A very shy Aqua guy and I have been getting to know one another slowly. We experienced crazy chemistry 18 months ago but both ran from it, then slowly began to negotiate a friendship. He has never had a girlfriend and told me many times he is scared of rejection and has trust issues a mile wide. If he bailed on our plans, I would say, "Cool, another time," and he would always follow through later. But recently he upset me by bailing at the 11th hour, so I started to ignore him. Also did not reply to his text. When I saw him, he was tearful and ran after me a bit, then stopped. Now he has just cut me out of his life - says he is too busy to meet up and I just get upset when he is busy. Is there any recovery possible? I am heartbroken. I'm Scorpio, moon in Gemini, Venus in Libra and he's Aquarius, moon in Taurus, Venus in Capricorn.

Just curious.

Are these plans you made or plans he made?

Instead of just ignoring him, why didn't you just directly tell him you didn't appreciate his bailing on you? Why not just tell him how you feel instead of being passive aggressive?

See, in the past when he bailed, you said cool and it was no problem. You set a precedence with him that it was okay to bail. Now he's confused why you got upset because it never bothered you before. Or he doesn't even know that you're ignoring him because he bailed. OR every time he turns around, you're upset with him. So, now he's turned the tables on you and is ignoring you - you started this game. Now you can't handle your own game.

I'm not necessarily taking up for this guy. I'm just saying, had you been more honest and direct from the get go, then you might not be going through this now.
