"I feel like he is not willing to compromise when it comes to the distance thing and I'm open to travel because it's only like 15 miles and we both have cars."

Either 15 is a typo or that guy is lazy as hell.

*a whole bunch of flowery words*....*self doubt*....*doubt about his commitment although I'm not all in either* ... I feel like he is not willing to compromise when it comes to the distance thing and I'm open to travel because it's only like 15 miles and we both have cars. Sometimes I feel like he's making excuses? I've never dated a Scorpio man. I would like to persue him all the way, but I don't want to put my heart in something only to be hurt. Idk what to think because he tells me he likes me a lot but he's unwilling to compromise.

15 miles is not a typo. I drove to him in 30 minutes on the street....

15 miles is not a typo. I drove to him in 30 minutes on the street. On the freeway it takes 15-20. On public transit it takes about an hour. He's making excuses but then wants our kids to play together. I don't get it. He's backwards. That's what made me withdraw a little bit. But then when I told him I was going to cool it off a bit he was all sad but then he said he understood. But he still texts me daily. I have to look at it from both perspectives. I know if I want to see someone I'll make no excuses. He says he wants to take me on a date and get to know me but for long term the distance is a problem. It's not that far. Honestly I think he's using the distance excuse as a form of control. And plus he thinks I'm going to go back to my ex (my children's father). Although he doesn't admit it, I think that's the real reason he's being so elusive. He's mentioned it before.

He always asks me why don't i make it work with my ex. Like he's trying to screw things up for us before it even starts (self-destructive Scorpio trait). I keep telling him no I'm not but he feels that at any moment I'm going to go back to my ex and there will be no place for him. I think it's BS because I'm an all-or- nothing type of gal. I know for a fact if I went back to my ex I wouldn't be able to give my all anymore. I'm trying to persue this Scorpio man and he just wants to sabotage it.. That's what seems to be happening.
No, that's not what's happening. He's testing you. He's insecure. But that's not all about it. As I've already explained, your relationship with him won't last long if he doesn't adjust. And, now that you've already started to withdraw, that clears a lot of things. Don't push yourself and observe. If I were you, I'd leave him immediately and go on with my life. Remember, Scorps don't know the meaning of the word 'compromise' when it comes to relationships (even if it involves your kids). So, don't head towards that direction. Good luck!click to expand

If it's only 15 miles, the distance/travel thing is definitely an excuse... and a very silly one. But giving him the benefit of the doubt this situationship is only a month old, he may not move at the same pace as you.

Ok. Yeah that makes sense. Since he's not willing to compromise I shouldn't either. Then we'll just be two stubborn mofos who both won't budge. Oh, well. On to the next? But he's so handsome and sweet... I have to be honest with myself though.
Can I use the word 'careful' instead of 'stubborn', especially for your side? Thanks!click to expand

Yes. That works. We both say we're very cautious. Eventually one of us has to either give in or walk away.
Yeah, it's mostly about who gives in first among 2 Scorps. An evolved one can understand and is willing to compromise but it also depends on a lot of things. One can't neglect the things that are going on in your relationship. More importantly coz it's a new relationship and is still at its beginning. So, it's best to be cautious.click to expand
