Lol they are quite weird. Well for sure, I know of this one aqua boy who is really into me; but there is another, an aqua I've known for about a year now that I'm curious about. He's a very friendly and social individual, but lately he has been asking me to hang out with him more often. I mean, not really one and one, but to really just hang out with him and do things.I'm not exactly sure what to make of it because I'd totally do it regardless (let's face it, he's attractive and adorable), but he's just been more adamant than usual.

My aqua friend will do this a lot too, like literally force me to come hang out with him, but he's just like an older brother type figure, so I could be looking into this too much lol.

Well every Aqua is different; hell every guy is different. BUT, generally there are a few things you could look for that Aquas usually & only do when they really like someone:

1. They'll start opening up about themselves more. Usually Aquas prefer for others to open up the cans of worms 1st. They want the other person to reveal the inner sides of their personality 1st so they can 1st see if they're even interested and/or to see if they admire where that person's head is/where they stand. If an Aqua actually starts openly volunteering things about themselves that the average person wouldn't discuss unless there was some admiration there, that's usually a good sign that the Aqua feels you are worth seeing their emotional side. And TRUST me, Aquas will do everything they can to keep as many people as possible away from this side of them.

2. If they start hanging with you alot more than usual. Aquas love having their space. And granted, even once they love someone, they'll STILL want their space. BUT for example, if your Aqua normally stays at home to themselves and/or goes & hangs with other friends other than you on certain days, BUT YET all of the sudden starts wanting to include you into the times they'd normally be to themselves, that's a good thing. That means an Aqua is okay with you occupying their space/time; and trust me, most people can never understand the whole "space" thing about Aquas b/c their personal space is something they usually don't let others into. So if they let you in and/or have an increased urge to see/talk to you, that's a GOOD sign!

3. They'll literally tell you. Aquas may not be big on showing lots of affection in the beginning, BUT if they like you, you'll be able to tell b/c how much they do for you/how much time they spend with you and what they share with you will dramatically increase! Sometimes it'll increase so much, the other person is literally left questioning their Aqua's intentions b/c of the random & sudden change. If they start showing you more affection, fitting you into their schedule (where they otherwise wouldn't have before), showing you off to their friends & family members, that's almost ALWAYS a good sign

4. If they start testing you, that's actually a good thing. If an Aqua starts randomly throwing out serious but yet suspicious comments/remarks, it's b/c they're testing you. And honey they're testing you b/c you've gotten their attention. Sometimes they just want to be 100% sure they're not crushing on you off of pere emotion alone so they'll do a few more little tests just to make sure that they're not imagining things...yes they really do like you. If an Aqua didn't care and/or had already made up their minds not to see you as long-term potential, they would have no need to test you at all or spend much time with you.

5. As with some men in general, when Aquas start to suddenly demand more of your time, energy & affection, it's b/c at that point, they literally need it from you. And they need it from you b/c you've got their full undivided attention. Some may see this as Aquas all of the sudden becoming possessive and/or clingy, but it's moreso that Aquas will literally start to open up & be their true selves once they feel comfortable & safe with you. Aquas don't mind doing all the chasing & giving you the world BUT they have to trust you 1st & like you hard enough. They take dating very seriously;

I mean does that mean he only sees me as fun and someone to keep him occupied until someone better comes along? Or is this their way of showing their affection?"

Well it all depends on what all you've given him. A man can only use/take for granted what he's been given. If you haven't given him anything, the only explanation for him being into you is in that he probably & literally is into you. However, if you haven't been platonic with him, there's always the chance that he could just see whatever it is you've given him as something to "do" until someone better comes along. The answer to that question all depends on what you 2 give to eachother and/or do the majority of the time you 2 are together.

This guy might've slightly liked you all along BUT not enough to actually feel it worthy to voice his crush to you. Maybe he was seeing other women on the side the whole time that occupied his attention. Or maybe he was emotionally unavailable for awhile, thus if this is true, it'll only make sense that if he transitioned into being emotionally available, that could explain why he's finally taken the time to see you for who you are and/or actually decide to like what he's seeing in you.

If you 2 have been more open (intellectually & emotionally) with eachother lately that could explain his random & sudden outburst of admiration for you. Aquas like their space & all but I mean as with anyone, they need to spend a considerable amount of time with someone in order for that person to actually stick in their minds (compared to all the other 100 distractions).

Krysrenee, your points have been really helpful! As well as everyone else. SD, you don't have to worry about hijacking my thread. It's for everyone, lol. We all have things we need to figure out, so it's helpful when someone else is also in the same boat as you. I do hope things work out with your aqua man.

So, just to clarify, I have two aquas in my life that have suddenly taken an interest in me (although, one of those aqua men I'm still unsure of considering it's out of nowhere, but he's still a good friend regardless). One is more obvious that he's interested in me, the other has just been more attentive and talkative as of late.

Number 1 for either aqua man hasn't occurred yet. While I'm not really gunning for it, I'm still getting to knwo either guy (although, one I've known longer).

Number 2 definitely describes the aqua man I've known longer. Just at the beginning of this month, we've been talking a lot more lately. I mean, we've spoken before, passing conversation, writing on each other's facebooks, but nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing I can say is that he broke up with his girlfriend maybe a month or two ago.I was in his apartment complex trying to find a friend of mine, and he and his friend appeared as they were going back to their rooms. He hugged me, but I wasn't as attentive because I was on the phone. Later on that night, he wrote on my facebook wall, saying we needed to hang out some time, and that night, I got his number. We've been texting a bit, just random, light, yet fun conversation. Usually our conversations consist of him asking me what I'm up to or if I want to come join him in a night of partying or something (like a typical virgo, I say no because it's a random thing, and I'm often not willing to just jump and do smoething at the moment if not prepared in some way). One conversation I told him I had a class in the morning and he said "Haha... sigh..." and I told him not to worry, that we would hang out soon and that it was long overdue. He said he agreed and that "we had better hang out soon." So, basically he has been trying to get me out more lately: strange behavior perhaps?

I suppose 5 has happened as well (from both aquas that is). The others haven't really. I'm really just intrigued because I'm kind of oblivious to things, so I'm still trying to figure out the aqua friend's behavior, considering it's normal yet random to me.

I think Krysrenee is pretty much spot on the money with her observations. In order of occurrence for me personally -

First of all its number 4 - If I'm unsure about someone I will test them first to get some idea of who they are.

Second its number 2 and 3 (I see these points as being very similar) - If I start hanging around with someone a lot then it means I like them. If I cancel appointments with other people to make myself available to them - It means a like them a lot.

Third - I will gradually open up to them. I can talk to people for inordinate lengths of time, prying out the inner secrets. Then one day it will occur to them that despite the undeniable warmth of my company they don't really know much about me at all. So if I let them in by freely answering questions about myself its a good sign, if i freely volunteer information it means I want them to know me better and thats a really really good sign.

Four - I will tell them I like them, honest and upfront.

Five - I will introduce them to my close friends and family.

Grr, muddled spelling and grammar in the last one.

Oh and Krysrenee missed out one - physical contact.

My own personal space isn't a barrier that just applies to my time and availability. I don't like people physically imposing themselves on me without an invitation or an awareness of my openness to such contact - its discourteous and rude.

So when someone invades my personal space and touches me in some way I will flinch - If I don't consider them close. This sometimes occurs with people I define as passing acquaintances. If I object then it means I'm not interested in them as acquaintance material at that particular time, or I need more time to decide how I feel about them. If i tell them to piss off it means I've already decided they don't have any place in my life.

If I accept their impromptu touch without flinching it means I'm very comfortable with them. If I respond to it with some touching of my own it means I'm very into them.

By touching I mean flirtatious touches, the accidental bump, the unexpected hug, the brief touching of hands, face, hair r playful knock-abouts.

The fact that this guy openly hugged you - and you weren't upset and in need of comforting at the time - is a very good sign. I wouldn't do that unless I was very interested in someone.

Wow really good info there from krysrenee and harlquin. Wish I had read this sooner.

My Aqua touched me the other day and I was so shocked that i asked him what he was doing lol. We have slept together but sex is the only time we have physical contact, when we are just hanging out we usually didnt even sit together. I was sat on the floor and infront of everyone he came and sat next to me and put his hand on my leg, proper freaked me out! Im not really a physical person but if i had known this was him showing he liked me I would have definately reacted better 😢

Oh well maybe he will touch me again lol or maybe ive scared him off
