No, you should stop being a nag and join in with the conversation. He's clearly a guy that likes conversation. It doesn't automatically mean you don't exist - it means it's time for you to also be sociable.

What good will cutting down your time together do?
What good does storming off home pissed off do?
What good does moaning do?

Join in, start talking, get sociable, and stop demanding an audience, the guy will suffocate.

Aqua's like people that are independent and don't rely on us to entertain them.

Look, if all else fails tell him to piss off because clearly you're upset about it, but it's unlikely to stop because that's the way he is.

hmm i don't think we MEAN it to come across that away at all! its just we like talking to all walks of life...especially at parties..my first requirement for a lover is that i DONT NEED TO BABYSIT HIM. that i know if i were to just be myself in that environment he won't take offense...EVEN if i don't go out to parties or socialize..the fact that whomever i'm with can keep up is crucial..or situations like this would arise and i owuldn't know how to handle it.

Join him also strike a conversation when your with him..dont wait around to be included is key to dating us!

So being aquas, do you find that you start talking and don't know when to stop? Or is it that you are actually that curious about all walks of life? Another possibility, do you feel some sort of discontent within yourself not to talk to a bunch of people? Like say you feel you owe it to others to strike up a conversation...

We have many examples of how different signs react to certain situations, but i rarely hear ppl explaining the interior thought processes that go on to arrive at those reactions. Two ppl of different walks could come up with the same answer to a problem but take different paths to get there, for instance.

"he talks about beer, computers and cars".

He's a bloke!

Do you expect him to talk about lipstick, knickers and the Royal Wedding?

That's what blokes do, they talk about beer, computers, cars and - when you aren't around - the chick in the bar that has big tits. It's what blokes do.

If you can't join in the conversation, make a new one about something both men and women can talk about. He can't babysit your insecurities and he can't make the situation much different for you if you can't find a way of making common ground.

Astrology aside, do some reading about the differences between men and women and their topics of conversation/ways of socialising and relaxing etc. I think you'll find it's pretty normal and you don't NEED to be the centre of attention - you just need to come forth and find it within to join in with social aspect in your relationship.

Cool girl with no nagging who can socialise - easy and fun
Whiny girl who has a tanty because man not speaking to her - hard work due the demands placed

Question of interest - how old are you?

I dated an aqua twice i loved them both! I thought they were so sweet and down to earth, being around them was very relaxing. One of them we are the best of friends now, and the other we are working on re-kindling (im a libra if u didnt notice my name,lol) My aqua guy was the same way when he got around friends but i didnt mind because i would be in my own little world and being a libra im a definite social butterfly myself so i enjoy listening. He would often stop the convo and ask me if im okay and spark a little convo with me, then he would go right back to talking to his friends...i dont know why but it didnt bother me. What broke us up was his need for soooo much space. I mean we talkin 2 and 3 days of silence. I used to be pissed. I knew he wasnt cheating he jus used to do it because its how aquas do, like they need to recharge or something. It was extreamly irratating. But we were only 17 and 18, now that were older i love that fact that he loves his space because so do i. Now he wants to be under me more than i do him, its quite flattering...lol

Im 21 and a Pisces. He's 21. Yeah I really do try and change the convo, its just that he REFUSES to budge and just talks over me. And if we actually do end up changing the subject he ends up changing it back to what he wants to talk about. Its so frustrating. Being a Pisces I know its pretty hard for me to take charge of a situation and just be the one to talk over him and speak loudly to beat him at it. I dont know, it could also be that he has ADHD so he just cant seem to process the fact that someone else is speaking, not just him. I honestly dont want to be a nag, but I just hate having to drive soooo long away just to be ignored and sit around doing nothing for so long. Boring. I guess I just have to learn to be more assertive or something. I mean I have so much fun with his friends or my friends when he's not around. I talk to everyone normally and everyone talks to each other. But when he's around, he's the center of everything.

Oh and he does know my female friends, he just rarely comes up to hang with us when we go out cause its a long drive and he doesnt want to do it unless he has a chance to crash at someones place (cant do it at my place cause Im still with my parents while in college)



Ya, I hate guys who have to be the center of attention tho.

Hello SCORPIO😉

Oh well I mean I definitely would join him in on the conversations. Its just that most of the topics he pretty much talks about is beer, computers, and cars. Which I honestly dont know anything about. And its almost IMPOSSIBLE for him to change the subject all night unless one of his friends finally gets tired of it and forcefully changes the subject to something more general for everyone.

I am shy but I do try and join the conversation any way I can, but whenever I do he just completely talks over me and turns his back on me. Normally I just end up joining in a conversation with some of his other friends because he seems to only be able to join in a conversation with only one person at a time, not more than with 2.

Yeah I mean I dont expect him to babysit me or anything, its just frustrating because I drive about an hr total to see him (30 min his way and 30 min my way) two times a week because we cant hang at my place. And Im sorry if it sounds nagy that I expect him to make a conversation up that doesnt involve beer/cars/computers. I mean we have absolutely no problem talking about other things. But the moment a guy friend shows up he immediately switches topics to something I know nothing about and turns his back on me.

I mean hey maybe I wouldnt mind so much if my girlfriends were their but none of them would spend their gas money driving so far. I normally just see them separately from him.



HAHAHA that is so funny. My ex all would only talk himself and food. He is going to school to be a chef. It was so fucking annoying. Like I don't think he even knew how to socialize if the convo wasn't about himself. Like if someone would say something general or I'd get a good convo going with someone, he'd barge in like it was some kind of contest and somehow turn it into something about himself like " Well ya my work is so cool yada yada blah" "anthony bourdain blah blah" "I have to work such a long shift tomorrow"

I was like christ man! Calm down. How about asking me how my day was? Or talking to people about normal things.

He was such a self absorbed twat sometimes.

SAME! I felt like I had to talk less and be the "quiet one" because he needed all that attention. No one else could have any. And like I said if I tried to get a word in I would get shut down.

You can't win.

Pinkberry, you two don't seem to be very compatible when going socialising? Why don't you try to go separate ways when in a social situation? It seemed that he wasn't interested into giving you any way to join the conversation , you also arent patient enough to listen or play the shadow role. It's best if you both go talking to others and go back home together later. This way you can save yourself the frustration and stop using the dramatic exit that could disturb the Aqua and make you feel small? Furthermore, you both could have more stories to share at home. Juicy, juicy stories! Lol! I always try to find different people to talk instead of talking with people that my Aqua fianc? talking to because : I want to have more friends, I love my freedom and him so social scenes are the best way to achieve both, it's boring to talk to your love again, what's the fun? You're going home together eventually anyway! I've chances to talk about topics I love, etc. The only times we'd stay and talk with each other would be because it's a small close friend circle.

Saying that, I'm curious to know whether your guy has any commitment issues before being in a relationship with you? The Aqua men who are ready to settle down will care about their partners alot more than this guy. Or are you already insecure about your relationship? Is that why you're worried so much about him talking to friends more? Cheers.
