a Valentine's day gift to someone they've NEVER meet in person?! it didn't make me think like he's a weirdo. But, whatever... maybe "chemistry" was the wrong term to use. WAYYYY before I "confessed" having ANY type feelings toward this young man he would always make it a point to let me know how well we "clicked" and "vibed" so effortlessly and natural. And this was ONLY 3 or 4 mnths of us talking. It didn't scare me off, I didn't think "Gee, this guy sure is coming on strong." I know you weren't trying to be mean, and I truly appreciate your honest feedback.

@CreativeCap All I really "confessed" to him was that I was starting to "like" him. I wasn't "in love" or had any type of deep emotions... But, I felt that there could be a strong possiblity for it. Like I stated to @Truecap, HE was the one who came on VERY strong in the begining... I just wanted to let him know the feelings were indeed mutual. At one point he asked, how strong were my "feelings" for him? But i never answered that question. Guess i misread some things he did, maybe he was just being nice.*shrugs* thx for the feedback.

Still, that's Caps for you.
Coming on strong, getting hit in the face with realistic realizations and then backing off to a level that they are comfortable with.

I have sent gifts to people that are living far away. Some quite personal. It is something that I want to do at that moment and nothing will stop me until its done. Even if I sometimes realize later that what I did might have been a bit over the top...
I plead temporary insanity. 😄

You made the classic mistake of hearing what you want from a man instead of listening to what he says. He told you he didn't want a true connection.
Whether that means he just really enjoys your talks or if he just likes to screw around atm doesn't matter. He is not looking for the kind of connection that you expressed you wanted.

I would have questioned it.

But, in reality, you don't know if you have any attraction to someone until you meet them in person. It might seem great via text on on-line, but when you meet them, you might not actually feel anything for them.

I don't see anything wrong with the Valentine's gift, I just wouldn't put much weight on it. He might have sent the same thing to 20 girls he's talking to for all we know.

Just be careful believing in something that you're not seeing or feeling in person. Keep in mind if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Confessing your feelings like that for someone you've never met could leave you wide open to be taken advantage of by an on-line predator. Even with skype, etc. they could be a con artist looking for someone naive.

I'm not saying this guy is a predator, I just want you to be careful.

In my opinion, you don't actually know if you have feelings for someone unless you have a person to person relationship with them. Yes, I believe you can develop good friendships on line, but a romantic relationship via on-line only, no. What you think is a vibe or chemistry might only feel like BFF material when you meet. I'm sure you have guy friends you're not attracted to. I just don't want to see you get hurt by envisioning a fantasy in your head about someone you've never met.

I'm not being mean, but I am a realist. (and a scorpio rising, which makes me suspicious of everyone until I get to know them).
