I met this Scorp (im a Cancer) several weeks ago, he lives in my town, which is nice, as I usually date guys who live in other cities. He is sexy, witty, youthful, damn handsome, funny, generous, happy, and has a great career. BUT, he was smitten the 1st date. He calls/txts/emails constantly, always pays when we go out and wont accept my offer to pay, we fight over the check when it arrives and he ends up winning. Sometimes he brings gifts, which I appreciate, but I have told him to please stop doing that, (in a nice way). He also wants to come over on nights when I have my Child (I share custody with her father)even tho Im not ready to introduce her to ANYONE, unless I know its the real thing. I dont want to tell him I dont want him to meet my child YET, (or EVER will let him). He introduced me to his young son one evening, it kinda felt weird as we have only been dating a few weeks. I tell him Im doing 'Mother and Daughter' things together, but it dosent register, he will txt, "can I come over with take out, Ice cream" etc... Arrrgh..
OKAY.. so you're saying "so what, he likes you, wants to share time and things with you, a lot of women would love that treatment, WHAT'S the problem". Problem is its TOO MUCH TOO SOON, and it turns me off. Im not taking his calls half the time, make excuses not to get togther, create faux lunch meetings, so he wont take me to lunch again for the 100th time. He tells me all the time, "You're special and wonderful" BUT I cant recipocate. I feel I want to break it off already, but know it will hurt him and I hate to hurt people, especially nice people. I think I speak for most females. I want to be a challenge to a man, not know EVERYTHING about him or he me, in 2 dates!!! Its a thrill to not hear off him sometimes... then Im curious where he is. How do I get him to back off without hurting his feelings? I cant keep ignoring his calls without seeming rude. Im not a rude person. Thing is, he is a great guy, I realy enjoy our time. I would hate to end it just becuz I dont feel the same for him YET, but I want to RUN AWAY.
H E L P Scorpio M A L E S.... whats going on here....? I know its a Scorpio trait, they act on their emotions and feelings without thinking, being water signs. I dated two other Scorps before and similar patterns ensued. This very NICE man, is becoming a leach. Im a Cancer (also water sign) but I DO NOT act this touchy feely too soon, in fact I hide my feelings early on to avoid being hurt.

I agree! And I do guarantee you will be back...good thought Morrisey!
Also as an Aries, I would be straight up with him that he's moving way too fast. You like him, but he needs to slow down his roll.

^^ Funny, I have a leo moon too and I'd say I'm very controlling with my feelings and prideful with them. I only show them if I feel the person is good enough to see them...which is sadly almost never ha

That is how you want to Scorp, unfortunately that's when a Scorp is good to have, when he cares and wants you. He can sure be a little distance but then he would be the Scorpio that probably 90% of this board is complaining about. The one that disappears, never calls and too busy to see you.

If he were doing the exact opposite, you'd probably be head over heels.
You may not be rude, but you're not very real, either. Tell him the truth...unavailable men are more attractive to you, so you want to cut things off as to not lead him on anymore. Ignore him COMPLETELY, and your problem should be solved.

I agree with Ms.P and Tooserious ...
There is really nothing wrong with this man. As a man, knowing a good deal about how men see things. If I had a sister or daughter I'd tell her to look only for that type of men. That's an available man, giving his best. Giving you what he thinks you deserve.
....could you not have asked him to slow down a bit, it seems a shame...
Anyhow...you can send him my way, he sounds gorgeous lol

You don't know what you got til it's gone. I really don't see why you want to get rid of him.. after him you may not find another like him.

lol
"How do I get him to back off without hurting his feelings?"
*******************
First, you cannot be held responsible for the way anyone else feels.
Second, do you want him to only "back off" and take things slower
-or-
Do you, irregardless of speed, not want any romantic relationship with him at all?
Be up front, direct and honest with him. Don't hope he picks up hints.
Wow! I am head over heels for a Scorpio guy who is gorgeous and intelligent but is going thru a very hard time being unemployed and what not...and I can't get him to say anything!!! It kills me when women meet a man who isn't afraid to show his feelings and they don't want HIM! LOL
