I was telling my Aquarius guy I have been seeing seriously for a lil over 2 months today on the things I love about him and appreciate about him and how happy Im to have him in my life etc. We have known each other since Feb of 2015 but I decided to cut it off with him at that time because I still had feelings for my ex but the new Aquarius guy friend said he would wait for me & be here for me. However months later in Oct. 2015 I came back into the picture & let him know I was interested in him & then from there we started going out to the movies & dinner.

A little over a month into going out & finding out more about each other & him introducing me to his son that he loves & has custody of ..we started to have sexual relations. So he has invited me to his home & has cooked for me on 5-6 occasions & special dinners along with talking to me on the phone for 2-3 hours sometimes. He has also been making plans for us to go on a mini vacation end of Jan for his birthday. My problem is I dont understand we have told each other very personal things about our lives & connected on a deep level but he has not yet ask me to be his girlfriend. On 12-25-15 he told me this and I will quote it word for word "Merry Christmas love,n yes I look forward to advancing our friendship and going to the next level,and letting everything fall in place." We have both discussed wanting a serious relationship & he has brought up to me on a couple occasions about he may want me to be his wife one day & he is looking for a lifetime partner & his last relationship etc.

I recommended staying with him for a couple days for New Years eve and New Years Day and leave day after New Years & he agreed. We live 45 mins away from each other. He had to work all 3 days but he cooked for me & made me a special drink & allowed me to stay in his home for 8 hours while he went to work & he said that is a big thing for him because he don't let anybody stay in his home when he is not there. Also he introduced me to his best friend for the first time on New years eve & he told him he may make me more then just a friend but the end of the night but that didn't happen. He told me he wanted to have me listen to 3 songs when I went home & he sent them & all 3 were love songs talking about Me & him being together through thick & thin,saying he is a lucky guy to have someone like me & he never met anyone like me and that I make all his dreams come true & I don't have to show how much I care for him because I show him every day etc. We met on a online dating site & I took my profile down about a month ago but he kept his up but I checked through a fake account & notice he has taken his profile down now. My question is we have actively been seeing each other since end of Oct 2015 & he makes me feel very special when we are together & he contacts me & me him on a daily basis & I know he really deeply cares for me & me for him so why is it he is stalled at asking me to be his girlfriend you think?

I think you should go with the flow and not consume yourself with labels. His actions should be enough for you to see that you're already his "girlfriend".

Or you could be like me and ask him to be your boyfriend. Traditionally the guy is supposed to, but if you love him and vice versa then there's no reason you can't ask him.

He sounds like a sweetheart with a lot to offer. Why move on from that?

OMG u have just made my night and I think you are very correct but sometimes we need to hear it from someone elses perspective :-). I'am a cancer woman so I'm very impatient sometimes & get emotional at times because I hear so many people saying negative things about if a guy doesn't make you his girlfriend then you are just a fwb situation etc.

He's probably delaying the relationship just how you made him wait for you, am I right? You made him wait for 9mos. Just to get together.

Be patient, can you not do that's him since he did it for you??

And an Aqua, you'll be waiting for a while. He's going to take his sweet time before becoming committed to anyone. Nothing you do will change his mind fast enough. If you do he will step back.

Wow your insight is great & on point. Your right because he told me on a couple occasions saying I made him wait & I hurt him when I left him the first time etc. Yes I can wait because I really love this guy & the way he makes me feel. Thank you for your input you & the other poster have really made me feel better :-)

One more question & I know it is a TMI but here it goes lol- A few nights ago when we were in our sexual encounter lol..he said what else do I love & I said I loved him and he said"Thats good because I love you so much" Now could that be his true feelings or heat of the moment for a Aquarius guy? He has said things before jokingly like You know daddy luv u baby & laugh or one day I said one day you gone love me so much and he said how do you know I don't already and he said but I want tell you lol.

You're welcome!

Patience is a virtue and emotion is fine...as long as it doesn't control you or dictate your relationship for you.

Don't take their opinions too personal. The way he treats you should be the only qualifier. If it don't apply, let it fly.

Š good luck.

Honestly I would just chill out. My father is an Aqua who has a birthday in late January too this sounds just like him.
What he said to you on Christmas was very telling. They take having a friendship first then going to the next level very seriously. You have to allow it to be organic. Don't get in your head and start over thinking anything. 2 months is not long at all so just ease up and take it one day at a time. Literally. If he feels pressure from you he will def back up and get second thoughts. Be easy breezy and relax

Thank you & more great advice I will just chill & go with the flow for now.

Yes I understand your point but I did not ask him how he felt he asked me & I told him & he then told me he loved me so much. My question is more so do you find when the Aquarius men say something so deep during sex is it usually their true feelings..I feel it is but want to know your point since you have Aquarius Bf. I will go with the flow as I have been I promise lol :-)
I understand. I'm attempting to show you the bigger picture. If someone you love tells you something so profound, shouldn't you trust they are telling you the truth? Sex is intense and can be emotionally riveting so it is possible it just slipped out. That doesn't mean he's being dishonest. It could very well mean that he enjoys it so much that he couldn't contain it.

My boyfriend won't say anything he doesn't mean. Do you know what he says during sex? "You like that babe?" I nod and he goes deeper. "Fuuuuuuuck!" I go faster. "I love you...". I reply back and say, "I love you too."

All Aquarius are not the same and that has to be realized. I knew one who was indecisive and somewhat of a player. He did not mean what he said in any context.

Yes true I just reread what you said very true. I like your advice & your patience to explain. It sounds very right. I'm going to take this advice & apply it :-)

How long should I wait for him to ask me to be in a committed relationship with him? Do you think he is getting ready to ask me soon since he took his profile down & he has been telling me he had somethings planned for us but he didn't want to tell me everything yet because its a surprise?
Everything is going great!!!!!

He will ask you when he's ready, don't rush him. Aquas like things to happen organically. This is the stage in a relationship with an aquarius that you have to be patient.

I think it was around the 5 month mark when we made our relationship "official". And it was never a formal thing. His family just started calling me his girlfriend and one day he said "his uncle suggested he bring his girlfriend out there to meet him" - his quote to me. One day I wanted to make sure and told him I had gotten asked out but I turned them down because I didn't want to date anyone else. He said he had also turned someone down for the same reason. Bam! Official. (informally).

Anyways, give it a few more months. I bet you won't need that long, though.

But he TREATS you like a girlfriend. He doesn't treat you like an FWB. That's the difference and in this case patience will be key.

Honestly, don't put a lot of weight on something that a man says during sex. It could be the sex they are actually loving. (general rule of thumb).

However, in your case I think he does love you because of the way he treats you. Actions tell MUCH more than words. My aqua took a year and a half to tell me he loved me. Now almost 4 years in the relationship, he tells me all the time. However, I knew early on he did love me because of the things he would do for me. And you can read it in their eyes. Aqua eyes really are an insight into the soul.

Awesome advice ^^

I had to quell my cardinal tendencies to push things along. But, I took advice from these good folks here and eased up and learned to go with the flow. That's when my relationship really started grooving along and progressing.

TrueCap- I'am so happy to have all of u guys because you are honest unlike family & friends of mine. I'm taking all of this advice in & will just let it flow. Im so clueless when it comes to hints or Informally stating it lol I hope I get it if that happens. He did send me 3 songs 2 days ago and one song said You/Me and it asked can we be together can you look at it & tell me if maybe I missed something lol
I think he was asking me & once I listened to this one & the other 2 songs
&
I stupidly said do u feel that way about me baby & he said Maybe. Could he have been officially asking me to be his gf then & I missed it lol? I will just keep my eyes open & keep calm & go with the flow as u & others have said but Im hoping I didn't miss what he was saying & looked dumb 😢.

You're reading too much into it. It's just a song. You asked if he felt that way and he said "maybe" and that's a pretty good sign. He's starting to think your way. You just might be in different places right now, just have to wait for him to catch up.

And two months, in my opinion, isn't long enough to know someone well enough to make a decision. It usually takes about three months to decide if this is someone you want to move forward with. So, like we said, slow down and stop analyzing everything. It will happen in it's own due time.
