Posted by AerialViewI must be in no luck then, if only NYAA and Snozzy were still around.

Care to elaborate in the future, in your own time ?
Give us other signs a break, I am asking rather nicely. 😆
Posted by AerialViewWhy would you expect a respond to such out of the blue questions on completely random subject matters ?
I can only answer to your last question.
Yes.
Why would you even ask them ?
If you lot demand responses, after responses, at least have the courtesy to tell the one who you demand an answer from, the reason as to why you ask it. Otherwise, I find it increasingly difficult to indulge in the strange one way questions.

I am trying to build a healthy professional working relationship with him but his quirks are confusing to work around.
For one, the random onslaught of strange questions or conversation starters.
The constant need to make me or a fellow Stinger laugh, or when it is merely the two of us, me laugh. I find it difficult to keep up having to entertain his eccentricities, without an explanation. Sometimes he is funny, other times I am out right confused and lost. His attempts at getting my attention is alright and all, but sometimes I am extremely focused in my work which apparently I assume makes him feel despised.
He is a gentlemen, however he takes it to an extreme. It leaves me feeling awkward, because for example when I make a coffee or tea etc. for myself I would always offer the same to others. However, he always makes it a huge deal and thanks me, or tells me to make whatever is most convenient for me, at times even comes by in attempts to make it with me.
This is common niceties, I would offer it to him as to others. Then he would give me this bright smile, and frankly I am often still preoccupied with thoughts of work in my head when making drinks. To expect me to respond with a huge smile and laughter each time he smiles at me, my face would begin to twitch. My neutral expression does not translate to anything more than the fact that well, that it is neutral.
So tell me this - How should I smooth this over ?

Maybe he likes you? ?
An example of a strange question :
He would begin by prefacing that he had a question to ask, and I would say, "Go Ahead." Then he would tell me it is personal, in which case I already have a puzzled expression on my face but I still entertain it.
The Question - If you were to host an dinner / cocktail / evening, and then someone you utterly despised showed up unannounced, because they somehow figured out about this event through a friend of yours. How would you respond, what would you do for the rest of the evening once you realise this individual is there ?
Such out of the blue hypothetical questions about hypothetical situations that do not relate to me or him or work or anything at all, yet he wants a response.

I'm very happy go lucky guy at work, I like to make people laugh with my one liners in passing, I never stand in one spot longer than a Minuite because I'm paranoid I'm being watched by cameras to the point that I lose my self awareness if that makes any sense....
I have a fear of cash registers and touch screens even though I use them everyday I second guess myself even when I don't need to, it stems from abuse I received as a child from teachers and my mother who used to beat me whenever she would help me do my homework.
My first job when I left school was Burger King and I was 15, I worked in the kitchen and then one day out of the blue my manager told me I would be on the front cash register and she brought me a till and told me to count the money in the till. My shift had just started and was in the middle of rush and I just froze staring dumbfounded at the till with my manager telling me to hurry up and count the money and it felt like everyone was watching me (I've been humiliated lots of times in maths class at school and this was at work so it was different ) I started sweating and freaking out because I didn't know how to count that much money which was only 200 at the time, my manager never explained me how to do it and she kept running past and looking over my shoulder till eventually she put me back on burgers. I eventually left that job because the manager was a Christian and so was another guy there and he would tell me shit she would say behind my back that I was gay and stuff and I got depressed and I left without saying anything and I had to see a therapist.
Anyways I carried that anxiety with me into today where I hold my breath whenever I'm at a till even though I count thousands of dollars when I balance after work but I had a chat with my boss yesterday in fact because he pulled me aside and asked why do I look so serious whenever I get on a till because I'm happy and smile all the time but the second I get on a till my face drops and I look serious like a criminal, I had no idea I actually did it till he brought me up and he gave me specific one on one training so I'm more relaxed and told me to take as much time as I need and not to second guess myself because it's just a habit I've done all of my working career but now I'm aware of it and like an Aquarian I know how to unlearn and learn new things from a new perspective.
I had a fight with a fellow coworker the day before because she humiliated me infront of a customer that I was serving (I won't get into details) but it happens at my work all the time by a manager and when My co worker thought she would give it a go at my expense she saw a sliver of my Scorpio moon shine through, she could see how much I was trying to keep in because my teeth were chattering when I was trying to explain calmly to her that she shouldn't talk to me infront of customers like that, anyways that night I went home and wrote my manager an essay explaining that I've been treated that way by managers and now this co worker and she immeadiately came to me and apologised today at work because my boss tore her a new hole and he apologised to me on behalf of the other managers (which I thought was weak) but i accepted it and was prepared to move on.....the lady who apologised is a piece of shit and everyone hates her there, she takes lots of pretrainer before work and is high as a kite so she always gets into trouble because she is absent minded most of the time especically in our argument, she retreated with her tail between her legs.
I am not forgetful per se but I go into auto pilot a lot and can become a bit of a robot, I never chat when I'm at work and I never stay in one spot longer for a minuite, I excel when things are at their most chaotic because I love micromanaging and that's when everything makes sense to me....all my workmates fight over smoke breaks constantly and I've never had one when I'm there and I'm a smoker, Even though I'm a rebel aquarian I'm very strict with protocol and I'm not afraid to tell people to get to work because I find it VERY offensive when people stand around doing nothing when there's heaps to be done and there's other people working. People say I'm sassy for that and give me cat calls but I'll be brutally honest with them that catches them off guard.
I have a manager there that is a homophobic piece of work that I despise (for some reason it's always cancerian managers that I hate to work with) he treats me like shit but sees himself as a lion and all the girls there his lionesses, he says disgusting innapropiate things to them and they flirt with him and he gives them hours and makes their lives easier and then when it comes to me he makes me do hard labour at times.
Anyways when I lodged the complaint he got a talking To by the manager and he's never allowed to joke with me behind the bar.
I don't really talk when I'm on the job, not enough to have a conversation or ask a question that isn't related to work, mainly I'll ask in passing if anyone is going out after I'm a floor supervisor at a hotel so I'm always on the go between the bar and the kitchen .......one time I was in the kitchen and one of the kitchen staff asked me in front of the other guys if I like rim jobs and I replied "sure but you can't kiss me after" and everyone lost their shit and that was when I gained everyone's respect, since then we always hang out after work getting drunk and stoned and they're the dirtiest fuckers ever which is why we get along.....the bar staff on the other hand are lovely but there are a few bad eggs that I'm weeding out one by one starting with that bitch, next is the manager.

Hah, had my taste of you Water Bearers in the past (now happily taken by a Virgent). However, this one seems off, from the patterns that I had learned about your kind which is why I had to ask (particularly, if you lot might act differently in a professional environment as versus otherwise)
I am confused as to how I should deal with it, besides blocking off even more so.
Advice, perhaps ?

Act cold towards him?
Tbh i'm not well get along and can't read my fellow aqua men. They all seems different and has their own individuality.
- What is your behaviour like at work ? Quiet and chill
- What would tick you off within the work environment ? Doing someone else's work.
- What do you expect or want of the people whom you have to work alongside ? Get their work done.
- Is constant forgetfulness, distractions, and tardiness a Waterbearer trait, or merely an individual trait ? Not my trait. Im a cap dominant Aqua. So this isn't a problem with me.
- If you always create conversations during the breaks, in between work, do you expect others to respond to your curious small talk and strange questions ?
Im generally ether quiet during lunch breaks and sit back while everyone else does their things.

At the same time, I do not want to make an enemy out of him where he wont be a good partner at work. I need his work, to facilitate my own. He already feels as if I despise him because of my tunnel focus at work and neutral face.

He is as you described yourself, approximately 70% of the time. The rest of the time, he is as I described in the rest of my posts.
How do you let your kind know, that no, you do not despise them and that their strange out of the blue small talk leaves you confused and lost, whilst their over politeness make you feel awkward and uncomfortable ?
Do you lot fare well with bluntness, because I would hate to cause this working relationship to sour. I need it to function at an optimal level.

Posted by TheLadyScorpioI don't have issues with bluntness or talking to people at work. Though I see them as coworkers and not as family or friends at work. If I see my coworkers outside of work say like a convenient store. I would say hey what's up and I wouldn't mind talking to you there about random things. Im not a big chatterbox when I am at work. Im just in work mode to try and get work done.Posted by AquistormThank you for responding Aquistorm.

I think you are overwhelmed with the knowledge and charm that he is an Aqua.
why do I say that? because I ask such questions and even more generalized ones five times a day in the office. they laugh and everybody gives his word to it if he wants. either a practical answer or a joke or what they read in the news lately. and I bet there are ones who'd say this is stupid.
your reaction is like to see a challenge or a complex in it cause you as a fixed sign evaluates the situation with another fixed sign as a complex matter.and I bet he gets your fixed sign vibes too.
in reality you just could do nothing but what you could afford at that moment. if headache, then saying sorry or shutup. if aha-effect, then think and give an answer or ask for time to sleep on it,
im like a robot at work i just do what im told lol never late never complain. but i am pretty lazy at times when i get comfortable at a job and aloof/forgetful...but i will work hard when its necessary and i dont have a problem doing extra work or the "dirty" work.
also very keen on work relationships im always friendly w my coworkers and supportive even if they are messing up or not good lol.
also very open to having a work wife even if its only platonic its amazing! i would rather work with women than men they are easier to get along with and i would definitely rather have a female boss from my experience

we had a young Aqua engineer at my workplace who always asked me to smoke with him when he took a break. And we talked about all the things of world. he was-is married to a Scorpgirl. since they were 16-17-18 I recall. I know her. beautiful and lovely. he still sends me congratulations on women's day.
And sometimes Friday nights when he wanted to go to play billiard with his Taurus friend, they asked me to go with them. funny days. how life is abundant actually.
Posted by AquistormI see.Posted by TheLadyScorpioI don't have issues with bluntness or talking to people at work. Though I see them as coworkers and not as family or friends at work. If I see my coworkers outside of work say like a convenient store. I would say hey what's up and I wouldn't mind talking to you there about random things. Im not a big chatterbox when I am at work. Im just in work mode to try and get work done.Posted by AquistormThank you for responding Aquistorm.
- What is your behaviour like at work ? Quiet and chill
- What would tick you off within the work environment ? Doing someone else's work.
- What do you expect or want of the people whom you have to work alongside ? Get their work done.
- Is constant forgetfulness, distractions, and tardiness a Waterbearer trait, or merely an individual trait ? Not my trait. Im a cap dominant Aqua. So this isn't a problem with me.
- If you always create conversations during the breaks, in between work, do you expect others to respond to your curious small talk and strange questions ?
Im generally ether quiet during lunch breaks and sit back while everyone else does their things.
He is as you described yourself, approximately 70% of the time. The rest of the time, he is as I described in the rest of my posts.
How do you let your kind know, that no, you do not despise them and that their strange out of the blue small talk leaves you confused and lost, whilst their over politeness make you feel awkward and uncomfortable ?
Do you lot fare well with bluntness, because I would hate to cause this working relationship to sour. I need it to function at an optimal level.

Well, that coincides with my beliefs as well. My professional and personal life are kept apart, always has been.
Hmm @DwellingOnMove, overwhelmed by their knowledge and charm ?
I would actually say underwhelmed, in fact I have never found Water Bearer men charming. They are eccentric, quirky, and categorised as individuals I will never understand nor entirely trust. In fact, I would find Librans, Mermen, Stingers, and Virgents far more charming, at least the ones that I have met. They have the skills to cause a woman to blush a little.
Why ask such questions ?
A sense of curiousity, a need to socialise, or a desire to observe / dissect others under a microscope because you could ?
Believe me, I socialise, as do the fellow Stinger that we work with. We may carry conversations from time to time but never on such strange or odd subject matters. However, his slightly personal and invasive questions are never just one, they come in a row, until he finds the answer that he wants.
I see it less so of a challenge but a complex perhaps, because if you demand something from me, I expect fare exchange. Do not ask, ask, and ask to sate some sick need to observe and dissect others without reciprocation. That is common courtesy and to not follow such rules (even though I know Water Bearers only have their own rules), is the quickest way to irritate a Stinger. If you want a chess piece to play mental games with to fill an itch to see how someone reacts, that would set off my anger.
On the other hand, what sign may you be ?

Posted by WaterBearererThank you for writing, WaterBearer - Why would you want a work wife and what is it about work relationships that satisfies you so, what do you get out it and what do you seek ?

Posted by DwellingOnMoveDwelling, what is your sun sign and what is your native language ? 🙂Posted by TheLadyScorpio
Hmm @DwellingOnMove, overwhelmed by their knowledge and charm ?
I think there's a misunderstanding here. maybe again because my English is not native.Posted by DwellingOnMove
...I think you are overwhelmed with the knowledge and charm that he is an Aqua.
....
fixed sign evaluates the situation with another fixed sign as a complex matter....
I meant "knowing his Sun sign" make that you evaluate the thing in another way. Compare if it was me or a Gemini, you should weight it as a lighter thing.Posted by TheLadyScorpio
...
Why ask such questions ?...
maybe to get use by the collective consciousness? (hopefully I'm using the concept at the right place)
I had another Aqua male friend who also asked things, Depending on the situation, the question or his reaction to my answer I told myself different things. like: "it is something I don't understand cause I am not in his world". but also "he is just showing off to claim he has surprising ideas."
my Pisces brother has also Aqua Mercury and Mars. When he asks strange things, it will be a matter of luck if he shows that he is lucky with my opinion|explanation|answer|comment. Sometimes I get a praise. Other times he repeats his question and say you didn't get it. well, if he's a genius, it is very likely that I didn't get it. cause I'm of average IQ. But they can tell me stories. you know what I mean?click to expand

Hello
So here's the deal - I made it pretty clear to my Aqua ex that I have moved on and I am now seeing someone. We work together so I told her out of respect as I know who crushing it can be to find out your ex is seeing someone from a third person.
Yes or no? Are you more protective and more stubborn n bossy when you r more closer to someone?
I did it. I asked if it were possible he'd ever give me a second chance. ??♀️
I've left myself open and vulnerable. I've taken a huge risk and I am freaking out a bit now!
I mean I meant every word but he might feel pressured now.... and it could bac
All the women I seem to go for and all the women I seem to attract are aquarius why?
Aquas, have you ever met or been with somebody who's trying to control you or change you the way he/she wants you to?
If so, how did you deal with that?
My aqua man and I have been together for a year and a half which is the longest relationship that either of us have had. I am a Sagittarius woman...me and this man have been friends for 3 years. At the beginning of 2016, he really started to pursue a rela
Do you constantly test your partners, lover, friends, interests or whatever have you— You guys are such logical creatures that you can't help your self can you? tell me, what have you done or said in the past that were you testing them. Conciously or no
If you found out your crush was moving but they said they'd be back for you, would you wait?
So. I'm just wondering, is the key to attracting an Aquarius man really through his mind? As in, he likes intelligent women? I never knew that and it baffles me that some men find intelligence sexy when 80+% of men just go off of looks and that's really a
I really like Aquas and would like to know more about them anything and everything! Can y'all just post stuff about Aquas on here thanks!
From A Friendly Cancer❤️
I heard before that to know how Aqua feels about you, you need to watch their eyes and the way they look at you. I'm really curious about this.. please do share.. also this ariticle is interesting http://www.stellarmusings.com/single-post/2016/08/27/Eyes
Between cancer, aries or leo for romantic relationship?
And yes it's only based on just sun sign for now.
*especially for aqua ladies
Hi all,
I recently met the most wonderful Aquarius woman and we hit off instantly and clicked on so many different things. During first date she suggested we start working on our relationship. Things were going well for 3 weeks and last week she broke
When would be safest to tell an Aquarius you love them? I'm not giving details because some of y'all are judgmental,close minded assholes! So it's an open assumption of time and whatever else you want to use to determine.
i have a relationship with an aquarius for 14 months. he met my kids twice and i never met his as he told me what happen before. he didnt have contact with his first son since he was 7 years as his son said to him he didnt want to come to his place anymor
Does it take you days to get over?
Always been highly attracted to them. Haven't been in a relationship with one yet, although right now I have one as a close internet friend who's almost like my own brother. He's good friends with two other 2nd decan Aquas.
However, it seems like a pre
Do other Aquas feel like our beliefs and ideologies are so different from others that they won't understand, so you don't even share and bother explaining?
My beliefs are so different from most people's that I don't even bother sharing them, not in fea
I feel like I'm not particularly sensual or sexy in the most conventional sense. I'm pretty awkward when it comes to flirting and I have other aqua friends who feel the same. Is it just us?
I started spending time with an Aquarius man about 3-4 months ago. I am moving abroad to Europe soon and he has known this the whole time. At first I couldn't tell if he even liked me, then one day he started to express what strong feelings he has for me.
Please kindly indulge me about your kind. I would greatly appreciate it. 🙂
