Well I have been dating this aqua guy since February we're both early 30's he's only 3 days younger than me. We were casually dating for 6 months he said he wasn't ready for a relationship when I asked if we could make things more official I know the feeling being an aqua myself but I am ready to settle down at my age, so I suggested fwb as we really have some great sexual chemistry best we've both ever had but I would be looking for something more permanent but we are really good friends I don't want to cut him out my life all together and he agreed I'm not waiting around forever for him to decide if he's ready for a relationship, it's been good the past few months of fwb I'm dating other people and getting really close to this Gemini guy I haven't told my aqua guy about anyone I've dated he's not told me about any dates either so no feelings get involved i.e jealousy etc.

Now here's where I'm confused I'm ready to move to next level with Gemini guy he wants to make me his girlfriend so will be going back to being just friends with aqua guy, seen aqua guy the other night he was wondering why I wasn't cuddling him when we were watching a film, since we started I only cuddle before and after being intimate I keep my girlfriend behaviour reserved for my actual boyfriend which he didn't want to be it protects me and him from getting false signals or so I thought, he's becoming increasingly clingy and wanting affection, I never met any of his family while we were just dating now after being fwb I've met his mum dad and sister all of which before he would make sure I wasn't there at the same time, his mum now thinks we are dating! Hes hidden a few of my things while I've been there so I have to come back but last time I've made sure I had everything with me. I've ignored him all day today as I've been trying to figure out what's going on, he didn't want a relationship but he's not correcting any of his family all he needs to say is we're just friends, does he want a relationship or not because I would give it a go with him if he wanted to but I'm getting whip lash here with him keeping me at arms length then now wanting me. I feel bad moving on with Gemini guy but aqua guy is just confusing me that I see no other way he's not getting his cake and eating it too I'm not his girlfriend! What do I do? I feel like just ghosting him as it would be easier for me at least but I'm not that cold hearted, but I can't be in relationships limbo forever with him.

See this is where the issue lies. People don't communicate anymore. Aquarius have the habit of detaching and ignoring their feelings inside of them. Scared to get hurt or whatever. It sounds like you know what you want and he doesn't. Now you started talking to this other guy and he sounds like he actually cares about you and is interested in you. The problem I have is whenever people don't see one relationship going where they want it to go...they look for another and it's apparent that you like the Agua guy so I ask why put the Gemini through unneeded hurt and pain just to try and satisfy the aqua male. I understand we like who we like but this is one of the reasons everybody has issues with finding good men and women bcuz people now a days rather hurt others for no damn reason and now everyone is on defensive mode and wondering why people don't stay. Well here is a tip! People don't stay bcuz we have built walls so high we make people who actually want to be apart of us climb this huge wall we put up bcuz of our past. Not even giving the chance for the new found friendship to flourish bcuz we allowed someone from our past to destroy our today.

I would be straight with him. Tell him the fwb thing isn't working for you anymore, you like him and would like to take it to the next level if he's ready. That's if you're wanting this guy and not the Gemini guy. I mean.. Gemini is the one that is ready for commitment it seems. He's the one that's stepping up while Aqua guy is seriously lagging. Or, just tell this guy if he's not ready, you understand and would just like to continue as friends (no benefits, cuddling like a couple, etc.).

Thank you for your reply, I'm going to see him tommorow will communicate with him what I want, I'm happy to stay friends with him minus the benefits he's a great guy and truthfully I get along with him better than the gem guy, I've been pondering what to do and hopefully will find some kind of resolution fingers crossed.

That is so true it's quite scary how aquas like myself build up these walls I've been stung in the past and know this holds me back sometimes. I do like the aqua better but it's true the gem guy is ready to move on to next level where my aqua guy just doesn't seem ready scared I will hurt him etc. I do not intended to hurt either guy but I choose my happiness and sometimes that means others get hurt, I know it might seem cold hearted and Gemini guy is lovely and I've grown quite fond of him so me wanting aqua guy could hurt him I know this I just don't want to make the wrong choice. Holding on to something that might never be is hard to let go of. I'm going to see aqua guy tomorrow and will put it to him one last time to him about commitment and if not we are back to friends and will continue with Gemini hopefully everything works out and no one gets hurt. You have great advice thank you for your input.

Let us know what he said and what you decided.

I've been in a similar situation to you, about 3 years ago. Except that I had an easier choice: aqua dumped me when he lost his job and I met the Gem the next day after. I was with the Gem for 2 years. Aqua came back after one year asking forgiveness and friendship. Then for many other things I could not give him, like cuddles and kisses. He said he loved me, was thinking about me every day and wanted a relationship only with me, in fact he wanted to live with me!

When Gem and I broke up, Aqua asked for a second chance. At the beginning, he was keener than ever. We set a time for him moving with me (he lives now 300 miles away). As the time approached, he backed off. Initially, I thought he needed a few more months to sort his business. But his emails became very platonic. And sometimes late. Well, only up to 30 min late, but if you arrange to talk to someone each day at the same time, it feels a bit like being forgotten. I confronted him. He conformed for a few days, then it got worse.

Long story short, we had our last face to face meeting on the day Brad and Angelina broke up. Aqua kept on saying he doesn't break up with me. But he "cannot give me what I want". Which, FFS, it was what he wanted not long ago...in fact it was him that made me want it too! I'm having no contact with him at the moment.

I would say, it is far more difficult to start a serious relationship with an Aqua than with a Gem. With Gem, you need to be married by 24 months though.......a contract is the only think stoping him from getting restless and wanting a NEW relationship. They don't usually look back once they leave.

Aqua will want you the most when you are not available. If you manage to trick him into a committed relationship, he may last longer than a Gem, although they may be more prone to cheating...from what I've seen from my own Aqua dad and Aqua friend of 22 years.

Talking about the Aqua friend...his third meaningful lrelationship was with an Aqua! Before he was married with a Virgo and then with a Leo. With Aqua, I think he had the best relationship! I loved both of them and felt the happiest when visiting them.

They never married, which was sad, because she never was and I think she wanted to. Yes, they did quarrel sometimes...but in a sexy way and not too hurtful..... it really looked like they were a match made in heaven! If i have any regrets about my life, it would be them splitting up a few years ago, after two children and 10 years together.

Thank you for sharing your experience, I can understand why you would be confused about your aqua wanting something then changing their minds, I am like that also I get bored easy I need someone to keep up with my ever changing mind, don't take it as something you did it was his mind just racing too quickly we live in our heads and he probably envisioned living with you and was happy to do that at first but then our weird messed up minds fill with doubt and how it could go wrong it scares us. Sometimes we need put in our place to see that it will be ok and to face our fears. My greatest relationship was with another aqua before but I have to admit the maturity aspect comes a lot into play with us I felt too young to settle down in my previous aqua/aqua relationship we decided to part and experience the world first and meet again at 30 years old and get married, we were each other's first love sadly he passed away when he was 25 we never got that chance. Aqua aqua relationships just get each other I think if they are both at same maturity level, which I don't think my aqua is.

Little update I spoke to aqua tonight layed out all the cards on the table, told him I'm not playing games anymore he either wants me or he doesn't. But I will be moving on if he doesn't. He said he wanted to move on to next level with me and loved me dearly (he's never told me he loved me before). I gave him till Sunday to think it over if that's what he truly wants as I want him to really think about it and not just in the heat of the moment. I know what I am like with big decisions I make rash choices and think about it later that I shouldn't of done that, will see what happens in the next few days were meeting up on Friday to go out for Halloween party but I don't need a definitive answer till sunday. Gemini guy has been a bit strange his evil twin came out earlier on so not sure if I would go ahead with him anyway now too controlling for my liking. Either way I will move on either as aquas friend or his partner both outcomes I'm happy with.

So you have a guy that likes you, not only that but is ready for something serious, and option 2 just wants to use for one thing and the choice is hard to make.

The making of drama play. If love was so d**n simple these ridiculous fairy tales would end with "she looked right through Prince charming and saw a horny toad looking for a hole to push and stick his 3rd leg in.

But A" if it's a hard choice it's a hard choice who am I disagree. I can tell you this Mr. Gemini Will not be to keen in knowing he was second best. If he was not your number 1 he will forever be a consolation.

Well mr Gemini tried to tell not to hang out with one of my oldest friends sorry but too controlling he defo is and got really angry when I didn't agree with him she's my best friend she comes first before any man, so he has been binned no matter if he wants commitment or not.

Aqua finally committed and to tell you the truth things have been amazing this past week hopefully will continue. Us aqua are don't like commitment so it can be really hard choice for us, thankfully he did

When 1 lover changes patterns the other lover changes behavior

So maybe Gemini became controlling because Aqua became distant. You perceive concern as controlling as he perceived your lack of as the End.

He told me not to hang out with my best and oldest friend, she comes first before any man sorry that's a bit too controlling for my liking and he became angry when I told him that I would still be hanging with her. We aquas are distant all the time it's in our nature, his concern was he thought my friend was a bad influence on our relationship and that I spent too much time with her.

So you won what?

You know why Mr. Gemini was feeling insecure why he felt SOMEBODY was getting in the way right?. You placed your friend as the only potential obstacle. When you were with FWB you probably told him you were with your friend. So not only did you lead the guy on you used your friend as a escape goat at the end. He was partially right tho when he felt she was a bad influence on you, but in reality you might be a bad influence on her.

Did you not read my 1st post it says early 30's, I know we leave people behind that is life, but I have to admit only 1 person I have had to leave behind, I have loads of friends I still keep in contact with and ex's who are still close friends and we have all moved on with our lives so that statement doesn't quite apply about leaving people for me, if you know anything about aquarius we have loads of friends!

I never once told Gemini guy I was with my friend when I was with my fwb so no I did not use my friend as an escape goat I don't appreciate the assumption that you believe I lead him on and my friend or myself are bad influences on each other, we have been joined at the hip since high school best girl friend seen me through good times and bad we have girls night once a week but Gemini guy didn't like that hence reason I walked away. Have you ever heard the statement never assume it makes and ass out of u and me?

I'm with aqua guy now so it's not a matter of winning anything I'm happy with him we just struggled with commitment it's in our nature nothing to do with Gemini guy he was just an ass, lucky I found out before I did commit and I also recently discovered he has a history of physical abuse to ex partners so not winning more a lucky escape. My sons dad is a Gemini and I have nothing against gems but some are just bad eggs as with any star sign.

1 I ask your age being sarcastic

2 I never said he knew. I said he may have seen her as the obstacle. I'm pretty sure if he knew about the other Guy your letting bang, Your friend wouldn't have been a issue.

3. I know a lot of aquas guys and girls. I also know the main downfall of some of them is the incapacity to see that a friendship is not as deep as a meaningful relationship. But some friendship relationship are both cut from the same cloth. They are right but a relationship requires maximum commitment and sacrifice while a friendship requires the basic minimum.



If Gemini wasn't right guy for you, and aqua is cheers to you two being happy. Just note you can't say your with him or ever exclusive if you use the words "struggle with commitment. That's like saying I'm a fish but I struggle to breath under water. I know you see the confusion, I just hope you know the conclusion. Aquas are smart people. I just sometimes do not understand how you have the know-how to make some one feel, but lack how-to-feel in return.

@Aquascottish I've dated an aqua man before for 6 months..I'd suggest to go for the gemini man and save yourself from even more whiplash lol. I feel like us aqua girls want the aqua man but the aqua man always seems clueless in giving us what we want. If you really want to give this aqua man a shot, then I'd just straight up and ask him to make things clear for the both of you. You know us aquarius' tend to be oblivious when it comes to romantic relationships lol. Sounds like this aqua man is reacting how most guys would act once the love and affection that was once received is now gone. Also, it sounds like he's either wanting to keep his options open or just simply isn't ready to be in a serious relationship.

I'm surprised as an aqua yourself you didn't understand this.

This is typical cookie cutter Aquarius behavior and almost required for a relationship (this is why we annoy the other signs so much)

- We don't rush to commitment - often commitment in a relationship blossoms from long term no strings type arrangement or from a friendship. (like yours)

- We don't like to be forced into relationships before we are ready - we have to be allowed to choose it. (give us freedom or give us death)

This is why playing hard to get works especially well on aqua's - because we don't feel pressured into a relationship. We feel like we have to choose that we want it and then work for it. As an aqua yourself - your guys initial non committment is likely a big part of why you were ready to commit to him 😉 Then your pulling back from him during the FWB stage allowed the same to happen for him.

We are a bit weird and other signs don't get our confusing behavior but we are really very simple creatures - it's just very specific in what it takes for us to commit to a relationship.

Thanks for your replies you guys, I understand completely about aquas real-friendship lol I have to be friends with someone first before I can fully commit to a relationship weird aqua trait I guess I feel lots of love for my friends near on par with a love relationship, I've seen a change in aqua guy last few weeks and it's been fantastic we are currently in London for the Scotland football game against England tonight it's been amazing he's more romantic and it's bringing us closer together going Ice skating, lovely dinner all planned by him away from his friends and today we're getting ready to all be with the tartan army 😄 He's told me things he hasn't told anyone and being so open it's shocking even me an aqua lol he said he was scared about being hurt and he knew I had the power to do that to him as he feels so much for me, I didn't threat to walk away I just told him straight I want a relationship when we talked a few weekends ago. I hope this continues but Im enjoying the moment wherever it may lead us.

I know Gemini is a good match for aqua and have only met one (my sons father) that I can say that I get along with amazingly and we are still good friends, others I've had to cut off completely as they ruined my trust through cheating don't know if that's just the Geminis around where I live but none of them could stay faithful. That Gemini guy is just a nasty piece of work just a bad egg, but as in any star signs there is that odd one. He's been sending nasty texts and threatening messages I've had to block him completely if he keeps it up police shall be called, glad I didn't choose to commit to him.
