Soft spot for my Aquarius guy friend

After realizing I posted this in the wrong forum, I'm going to go ahead and post it on here as well. I really need some insight.


I'm a 26 year old female who is interested in a childhood friend. I've been crushing on him hard for as long as I can remember! I'm a Virgo, my moon is in Aquarius as well as my rising sign. Since he is unsure of his exact birth time, all I know is that he is an Aquarius with his moon POSSIBLY being in Cancer.

Like I said, we are childhood friends. He was my first kiss. it was quite obvious (or at least I thought so) that I liked him growing up. However, he was always so hard to read. Our mothers were close friends, so we spent quite a bit of time together growing up. Nothing really happened between the two of us and eventually we just stopped talking altogether (life got in the way).

A few years back and I receive a message from him on Facebook. Since then, we've been staying in touch.. Nothing constant but every so many months he would call me just to talk and occasionally send a text my way. I didn't think much of it. Over the past year, our phone calls and text messages have increased, from every couple of months to pretty much weekly now.. He's usually the one initiating contact. We have talked on the phone for hours a few times. It seems like he really enjoys talking to me. He lives a little over 30 minutes away from me, has family that lives close by and surprised me with a visit over the summer. When we talk he is always talking about wanting to see me, even said he missed me.

I recently made a trip over to see him and we spent time together. He was very sweet, affectionate and throwing in a few compliments. He was hugging me, kissing my cheek and forehead, playing with my hair, noticing the scars on my face and asking about them.

After I left, I didn't hear anything from him the rest of the day, I wanted to give him his space and figured he would talk to me when he was ready. He texted me the next day, it was a short conversation and we didn't talk the rest of the day. Then he sent me a "good morning" text yesterday, had another short text conversation. A few hours later I decided to call him, left him a voicemail and he called back about an hour or so later. He said he had a headache, that he needed to use the restroom and would call me back, he didn't call back. Ever since I came over that day, he has been a little distant.

Sorry if this post is a little long but I'm having a difficult time figuring out how he feels. He's been very hot and cold with me, showing me interest for a few days and then disappearing for days. I have been giving him his space, letting him come to me but I feel I might be scaring him away? Maybe? I do have feelings for this guy and just need to know if this is his way of playing games with me and he's stringing me along? Is he really interested? What is this guy thinking?

Appreciate you taking interest in knowing him better.

It happens if we show more than we naturally do to someone. I did this moving distant thing with my gf when I expressed to her my interest. It is just that we are a touch concerned if we showed more than we needed to. If you understand that?

Hey there. I am an aqua man. If an aqua man likes you, he will not let go that easily. Do not worry. But seeing that he distanced after you guys met, he is thinking. How you talk in the phone and how you actually showed your affection must have been different. I don't know how to say this. May be he was expecting more. Aqua man will NOT back out if you showed him more than what he wanted. Did you text anyone else while there? Take any calls? Any at all? I only need that to upset me. Yes we are psychotic. He might be thinking that you have your own life and he is only a part of it. That makes us lonely coz we don't have many close friends. Make him realise that he means the world to you....
