I was just wondering if Aqua guys change their views towards relationships once they earn your respect? I've read this on the boards before, and I have definitely changed my approach towards my aqua relationship. I'm a libra, been seeing an aqua for almost a year, but without having any real status in his life...he has a fear of relationships, which he recently admitted to me, and we were basically hanging out as FWBs...we've had a few ups and downs and now, we're finally at a friendship status...with no hooking up. We've hung out this summer, without the hooking up (since july) and he's been gone on vacation for the last three weeks...he's texted me (which he just learned how to do!) a few times over his vacation, I feel like after a year of hanging out, I'm actually starting to see a soft side to him...like he's opening up. We both have strong feeligns for eachother, but I dont think he could handle the hooking up, and neither could I... I almost feel like he's courting me, it's not just a friendship, there is something more there still...do aquas tend to come back around when they truly feel something? He did hurt me once, and sometimes I feel like he is trying extra hard to make up for that hurt...but there are little ways he is showing a different side of himself to me...that i've NEVER seen before. For example, he was upset about something while on vacation, so I sent him an ecard, it was just a cute little teddy bear hug, he sent me back something via text, that I couldn't believe he wrote, since he's usually so protective of his feelings, he wrote "thanks I needed that, I especially liked the Fuzzy hug, the kind that makes you feel all warm inside"!! It was kind of cutsy and sweet, which he normally is not like with me. I don't want to read too much into everything, but I'm just wondering if this is normal...for aquas to take their time opening up... I don't want to hook up with him again...we decided to take things slow and just see what happens as friends...but I feel him becoming more comfortable with me...Any suggestions on how to handle things? I don't want him to get scared and run off if he gets overwhelmed with feelings again...should I completely let him realize on his own that there's possiblity for this being something deeper and greater? I'm fairly sure he's starting to fall for me..
