can gemini's really stay this detached?

This topic was created in the Gemini forum by surferpisces on Thursday, June 22, 2017 and has 20 replies.
My friends of benefits for the last 3 months is a gemini sun, taurus venus. we sleep over each other houses around 4 nights a week, and do social things together (like a couple) on weekends and so on.


He says he cares about me in a friend way, and vice versa. We cuddle a lot, in fact he likes it more than i do. We are quite close and he has reached a point where he will tell me quite personal things.

But at the end of the day he only labels us "friends with benefits". No feelings for him apparently at all. He says he wants to stay single.


Please no comments about me. Im curious about gemini, are you guys really able to be so close to someone yet not feel anything strongly? I know air signs do carry a flair of detachment to things, but we've been at this now for 3 months....


yes they are and he is.

You haven't touched his emotional trigger...and FWB really devalues a woman most times so just consider that next time if you truly want a relationship. This goes for anyone out there who says they are "fine"with FWB then start asking about the guy's feelings/intentions. Just be honest with your self and what you want, don't settle for crumbs. Ok I'm done ?

When are you stupid women going to realise that a FWB arrangement doesn't guarantee that the relationship will eventually transform into an exclusive one?


So, you're developing feelings. Tough shit, if he doesn't feel the same way. You should have known what you were getting yourself into. No one forced you into it.

How to differentiate an fwb from a committed relationship?


I need to learn the rules now.... Damn I hate this dating stuff

Most men tell you ahead of time.


"Not looking for anything serious" etc..

"are you guys really able to be so close to someone yet not feel anything strongly?"


Any guy is. You are practically a free prostitute. Time is not a problem, since you gave yours for nothing. He could talk at you as much as he likes...does he even look at you when he's talking?


Do not enter such an arrangement unless it is with someone you DO NOT and CANNOT see as a potential partner.
Women are far more likely to get attached after sex if they orgasm most of the time.


You are playing a losing game.

More than likely he's feeling more than what he's saying. We try not to put too much into words verbally it protects us. If he's spending that much time and is invested then he values ur time and friendship. For us friendship is more valuable than someone we occasionally fuck.

Sweet smile
I'm a gemini and I can't talk about my feelings with someone I care about. I find it very difficult but I can open up easily with friends. It takes someone to force my barriers down to get me to open up. Otherwise I am very detached even if i have feelings, i won't tell you and you will unlikely know. I had a friends with benefits and got angry at him after a year and he was like wtf cause he never realized i had any feelings....

I've been with a Gemini sun a month like this. We stay over, we spend time together, friends have labelled us as couple, but we have not discussed it yet. He seems to want to spend a lot of time with me, yet he is very distant in terms of talking about stuff, sharing his thoughts, emotions. It's weird. I was wondering how long would it take until I understand whether it's just a short casual fling or whether he is serious about me. Well, it seems that we might be in the same situation in the next month and the next etc according to your post ?



Me and this gemini have discussed where we are. He has expressed his emotions. Odd that yours isn't being communicative. hope you guys work something out x

Do you have feelings? I know you mentioned no comments about you but I'm curious..

Also just re read this and I think considering the amount of time he is spending with you and the cuddling part, he def has some feels. He may not want a relationship but I 100% think there are some feels after 3 months of spending so much time together.


He may not want to verbalize it though. For me personally, once I say it out in the open it becomes "real" if that makes sense..
Spending "plenty of time together" means losing interest soon. SATURATION and boredom is the result, instead of craving the contact and earning it!


Men don't appreciate what's easily accessible and available all the time. To be honest, I don't either.

(Taurus sun with Venus/Mercury in Gemini here...) Well, women behaving all like crybabies because they happened to be born with a pussy between their legs and they feel that they can exchange its usage for stuff, when they don't get things in exchange, they get all mad... What is exactly the impact it makes in the times that you spend together if you are under Plan A or Plan B or etc? Does it change anything in the relationship between you and the desire you feel for each other being called this or that? Does it really? I thought the main thing was the fact that you spend time together with your significant other and that it is quality time, and not how you call it. I can't understand these "proceedings" to things, either you are or you're not, it's pretty black and white. If I'm spending my day with you, is because I chose to not be with someone else, so stop the bitching already. These types of things actually push men away and make us lose interest, and then starts the cheating and all the f** up stuff, women are the starters of all the (avoidable) drama.

Oh please. Asking questions makes you cheat??


What a lame ass excuse.
Stop sleeping with him and a ignore him for a few days that's how I got my Gemini to commit. I'm a libra and I'm all about relationships. Me and my gem started off just like that he kept telling me he wasn't ready. So without a warning on my birthday weekend back in 2015 I ignored him and had a great time. I finally answer to him about 3 days later and when I did he said he missed me and couldn't stop thinking of me & asked can I be his girlfriend. And if that don't work drop him !
honestly, I have alwayed been of the belief if something doesnt evolve into a relationship after three months....its never going to.


With Gem's...different story. They are so malleable. I had a best gemini guy friend for one year, then we were friends with bens for 6 months and now dating.


He always acted super detatched up until I told him I was going to start dating other men. It took one pic of me being on date sent to him from a friend for him to committ.
Guys will be detached until they have some type of emotional connection...Their Venus may hold the clue ?
Yes girl I was at this one point in my time where I was so detached I started questioning whether something was wrong with me. And then I actually tried to make myself feel feelings.


But anyways those guys who say they don't want nothing serious... yeah screw them. Just because he had told you ahead of time don't make it right. What you should do is detach yourself and treat him exactly like what he is apparently only useful for. IF it ain't about sex then screw him. Cut off the cuddling, cut off the intimacy, and just find a way to enjoy simple, baseless sex. When it's done, get up and go home and go to sleep soundly. If he text you and it ain't about sex, don't text him back or one word his ass. Don't do this to get him to care. Do it because you enjoy it. Then he'll start complaining why "good guys" get treated like crap LOL I'm done. Rant over.
