There may be some desperation in there... lonely more like it. He lost his fiance last year to a heart attack, a few years prior his wife to a stroke. Dry Cap humor on my part - I told him I could never get involved with him as it might mean my demise. I wasn't trying to be insensitive, it just came out.



Cap Merc, right? Totally sounds like some shit I'd say. lol

Yeah I have mercury in Capricorn too, so I know what that shit is all about I'm afraid.
😢

At the same time it makes for some hilarious banter with the right people!

I understand dark humor. I was just wondering if you had that kind of relationship with him where he's used to your type of humor, is all. You've posted a few things on here that have made my jaw drop, and come across as one of those jokers with somewhat sadistic undertones. I could be wrong, but that's just the vibe I get from you. Do a lot of people get offended by your jokes IRL? Just curious.

I would be stunned if an acquaintance felt comfortable enough making jokes like that around me, and I have an Aquarius moon. If HE said it, I can understand....could be his way of coping. Kudos to him for not jabbing you in the gut with a pool stick and throwing an 8 ball at your head.

Calling him desperate, dense, and talking about his missing teeth on here seems a little cruel. Maybe he's grieving and possibly neglecting his hygeine/not thinking as clearly as he normally would, because of this, leading him to believe you were more than an acquaintance.

If he can be understanding enough to realize you blurt out insensitive and inappropriate things without malice, it's only fair that you understand that he misread you without assuming he's stupid, no?



I have a cap mercury and I have offended people with my jokes. I just make a better effort now to let them know I was kidding. People that really know me get it and think I'm funny, but people I don't know well just don't always know how to take it.

Purr, it's not as harsh as it appears... made your jaw drop, lol. My ex-Cancer never seemed to get my humor either and I was always couching everything with "I was just joking". So, yes, I suppose I rub some people wrong or they just don't get it. But as cheeky said, it's like weeding the garden...

He has said he likes my wit and sassyness... my bossiness as well. I bust on him all the time 🙂

I'm not denying that he is probably still grieving. As I said, I do think he's lonely. I've been at his place, he pointed out all the pictures of his fiance and wife which are on full display. However, I don't think pointing out a characteristic which is a turn off to me (his teeth) is cruel. It is what it is.

There was nothing to misread, I laid everything out and even offered to try and hook him up with a friend.

Dense? More likely he's a very skilled serial killer! Have you asked him how he's lost his teeth?

No, I got it. It's not a difficult joke to understand at all. I was just asking if you had a relationship where you knew you could safely joke about something like that, because you called him an acquaintance. This story didn't make my jaw drop, but some comments you've made to strangers on this site when you weren't even provoked have been pretty cold. I just get the feeling that there's a lot of underlying hostility you release through so-called jokes. It doesn't seem as innocent as you make it out to be.



It's not that my ex-Cancer didn't know I was joking, it was that he never found my sarcasm or joking around funny.

I'm usually dry and sarcastic within a very short time of meeting someone. I've never had anyone take offense (to my knowledge).

And are you still hung up on the whole Elmo joke which had absolutely nothing to do with the name that was in it? Get over it, the joke was humorous.

Are ya Aquas all dense or would you describe it as just optimistic?

🙂



Not very optimistic. Dense, maybe.

Ah, just have this Aqua (male) acquaintance who knows clearly I'm caught up in someone else yet informed me yesterday that he told his family about me, about the girl he's "seeing". I never realized pool partners constituted anything but just that, maybe I'm the dense one 😛

You sure he's talking about you? Has he told you directly?

Actually I posted before checking for updates.

So yeah, my bad.

Sounds like an awfully awkward position to be in.
