So I met this Gemini guy on dating app. We had 4 interesting and exciting dates with loads of conversations. He would text me every time thanking for a great time together. He initiated all dates and kept in touch daily. I was invited to spend Christmas with his family so I got to meet his parents and sister. Then I accepted his invite to spend winter holidays together in his mountain hut. All events happened within a month since we started texting, way too fast. On our trip at first things went really well, I met his friends, we got along but then all of sudden he started acting distant and paid more attention to his mates than me. We’ve had sex for the first time and it was wonderful but it’s either I overthink things or he started losing interest after. During the day in public he would treat me with no special attention but at night behind closed doors be very passionate and talk about how much he likes me. On our last day in the mountains I’ve had an incident and we rushed to the hospital where we’ve spent about 5 hours while doctors were checking my injury. He was patient, supported me, gave me kisses. Later helped me with all the routine, gave medicine and etc. Drove me back home and checked on me over the phone for a couple days. But I can tell that something is off. He’s no longer as interested and invested as he used to. He fell sick that’s why we haven’t seen each other since our return. His texting manner is no longer playful and charming. He asked if I needed anything and I responded that I needed him but he simply ignored it.

So is this a typical behavior of someone who got what he wanted too fast, too soon or it has something to do with Gemini nature and their duality? Cause I can literally tell it’s like 2 different men: the one who was courting (shy, delicate, attentive, flirty, willing to please) and the one who he is now (cold, distant, unresponsive). Any advice how to deal with this situation in my favor ? I really fell for him.

Men will do ANYTHING to get between a woman's legs. Anything. Please don't be so naive.

Yes. It's typical of a dude to have "game" and finesse a woman's panties off 🙄 He knew he could have sex w you within 30 days. Now that he has, the mystery and anticipation has decreased.

Some of you girls/woman do TOO MUCH, too soon. Then when things change you then wonder why. I don't get it.

The first few months in a budding relationship are testing. You are still in the dating phase, of getting to know each other, and most often than not it doesn't end well. The reason is that one feels that something is lacking, or finds out something that they dislike about the other.

Don't blame yourself for anything, and surely NOT for being yourself! Sex IS part of dating, of getting to know each other. Don't regress to the middle ages, by thinking otherwise!

Should the Gem not appreciate what is on offer, you'll find a far better match in the future.

But if he didn’t like me/ wasn’t interested in me as a person to begin with, waiting longer wouldn’t change anything. We would still get his “reward” and disappear after.

I mean if a man is really into you as a person, having sex too soon (it wasn’t on a first/second date!) won’t turn him off.

Thanks for the support! 💕

It felt real for a moment and his efforts seemed genuine. Especially “meet the family” part was very convincing that his intentions were more serious than just sex.

1. But if he didn’t like me/ wasn’t interested in me as a person to begin with, waiting longer wouldn’t change anything.

2. I mean if a man is really into you as a person, having sex too soon (it wasn’t on a first/second date!) won’t turn him off

1. How can he really know if he in 'in to' you at the beginning? People get excited, perhaps nature's way of priming us to copulate and reproduce. Waiting does change things. It increases your value, eg, they respect you more, because the supply is low. If they're not prepared to wait until "you're" ready, then you're not compatible in the long run.

If you went in to this feeling ready to have sex wuth him, then at least that's a bonus, but it sounds like you had way different expectations.

Sorry, you got played. Gemini's (my experience with them) is that they have an 'off' switch, and also are full of the sweet words,mbut when a level responsibility or empathy is really demanded of them, they disappear. Once the off switch is on, it's all over,,because they have moved on, inside of themselves. If that makes sense.

2. Well, it could. If the sex wasn't good, something turned them off, or they don't place too much importance on it and it is simply another activity, like having lunch.

I went into this being ready but it also had something to do with the courting phase that convinced me he wasn’t playing (though I can tell now that he was).

We’ve had very platonic dates, he didn’t even try to kiss me. It was all long conversations and getting to know each other. It made me interested in him as a person and affected my further decisions.

Next time don't be too easy. Although sex is part of things, it's not the easy sex that turned him off. It's the expectations you have after sex. Clearly, you are wondering about things because you have certain expectations that aren't met. You are wondering why he isn't all over you after you had sex with him.

Telling him you need him is too soon. It didn't help. Of course he will ignore it. He's an air sign man. The question isn't how he's reacting now but more what you've done after sex. Did you become a bit more clingy after? Did you want to spend more time with him after? Because that never goes down well with an air sign. Also, knowing Geminis, it's hard to keep their attention for too long unless you a really are that interesting. I wouldn't keep my hopes up. And I also wouldn't suggest having expectations or falling for the guy before he does. Unless he tells you he loves you, it's not worth putting 100% in. If anything, it works when you enjoy the moment without expectations.

“Needing him” was more of a flirty text than the real deal though I guess he may interpreted it literally.

I can see that the problem may be in the “after sex” part. Cause it’s typical for me (I’m an aqua) to crave snuggles and be more physical with my man once we’ve got intimate. I need all that touchy-feely stuff to make me feel good. So even though I wasn’t clingy I still craved it and might have kissed and hugged him more than he wanted.

So is this irreversible?

Millenial advice:

Know your intentions and know his. Protect what you have. It's not just sex that you gave.

You gave him your time, trust and energy. Those are valuable things that, if not careful, can be gone easily. Hold onto your cards.

Both person have to invest equally, then you gauge from there.


Great advice, really appreciate it!

That’s the thing: I was very cautious the whole time not letting him in but he went above and beyond to prove to me he really liked me so I gave him a chance ((

"Waiting longer wouldn't change anything " Not true. It *could* COMPLETELY change his (preconceived) idea or perception of you. Understand?

When we DON'T know the heart of people; People who are technically strangers and we give them this....and that, simply because of a feeling, we are only robbing ourselves.

It's a dangerous game.

You guys spent the holidays together which is huge. He introduced you to his friends and family which shows a level of inclusion and commitment.

I know personally, I’ve been scrambling at work to make up for the time I took off. It’s busy busy.

I wonder if he’s the same...

He is still communicating with you just not as frequently and full on as in the beginning. That’s NORMAL.

Don’t work yourself up. Be calm cool and collected and focus on whatever else you have going on. Gemini likes a bit of mysterious energy.

It could be he just played you for sex. Or he could be overwhelmed with work and life being sick (LIKE HE TOLD YOU!) and has eased off on the communication. Sit back and let him come to you.

I don't know. Probably not... Once a Gemini turns off, it's off. He probably likes the initial rush and that's about it. Did he talk about any previous relationships or associations?

Would be interesting to know his previous relationships, how long, how long ago was last one and how they ended.

We didn’t discuss it. I only know it was a girl from a different country and he moved there for her. It ended about a year ago or so.

Just stay cool around him. If he messages you, then be normal. Throw away the expectations. Sometimes, that's what will make you act a certain way. I know several aqua gem couples that worked out well. But like I always say here, they are the detached couple. Enough space, no expectations, good communication, less questions. As an aqua and a fixed sign, you want things to be consistent. But Geminis aren't consistent. They go with the flow. He really won't be the same person as he was before because they have layers and each layer is different. They also evolve and change all the time. To keep them interested, you have to actually be interesting for yourself. Not for him. It's never the sex that makes them stay. They have zero attachments to sex. It's about the element of surprise. They tend to stay around people that are unpredictable, detached and of course has a deep personality.

Yeah I’ve uncovered a few layers i didn’t like or recognize.

Being an aqua it’s almost impossible to let things go argghhh!

Thanks for your profound description of Gemini mindset.

You went on vacation with him and his friends and it bothered you he was less focused on you.

It’s been a month.

Did you tell him you wanted more attention or sit and pout?

Yeah I voiced I was uncomfortable in a situation like that. He asked to tell him if he gets too carried away in his talks with friends.

Yeah but you chose to meet these people early.

The whole situation would of been uncomfortable n

Shouldn’t you have realized that and made an effort to overcome it ?

I see this as him seeing how you fit with him and his group.

You told him you felt uncomfortable and then it was made a chore for him to be aware of not giving his friends too much attention.

His friends will notice that and how you needed more attention.

All these are red flags, on his end, that you can’t just naturally flow and you might resent his friends if you get serious.

You’re already getting him to choose.

That would be the reason I would be pulling away.

The discomfort of the situation lies in the fact that they all spoke Catalan and I can only speak Spanish. So when there was a smaller group of the 2 of us and his best friend we got along really well and found common grounds. We all either spoke English or Spanish and had fun. But when more people would come they’d switch to Catalan and I wouldn’t understand a single word.

Aqua, there's no man that can sustain the initial level of excitement in a long term relationship.

My man said he had to take it slow because he could see a long term potential... I had to wait and wait patiently for things to grow btn us. No more 10 hour calls, no more dinner to breakfast dates, no more jumping around or cross country drives. Being a Scorp, he cooled off like an iceberg.

Just be a lady. Accept his calls when you can, be yourself and have your life. If you feel it's been too long, call and ask how he's doing. Maybe make him a sandwich or a gift that will be Gem-Aqua and try to live your life.

I think the best clue to knowing if he's still interested is if he mentions future plans.

It's vital to pace your availability to a man in the early stages of a relationship, otherwise you overwhelm each other with too much togetherness too soon. It sounds like you guys just wore each other out. If you don't pace yourself accordingly the relationship will fizzle because it has no where else to grow or go. I would back off for awhile, and implement a "no contact" for 30 days. Let there be space for awhile. In the meantime, learn from this. Decide how frequently you are going to avail yourself to a stranger who hasn't proved themselves to you yet. Make your love and exclusivity a jewel that has to be earned and proven slowly over time. I am a Gemini rising and it's not too late in my opinion.

Love and exclusivity may be "jewels", but you have to prove yourself to him, as much as he has to prove himself to you! If you play games (aka the cold princess waiting for the try hard knight) you may attract a certain type of men (including players and narcissists) that may not be your best match.

Just be yourself and do what it comes naturally to you. It is good to take a step back from time to time, to re-evaluate how the things are going and how do they make you feel. It does not mean going "no contact", unless you want to end it for good. Many times life itself and external factors set challenges that need to be overcome with patience.

I’ll gladly take your advice.

Actually I really feel overwhelmed with everything that happened in the past few weeks, so having my own life is exactly what I need right now.

Pacing yourself in a relationship and using boundaries are not playing games; i found your feedback condescending and disrespectful. Post your own statement without belittling othes you bully.

It makes perfect sense. But when I am being myself I tend to do stupid things controlled by my heart. Like that message I’ve sent: in my world it’s just an Innocent flirt, but to him it might be an indication of clinginess. But overall I need to back off a little and see how it develops.

Such stupid things would look endearing to the right person though. You look very intelligent and articulate to me, don't blame yourself for a few human mistakes that showed how deeply you care.

If you play games (aka the cold princess waiting for the try hard knight) you may attract a certain type of men (including players and narcissists) that may not be your best match.

Just be yourself and do what it comes naturally to you. It is good to take a step back from time to time, to re-evaluate how the things are going and how do they make you feel. It does not mean going "no contact", unless you want to end it for good. Many times life itself and external factors set challenges that need to be overcome with patience.

It makes perfect sense. But when I am being myself I tend to do stupid things controlled by my heart. Like that message I’ve sent: in my world it’s just an Innocent flirt, but to him it might be an indication of clinginess. But overall I need to back off a little and see how it develops.

Such stupid things would look endearing to the right person though. You look very intelligent and articulate to me, don't blame yourself for a few human mistakes that showed how deeply you care.

Appreciate your support! “The right person” is the key in every love story.

Idk i don't see anything alarming. Maybe he was a bit overwhelmed and that flu shit is no joke, i had a flu after 20y couple of years ago, i literally wrote a testament. Ask him how is he, if he needs any help.

No reason to worry about how may he perceived things you said, he gets it or not. No reason for you to change.


I can’t predict how the other person perceives things I say, way too much effort to read somebody else’s mind. You’re absolutely right. We’ll see how it will go. He’s still feverish and stays at home.

I agree with MissKrabs.

I see nothing definitely good or bad about your story so far.

Introducing someone to my family definitely shows I think well of that person, but it's not an especially romantic commitment.

Sending an "i need you" text, not a big deal in my book when you're just being yourself. If that's how you express yourself, it is what it is.


I guess I’m overreacting and being too sensitive to other people’s mood swings. Thanks!

So he’s recovered. Still checks on me but doesn’t initiate any dates. I suggested to return the crutch he borrowed from his dad for me and his reply was a simple “ok” with a smiley face.

I guess he’s no longer interested if I read his signals right. Should I ask about it directly? Or leave it like it is.


Ghost his ass, gems don't react well to this. 😂😂😂

Is he on your Facebook or any social media?

Ghost him and show what a great life you live, not in a desperate attention seeking way but show how great you are and ignore him for a few days if he messages. Mirror that dude, don't let some guy make you question your worth or value.

You're a high value woman, show him that.

Damn it sounds so easy, yet so difficult to implement into your life. But you’re absolutely right. Though this time I fell sick with a flu haha

This Gem is hard to pin down.

Asked if I wanna meet him (particular date and time) and when I replied with preferred time, he responded that he has plans later that day. 🙄

Then I let it be and went out with friends which he saw on my insta. A few days later I texted him asking about weekend plans and he replied that’s he’s celebrating his sister’s birthday. So I just let him know that whenever he’s nearby he can hit me up, I have no intentions to bother him. “No worries. You don’t bother me haha” was his response.

What mind game is that? Does he keep the door open just to get his stuff back at some point?

Yeah he sounds he took a step back but again doesn't sound he is done. So i get your confusion. Good that you showed interest to hit you up, but friendly suggestion, get rid of that don't want to bother you, sounds depressing.

So see if he offers a concrete plan in couple of days. If not well maybe he is out.


Thanks! I’ve played my part, now let’s see how this story will go next.

But it’s such a drastic contrast to what he’s been like before (morning texts, dates, plans), so I’m not even sure if it’s the same person hahaha

Men will do ANYTHING to get between a woman's legs. Anything. Please don't be so naive.

Yes. It's typical of a dude to have "game" and finesse a woman's panties off 🙄 He knew he could have sex w you within 30 days. Now that he has, the mystery and anticipation has decreased.

Some of you girls/woman do TOO MUCH, too soon. Then when things change you then wonder why. I don't get it.


This shit ain't true though. I've straight up had sex with a girl I met within a WEEK and was ready to set the foundation for a relationship right then and there. I don't think withholding sex changes much - in fact. I would say withholding sex does nothing but teach a man how to game harder. The more a fuccboi invests into getting your pusspuss the harder he will try. The fuccboy thirst does not simply cease, if anything, it grows because you've now identified yourself as 'hard to get' which only feeds into their ego more.

Have sex with who you want to, when you want to - just know that people have varying levels of patience for game and you gotta have DISCRETION and note the nuance in behaviors for each one.

I agree on that. Sex won’t scare the right man away, but the lack of it will only make the wrong guy try to pursue you harder.

Do you date dudes?

If you don't have experience in that department, then who are you to say that this isn't true? It is, on MANY levels.

Withholding sex doesn't equate to "playing hard to get" necessarily as much as it can SIMPLY mean, lets set a foundation without the sexual distractions.

If the f---boy mentality doesn't cease THAT is all the more reason why dudes NEED to be screened and understood before a woman gives so much to him without him even trying.

I can only imagine why you are defensive about this.

Btw, meeting someone within a weeks time and deciding to "set a foundation right then and there" is crazy as hell. (How much do you KNOW about someone to want to "set" anything? 🤔) Which is EXACTLY my point. No offense.

First off, I don't have to date dudes, I am a guy - raised around five other guys. Since you want to come at people crazy, let me set you straight because the only person here that's defensive is you, projecting your disgusting beliefs at people and attacking them for telling you the truth - you can't judge someone's character solely based on their sexual proclivities.

I can only imagine what a sad bitter betty you are IRL since it's clear this isn't even about a woman choosing to screw who she wants, it's about you being able to attack men. Your assertion was garbage, you made a sweeping, generalizing statement about men and that is my problem with your post. Women that end up taking your ratchet ass advice end up holding out on sex and STILL get played.

Amazing that you think you have any right to attack my character when you're the one with serious baggage regarding men. Pack it up Mrs. Butthurt nobody wants to hear your shit anymore. I feel sorry for you having internalized misogynism so much. Yes, 'giving it up too quickly' is rooted in misogyny and slut-shaming, dare I explain that to you too?

I love when I hit a nerve! LMAO!

....."bitter betty", "attack", "generalization", "holding out on sex", "baggage", "misogynism", and "slut shaming" are all TYPICAL words/phrases, to say the least that weak men, like you use. You only THINK you've said something worth-a-damn, but you haven't. In fact, what you've done is used the VERY SAME typical, tantrum throwing words, that bitchy men use far more often than not.

Ratchet. Me? Nah! I'll leave that for the women YOU attract.

Ask all of the confused women on here PUTTING IT ALL OUT, all too soon, (just to get BURNED anyway) just HOW that's worked out for them? I'll wait. Actually, here's the answer: For most, it hasn't.

You and your typical views are nothing short of those of an entitled fucking "man". You're dismissed.
