OK so now that Ive lured you in, its story time. You can leave now if you feel you've been had because the subject has nothing to do with the story.

I am an Aquarius rising, Virgo sun, Leo moon, Libra venus.

I have strong opinions and concerns about things one second and the next Im over it. Same with being in like with someone. Never married. No kids.

Ok so theres this Aquarius - Scorp rising, Aries moon, Capricorn venus who has caught my attention. Hes a few years younger than I am so initially I paid him no mind. (I used to be a hardcore ageist like if you were a month younger than me, I ignored you... isnt it weird how we grow up? So dumb. My last boyfriend was 3 years younger... not a good decision but meh).

On a work trip we met. I noticed him during the conference because he was very confident and seemed like such a happy person and dressed very well.

One night we as a group go out. I get a little tipsy and we begin to chat. There was a Taurus buffer (my pal) who would sense the chemistry but basically made sure nothing happened. Come to find out, he has an on and off girlfriend who he was on with at this time. Im not that chick so I let it lie. On the way home he still continues to be nice and friendly and keeps finding ways to make us alone or have to walk together to the plane etc

We work for different divisions so I didnt think I would see or hear from him again. That was in March. Around April he reaches out to me via our work Skype. Its light pleasant conversation. Doesnt go anywhere because I was dealing with a watery Gem at the time and again, didnt know his relationship status. He texts me a little, I get uncomfortable. All communication stops.

Last week - fast forward to August. He reaches out again via our business Skype. We chat. I ask if anything is new. He asks me about my life. We provide the usual updates and then boom - he tells me hes been single for the last few months and asks me out. Whoa whoa... wasnt prepared for that. I was talking to a potential at the time so this Aqua was not on my mind.

We continue to speak, its light, then this Thursday that just passed we chat more/all day and then the conversation kind of just stops. This was typical behavior but my curiosity is tingling and I want to give it to it. I reached out to him on Friday just a hello, no response. He has made it very clear that he wants to go out and also very clear that he would like to have sex I told him that I am not looking for anything casual and that he has done nothing to make me turned on. He liked this. Called it sass. However, shortly after he asked if I lived with anyone, the conversation ended (Thursday).

I am a little disconnected simply because there is nothing there however would like some thoughts on how to proceed. Last week he tells me that he wants to go out for my birthday next week to take me to a nice dinner. A part of me is very into that however his previous self gives me pause. Any thoughts?

I dunno, if I thought there was nothing between me and a person I wouldn't really bother.

Is it that you like him but are still unsure of his motives?

I'd just tread lightly, no initiation. If he's interested enough he'll start coming around and being more responsive. Maybe your feelings will grow and you'd proceed naturally..
Hi Silvuh 🙂

Thank you. You hit the nail on the head. I would like to move forward (when Im interested in someone I can be aggressive and very charming) but until I know whats going on, I can be quite passive or dismissive because I HATE being confused...

Like you hinted - Im unsure of his sincerity. Ive made it clear sex will not happen unless there's a connection otherwise whats the point? I like to be catered to initially (Leo moon...) and get to know the person on a level. Doesnt have to be deep, just has to be clear lol and I dont mean take me out to fancy places and show me off... we can just hang at a park with some water but lets keep it funky.

im kinda shocked that a long story such as this had no chemistry anywhere. so not only was the title misleading, but the story was bland as well. sigh. you got me twice OP
Ouch! In hindsight I guess I could have jazzed it up but thats the whole thing... it didnt really get jazzy until this past week. There was definitely some provocative language used (what he wanted to do to me, what he thought would get me going physically) and things that got my nethers going but hes a very subtle flirt so Im not sure it would translate well here.

Just was seeing if anyone with similar placements had any thoughts or suggestions on how to proceed.

I like a woman who presents herself as a challenge to me. It is hot. Whether you play hard to get, or actually are hard to get. I am an Aqua with a Cap moon. For some reason and probably due to my Cap moon and Pisces Venus, I seem to attract Virgo and Cap women.

He is an Aqua with an Aries Moon. The Aries moon. Aries are known to take on challenges whether it's easy or impossible.

Ah ok thank you! This is what I was looking for. My passivity sometimes comes across as "hard to get" until I feel a strong enough connection to be more aggressive. I like this. Thank you very much.

Would you say that you like a constant hard to get or just hard to get in the beginning? I ask because hes basically a Cappy in my opinion. All of his placements except Sun, Moon and possibly rising are Capricorn. All of them lol

sounds like your interested but your leo moon is in denial. and your virgo is over complicating it
That would be a fair assumption. Its like I want to go for it and maybe just be casual but I also dont feel as if hes done anything to deserve it.

I would say Im interested and would be more inclined to go all the way if I knew his true intention. Sometimes when he speaks about sex he does so metaphorically. He says its because he doesnt know if I would be offended or not if he just outrights asks or says what he wants to do etc. I think also because we work together he doesnt want anything too messy or complicated.

Via our communication Im the more blunt one because I like everything out on the table so there's no misguided emotion.

if he's cappy dominant, how is he unreliable? that's so not the nature of a cappy dominant.

if you feel he is not consistent with you, it's probably because he is NOT into you. 😕

Ah perhaps. I dont have any experience with Capricorns so I dont know them either. Ive dated mostly fire signs so other signs completely confuse me. I will say that I only felt compelled because the last week he initiated contact a lot and asked me about going out several times and my birthday next week.

Then on this past Thursday specifically he stressed the idea of going out but our availability for this weekend was off. He joked that he wanted to get married to me but I never give him clear answers & other flirty convo like that. Then I turned the conversation more serious and was surprised that he was receptive to it. I only say surprised because up until then it had been light/jokey. So we talked about what the other liked etc, he asked about my living situation and which city (we're about a city away from each other, maybe 15 minutes) and then he just stopped.

Basically we had begun to get to know each other it, seemed anyway, this week moreso than in past interactions and then nothing. It was agitating because it was I felt "Oh! This is him? I kinda like this"... then poof.

This particular pairing will take some work, but you have a few things going for you.

Aries and Leos tend to work well together. Leo moons are usually all like "Prove yourself!!" and Aries Moons are all like "ARrr Here I come! chestbeat" Both of you are the same moon element, but not with competing energies.

Aquarius + Virgos Suns = great no drama, intellectually stimulating, both love animals, but runs the HUGE risk of having the fire burn out and you end up feeling like roommates. You gotta keep the romance alive.

Cap Venus from him = Wants a serious, goal oriented woman, who appreciates a little romance, but who wont demand large chunks of time as "Proof of Love". Cap Venus is more of demonstrative through little practical things. I don't know too many Aquas with majority Cap placements. The ones that do are handsome, intelligent, socially polite, stubborn, cold with loner personalities.

Your Mars is more important than your Venus, what is it?
