I've had an intense on and off again "connecting with a Scorpio man" dynamic for quite some time now. Finally, he started speaking to me for several solid weeks. Then a buddy of his saw another man and myself flirting (I am not in a relationship). The next time I saw the Scorpio, he wouldn't even look at me. I brought him a small, thoughtful gift several days later and he responded by avoiding me for several weeks. Finally, I found out he has a girlfriend. Now he mostly leaves me alone and especially avoids eye contact. Once in awhile he'll flash me a charming smile and I can't help but blush. When I'm depressed, he can just tell and I feel like he will then come around, make eye contact (not in a flirty way) as if he's checking up on me.
I don't know details regarding how long he's been with his girlfriend. Maybe I was being tested and failed and he went with her. Maybe he was just getting an ego rush from flirting while in a relationship. Why then, would he even care if I am upset or not?
