Ok so I wished for an intelligent and intellectual man in my life and that is just what I got with this Aquaguy but Im at my wits end.

So, we debate and discuss current events national & worldy, politics, race, religion, and hes the biggest humanitarian so we discuss ways to improve our world but damn it his ability to go on and on and challenge my views is such a turn on. I love that about him. He's not like these millenial sheeps with nothing to say for themselves, au contrair he has a very strong opinion and its one of the things I most admire about him. Even when we hangout I have to be like "Ok Aquaguy, time to change the subject'" and hes like okay okay sorry I just get carried away. LOL its easier in person because I can just grab him and make his mind wander away from such serious topics in my own ways.. But even in person he will go on and on and.......... -__-

So, my question is how do I get him to turn that part of his brain off and talk romance to me when were on the phone?! Are Aquas even capable of tapping into that side of their brains?? LOL I feel bad shutting him up but sometimes I just need to have some chill down time for my brain man.

Halp!

what do you mean "talk romance"?
to us that either means talk dirty or talk about getting married lol

So do Aquas consider "dirty talk" romantic? Cause my aqua loves talking dirty a LOT, but sometimes that's all we talk about :-/

Is that a good thing?

When he goes on and on.. grab your phone and send me a text message. If he asks who you're talking to, then say some guy that you met. Continue talking to me until you fall in love and we have three kids.

Why not start by giving him a decent compliment thats more romantic than friendly.

Are you sure the aqua is interested in you? Does he show in any way that he is interested in you as a woman or friend haha sorry but its like there are just two categories. Woman or friend(zone)

Is he romantically interested? The two Aquarius I dated wouldn't stop talking about sweet nothings. It was quite overwhelming; but I do believe it is his Venus in Aries. He went fast, hard, and consumed us.

in Capricorn (we talk alot about business and politics) and Mars in Aries I think.

Yes, hes interested in me romantically, he tells me he like me, that im beautiful, sexy, hot. & he does go from normal convo to being sexual and back in a split second. He said he cant help himself around me lol.

LMAO. Weve spoken about children and such but in a very general manner... By talk romance I mean whisper sweet nothings in my ear... But now Im starting to think that sweet nothings to HIM means dirty talk hahaha

Mine isn't comfortable saying romantic things. It feels awkward to him.

Posted by truecap
Just don't make him feel stifled, he will lose interest if he does.

Girl, Im an earth sign... I have a feeling I might be capable of doing this every once in a while so what do you mean by it? I try to let him speak his mind (hence all the damn talking he does lol) and Im very open and receptive towards him. He knows I can be shy (cus well im an awkward Virgal around my crushes) but for the most part we are very open towards one another.

I can talk all sexy talk- but romantic shit- fail. I can write romantic stuff beautifully though. The words just sound so awkward when I say them- maybe it's because I don't know what emotional inflection to put in my voice... Also, I feel cheesy. Maybe a little fake. Romance to me is getting a sunflower picked for me. The female side of me would love my man to say beautiful, romantic things but then my automatic response would be "um. Thanks. Can we get pizza tonight, handsome."

This is very much like my Aquaman. Whenever he starts to make an attempt at sweet romantic talk, he ends up giggling like a 14 year old and gets all goofy. Then we start wrestling or something. He's 46.

Haha thats kind of adorable. So my best bet would be to look at actions and not words. I already knew that, we all know this lol, but it doesnt hurt to reiterate. Thanks guys super helpful πŸ™‚

Future seeker hit the nail on the head in my case, it's hard for me to be vulnerable especially in early stages, at first I like to see how far we can go mentally and sexually and if you do it for me then I'll open up romantically, I hate acting romantic, it's too cheesy and like future said it's fake so I don't do it....if you want to see glimpses of it then save it for pillow talk, we shine in the early hours in bed

haha this is true, I have noticed. We had a sleep over and talked until 8am.. He would have stayed in bed all day had I not kicked him out to eat some breakfast.

So, you love discussing pretentious hot air with him and admire him for his stubbornness... *coughs* strong opinions. But you didn't even bother to find out how Aquas are in romantic relationships beforehand?

Good luck with that - you're really going to need it.

Btw, Aquas are chatterboxes and often hold their recipients hostage. Get used to it.

Ive dated Aquas before, just nothing like this one. Im not too worried about it, I find it funny more than anything. And yeah hes stubborn as all hell. Were still in the early stages of getting to know one another (the reason why I am here, to ask if this is common) so yeah, Im going to have to hold my ground to get my thoughts in and hes going to have to get used to me being vocal too cus right now hes just used to hearing his own gum flaps. So good luck to him cus Im not one to give up a good fight ha.
