almost a year. we know the groundwork of each other. enough to know we'd want to at least stay friends. intimacy is completely different. it's kind of like we knew each other as friends, were interested in something more, then finally committed to try dating which seems to have changed everything. for better? it's still too soon to know yet, or even guess. I'm not really asking about whether the sex was too soon, though.
I'm a scorpio male, and I think my reactions would also be shared by my scorpio friends.
Not the painful kind of shy, but the attentive, ready and willing kind of shy. lol Does that make any sense?
I find that quality very attractive when it's an expression of someone's true self. It's very rare that I see it, perhaps because as another user here pointed out, some people will try to exploit it. My boss for example (virgo male) is very abrupt, aggressive, and harsh with most everyone at my company. But it's a kind of defense mechanism, and not who he really is. My first day he tried to establish a kind of intimidation, but I was very relaxed with him from the beginning and I sincerely liked him. When it became clear to him that my enjoyment of his company was genuine, the sort of shyness you're talking about came out. Any time he comes by he's always very quiet and modest, very funny, and almost heartbreakingly childlike in our interactions. He's even reluctant to ask me to do things that he could probably handle himself if he weren't unusually busy. As he's talking to me he gets very nervous and shifts all around my office, and I have to reassure him that I certainly don't mind. Although if anyone else pops into my office while he's there, instantly the teeth come back out again. It's just how he protects that purer part of himself. But anyway believe me, that sort of shyness is irresitable to happy scorpios. But it has to come from a real and deeper part of you. It can't be faked. That part of people is also naturally mysterious and intriguing to any scorpio. As someone else pointed out above, mystery and intrigue are also important.
and yes... the sex. I'm just wondering what your hypothetical reactions might be
All of the scorpios I know, myself included, trust our feelings above all else. Above rules, above sense data, and certainly above popular opinion. If he felt the same connection you felt, then you have nothing to worry about. He'll chart the destination of your relationship to someplace beyond just sex, and he'll use those feelings as his guiding star. But I personally wouldn't push or force anything. All of the scorpios I know, myself included, prefer to let things happen naturally when it comes to any kind of relationship (even though we're the complete opposite in many other arenas). I know this probably seems overboard, but we're literally disgusted by any kind of interaction that seems even in the slightest bit fake or robotic, especially in ourselves.
I LOVE what you said about Scorpios, phoenix. So, so true. I have been with and live with a scorpio male for almost 4 yrs. I'm a cancer, but I couldn't have said it better myself.
Creepy, I would strongly advise against anything fake...or pushng anything at all. Just let it ride. The more you do, the better the response. Don't get me wrong, DO NOT be a push-over either. That is almost just as much of a turn off to them as being fake. They see it as a sign of weakness. Be independant, but not so much that your ignore. Give a little mystery for sure. It's a turn on, but not so much that it seems as though your hiding something. Your undivided attention will be much apprecaited. As will his freedom to be alone every now and then, too. They are very private when they want to be...so don't pry.

awe... that sounds so nice, phoenix. so what's this about happy scorpio's. as opposed to unhappy scorpio's. what are you talking about here?
Thank you, Moonbaby & MissMorals.
CP, unhappy scorpios are generally obsessive, and about everything. It's a good indication that a scorpio is still looking for joy. That sort of scorpio is likely to mistake you for the source of his joy and he'll twist your relationship into just another obsession. It's best to just avoid these types of scorpios.
The happiest of happy scorpios are playful and spiritual, but no less ambigious and mysterious. Rather than that piercing, broody stare they have a bit of a twinkle in the eye and a mischievious smile. They're just as intensely emotional and powerful as they're unhappy counterparts, but these scorpios "seethe" joy, and their power is transformative. In a way they can be just as disturbing as any other scorpio. When you interact with one, you may find yourself opening up and awakening in completely unexpected ways, and that can be scary. But it's a kind of growing pain, and the scorpio will find ways to help you through it.
