Hi! I met an Aquarius man, 50, three months ago. I'm a Sagittarius, 41. He and I had an awesome intellectual connection from the initial conversation. Here are the facts outlined:

*I fell in love with him (sapiosexual)

*We kissed several times, enjoyed a walk together and shared a few meals

* No sexual contact as I wasn't attracted to him.

*He shared w me that he had a sex-buddy on the side (I didn't care as I didn't want him sexually at all/He's not my type/But found his hands, lips and smile to be beautiful)

*He sexually objectifies women on facebook and on the job (decided to unfriend him on FB due to disrespect)

*He doesn't tell me how he feel but has shared that he sees me as very intelligent and independent, having a cool personality, spicy, inquisitive, funny)

*We clashed in December b/c he sort of teased my feelings so we took a 3 week break. When we reconnected it was like the break never happened. He shared that he missed me.

*During the 3 week break his sex-buddy suggested marriage to him. He shared w me that he declined because something better may come along.

*I fell out of love with him but I still love him. (Yes, he knows)

*He shared w me that our (tongueless) kisses stimulated him. (I didn't know this since I requested them)

* He and I have and can talk about anything and everything. Our conversations are fun and intriguing.

*He's emotionally unavailable, an ESTP, stubborn, stuck in his ways, impatient, risk prone etc)

*When we talk, it's any time of the day. Doesn't matter. We've been good support for one another.

Bringing you up to the present, he and I clashed recently because he sexually objectified my body, again. He and I spoke about this and I thought we had an understanding. He does this to all women who will allow him to. He's an ass-man. I basically reminded him that my body was off limits to him verbally and physically. That we never had that kind of friendship (I told him in the very beginning that I didn't want to sleep w him, wasn't attracted to him and redirected him back to his sex-buddy). This man is like the best friend I never knew I could have. We make one another laugh so much and really connect on so many topics, it's insane. Anyway, his ass blocked me. I guess I'm okay with that. My question is, does this sound like a relationship worth fighting for? It's VERY weird to me, that reminding him of my standards (I don't let men disrespect me in any way) has him in his feelings when I didn't even think he had any 🤦 He's never vulnerable with me although he's shared small bits of info w me here and there about his past. Additionally, he's not attracted to me, but my personality. This man intellectually, brings a lot of joy to me but it's like he's being too insensitive now. He apologized 2hrs later and now I'm blocked.

Im Aquarius and Yes, As friends we are one of a Kind... And Yes, We can be as A-holes as people allow us... but As I say ... Its all Looove 😉

Once we care about someone we will always care. There's no doubt.

Im going to edit this cuz I missed the part that he blocked you. If he really values and wants your friendship, he'll contact you. He is just probably pissed off cuz things are not going his ways. or bc he has to be constantly apologizing... dont contact him. after all he is the one being disrespectful... and if you contact him you will make him think that its all right. he is just on his feelings now... he'll come back when he gets off his period. lol.

Well, Im really annoying, and if I know there is a way to drive you crazy cuz its just looks fun for us to see how easy we can piss you off. I know it sounds mean. But I usually tell my friends when that happens, that I dont know how they take everything I say serious. So, He gives me the feeling that we are similar. So, when he comes back, just dont take his words seriously, unless he really overstep you boundaries. then you have to cut his friendship off..

Bottom line, from the beginning of the interactions to the end, it was neither here or there, it's just this boundless bond. That is the problem here..moment to moment. The lines of friendship, sex buddy, potential lovers, just blurred all around. You are confusing just as much as he is. No wonder you're not sure what is the most intelligent route to take. If he was a lover, wouldn't be easy to appropriately apply the idea "one must fight for those we love?" . If he was a best friend only, wouldn't it be easy to just objectively apply "we have been through thick and thin, its like family, We need to talk and get over this" But we cant, since the feelings in this really is rooted out of love and hope. HOping the other partner will be real enough. Not one of you guys are willing to admit it. All I see is love , warmth and bond potential. All you see is someone who is great but is hurting you by objectifying/ Now he blocks you but apologized then blocked/ that is a symptom of confusion not character.

From what little I've read of the above, You haven't said one thing that seem to take any accountability of the potential chain reactions from your one kiss. If i were him I wouldn't be vulnerable with you either. Sag women tend to set the fire and take no accountability, using their high philosophical ideals to rebuttal everything. You kissed him back have you forgotten? You change the meaning of sapiosexual within the first 2 bullet points. Sapiosexuals are not sexually dammend, but they do require mental stimulation to get the sexual arousal going. Yet you tell him youre not into him. BUT "he objectify me that is why I backed away" irregardless of your reasons that are completely valid. What i'm trying to explain is above all of these details. The pattern here simply: you guys want the idea of a relationship but can't dare to accept its reality. You guys both play these games with each other. Ill feelings, unexplainable feelings still exist.

Both aqua/sag when emotions are unexplainable sometimes its easier to just drop it all.

This is a decision only you can make not us. We dont know him personally and you. You guys both made it very very confusing for each other.

What helps me determine if someone is worth it being my friend is

1. Despite differences, they will be there for me in the worst of times. Anyone can be here for me for good times.

2. Fairness and tolerance

3. Forgivness

4. Live and let live

5. Patience

6. Loyalty

7. Selflessness

Till you and him separately figure out what you guys are feeling as the core, how can anyone, including yourself answer "is this frienship worth saving" it is neither here or there, not a friendship, not a romance, but maybe?

Figure that out first, then ask if its worth saving.

@candi3bb It is VERY confusing indeed. I'm VERY DIRECT, but he is the opposite. It's been pretty challenging for me.

Physically, he is NOT my type in any way. So, when we connected as friends, that's all it was. Friendship. Then as we talked daily/weekly, I began to feel butterflies and tears would surface. Yes, I asked for kisses. It wasn't a big deal to me as kisses doesn't mean I want to have sex. In fact, I made it very clear that I didn't want to be intimate. These kisses we're pecks, not tongue-filled. No hand holding, groping, heavy breathing. None of that. He is very evasive but LOVES attention. So for me, I had to take a step back because I didn't know how to understand him. I didn't want to be used. Yes, I wanted his heart but once he told me he had a sex-buddy, I wasn't trying to interfere w that. Additionally, I don't play games with people's emotions. It's not who I am.

@justagirl Yes, I did. Kissing him and being disrespected via sexual objectification are two different things. There was NO sucking of tongue given.

@sweetpea2977 I hope I wasn't to tactless, its definitely difficult with aqua men. With just being a man+emotions+aquarius= confusion. We do see things so much more further than other signs, his reason to block you sounds like the situations that would make me do so as well. Potentially, he could simply be confused.

Potentials in his mind: *clarifying that intimacy is the warmth and bond people share..its not necessarily just sex*

-Phase 1: He made his points known directly by picking up the signs from you as well (kissing, intimacy, long talks) He could've had an interest to get to know you.

-Phase 2: When you made it known it wont ever be anything but continued with (intimacy, long talks, hang outs etc, telling him about your ideas etc..sounds a lot like, from the perspective of a man..its a huge sign that you are growing interest as well. However, smart sag lady here nipped it in the butt.

-His inner feels: Aquarius don't know they like someone till it just happens, If people tend to see things /others in the way the they view themselves, he must've thought that you were becoming interested (either love or sex whatever label you wanna call it)

-Flash forward however long its been since day 1- present..His emotions inside have been causing him complete utter pain. He is as confused I guarantee you. Aqua men, no matter how scumby they can be, deep down, have a huge compassionate, humanitarian streak. What they show others is very different what they are. He could be bitter and feel mislead,misunderstood, he couldn't possibly communicate these to you as he is fully aware (like all aquarians are) what they put down and the consequences , counteractions, of everything. After all this thinking, feeling, sorting, he plausbily became frustrated and decided to just eliminate the source of all this OVERWHELMING conflicting thoughts, feelings, reasoning, thought processes. Compassionately, he probably has also thought about how horrible of a person he is and that you deserve better..Which could possibly explain the blocking and then apologize, then back to nothing. Aquas have a hard time putting themselves first really, and when they do, its usually in an extreme way. He is doing small talk because that has always been the vibe with you guys, like that one time where you guys took a "Break". And you set the pace to be direct and open up dialogue (which you didn't this time)

You have to come to terms that he has a higher chance wanting you sexually more, being with you more, or liking you more. He shared his sex buddy info because you are his friend, and you shouldn't judge him for that. No matter what. If you want to save the friendship, then you gotta indirectly adjust yourself appropriately, you can't be talking to him like BFF's when you know all this other information about him. That he wants you sexually.Every decision, is a decision against something else. If you want him to still be the same its impossible. You wont be able to have him as your BFF and you parade around being a sexy sag. Be sensitive to that possibility.

If you want just a friendship, then He isn't the one. He doesn't seem that he'll be able to provide you this. You've done all you can, he made his own bed as well. You did your part as best as you could. He did his best as he could. Didn't work out. Different needs.

Once an aqua does this extreme, it will take months before they calm down. They really stubbornly would move on , even if they could go back. If he has made the choice to block you, then he really also has strong opinions on your lackings.

Drop him. Drop the mic

Byyyyeeee

@candi3bb @Arielle83 @pinkbird03 At this point, all I can say is thank you for sharing your perspective. This has been an emotional rollercoaster for me. I didn't mean to fall for this man. He reached out to me today and expressed that I'm too sensitive and he feels the need to tip-toe around me. SMH. To me, it's all about respect. So, I'm going to do my best to walk away. Very difficult, but equally necessary. I appreciate ALL who have shared. Now, I feel so sad. #sigh

Why don't you want anything else? And if he's a friend, why are you kissing him and letting him touch on you?

His "something may come along better" seems like it's you, if you would stop pulling away. If he's not your type, stop kissing him and letting him fondle you, also if he's not your type, how have you "fallen" for him.

I think your playing a game all on your own. Either do something about your feelings or leave it alone and don't act so confused that he wants your boobs in his mouth. 🙄

@saggurl It's Jan. I kissed him in late-Nov, early-Dec. I kissed him because I fell in love with him INTELLECTUALLY. Physically, there was NO initial attraction. I'm not playing any games. As I was getting to know him, I came to learn about his NEED for attention via FB and his MANY flirtatious ways IN ADDITION to his side-sex-buddy. I pulled away but my heart was still there. So, we kept talking....went out to eat, walk etc. Nothing major, but my heart wanted more. Yet, my mind said, stay away. I've NEVER "fallen" for someone like this. It was abrupt, overwhelming, scary and intense. But, he has NEVER fondled me. It was simply, gentle kisses. Nothing more. I'm walking away. Thank you for your questions and insight. This experience has taught me a lot.

Alot of people don't understand affection or love that doesn't equal dick in pussy one way or another. I'm particularly speaking about your Aqua male friend.

I think you understand that loving on an intellectual level alone is not enough. It is particularly not enough when you find other behaviors detestable. He sounds like a smart, thick, controlling, meathead.

Besides, you don't know if your friendship could endure a future wife's scrutiny. It might be good that you dislike the way he objectifies women. May keep the friendship a friendship. I really find men that objectify women beneath me. They think they are provocative in some sly way.
