I'm a libra-virgo cusp with venus in Libra and leo-moon who has been seeing an aquarius-sun, venus in capricorn, leo in libra man for 2 months. I'm really into him, but have been afraid to voice this to him because that is just not my style and I'm afraid to scare him off. He is the first man that I have not been able to read. But after doing some research am more confident that he feels the same as me. He works insane hours , but still manages to get together with me a couple of times a week. Constantly is talking about his accomplishments, his work ethic, and offering to help me in different ways.

Because I was unsure of where we stood, I've taken a slight step back, and have cancelled dates with him twice. But now that I have a better idea of how he feels I'm worried that I may be throwing him off or scaring him away. Do you think he's viewing me as "being (not playing) hard to get" or just plain flaky? What can I do to get my footing back in this relationship?

Should I thank him again for things he's done in the past- or will this seem like I'm coming on too strong? It's only been 2 months so I don't think its appropriate to come right out and tell him exactly how I feel about him- because I think I'm beginning to fall in love and I'm worried that would scare him off. I'm also well aware of my Libra tendency to rush head first into love- only to have it burn out a few months down the road and don't want this to happen with him. Please Help!

His venus is in Capricorn. And I've mentioned to him that I was wondering what this was- not wanting this to be a "booty call" or casual fling and his response was that he did not view this a booty call and he was a little offended that I could've mistaken it for that. He said he would not have had me come and visit him at his hospital while he was working - which he never does. Or invite me to his hospital's charity event had I just been a booty call. Which makes sense to me sense.

Sounds like he's into you.
Oh, please hun, stop the games. His VIC will want to know where he stands. If you play games, you give the impression that you're not into him as well. Just go with the flow. Let him take the lead - and I promise you it WILL be slow. Allow him time to build the relationship. Again, it WILL be slow.

After significant time (say, 8-9 months - NO SOONER), then you can tell him how you feel. And when you do, don't expect to hear it back. But be confident about it and own it. Let him hear it and process it. If he keeps in contact, you will know you did the right thing. If he doesn't scare off, he's into you and feels the same.

Give him time (LOTS of time) for him to be comfortable with the idea.

Patience will be key with this one.

- My guy of 4 years has aqua sun, venus in capricorn. I handled it as above. No pressure, just faith and confidence.
I can't speak for the other placements, so that would be a variable.

VIC takes relationships seriously. Cautiously, but seriously. I don't know any VIC that does FWB (I'm sure there are some that do, but I don't know any).

if you know he is going to work insane hours, you're just gonna have to deal with it.

if you can't handle it, just find someone else.

I don't really bother with men who work too many hours everyday. I don't mind them working a lot at home though. so for me putting myself in your shoes, I wouldn't bother.

but you are venus libra leo moon so I don't know. it doesn't sound very appealing.

and when he boasts about his accomplishments, do you feel proud of him?? what are your feelings??

Venus in Capricorn likes to show their responsibility and work ethic and accomplishments to prove to the other that they're a good partner. i think his boasting is trying to show her he will be a good provider.
that's true.

venus in Capricorn men win you by being reliable and responsible, and showing off their accomplishments.

I have to remember venus and moon for men are what their NEEDS/attractions are, and the mars is how they go about it.

Okay, so he doesn't think you are a booty call, he thinks you are a friend that he has sex with? Tell him we need more clarity damn it. WTF. JK

Awesome advice! I will definitely try what you've said. This is the game plan I normally follow and has never failed me. But for some reason, with this guy I'm all over the place. I think it's mainly because I can't read him. Which I'm always able to read men and adjust accordingly. But there's not much for me to go off of in this case...

He has an extremely impressive "resume" lol- which has built a lot of my admiration and respect towards him. But I'm not use to having someone throw all of their credentials at me so early on, but I pass it off as it being normal. Honestly at first I thought it was a little tacky, but after learning more about venus in capricorn I view it completely differently and every now in then I throw out some of my own accomplishments 🙂

I agree with the poster who said let a significant amount of time pass and then don't expect to hear it back. I was the one who said it first in my relationship and it was maybe about 6 months in and he didn't say it back until a few months later...and that was fine with me because I knew he said it when he felt it instead of just saying it because I did.

My Aqua bf is not big on words of affirmation but he will do it sometimes because he knows I like it and I want to hear it. But we don't say I love you every day. He does little things to show his love instead.

Your Aqua may vary.
Will do! This pacing thing is difficult for me because I've always fell in love fast in the past and moved pretty quickly. But that's never worked out well for me because after he would fall in love too, I was kind of over it :/ So I'm willing to give this tortoise-like pace a try

I have Venus in Capricorn . I Cant count the number of times potential dates and GFs have lost interest in me because they thought i wasnt interested. I say you have to give him a lot of time and respect his space. My GF is a libra and she was trying really hard to get my attention. Think of Venus in Capricorn as tough dirt that needs a lot of watering and work to get through. In the end it was her persistence and integrity that convinced me.
Ok, I can manage that. I know what it means to me-- but as an Aquarius, what exactly does "respecting your space" mean? Thanks!

@ bumboklatt As a libra, I understand how its sometimes easy to just suddenly loose interest in someone. And so some part of me worries that that is what may happen if I don't hear from him for a while. But as a venus in cap, do you find that happening often or is it more so that the girl loses interest first while you were still interested? Thanks again for all your help 🙂
sorry for the late reply

Well thats a totally understandably legitimate worry. My Libra girl always tells me shes worried I might leave her. Speaking for myself,

I dont lose interest very easily since I see it as a waste of time to open up to a girl then just make it awkward with some lame excuse..... AND to make it MORE CONFUSING I still want to be friends with her even if she loses interest. If I had ONE piece of advice it would be to just be as HONEST and DIRECT as possible with any Aquarius, that way at least if they don't follow through you'll know it wasn't entirely on you.

P.S. Libras are totally adorable with their concerns hahaha thats why I love my girl

Thanks for your reply 🙂 Just to update you on the situation- I haven't seen him in the last 3 weeks 😢 He calls and/or texts consistently-- which was about every other day. But in this last week I've only heard from him 2 times... He said that he's been extremely busy with work. And I want to believe him, but I don't get how he could go almost a month without seeing me.

I'm starting to think that maybe he's just lost interest or is seeing someone else- bc he was able to see me much more frequently before. I'm, confused because if he is no longer interested, why does he continue to contact me...And if he is still interested, why am I getting less and less of him—
