My Eros and Psyche are missing 
Virgogotme: "Do I think it was push/pull? YES. You will know the answer to this for sure within a week or so, (hmm, maybe even sooner) because, I guarantee you he is reeling from the logical and sincere response you answered with"
Thanks..Yes I thought it may have something to do with powerplay. You see the problem with this guy, he cannot admit to his mistakes. Even if he knows he is in the wrong he will NEVER admit to it. He has a major chip on his shoulders. That has been the battle. So my guards went up ever so slightly but I am all for giving someone a chance to prove me wrong. Time and time again it was working on his schedule but did he acknowledge this?, never..he blamed me for never being available..that is really not the case. I know lovely geniune virgo's who after I left them text me several times and phoned to check if I got home ok. He always said text me when you get home but never acknowledged the text. It is so rude when people do that.
"What you need to do is decide, whether or not he is worth it to reconsider. Whose to say he won't do this again when another issue in his head comes up, and you have gotten the opportunity to get closer? It's a shame it had to play out this way though. Good luck. Keep us posted"
You are right VGM..I don't want to reconsider anymore quite frankly. If someone pulls a stunt like that it has tainted the relationship and it can never go back to the way it was. Especially since I know he won't do a thing to rectify the situation, as he is never wrong according to him. I can't pretend it never happened. He has had several chances. He pulled a stunt like that when he disappeared for 4 days. He tried his level best to make me believe that it was my mistake somehow when I know it wasn't. I was partly to blame but for that I apologised. Like I said it was an awkward situation one that I do not want to publicly declare so I didn't know how to handle it. I handled it the best way I could but he never apologised neither did he offer an explanation.
He will be fine with some easy girl who hangs on his every word. Truth be told, I don't think he's ever had to deal with a real woman. He was fine until he decided in his own head to start tripping on power and authority. Good luck to him whatever he does. I for sure do not want to lead that life style he has to offer.
I will keep you posted of course.

All respectively:
In Relationships = Pisces, Virgo, Taurus (But ridiculously attracted to Scorpios and fire signs)
In Partnerships = Virgo, Scorpio, Leo, Cancer
As Friends/Companions = Gemini, Leo, Cancer, Virgo, Libra
In Families = Libra, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn
And the award goes to....VIRGO! (To my chagrin)

and too commercialised..puts pressure on couples to do something on the day. Love should be given all year around..not just for one day. Empty gestures mean nothing to me. However given that it was Valentines day and what it represents (we weren't exactly on proper talking terms), I still sent him a Happy V Day text message. He never even responded. He can go to hell for all I care...
And Shaks..I have a lot of Virgo friends..as bloody annoying as they can be..they are geniune folk. And I love the truth however brutal it may be. I liked this guy's consistency. He has majory insecurity issues..I think once he has sorted out what he truly wants he will be fine..but he has a looooooong way to go..
I read a really good quote this morning. It came at the right moment:
Why ponder thus the future to foresee,
and jade thy brain to vain perplexity?
Cast off thy care, leave God's plans to him -
He formed them all without consulting thee
Anyways, thanks for all your comments
One day I shall post a bloody success story..lol....let the real men step up to the challenge.

I'll sure get the drink, hopefully it will put a smile in my face
Hi read up on most of the virgo/sag connect, seems to doom it. Any one has any positive things to say about this combo, and if any negative what they are, if you were a female sag. Tx.

"It could be a good trait for fire signs and bad trait for earth signs lol"
no wonder my first reaction was to deny such a trait in me lol.
Aren't you a mixture of both?
V-DAY is so overrated, IMO.....I mean it is such a commercialized holiday... I myself appreciate the gesture but do not celebrate it myself and I am a woman....I would much prefer that a man loves shows me daily....Its the little things that count more to me - dinner just because, flowers whenever, A kiss and a hug, a nice card/text/email/im/VM just to say I am thinking of you....
Those are the moments that I feel most thought of and cared for, not because tv commercials and everybody and their momma run around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to prove a point.....
You need to just talk to him and tell him how you feel (not about V-DAY), but about how him dealing/not dealing with his past relationships is affecting you two??_. and not in an email/text, do it in person or over the phone??_??_Have a convo, communicate??_..I mean if he is stressed maybe he used that excuse because he had no money or maybe he really gets depressed around that holiday....
Whatever the case, don't be so emotional over V-Day or not getting a e-card??_.A lot of things can be hashed out if two people just talk candidly??_..

Being IN love is a stronger feeling than loving someone. you can love someone and not be in love with them. i.e: i love my guy friends yet i am not IN love with them, you see what i'm saying? but trust that if he does tell you he's in love with you (and that he shows he too, of course), he means it. scorps don't throw around the "in love" thing around. in fact, i personally kind of hate to admit to being in love when i am, because it such a strong thing to me.
and like ray's heart said, basically, don't dwell on that past relationship. they're two different people and even different signs. if you have that thing with the pisces in the back of your mind then you're not going anywhere.
oh & how long have you been with this Scorpio?

Hey sag gal, fallin for my ex's cousin. Looooooooong story. Any way he apparently liked me while he was giving his cuz advice on how to
be with me, me being the older women. He kinda fell for me after reading my correspondence, and hearing about me through his cuz. He never let on, and I never knew, for I never met him. I have spoken with him now for months over the phone, as me and his cuz had a nasty break up. Which in fact he felt bad about, because he felt his cuz was gonna be good with me and not act like a jerk, or else he would have never helped him out. So out of some guilt, he comforted me not physically and was there for me big time, whe his cuz broke my heart. Through that time, he did admit, he liked me but knew I loved his cuz. Now me and him are much closer in age, and come to find out his dad was my godfather.WE actually grew up around each other, know many of the same folks but never met.. We have a great friendship now, and I NOT looking to or wanting to, now have feelings for him. Hes night an day from his cheating, playboy young immature cousin. We really are more on each others level. Me not wating to date right= now, even though Im in a much better place now since the break up months ago, we are just a firecracker away from gettin it poppin. LOL.. I have my reservations, but I feel he might be that one, and would hate to pass him up because of my gripe with men, and also his past connection to his cuz. If nothin else I have a great friend. My real question is him being a virgo, are they sincere? do they usually go after their love interest first, and he seems really attentive.. So with my sag sign how good can this get, or better yet tell me his positives and negatives, so I can be on the watch.. Thank dxpnet familia...
