There is a guy I work with who is an Aquarius and I am a Taurus/Gemini. I'm just trying to clear things up before I make a fool of myself. We have been working together for a few weeks now and I find that I am beginning to like him more and more. I know Aquarius are a friendly lot (experience from being with one for 12 years). So he has told me a lot about himself, to the point where I know about the girls he has/had been talking to. Not sure if he does that with other females as we haven't hung out socially. Where we work I have lots of opportunities to watch him and when he sees me looking he has this smirk smile. I know it sounds creeper as hell so I have stopped doing it as much as I was. But I have also caught him glancing at me. We also have these little private jokes, I don't know how that happened. So being the weirdo I am I tried to connect him with another girl at our job, she hangs out a lot more then I do so I thought it was a good idea - didn't work out. Anyway he asked me today why I had done that. I said because I thought since she went out a lot she could point him to some nice spots to hang out in. (I know that sounds stupid and crazy). Anyway today he spent 45 minutes showing me pictures on his phone. We were pretty much leaning on each other. I teased him a little about some of them, he went way back to like teen years - which was umm apparently an awkward time for him. I did notice that he likes to be close to me when he talks to me. Sometimes he backs away if there are other people around - I don't take it personal. I am painfully shy around guys I like. But I become this super bubbly person with him, like my real self. He said he likes talking to me - which I will take as a compliment. Now there's no need to worry about space, as I don't like being crowded all the time either and I did tell him a little about myself. He says he would like to get married (in general conversation)- I told him I was divorced and he asked if I would like to get married again. I said yes as I made a very good wife.
There is an age difference between us and I have a kid - so I'm not one to jump into anything until I think it through a bit - any suggestions would be really great.
It's possible he likes you. Don't chase him, but give him a green light that you're interested. Whatever you do, don't rush him.
Notice how he interacts with other women at the office. If it is the same, then he thinks of you the same as he does them. Friends. Keep in mind that aqua men are friendly and natural flirts and a lot of women misinterpret their friendly ways as flirting.
If he is different with you, then that tells you more what you want to know.
Just observe for a while and flirt back. Keep him guessing and keep conversations lively and interesting.
@Lust - I have no problem with someone being controlling. It was soemthing I liked about my ex husband, it give me freedom to do other things.
OK so I haven't been chasing him and have cut down on the amount of times I just watch him. I still catch him glancing at me and I smile a little. I have been watching how he talks to another girl that works here. It was a pretty long conversation, but they kept a lot of space away from each other. I have been trying to read his body language around me, but it is hard to figure out.
He actually called me on some bullshit - there was a group of us - but I said something along the lines of no one believes me anyway. He said it was because I was so sarcastic.
Today he was talking to me about paypal - so we were disagreeing on something. He came up to show me something to prove his point.He was pressed up against my arm.I have NEVER seen him actually lean against anyone he has been talking to. Another thing is sometimes I continue talking when in a group of people, not very loudly and more to myself if anything. No one has EVER noticed this before. He does and responds - its thrown me a couple of times.
He's also doing something weird as of late, he keeps saying he has somethng to tell me, but then stops himself. I keep saying he should just say it - since there is no way he could say anything that would offend me.
Tonight we have a big event going on at my job. Everyone will be here and I will get to see how he really interacts with other women. Wish me luck.
Hello - so I wanted to update on what is going on. Still a bit confused.
So the party happened - as it was a social event with clients it was ok for employees to have a few drinks, and while not mingling with clients also hung back in the office. While my purpose there was not to mingle but to try and keep things tidy I would often find myself around the food table or opening bottles of wine. Although I didn't follow him around I would often turn and find him either behind me or next to me. When the times we were in the office came about he was either sitting and glancing at me or standing next to me. Every time he would stand next to me he would find some reason to be in my personal bubble - either lingering or leaning/brushing against me.
But I have been paying closer attention to what he is saying and what he is doing. But a few things that sort of perked me up a bit.
1) He had hurt his hand while teaching and I went into "healer mode". Which I do for everyone - it requires a bit of touching, but not sexual at all. While I was getting him a bandage he said "you are really good at taking care of kids". My response "yes I am, but you are in no way a kid. Oh and FYI that's not what a woman wants to hear from a man"
2) We had been chatting about something or other and he randomly said he would like to meet my son.I didn't actually say no, truth being I didn't really know how to respond. I think I panicked a little bit.
3)He was seeing/sleeping with someone for about a month (yeah he told me about it - cousin of his best friends girlfriend). He would only sees her on the weekends and when she's not around he doesn't even think about her. He felt he was wasting time and felt bad about it - so they broke it off.
4) Apparently he talks to his mom about me - which sort of took me by surprise.
5) I had a random moment where I asked him if we were friends. He said "yeah I guess we are - I seem to tell you everything about me even though we haven't known each other that long."
So that seems to be the thing I have figured out. I have to really pay attention to what he says because I feel like he's telling how he feels, but its kind of hidden a little bit. I just don't know how to act around him. I kind of treat him casual although I kind of flirt. I explain why I do things, which I don't usually do and the reason why I think how I do. I feel like an idiot, like at this point in life I should have it together more - UGHHHHHHH.
