Here I am, on this board...Everyone's confused about their love lives, and we're all here discussing our heads off as if it'll change anything. At least we try.
After my intro, here's my rant. I'm dating a pisces guy (I'm scorpio) for almost 2 months now...It all began fine, he was a gentleman, taking it slow and all that. I'm all up for taking it slow. He showed more and more emotion/interest each date. He's consistent, he calls when he says he will, he shows up--no BS there.
I waited for sex...like for about a month. But the closer we're getting physically, or maybe--the more time is passing by, the more distanced its beginning to feel emotionally. I could tell a few wks ago that he was getting attached. And perhaps he realized it too and has been a tad cooler ever since. I brought it up and he said he's given his heart away too easily before, and he doesnt want to do it again. He was very firm and clear on that part. Which could be ok, but I felt cheated. As though sex is fine, no problem there, but emotions he will withhold. What kind of deal is that? Its just weird. I'm too scared to bring it up again. I do think I'll have to pull back sexually to prevent myself from getting hurt.
I don't know--I know he's a decent guy, he's not a jerk like those guys who pull back and act weird. I can tell he's sensitive and tender. Which is why I'm patient.
But I'm also getting inecure and need emotional reassurance. I cant "ask" for that. 1-I'm too proud, 2-It should happen naturally.
Do you other scorps see a problem here? Should I be alarmed? Anyone been throught his before? I'm just not used to a guy taking it slower than me, or a guy being emotionally vulnerable. I almost cant relate.
Hi emeraldgem! I was at the Pisces board. They're so vague sometimes😛 There were some nice responses...I thought I'd try the Scorp board.
Yes, exactly...I am losing faith in him. It all started normal, progressed nicely, and now all of a sudden restrictions and withdrawals.
I agree that its not my fault, I was hurt too but I dont dump that on him (hey who hasnt been!). So he needs to deal with it. My sad suspicion is that he isnt ready for a relationship. But then why is he here? For sex? I'm disgusted by guys who want sex all the time. I told him I feel vulnerable when I open up sexually and he said "if it makes you feel that way we dont have to do it, I am not forcing you" but still he initiated it afterwards and never checked in with me emotionally.
He as so intuitive and in tune with me at the beginning now its weird. Its not that he doesnt care--I can tell he does. But I'm not in for puzzles and dissecting people. I might break up with him soon but I don't want to. I truly like him and the chemistry's great. ALl in all he's kind and caring.
But I deserve to be shown interest/affection/care/love, whatever you call it.
Ahhhh I think I'm going to write him a "pretend" email that I'll never send. I'm so restless about this and wont likely see him face to face until Friday.
Thing is yes, I'm intuitive...but he is too! he should be--and was. What the heck.
Everyone on here is so nice, I can always rely on people here. There were a few bad apples too, but really, 90% is nice. Thanks emeraldgem🙂 love to you too.
I just dont get people. Everyone's so damaged, so scared. Why even try then? It makes me lose hope. I'm soon going to give up completely on men😢
I see! The censorship makes it "chicken" instead of something else😛
No I was just venting on how everyone is hurt and I hate it when it happens again and again. I am on the side of being open and taking the risk too. So dont get me wrong...
