Use your common sense

Aquarians are "different" & have some weird ways of showing interest/feelings

BUT

Just b/c someone is an Aquarian doesn't mean they have the right to give you mixed signals, play mind games with you or string you a long

The common denominator in situations like that is NOT that they men/women are Aquarians!

The common denominator is that the man/woman is emotionally immature, emotionally unavailable, inconsistent, manipulative, & inconsistent and horrible with communication

Aquarians function just like everybody else when it comes to dating & love

If they like you, they'll TELL you

If they like you, they'll SHOW you

If they truly want you, they won't let you get away. Even if they start with the mind games just to test you, they'll stop once they realize the risk of losing you is high

There is no such thing as "Even though an Aquarian acts like they're not into you at all, don't worry, they're really just secretly in love with you!"

Bull! Stop giving us Aquarians a bad rep!

When we want something, it shows!

Sure, we may like you a little but not ENOUGH or we may just like you vs. loving you, but either way, if you're dealing with someone who values honesty, communication & consistency, AND if you use your COMMON SENSE when dating, you'll know the difference!

USE YOUR COMMON SENSE! If they're showing that they're not that into you, it's not b/c they are Aquarians. No, they're just NOT that into you!! It's that simple sometimes.

Trust your gut. Use your common sense. Trust yourself! Don't accept someone who gives you mixed signals or who won't commit or communicate with you!

The minute you start accepting those things or making excuses for them just b/c they are technically "Aquarians," you open the door for you to be taken for granted & not as respected

Newsflash: Aquarians can't stand people without backbones & who won't speak up! We don't let people lead us on b/c we use our logic & don't argue with the red flags we are seeing. And we respect most the people who are just like us in that way as well

Agree with this. I was involved with four Aquas so far. Apart from the first one (used me to make his ex jealous and got back with her), I always knew where I stand with them. No hot and cold behaviour whatsoever. They like the routine they establish, and could talk about anything bothering them/you.

I think she's right. I've dated three in my life.

The main thing is, if a man's into you, he will persue you like crazy and not ignoring you or disappearing on you. 🙂

gah.

not trying to be a virgo, though i love virgo energy...

but PURSUE.

you do that alot. so it's not the first time.

I mean yeah sometimes the pace for Aquas in the beginning is very slow

But common sense tells you the difference b/w "I haven't seen him in 3 weeks b/c he's just SOOOOO busy" vs. "Even though we're both really busy, we MAKE time for each other at least once a week!"

HUGE difference!!

Common sense shouldn't go out of the window just b/c the person you're dating is an "Aquarian."

Keyword though is that the pace/contact may START out slow, but if they're truly interested in you, it will only INCREASE, not decrease!! lol

If it decreases, they're either losing interest in you, or you've pissed them off in some way.

Hell be glad that Aquarians allow their actions to speak for them sometimes! With that being said, you'd think there'd never be any confusion, but for some reason people seem to be the most confused when dealing with us lol

I don't know how much more obvious it can get that someone isn't into you if they're never contacting you or making you their "part time" or "play time," thing instead of their full time!!!

But hey common sense may not be so common anymore 😢

At least I started out my sentences with capital letters.

Sorry, but when critique other people's post like that, you set yourself up for people to critique your own posts. If you're going to be nitpicky, then start with your own writing.

Oh, and alot is spelled with two words.

A lot.

LOL

Spelling lessons are fun. I won the spelling bee 😛 buzzzz

Me too =P

I got my revenge after the 3rd grade! I'll never forget it. The word was "Flood" but I spelled it F-L-U-D & had the nerve to have some confidence when I spelled it wrong too lol

Establish boundaries with Aquas from the get go. Don't invest so much of yourself into a person whom can't even be bothered to call you back in a timely manner. Don't be afraid to call them out in a gentle manner. I call out Aquas all the time and they can't seem to stay away from me. I recently told my Aqua Ex that I was going to start wearing a foil hat whenever I talked to him so that he couldn't read my mind. LOL.

Yeah, I agree on calling them out in a nonconfrontational way. My guy doesn't even realize how things he does or doesn't do comes across to others. When I mention something I do like or don't like, I can tell he tries very hard to comply and tries to make me happy.

Many times when I point out (admiringly and smilingly) at something that my Aqua has or does, he humbly apologizes and says he wishes he could change it!

Then I have to reassure him that I actually find it funny, quirky, delightful, adorable and that my comment was not meant as a criticism in any way!

I don't know if such reactions are common to (more mature) Aquas, often misunderstood and criticized throughout their life. Or are they particular to my Aqua, who was previously married to a Cancer.

Of course we don't like to called out in a confrontational way. Who does? lol

We Aquas keep our cool so we expect others to be the same way. It's 1 thing if we do something truly deal breaking; we don't necessarily expect for you to approach us like Mother Theresa.

But if you're just in your "feelings" & upset about something petty (And yes 1 unreturned phone call is not enough to kill us over), yes we do expect for you to approach us in a mature, respectable manner.

I would hope that others wouldn't expect Aquarians to want anything other than calm & mature communication lol

Yes please. Confrontation to the max.

"Yo Adrian!"

@Krysrenee, I love being called out in a confrontational way. 😉 But, I have learned the hard way that not everyone appreciates a good dust up the way that I do.

Anyway, I think that people expect Aquas to solve all of their problems, cater to their every emotional whim etc. It's hard to watch some of my Aqua friends go through this kind of nonsense.

I dont have that problem in real life. I am guessing some astrologers are full of bull and haven't dug dig enough or realize that some aquas have alot of 7th house and or libra in their chart (which explains the back and forth and back and forth) same with any mutable to be honest, because mutables go different directions, but if it's not held down with some fixed houses/fixed signs i dont know then. Honestly, whatever issues there are, they should be RESOLVED in real life, with whoever you have issues with.

but i noticed in real life, in the past i wanted to confront issues and resolve them but have noticed some people running away. So i thought, well, whatever man, run away then. *shrug* Never saw them again.

although in retrospect (dammit, i'm seeing all sides again)

when you confront issues with someone in real life, dont be mean. Don't get in their face, even if you're angry. Be kind and respectful. Well, it has to depend on the situation.But there's no reason to get Mad Max on them if they made you angry for whatever reason they did. I mean what does yelling in someone's face resolve? That's just awful, and no wonder the person is running away. No one likes negativity and stuff like that. Be respectful and mindful and keep it away from the public. Like don't go yelling to people in front of others. Wow, it sounds like i'm gonna lecture my kid here. LOL
well you all get it. I hope.

My god....

Mad Max! Look at Mel Gibson back in the day!

DAMN RIGHT. AQUA RISING!
