Some things I noticed about my aqua (who says he's in love):
He talked about his abusive past, which he has only shared with one other person
He limits the things he knows I don't like/willing to change
He's moving here....(though, he says that isn't a big deal, but he's also giving up free college and room)
He's been researching something I have to better understand how to deal with it or how to help get rid of it (it's a mental thing)

Just some things I think may be correlated. Especially the first one. I know he didn't want to share that, but he did, anyway.

'kay, in love...

"Telling about your past relationship and why it didn't work?"

I make sure i'm completely over a past relationship before entering a new one. That's why i don't talk about them, they don't matter. I will talk about them if she asks me, but i make sure she knows that's all in the past and i only care about NOW.

"Talking about your philosphy on marriage?"

I don't talk about it unless she or I reach a point where seriousness is needed. My views on marriage are different than most (i think) and i know that's a deal breaker for many women.

"Telling someone point blank what will show up on your credit report?"

I would let her know eventually if the relationships develops into something really serious. I would tell if she asks but if she does too early in the relationship i may want to end it right there.

"Talking about what you would do when you when the lottery?"

Well, i don't play lottery so...

"Telling someone intimate details about your family?"

Nope. I wouldn't if the relationship is not serious, even if she asked.

"Making an effort in gift giving?"

I don't usually give gifts. When i do i like it to be "special".

"Making an effort when a request is made? (like a request for more contact)"

Yes, but it's really hard for me. Even if i get attached to someone, being expressive is not my forte. It's not like i try hard not to open up. I'm just too awkward when i try getting closer to someone.

I won't disappear for too long and I'll want to protect you from the world.


Definitely what Aqualad said. At least, that's how my Aqua husband treats me. He jumped right in front of me and shielded me from a bus before. That was silly of him because he could just pull me back so I was upset with him and told him not to do it again. However, I was touched by his action? Hah, he is even worried that I get hurt by oil while frying things and do all veggie chopping and not letting me carry any thing or bow down to pick up things because I used to injure my back. Definitely loving, caring, protective and never disappear.

In love:

I totally agree!! I'm fiercely protective of the one I love. I'll take a bullet for them. I'm impulsive in love. I'm also very loyal to them. I don't get into a new relationship until I'm over the last one. I would hate the idea of not being true to myself and the other person. Once I'm over the ex flame, I'm after the next conquest full steam ahead!! I never look back at exes. In fact I drop my exes out of my life because 1) I'm not dying for friends, certainly not with an ex and 2) I don't see the reason to keep an ex in my life after the romance is over. I honestly feel like people do that because they still have some weird attachment or feelings for their ex. So much drama comes from keeping an ex in your life. So I rather drop them.

My disappearing spells are also at a minimal.

How to tell if an aquarius likes you in a romantic way?

(lol my last post was just too long try to keep it brief)

Its hard to differentinate what is and isn't with a air sign. Espeically aquas, we live by ideas...that fit the situation of the MOMENT. so when the situation changes we use a new idea..hence always evolving. However, if you look closer you can see a core of an aquarian. I dont even know how to tell if i like someone lol. But reflecting back the general pattern is:

IF i can FEEL* comfortable talking about anything, anywhere with no filter even talking about the color of poop. and the guy doesn't judge but rather joins in on the fun..WIN! WIN! WIN! talking about anything is the key to my heart. Heres the tricky part..even if i do talk about topics...if i dont "FEEL" comfortable with the guy and im just putting up a social facade..then yeah. its not gonna work. How to tell if i feel comfortable? when im even more eccentric and wild...and spazzy. then suddenly im calm and quiet..if im just quiet and calm all the time..then yeah.
-IF I go out of my way (which doesnt seem like a burden at all) to see him or listen to his problems. Then its a high indicator i like the guy. usually, i am compassoinate and help people but with the guy i like...its x10. i would be quite submissive in the sense that i'll do anything to make him happy..this is rare because i find generally men think that this trait is due to a lack of confidence. Really, i just think its human decency to help each other. Just with the guy i like....i show him how much i care but the troubles i would go through to help him...to be with him.
-I generally dont like birthdays..i forget even my own lol. and that goes for gifts. If i dont go buy you a gift then yeah..i don tlike the guy..One time I , without any money, somehow got a really nice video camera for a ex..wrapped it up. took the time to find interesting ways to suprise him. instead of feeding myself, i took the money i had to also buy a cake, then go through traffic across town for it..just to rush back angry and moody, to suprise him with warmth and love and laughter.
-I also am protective and tend to worry about their safety and well being.
-I am more consistent with my contact with them. i try at least.
-If i let a guy into my home, then i like him..i usually dont like inviting guys i like into the most intimate place, my room.
-If I can sit there quietly and comfortably by him..then i REALLY LIKE HIM. haha odd is
