So when my aquarius returned from his hometown,he called me up.He was very affectionate.However,somewhere in between,he mentioned that we won't make out next time onwards.(Okay,a little flashback detail,last time when we met and were making out,someone objected us.He was visibly unhappy then.)
We met this Thursday,just a stroll,hand in hand.To my surprise,he was being very sweet,sharing stuff from his life,asking me to stay a little longer when I was leaving,not letting me leave his hand for a sec,very cute.However,when I tried to kiss or hug him,he told me not to because he said it doesn't go well publicly.He also jokingly mentioned sometime that when we makeout and I try to stop him from doing a few things,he feels inferior.I sent him a funny text that night,he called me up.We spoke for an hour and a half.Whenever I tried to justify that I was a little slow with intimacy,he said I shouldn't be paranoid about it since he said the inferior thingy as a joke.We decided to meet the next day.
Friday we met again.He was being sweet but for the
fist time,he didn't make out.I was in an excited state,for the first time being the one to initiate,however,he wasn't cuddling,a little peck here and there,that's it.We talked and all and I suggested him going back to the place(where we were busted 😛) but he said he no longer wants to go there(earlier, he used to love that place). Towards the end,I got upset since all my attempts went in vain.Seeing me upset,he did cuddle a little and kept saying he hoped I understand what he was trying to say,it was better to be in a room than outside where ppl might stare.when I was leaving, He asked me for the goodbye kiss but I wasn't in the mood.I went back disappointed and was feeling a little unwell.He called me up and suggested medicines and told me to sleep right away.Two hrs later he called again and asked me how I was.I apologised to him and said I was being irrational and was overreacting.He said I was okay on my part.After about 10 mins,he said he was going to sleep and hung up.He knows I'll perhaps be out of town since Monday and hence I was expecting a call that night or today,I didn't.
I had told him earlier that I was planning to play some prank.That I did today and texted him that it was done and I had mailed him the pics and that he can see it when he has access to the Internet(that'll be on Tuesday) He called me up and spoke for 10 mins.(He has an exam tomorrow,if that counts :/)
My question is,hoe did my getting upset go down with him? Did my apology matter? Also,what is it with him being more affectionate than ever but refusing to make out,is it because of that incident and he'll be normal again or is there something else?

I have a feeling that he is considering moving into more serious territory and wants to see how good you two are without the sexual component. If it's good and atays that way he knows that it's for real and not jiat a sexual connection.
So is it one of the stages that aqua have in their commitment process or is it just him?

I dont know, really. Mine told me early on that he wanted to still see me, he just didn't want to see me naked anymore. Those exact words. Needless to say I didn't listen, lol.

But I think that's where his head was at.

ilovemyaqua, is English your first language?

I think he's trying to establish control in the relationship, when he's kissing you and show affection then let him, if you block him half way while his expressing his love he will most definitely put a lid on his emotions and exercise caution and control around you. If he does anything that you don't feel comfortable with then by all means tell him to stop but also take his feelings into account, that he may have got carried away and is embarrassed. Another thing is we DO NOT like PDA especially when you're in the heat of the moment and a stranger gives commentary, that's a fucking no brainer....

Anyways that answers your questions^^ but I'd be more concerned with the stupid games you're both playing with each other, it's not cute

I agree with @sultrykitty ...it seems as if he wants to take the physical aspect out of the relationship to see how well he emotionally/mentally bonds with you. That's a good thing 🙂 I was like that with the one I fell for. Nothing physical for about two years, and then we finally got some of the good-goods in 😛 All that waiting made the experience even better! Haha. But, no, seriously what was more important was that longing, that feeling of connectedness... That's what made the physical aspect of our relationship an infinite amount of times more beautiful.
Yours continued for 2 yrs?

No,I'm from India,so it's not my first language but it's our official language.
And the stranger passing comments incident happened the last time we made out,not this time when he was refusing to,maybe he had that incident at the back of his head?
Also,what games are you talking about?
