Here's my situation. Around september I will be relocating to Los Angeles from Texas. I already have friends from Austin out in LA.
One of them is a up on the rise indie director. He's friends in real life and on Facebook with this girl. They are just friends BTW he has a girlfriend.
I've interacted with her from time to time in my buddy's Facebook posts. We've even flirted a little bit.
From her posts on my buddy's FB page and then the ones on her own page, she seems like a really cool girl. She's very open about things even put her date of birth on her page.
Anyway I used cafeastrology to find out her birth chart. She is a Virgo Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Mars In Virgo, Venus in Leo, Taurus Rising.
I am a Sag moon as well with Mars in Sag, Venus in Libra and Leo Rising.
Anyway, I'll be meeting her in person soon when I move to LA and hang out with my friend. She is really good friends with my buddy's girlfriend.
Let's say hypothetically speaking, she shows interest when we meet. Which wouldn't be off the beaten path, cause I briefly dated a girl with the same chart minus virgo sun. It didnt work out with the other girl cause she was relocating to another state for a job.
Anyway here is my problem. This girl is super duper social. I am social too, but not as much as her. I need a lot of downtime to recharge. Cause unless I'm with people who I feel comfortable around, socializing can be very draining. I'm always feeling the pressure to be funny and entertaining. You know the whole wanting people to like me spiel, guess that is where my leo rising comes in.
She also likes to go out and get her drink on during the week. Nothing wrong with that. But my problem is I can't drink due to a shakeup of my organs from being hit by a truck. In layman's terms meaning everytime I've drank I shot of alcohol, I get immediately cramps or sick.
So I kind of developed an allergic reaction to alcohol. Which makes going out to bars with friends more awkward when I have to explain to them why I can't drink.
I want to stress I dont mind going out to bars at all. But I dont want to do it every weekend. I find that to be boring, but Im not saying I am a boring homebody. I just mean when we go out on the weekend let's do something different. Routine bores me, hence the sag moon.
Like go bowling, the movies, lazer tag, work out at the gym, art shows, dance lessons, maybe take tae-kwon-do lessons, walks at
What the crap? It didnt post all of what I said. Anyway -
walks at night on the beach, stuff like that.
So here is my question for the super extrovert gals - If you met a guy you liked who was willing to compromise and go out to the bars with you but with the expectation though of doing different every weekend, also being he is cool with being social with your friends but needs time by himself to recharge, is that an ok compromise?
Forgot to mention she is turning 28 in September, which is two years away from the big 3-0. I'm already well in my thirties but I'm not going to say exactly where.
To be honest, I normally dont consider seriously dating 20 something girls. But women my age that are single have kids. Dating single mothers is not something that interests me.
And also me and this Virg gal share a bond of having gone through the same personal tragedy. But she is more open about it on her FB and I am not. But I feel like she would understand me in a way that most girls may not be able to since we share that experience. It's nice to be with someone who gets you on that level.
So when we eventually meet if the girl likes me, should I pull trigger and pursue this? Or am I asking for a trainwreck Runaway Bride Hugh Hefner style ?
I am a lot more social than my aqua. He'd prefer to be a homebody. We made an unofficial deal that he'd be more social with me and I'd be more of a homebody with him.
I think if she really likes you and you find lots of fun things to do like you listed, she should be okay with all that. Just don't expect her to change all at once and eventually, the more she wants to be with you, the more okay she'll be doing things that don't involve alcohol. She might actually begin to enjoy it.
I'm not really a homebody person per se'. I just like to do activities with smaller groups of people. And as I said if we are gonna go out, drinking every week or weekend to me is boring when there is so much else to do.
I'm an easygoing person. I'll go to the moon to make my significant other happy. I just think once I've proven their happiness is my #1 priority, I expect a little leeway.
I dont mind being pushed out of my comfort zone. That is one of the major reasons I am going to LA. To challenge myself and not be my same boring self anymore.
Will being around different groups of her friends every week scare the living hell out of me if things happen between us? Oh yes it will. And I will be working over-time to make sure her friends dont think I'm a douche.
But the pressure in trying to do that is rather daunting. We'll see how it goes if something does happen. My biggest nightmare is my tendency to put my foot all the way in mouth without meaning to. See, the more nervous I am around people I dont know from adam, I tell jokes hardcore just so they will like me. But my social nervousness in the past has pushed me to tell a joke that goes too far.
I'd rather have this problem then dating a introvert. That is even more draining to me than dating an extrovert. Having to carry the conversation all the time with a girl makes me batsh-t nuts. I would rather have someone who is easy to talk to. And nothing like that never comes without a price tag metaphorically speaking.
@DMV - I'm starting to get cynical when it comes to astrology charts. I have more sag in my chart then she does plus I'm a Leo rising and she is a Taurus rising I would assume all the fire in my chart would make me more social then she. BUt it is the opposite LOL
@Everevolving - Are you talking about my age? If so, that is WAY off. I'm old, but not that old. 40 is still years away.
I'm not gonna lie, the age difference between me and her kind of puts me off. But I have to follow my own advice in regards to no guts, no glory. I'll have to take a chance that I may get screwed over. I'm just tired of being scared and cautious.
I'm not getting any younger and I dont want to be what Chris Rock talks about here -
Are earth signs with sag moons romantic at all? I just want to know how to navigate that wave for future reference if things went good.
I know earth signs have a tougher emotional nature, so I would assume romantic stuff in relationship is *blech* to them. Just wondered if the sag moon softens that characteristic or enhances.
I know one time I tried a sort of romantic gesture with my semi-ex cap. We were having out talking in my car in a empty parking lot at some movie theater around 2 am or so.
Then me and her's favorite song by one of our favorite bands came on -
Are you talking about a male who had an earth sun and air moon that you dated?
I dont consider any one who has an air moon to be serious relationship material. I cant stand to be with a robot. I hate cold and distantness on a regular basis which was what it was like with my semi-ex cap. She would drop out of contact for two weeks, then get back in touch like nothing happened,
I never knew what the exact status of our relationship was as I am never one to push things. I like the other person to make the first move on making the "are we serious" talk.
I'm really good about giving women space in relationships. But a two week gap of no phone/in-person contact without explanation is ridiculous. I put up with her BS for almost a year cause I thought we had a connection otherwise.
I finally wised up and cut her loose. She is super bi-polar each time we run into each other now. One time it's super friendly, the next she acts like I'm the plague.
I really do like to try to remain on good terms at least civilly with exes. But man my disdain of her is so much that I couldn't even use her as a f-Buddy. I mean, this relationship happened 9 years ago, and I still have emotional scars from her head trips.
BTW she is a Gem Moon so to me explains the moodiness. I think the only purpose of air moons is sex cause otherwise they dont know how to be in a relationship at all.
Dont get me wrong, I dont want a drama queen either. But at least I know that someone gives a crap about me then someone who could care less if I was around.
