Yo. First time poster, long time lurker...
Ok I have been seeing/hanging out/dating this Aqua guy for about...mmm 5 months? Give or take whatever. In the beginning it was typical. Here and there yadda yadda, disappear, come back BFF. I put my foot down regarding the matter and let him know that although Im not trying to label I would need consideration regarding things he was doing as "tests" I guess and little things that would never fit right. We cleared up alot. Had a long talk and then started up again, business as usual.

As of late we've been conversing more, hanging out more & more (I even got him to open up whhhaaaa?!) and lately the topic of "sex" has entered our mainstream communication. We had dinner last night and there were definite cues sent of high energized sexual intention. I didnt act on it, I didnt push it. He was more physical, though elementary in nature. Im used to a more direct, dominant approach with guys who want me.

I want to take it to that next step however hesitate because lately we've been really cool/chill/hot with each other. My question is: when is the right way to bring sex into this tango? I like the pace its going and although he HINTS that he wants to and even has said he's leaving that up to me...I dont want it to change the dynamic for the bad (as in he thinks Im easy etc etc..) but Id ultimately like to make this a more serious relationship. Advice?

Welcome!

Well, it has been 5 months... so, I don't think he'll consider you easy. As for his lack of dominance, he was taking ques from you - as you said, he is leaving it up to you (Mars in Libra?). In any case, if you want to, do it, if you don't want to, don't - simple as that. The outcome may be the same either way...

In any case, what are his other placements. What about yourself?

Hey Girl (?) thanks for the welcome!
His Mars is in Sag? Mine is in Cap. What does that planet control or whatever? Or "may" have control over etc? I have an Aqua rising. I dont know his. If you ever watch "Awkward Black Girl" thats just what it was like..haha...Im laughing but still dying a little on the inside. You know how you think you're so smooth and it'll all play out like some movie starring some FOX Searchlight actor...yeah that didnt happen... LOL!

Give him the assurance verbally that you're comfortable taking it to the next step by actually saying so and he'll prob respond with more assertiveness (hes being respectful / maybe even extra cautious just as you are). If a guy says he's leaving it up to you... basically, that's what he literally means. He's ready to party. Make the next move.

If you don't want a FWB situation, then don't sleep with him. Make him take you out several times and/or spend time with you without sex in a date type situation would be my normal advice. But it seems like you're already doing that. So, I don't think it will. Just make sure he's exclusive first.

I had told my Aqua that I didn't want to see or meet anyone else and that I thought he should know. He said he appreciated that then told me a woman had invited him for dinner and had told her he was seeing someone. I said then I guess we're on the same page. He said looks like it. That was it. Then we began a more intimate relationship after that.



Awwww!!! *girl squeal* so cute! Lol yeah.... My best friend told me to do that as well. Ask if he's sleeping with anyone or has gf or dating whatever but to ask that question makes me weary because then it'll be OUT there lol so I'm like um... It's childish but it's like when you're little "don't tell him I think he's cute unless he says he thinks I'm cute first" lol
