I'm curious why you won't wait to meet him, you are moving to his state in a few months so there really isn't any need to rush but with that being said you've probably made up your mind to meet him already. Per my limited knowledge on Bipolar the disease is effecting your thought process and you may be in your manic phase which fuels your need to rush things or men may even trigger mania, it's really important you understand your triggers so the disease won't control you, it's important to understand yourself before you delve into dating or you are going to have a tough time maintaining a connection with a man, understanding yourself gives you a certain level of control over your life and control over how you pace yourself.
I am a pisces on the other side of this situation right now with scorpio. The problem is, I work for him! I have known my scorpio boss for 3 years. He knows that I am without question FULLY devoted to him and will do ANYTHING he assigns to me. I have honestly been to hell and back with him when it comes to completing his work requests. I'm talking about month-long commitments, late-night hours, revisions to work products, long trips, all of it. I have sacrificed my personal time and have put off social commitments to complete his work. I have done this all without complaint, and as time went on (I've been working for him for about 1 1/2 years now), he has turned around his "throwing everything at me but the kitchen sink" method into something more manageable for me. Also over the past 1 1/2 years, we have developed a very deep, close friendship where he shares confidential information about the business/personal life with me. He knows that I would never dare betray his trust. We have non-verbal communication that flows between the two of us, and we share a lot of the same perspectives about people, about life, most subjects... I LOVE our talks. It is never shallow but always very profound and meangingful. I savor every conversation we have, and I can spend every day just listening to him speak. He is very intriguing and brilliant. I without a doubt LOVE him to no end, and if he were to pursue me, without question I would completely surrender to him. Because he is my boss, I will not reveal my feelings as I cannot sacrifice the boss-subordinate relationship that we have.
This is where I see the scorp misinterpreting the unreciprocated level of love/committment from the other -If I don't answer his phone calls within 2 seconds (because I was on the phone with a client, or had to pee!) or respond to his emails (even if they are just emails or calls to chat and have nothing to do with work), I can feel that he gets hurt. He turns to stalker mode with repeated calls/emails until I answer. I feel that this is his insecurity of constantly needing to know over and over again that I am there for him, and I don't mind having to prove myself to him time and time again. What I am trying to say is that I can feel him starting to immediately DOUBT until I prove him wrong. Even after 1 1/2 yrs. He has no reason to doubt, but his scorp disposition naturally draws his emotions this way.

con't ....I feel like it was an emotional overload for him, and from the past when I do get too sensitive, and have admitted this to him before, that this was it. It had added up for him. I always said to him I appreciated his patience with me. It's not that I was pushing it with him to see what that limit was, or taking advantage of his good graces. I realize that within myself, but for him it may feel the opposite. And understandably. I realized this after I had time too to think about things more closely, remove myself from the sitution, and then next day expressed that to him as well, that I didn't blame him for having reached his limit. But his final text from the night before he said he was done responding, and it was like done done. Over. Stay out of my life kind of feeling.
I feel like at times if I do go more into myself as a person is when he shuts down. So when that happens, it really at times did feel our existence in each others lives was only superficial, surface only. If he asks, then fine. But if I offer more things about myself on my own, then it's not good.
Not that he doesn't have a right to feel the way he does, or what he feels like he shouldn't pull himself away. Because of course he does, ya know??? I want to understand him more, and want to know these things so I can be a person in his life that is supportive of him, etc. And sometimes arguments or these types of things help make ppl understand one another more when they do happen. But what I sense is one of two things. He kept much of this to himself and wasn't honest in the past when he started feeling overloaded by me....which I admitted, and owned up to him about, and am working on that for myself....and then this was it the final straw, and why I feel it came out of left field. Or, I hit the raw nerve...like telling him about who he is or how I perceive him and he became defensive, and shot back something he knew would hurt me or make me feel questioned by him. Putting me in the same boat.
Regardless, I've heard nothing since that text. His last one. I'm a deep thinker (surprise surprise coming from a Cancer huh??? LOL) So I do reflect, and really do see other's peoples sides. When I'm wrong, I fess up. I admit to it, and have no problems genuinely apologizing. And I did that over the next few days, a few texts to explain that to him. And I didn't expect a response, but I felt though too if he realized I was sincere, he would say "hey, I get it. Need some time
