I just started dating an Aquarius male. We have had 3 dates so far and several hour long conversations on the phone. To give you some background I am a Sagittarius woman that is substantially older than him. At first I was concerned about the age gap, but after our first date it seemed like there wasn't a gap in maturity and I forgot about the age situation. After our first date he seemed very smitten. He told me how he was talking about me to his co-workers and friends. By our 3rd date which was this past Wednesday he brought me a flower, told me that he was dating me exclusively, started talking about vacation plans with me that were 4 and 6 months away, made a joke about moving in with me, among other futuristic conversational topics. As much as I love the attention and excitement on his end part of me can't help but be skeptical since this is all fast and wondering if this is a seduction technique to get me to have sex with him, which I haven't done yet. And he has definitely tried and asked me how long I was going to make him wait. On the 3rd date he spent the night at my place (remember we did not have sex). That next day I did not hear from him, but did not think anything of it since I was busy with my own plans. Then Friday I sent him an E-mail at work, which he did not reply to until later that day when he sent me a text message when he was leaving work to tell me that he was sick and heading home straight to bed. I sent him a text message back asking if he needed anything. He did not reply until Saturday morning at 11am saying no thanks, and that he was unfortunately still sick. We were supposed to meet up that night. I tried to call him 15 minutes after his text message to see how he was doing and ask about our date, but he didn't pick up the phone. So I sent him a text message saying that I understand if he doesn't feel like talking and asking him if he wanted to reschedule our date to another time when he was feeling well. He texted me back 45 minutes later to say that was a good idea and that we will see each other when he was feeling better. So I wrote him back and told him it was a shame and told him that I hoped he felt better. Today is Sunday night and I haven't heard from him. I am a little surprised that he just disappeared like that after being so smitten this week. I am not sure if he is blowing me off or is really sick. I want to give him space, but also miss him and want to talk with him. What should I do?

''By our 3rd date which was this past Wednesday he brought me a flower, told me that he was dating me exclusively, started talking about vacation plans with me that were 4 and 6 months away, made a joke about moving in with me, among other futuristic conversational topics.''

Aqua guys I've met make a lot of future plans i.e. live in the future. Us fire signs live in the present that's probably why you're skeptical so maybe trust your intuition.

''I am not sure if he is blowing me off or is really sick. I want to give him space, but also miss him and want to talk with him. What should I do?''

1) He may really be ill and may not think it's ok to let you see him like that so soon...(from my experience)
2) If it's an Aqua thing, he may be 'emotionally ill' i.e. needing to come to terms with some of the emotions he may be feeling in terms of you two.

Eitherway, sounds like he's needing some space - as a Sagi, you get this so I'm sure you can get ''busy with own plans''.

edit *** 'he may be feeling in terms of you two'

Or on the positive side - you may have really touched him and as an air sign needs to figure out exactly what. Several case scenerios... you can't wonder what's going on with someone - you have the choice to wait it out and find out in time. That's where fire and air has major issues - each lacks the patience to deal with the other.

Like everything else, balancing out the dynamics to the communication is key for the relationship, you want to talk, he doesn't. On the logical side, he's keeping in touch that's why I don't see it as a big deal. On the relationship side, not so good - leaving one partner guessing results in wrong conclusions sometimes as people can't read minds.

Just keep an open mind for now, if it works out, balancing may be important for you two.

LOL...Somechick23 your story was pretty funny! I can't believe that he threw up on you 2x!

Thanks everyone for your positive responses. Patience is definitely not something that comes easy to me as a fire sign, but I do understand the need of space. The concept of pulling away when things are good is foreign to me. I generally only pull away when I am not interested anymore. I also like to be taken care of when I am sick so now you can understand why his behavior has thrown me for a loop.

One more question. I view the ball to be in his court at this point. So I don't plan on making the next move. Does anyone disagree with this?
