confusing

"how much time before i get back in touch with him?"
Don't make the next move - let him make the next move. What I think you need to do is let him miss you. Let him realize the void in his life by the time you and he spent together. If he doesn't call you, then you know there's something else that meets the eye. BUT if he calls you, that means he's missed you. But when/if he does call you, don't get overly excited and start calling him frequently again...just keep it casual, maybe a call a week or so. He needs to feel that you're worth "chasing".

He thinks you are being clingy and are expecting too much. He probably likes you ... just not in that way.

I generally don't like clingy friends either. Although I email/call my best friend almost daily, and speak to my roomie everyday, they are exception. I generally like to spread the love around with various friends. I have a hard time if I spend too much time with one person, other than my lovah. I get restless and resentful.

Let him initate. Make out and do things with other friends.

Sometimes, I can go a year without talking to a friend then get back in touch and be all buddy, buddy again.

Friendship is fluid. When he is ready, he will be back. Use the time to improve your other relationships.

Make out

hee! Apparently, my mind is elsewhere.

IMHO, he is just being playful to see how it may possibly twist. He will come back and go again until you decide to take the call. my guess is he likes you. Esp bcoz he mentioned you need a partner. may be he is unable to make up his mind yet. so trying to twist the situation without taking much of an effort from his side.

Now ask yourself if you want to keep it platonic forever. Or are you someway interested in him? If so, as usual you take lead. Libran will follow. and Scorp men, from what i hv learned, dont play games like this. They will emotionally manipulate you and pull u more close to them and make sure you dont escape. 😉

Sometimes friends need to go apart for awhile so they can come back stronger. I have had many friendships that have undergone such times apart. Strong friendship just is and doesn't need constant attention. The strongest friendships I have are probably people who I have lost contact with and eventually refound.

I think you are being dishonest about your intentions towards him.

*** Esp bcoz he mentioned you need a partner.

This is what makes me think that he is not interested in her. If he was, he would have just stepped in not stepped back. If I say that to a guy and back off, it is a clear indication that I am not interested in them and they are putting too much pressure on me.

JMO and YMMV

and Scorp men, from what i hv learned, dont play games like this.

Are you kidding me? This is what Scorps do. It is what they are known for.

Scorp games are not in this mentioned pattern as i hav observed. They play psycho games not mind games. Manipulate you in all ways to serve him. And to test if its a scorpio, all you have to tell us if he is mysterious in nature. Mysterious even after 5-6 years of friendship. 😉

"U need a partner" comment, imho is showing his shy side to accept his interest in her. Just to start off a talk on that subject and get to know whats going deep inside her to help him make a better decision.
