Posted by The_eleventh_sign_11Well,I didn't do it to get his attention.I had to get it off my chest.I had to be honest and it just happened.I myself didn't know all that was about to happen.
I think it's naive to tell someone that you love them for the first time over those as a desperate plea to get attention, that's not something you joke about with an Aqua
Posted by FirstDecanTaurianWomen0428I was not sure about him until this January.I never knew I'll tell him so soon.But I did and his denial hurt.I have to move on.I don't know how I'll handle it,but I'll prefer not talking to him anymore,I can't.He's the first person I've ever told I love them and when it's not reciprocated,it hurts bad.
@Op - I know this blows, but never settle as a taurus i myself do this but now I think it must be a very good reason to separate when it's time..
Posted by truecapI know,I never wanted to tell him that because I knew what might happen,but I did I don't know why.And as much as I understand him,I think it's time now to pack my b
Oh, hun, I feel your pain.
The emotional response probably made him very uncomfortable and icky. I think he was being honest with you and you responded all emotionally. Aquas don't handle emotional outbursts very well and this will cause him to distance because he doesn't want it happening again. Nothing wrong in saying how you feel, but with them you have to keep it rational and not emotional.
My personal experience here - You can not pressure an aqua, nor can you can not rush one to be ready for a relationship. They will rebel. They will do this on their own terms, not yours. That's why we are advised to give an aqua space and let them have time to process and come to the commitment stage on their own free will. It's also why it is so meaningful when they do finally decide to commit. It has to be their decision, not pressure from you.
Most men will not enter a relationship until they feel like they have all their ducks in a row, their lives in order, some of their goals achieved, finances in order, living situation where they want - then it's time to look into relationship. They don't allow themselves to fall in love until they're ready to fall in love.
You say that love should be enough. Well, it's not for most men. I'm not an aqua, but I do have aqua mars and I think Aquas will not commit to a relationship unless they think you are "the one" and they are considering more than just a relationship (they are considering marriage, kids, etc). When they get into a relationship, they take it seriously. That's why there are so many threads about aquas not wanting to commit. And you have to look from the outside in, as hurtful as it may be, just because you love him, does not mean that he loves you. I don't mean to be hurtful with those words, but it is something you need to consider that may help you move on. (Again, I'm so sorry for saying that).
My advise for you is to sit back, wait, give him space and let him process what has happened and let him decide if he wants to move forward or not. After some time, if he's not wanting to move forward, you will have to make the decision whether what he is giving you is enough versus whether you still want more. If you want more than he's willing or capable of giving, you need to consider moving on. That will give you a chance to find someone who is on your page and wants more like you do. No sense in hanging on to something that's going nowhere.
Take some time to waller, take some time to yourself to think, take some time to yourself. Take some distance and then come back in a month's time and make the decision that's right for you.

Posted by IlovemyaquaYou're doing the right thing.
Contd: I think it's time now to pack my bags,not to look for someone else but to detach from him.We're humans and unrequited love hurts.I know why he's not ready but I somehow can't take it.I'm a commitment phobe so me wanting to commit was a surprise for myself too.He's also asking me to meet,perhaps so he doesn't feel all guilty but I'm not sure if I want to,I don't want sympathy.
Posted by truecapI don't know why I'm telling you this but I've never been in a relationship, no matter how much I liked them because I never felt that way.He was the first one,maybe that's why it's hurting me so bad.Also,we've known each other for four years now,we've confessed feelings four years back,have been dating since September,I think four years is a lot of time to decide,if not a relationship then atleast to decide if you love someone or not.If he's still undecided,I think he'll never love me.College is about to end,we'll go to different cities for our jobs now.Idk,I saw things that never existed maybe,maybe I was too much in love to see the red flags.I'm an idiot,sigh,that's what cupid does to you.Sorry for the rant.Posted by IlovemyaquaYou're doing the right thing.

Try not to take it personally. It's not you. It's just bad timing. Sometimes things just don't work out and those experiences make us stronger, more confident really for the next relationship. Not everybody is going to love us and we're not going to love everybody. Not everyone's right for us and we're not right for everyone. Take that mindset and let it make you more confident.
At least you know and got your answers. He didn't leave you hanging. That shows his respect for you and in the end that's all any of us really want - is to be respected.

Posted by capricornmoonYes,I know what you mean.
They're really not that in love with you.

Posted by GennieYou sound like my aqua man when he said the gravity of the question of getting into a relationship is as much as that of making a decision to have kids.
We are all in, all the way, marriage and kids and whatever else comes through the door.
Posted by Gennieis this an air dominant thing?? forcing love?
You can't force love and that goes double for Aquas. When I fall in love, I'm like a bull in a china cabinet, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Using myself as an example, since I have a LOT of Air and Aqua, I wasn't even sure I was into my Scorpie and I was quietly planning an exit strategy that wouldn't leave him heartbroken because I didn't want him to get too attached. Then he did something that warmed my heart and suddenly I was looking inward at deep feels (RUN FROM THE FEELINGS). But when it clicks for an Aqua, that stubbornness and intolerance focus' into determination. We are all in, all the way, marriage and kids and whatever else comes through the door.
If you cross paths again, and decide to give him a second chance, don't make it easy, make him prove it.


Posted by tizianiI think it will be healthy for me to give up any hopes now.I was very guarded,very cautious about everything and then I thought,
As for the OP at least you both left with the respect. With that anything is possible.
Posted by sultrykittyI know you somehow relate to my posts.And I remember you mentioned somewhere that you both went through alot before finally settling in.I don't know,should efforts really be put in?if he does decide to be with me,will it be genuine or just because I was consistent?Because that will not be good.
Yep. Mine was the same way. Exactly. Fought tooth and nail against his feelings but did eventually give in. That's when all the games and uncertainty stopped.
Posted by tizianiYes,perhaps 🙂 I like what you wrote about the character thingy 🙂 different thought there 🙂Posted by IlovemyaquaIt's your choice. You know what's best for you. I'm just pointing out that two people can leave with a lot less than what you both gave each other. You only have to look at some of the other stories around here to see. So maybe you can take it as a good sign of your own character that you were able to provoke the side out of a man that respects you enough to tell you the truth without stringing you into doubts, and akso cares about your wellbeing (as he showed).Posted by tizianiI think it will be healthy for me to give up any hopes now.I was very guarded,very cautious about everything and then I thought,

'you know wht? Chuck it,I'll just be positive and see how it goes'.
Idk,maybe this was meant to happen and I blurted everything out,and the result wasn't in my favour.So I think not hoping will protect my sensitive little heart.Haven't ever bared it to anyone and the results were bad when I did.
It's possible to do this and not hope for anythjng more, right? Just a thought.click to expand


Posted by lisabethur8It's not conquest, it's a campaign. It's not force, it's persuasion, it's seduction, it's showing the other person WHY it's a fabulous idea. Aquas tend to fall into love with close friends, so the trust and bond is already there. Moving from friendship to relationship is a natural progression for us based on what has already transpired. When an Aqua loves you they are saying they want to do whatever the two of you have been up to for the rest of their lives. It's the reason the wandering visionary comes home every night.Posted by Gennieis this an air dominant thing?? forcing love?

i notice that there are men who wait in the wings for women to be vulnerable and in hopes that he will capture her in her vulnerable state, IGNORING that she doesn't love you back...not in the way he would like.
and then the relationship turns BAD and toxic because DEEPLY there was no love and foundation to begin with.
just CONQUEST.click to expand

Posted by GennieThis is what I was trying to say. I'm not an aqua so I couldn't explain it the way an aqua can.:

Posted by capricornmoonI don't know if it would be settling. Sometimes you have to lose something to appreciate it and realize what you had.Posted by tizianiNo, that's not what I said. If he tries to go back to her, weasel his way back into her life,SHE should know that' he is just settling.Posted by capricornmoon"He will not let time and circumstance stop the relationship from growing"Posted by tizianiNo it's not. Like I said, it depends on the scenerio. Her scenerio poses no favors to her. That Aqua is just blowing hot air, if and when he meets somebody he really likes, he will not let time and circumstance stop the relationship from growing. Hell he might even tell that girl that he loves her before she gets a chance to.Posted by capricornmoonThis is a really strange way to think. Honestly really strange. When it comes to love it's like you want to lose no matter what.
And if he comes back., then he's settling. Some women are ok with being a second choice back up. Usually those women aren't really in love with the guy either, it's a mutually beneficial opportunistic relationship. But for you, it won't work because you've allowed your heart to run faster than you can walk. It will sting.
That's exactly why it isn't settlingclick to expand

Posted by capricornmoonI disagree. Not everything is so black and white in personal relationships. It depends on the situation. However, If he left her for someone else and that didn't work out and came back to her, I would agree with it being settling. In this case, though, he just doesn't want a relationship, so if he came back it would be possible he realized he had those feelings afterall.Posted by truecapPossible. But this set it free and if it comes back thing was born out of the delusions of western Hollywood movies, if he comes back just know his reasons are more self serving than anything. She's still a second choice either way.Posted by capricornmoonI don't know if it would be settling.

Posted by capricornmoonTheir relationship isn't/wasn't as one sided as your posts seem to suggest.Posted by tizianiThat's one scenario. A second scenario is what I just stated above., *second choice* Either theory is a bitter pill to swallow for most deluded women.
I know this is the hardest thing for women to accept and possibly never understand
But very often men just don't want a woman at all. Not this one. Not that one. Not any one.
If you're talking about Western delusions then the coping mechanism of "he didn't want me because he wants some other woman" is right up there at the top.

Posted by capricornmoonI don't know how my post is coming across but I'm writing here on DXP because I've been posting about him and these guys know what the situation is,so I like to let it out here because one I'm anonymous and two it feels good to discuss.I don't talk about feelings much to people in general, face to face because I hate being vulnerable but here it's okay,it's soothing because I'm anonymous.And two,I love him and hate myself already for being selfish enough to ask for a relationship.Maybe selfish sounds big but that's just how I am.Also,for me, love is prime,relationship is just an accessory but hey I feel bad because I'm human and who'll not what to be with someone they love? Getting turned down hurts,really,so I need space too,why? Because I don't want my negativity to affect him and also,it will give me time to heal so I can get back,if I may,without a bruised heart and expectations.Posted by tizianiWhat growth, Lol. The kind of growth that has her posting on Dxp and trying to doge him and keep her pride In tact?Posted by capricornmoonOr they're just moving into a new relationship thanks to growth.Posted by tizianiNo, that's not what I said. If he tries to go back to her, weasel his way back into her life,SHE should know that' he is just settling.Posted by capricornmoon"He will not let time and circumstance stop the relationship from growing"Posted by tizianiNo it's not.

An Aqua would rather break your heart and try to fix it sooner rather then wait 5 years down the road and really devastate someone. Now that is a broad generalization that doesn't take into account other placements, but I am speaking from a purely air point of view.click to expand

Posted by capricornmoonWe're dealing with AQUA men here.

Posted by lisabethur8Yes we're talking about Aquas and Aqua Males in particular and their relationship woes. There might be a small subset of oddly placed Aquas who don't pull partners from their friend pools, but I haven't met any. We're the last ones to say "I love you" even when we want to, we seem almost physically incapable of choking the words out unless some whiskey is involved. Other sites says we fall in and out of love easy if we also have Venus in Aqua but that's incorrect. We fall in love with deep and meaningful friendships. We fall in infatuation with people who have ideas we find innovative, kinda like hero worship. We seem to get over heartbreak the fastest of all the signs. When we decide to settle down, it doesn't matter how far we wander, we always come back home.
ops got passionate there lol
it might be you all are talking about aquarius males? wouldnt it depend on their mars/venus??

Idk,I believe,if you love someone,no matter how difficult it is,you always take a chance because maybe things work.He said the question of getting into a relationship for him was of the same gravity as planning to have kids! Idk,I think if someone won't want to get into a relationship,it's because they don't feel strongly enough.If I love you,I'll love being with you.So maybe it's all over? Yeah,maybe he does like me as a friend but it's difficult for me,after all that we've had.I don't know if I can talk to him for a while now.I feel stupid and exposed.I have fear of rejection which is why I keep my feelings guarded all the time.Now that he's refused,I feel sick but somewhere I know whatever happened, happened for good,atleast I won't have false hopes now.
Also,one thing I've realised is,although I felt lead on,I think Aquarians don't actually lead you on.They themselves don't realise what they're doing,they just do what they feel momentarily,and their SO get lead on.No hard feelings for you Aquas.You ppl are naive and cute,and that's deadly,ask me,lol 🙂
