Maybe he is a Pisces guy.. sounds like it from his behavior. When is his birthday?

Posted by LibracookieYeah. I am not that petty either BUT... like I said I just got us tickets for a comedian he LOVES for at the end of May. He heard I was going and wanted to come along. He coordinated with me and was making sure we have tickets and all that. This was only 3 days ago, lol. So if he thinks he is still coming with me, he is delusional. I'll invite someone else.Posted by libragirl1988It is very rude. I would not make any more plans with a person like that or I would and not show up either just to teach them a lesson. Lol
@Libracookie -- yes, I am pissed! And 2 hours before he had said he still wanted to go. Knowing him, he got addicted to his video game and probably smoked weed and was high. Granted, the ticket was only $ 10 but I can't believe he couldn't simply text and tell me he changed his mind. I could never treat ANYONE this way, no matter how I felt about them.
Don't think I'm that petty though. I'll just move on.
Waste of time and energy.

Posted by 9waterlion9I don't try to make it work. I was not seeking a relationship with him, I just enjoy hanging out. I am very detached/cool towards him. We even had a serious talk about the state of our relationship a year ago and he asked me if I wanted "more" and I quickly said no. A few months ago he was still asking me on dates and we went out to fancy dinners alone and such. But now something has changed.Posted by LibracookieThis. In my experience with aquas, when they are into you they will be direct about it...and trying to make it work will only push them further away once they're gone. It's clear if you ever had a chance, it's been long gone. Despite what he says to you, his actions are pretty much screaming indifference to your feelings. He's being a jerk and you have to decide if his occasional company is worth the emotional strain, or if you can detach yourself.
I would be pissed even if it was a friend. You got a ticket for him and he didn't even have the decency to call and say he can't come?
Move on. You're clearly not a priority in his life.

worst thing to do when it comes to dealing with aquas is concealing how you feel, they lose respect for those who don't voice their opinion or show their true feelings about something.
they're concerned with their own intentions NOT their actions so its easy for them to shrug it off and not notice how rude they are whenever they're being assholes
you need to confront them every now and then otherwise you'll end up running in circles
and yeah, take someone else
Posted by starwarsLol. You're right I'm definitely not going to message him. And when he asks about plans for the concert, I'll just tell him I'm taking someone else or that I sold his ticket.Posted by libragirl1988I'd be extra petty, ignore his ass and take someone he dislikes to the other concertPosted by starwars

Do you think I should message him and tell him how rude that was? I wasn't going to say anything unless he contacts me and then I will let him know.

1. he bailed on you couple times before
2. he'd reply whenever he feels like it
I'd be like "so you can bail on me.............................again?"
but I'm in full cap moon mood so don't take my advice too seriously lol

Posted by notsosureI do agree with you... he didn't think I would get upset or hurt so he probably figured why not. I guess I just thought this would be different since he knew I got him a ticket and he confirmed he still wanted to go an hour or two before the show was starting.. He did say he was playing video games and I know he is addicted so I'm sure he played and was getting high smoking weed. When he smokes weed he is kind of a jerk. But I still don't know why he ignored my call, why not just answer and say he changed his mind or send a text? Idk, I guess that would make too much sense haha.Posted by libragirl1988Yeah how is he supposed to know, that all of a sudden it will make a difference to you, that he is being flaky, as he has been this the entire time you´ve been hooking up?
I have known this aqua for a very long time and we have kind of dated on/off for 6 years... I don't know if I want a relationship with him but I do enjoy seeing him. We have had problems because I do not initiate contact enough due to his flaky nature I usually let him come to me. So I have decided to try to invite him to hang out more often. Also, he used to flake on me all the time... the ironic thing was HE was the one who would initiate the plans.. and then he would sometimes leave me waiting without saying anything or he would text me he cannot come anymore due to some silly reason. But, he hasn't been too flaky in the past 2 years... although he did flake on his own plans 2 days in a row a few months ago.
Anyway, I invited him to a concert on Thursday for the next day, he said he could probably go since his flight home would be in by 6:30pm. So I said cool I will get you a ticket and he said thanks.
Friday comes and I texted him after his flight landed to see if he still felt up to going. He replied "yeah, didn't you get the tickets?" And I said yes and asked what time he wanted to go. He said he was playing a video game and asked what time they will start playing. I wasn't really sure so I guessed around 10:30? I did not hear from him after that. I tried to call him around 10:30 and he ignored my call and sent me to voicemail (it only rang 2.5 or 3 times so he clearly hit ignore.) He has not apologized or anything.
WTF? I am not going to contact him. I think I have encouraged this behavior because whenever he has flaked on me in the past, I never confronted him or told him I was upset and hurt. I just would pretend nothing happened and be happy to hear from him again. I cannot do this anymore. If he contacts me, I am going to ignore for awhile and let him know this is not acceptable.
We are supposed to go to another show at the end of May. I know he really wants to go because he was texting me reminding me to get tickets right when they go on sale because they sell out very quick for this particular performer. I have tickets for us and 2 friends, but I might just take someone else at this point.
You just can´t change the rules all of a sudden and expect him to know.

Posted by 9waterlion9You're right I am thinking about it a lot. I guess I do have feelings for him, but even if I did not, I'd still be upset as I thought we were at least friends. I think it bothers me that I cannot figure him out. I will call him out if he contacts me again. We have plans for a comedy show at the end of May... I have a ticket for him but if he doesn't apologize and change his ways I will take someone else. Thanks for the reply!Posted by libragirl1988Then what's the problem? It seems like your taking it pretty personally/thinking about it a lot...if he's just a friend and it's just him flaking on you that's the only issue than call him out. If he cares about your friendship he'll cut it out.Posted by 9waterlion9I don't try to make it work. I was not seeking a relationship with him, I just enjoy hanging out.

Posted by 9waterlion9Thank you! I will. This has been a huge wakeup call that I've always let him walk all over me and I've really never confronted him over anything... in his mind, I will always be there waiting. It is true it is in my nature to be forgiving and avoid drama/confrontation but this is NOT going to happen again.Posted by libragirl1988Yeah I understand...stand up for yourself! 🙂Posted by 9waterlion9You're right I am thinking about it a lot.

Posted by libragirl1988Well that's the issue right there. Beyond the fact that you've condoned his behavior for the 6 years, you've just been "hanging out". There's a very solid chance that he doesn't even think you two have been "dating". This is one of reasons I don't believe in "hanging out as friends". It's just best to make intentions known early.Posted by 9waterlion9I don't try to make it work. I was not seeking a relationship with him, I just enjoy hanging out.

Posted by ChuckcemHey thanks for taking the time to write such a helpful reply! Oh yeah, he doesn't think we are "dating" and nor do I. It is complicated... it was long distance until recently when he bought a house 10 minutes from mine. Neither of us really directly speak about our feelings. I know he has a detached nature and thus I have treated him very casually because I never wanted to scare him off with emotions. I think that was a mistake. I don't think he even knows I have feelings for him... I told him I did about 4 years ago but that was a long time ago and a lot has happened since. Further, I rarely initiate contact and always wait for him which I realized was an issue and have been trying harder now. Although, I'll stop after what happened this weekend.Posted by libragirl1988Well that's the issue right there.

Also know that as an Aqua he can be detached from his emotions. You have to be VERY clear with an Aqua about your intentions and your feelings. They simply won't know unless you tell them. Their logical brains can be "out of sight out of mind" when it comes to feelings in general. That's even holds true when they are acting selfishly. Expect that you'll need to call out an Aqua for this type of behavior. To do this state what you want calmly and logically is the best approach. If the Aqua changes their actions, great. If not, then it's time to leave.
It's definitely messed up that he ditched out on you, but by your own admission, this is normal behavior. If you don't like it, you need to TELL him. Ignoring him wont help the situation. You'll more than likely wind up talking to him at some point upset. Then he'll definitely flip this whole thing back on you. Aquas can do that easily if there is logical loophole. You also need to be real with yourself about your own feelings and intentions towards him. At least tell him "Hey ignoring me was not cool. You clearly don't respect me or my time. I'm out"
Astrology aside, never let someone string you along like this. You've spent six years on/off hanging out and (I am assuming) hooking up right? That's a long time to not communicate your feelings. I'm also assuming you have feelings for this guy since your reacting negatively to him ditching you. I assume you could have taken someone else or sold the tickets otherwsie.click to expand

Posted by libragirl1988Here's what I'll add to that then. Definitely tell him (calmly and logically) how you feel. At this point it just needs to happen because now your feelings are hurt (feelings he's unaware you have). Unless you want to remain just friends, this is the best call. It's also good that he initiates plans. That's what he's supposed to do as a man. It's fine if you initiate too, but just know that he NEEDS to do that if he's actually interested in you.Posted by ChuckcemHey thanks for taking the time to write such a helpful reply!

Yes, his flakiness is a real problem. I suppose this time was different because he flaked on plans I initiated. Like I said, he 90% of the time is the one to initiate plans, and then when he flakes on those I am disappointed, but still feel like he wanted to see me I suppose so I don't get as upset. Further, he hasn't been flaky in a few years but recently started again. And he knew I had a ticket for him so that was also rude... although the tickets were only $ 10 so no big deal. Finally, I feel like it is some head game because just an hour before he flaked he said he still wanted to go... but then sent me to voicemail when I called to see when he wanted to leave.
I know I need to express how bothered I am by his flakiness. It was wrong of me to never tell him how disappointed or upset his past flakiness has made me. But then he would reach out again and I would be happy and not want to cause any issues or get 'emotional' or confrontational with him, so I'd brush it off.
But I definitely need to tell him. Yet, after how he has treated me, I'd rather just ignore him. If he reaches out to me, then I will tell him. But I don't want to initiate a conversation, especially over text. I'd rather talk in person but I don't know how that is going to happen unless he asks me out. I'm sure he thinks it was no big deal.
Sigh. Anyway, sorry for the venting. Thank you for your reply I really appreciate it!
