So Scorpio is our mutual friend. Me and Virgo even met through Scorpio...he invited both of us to a hometown Christmas party, but they weren't on very good terms at the time. They had a falling out (I don't know about what, but it was evidently very personal, and Scorpio's fault.) So Scorpio has been trying to make it up to Virgo ever since. Because I'm old friends (old, not close) with Scorpio, I felt for him. I thought, ???Oh, he misses his friend.?? And, as self-centered as it sounds, I feel like I??ve been helping reconcile their friendship because we all go out together in a group.
Well, lately, I think our Middle-Man Scorpio friend is making it seem like I'm ditching Virgo. I hadn??t seen Virgo in weeks, and when we finally saw each other he asked me "What happened to you on Friday??? and Scorpio interpreted saying I had to work. I had no clue what they were talking about, but actually did have work, so didn??t ask if he thought I had been invited to something.
Then this week I mentioned in conversation to Scorpio that I was going to a dinner with a couple of my friends from college, and he invited himself because he said he wanted to see the band that was playing. I thought, ???Weird, but ok. The more the merrier.?? He mentioned it on facebook, started tweeting me about it, and I kinda felt like it was for show. Why make such a big deal about hanging out? Scorpio texts me on Saturday "We still on?" I explain no, I had a family dinner, so he just responds "Oh, ok." This Scorpio NEVER responds so shortly. Next thing I know, Virgo and Scorpio are heading out by themselves to the exact same restaurant! Now, I totally would've stop by to catch up with my Virgo, I only get to see him on weekends because of his schoolwork. Am I being --ck-blocked?!
So basically, I want Virgo to be assertive and ask me out and stop relying on Mr. Scorpio! I don??t want Scorpio to play middle man because I think he??s using it to his own advantage because he wants to be close friends again with Virgo. Which I totally get, he's awesome. Lol. But, if Virgo really liked me, wouldn??t he text me and ask why I??m not joining them? Wouldn??t he just ask me out? Is he really that trusting to listen to Scorpio, who has a history of lying to friends? Or am I just being strung along, and Virgo isn??t sincerely into me? Ugh. I??m so confused.

Why would 2 men need a female mediator unless they are Gay, having some kind of intimate relationship. To be clear, I don't have an issue with a man being Gay but the way you describe the situation seems a bit off.
He's discreetly flirting with you and my question is...Why? Why would a heterosexual male do that, that's not typical behavior.
" So Scorpio has been trying to make it up to Virgo ever since"
That's what lovers do not straight men, usually they just let it go and move on from it and if it's discussed it's usually a quick discussion. The making up part hmmm. The whole make up factor sends up a red flag for me.
"Because I'm old friends (old, not close) with Scorpio, I felt for him. I thought, ???Oh, he misses his friend.??"
hmmmm again who does that...What heterosexual male pines for another man.
"Well, lately, I think our Middle-Man Scorpio friend is making it seem like I'm ditching Virgo. "
Why? Why would he do that unless he's JEALOUS of your relationship with the Virgo. No reason to throw shade your way like that unless he's competing with you.
"He mentioned it on facebook, started tweeting me about it, and I kinda felt like it was for show. "
Of course it was for show...For the Scorpio. Yeeesh
"Next thing I know, Virgo and Scorpio are heading out by themselves to the exact same restaurant! "
HELLO!! Have you figured this out by now.
"So basically, I want Virgo to be assertive and ask me out and stop relying on Mr. Scorpio! I don??t want Scorpio to play middle man because I think he??s using it to his own advantage because he wants to be close friends again with Virgo."
Why would he need you to make him be close again to Virgo? Unless you're okay dating a man that is into men this whole close thing does not sound right.
A heterosexual male will ditch his friend just to be with you, not use you as a back up plan.
He's not asking you out because maybe he's closer with the Scorpio and doesn't want to ruffle the Virgos feather into a jealous frenzy. I'm sure they won't admit to having some kind of intimate relationship together. I'd bail out on the both of them let them both alone for awhile and go date someone who is willing to display his interest in PUBLIC towards you and not on the down low.
Thanks for the advice! It helped me see the picture a bit more clearly. So, I'll back off of the Virgo. If he wants to ask me out, he will. If not, at last I have a new twitter follower. haha. And, I'll just decline my Scorpio friend's invitations to go out for a while. Step back from it all!
