I'm a Gemini female and he is an Aries (March). When we first started talking it was crazy sparks and a real rollercoaster of excitement. We met online and I told him I wouldn't meet him till I was ready which he was fine with and said he would wait till the end of time for me because he knew I was the one for him. Which I found totally cheesy but didn't let it put me off.

He would call me everyday and text non stop. Always singing songs to me and telling me about his past and he would give me a play by play of everything he was doing even if it was just going to the shop. So fast forward a month later we met up and ended up having sex on the first night. Then he started getting distant, less calls, fewer texts and I didn't mind I felt like he was seeing if I'd text him or moan about it but I never did I just waited for him to contact me and carried on with my life.

He went and had a biopsy the other day (still waiting on the results) so I thought maybe this is why he is acting distant becaus he is worried about the results. I tried to be there for him but he ignored all questions to do with his health. The days he was horny I would get very sexual texts all day (this is after days of him not texting me) and he would come over late a night do the deed and leave. Illness or not I'm not willing to be someone's bootycall especially because it's not what I signed up for. He made it seem like he was in this for a serious long term relationship. He asked me to be his girlfriend but then treated me like his whore.

Few days ago I told him I wanted out and I didn't feel he had any respect for me and basically I wasn't willing to be his bootycall. Now this is where I'm at a cross roads with does he mean what he is saying or is he manipulating me so I stay??

He first sent me texts telling me about the chances he could die. That didn't get the reaction he thought it would get so then he got nasty saying I'm heartless leaving him at a time when he needs me most. Followed by loads of texts saying he loves me and didn't want to get too close to me because he didn't want to hurt me if he died. Next came all these long messages about how scared he is and he isn't able to cope with this alone. My walls by now was already back up and I felt like I didn't even know if I could believe what he was saying. Then he started sending me voicemails of him expressing how much he loves me and how scared he is. Then came videos of him crying and telling me how worried he is and he is scared to get close to me and losing me. Followed by more crying voicemails. I'm not cruel but all the crying just seemed so dramatic and like he was going for an oscar.

Finally he texted me begging me and pleading with me not to leave him and it melted me and I agreed to be there for him. Since then he texts a lot more often now! He is being sentimental about stuff we talked about in the past.



I liked that he was aloof I get bored easily and I couldn't work him out and he couldn't work me out it was like a game of cat and mouse.

I don't know if he was manipulating me to stay with him or he really means everything he said about loving me? Do Aries cry to manipulate people? Do they throw the "LOVE" word around to everyone? He has said I'm the only woman he has loved and the only woman that he has ever said I love you to. He was in a relationship for almost 10yrs and said he never told her that he loved her. I find even that hard to believe because in the 3 months he has said it to me so often and effortlessly.

I cannot workout if he is being genuine or playing mind games with me! Part of me almost hopes he is playing me so the game of cat and mouse can continue. I did want a serious relationship with him but I didn't think the game playing would end so soon. Him crying made me feel awkward because I've only seen him as this big tough guy.

March (Aries men) are different from April (Aries men). My uncle is Aries (March). He told me when I dated an Aries (April man), "He's not going to leave you alone". Well, he has (NO sex BTW, only dated him once, kissed once, etc). Your Aries man (March) is the same as what my uncle said about the Aries man (but MARCH). Tough and easy one as I've learned about "Aries" men. They are not the ones to have theirs hearts on their sleeves like Pisceans do. He's not going to be the one that tells you how he feels until he's cornered. You cornered him by telling him your good-byes and he's afraid of losing you. He's definitely NOT your booty call as he knows he can get that from another woman he will meet on line. Aries men know what they want and will RAM them! Just imagine the ram using his horns to RAM another ram if he is fighting for the affection of a female (ram). Remember also, that Aries men are also "stubborn" (he wants you and will take NO for an answer). He's only ramming you because he knows what he wants. You're lucky in that sense that he wants to win you over. Communicate with him. Your Aries was/is like the one I dated; talk, talk, talk, talk (I told him we were like two talking parrots). Talk to him about HOW he makes you feel as if you're just a "booty call", etc. Communicate! Get your priorities straight now. BTW he sounds as if he's made his mind about "who" he wants. Good luck. Keep us posted. 🤗 cyber hugs!

Love,

Eva

PS: I told the April Aries I was dated (last year 30 Dec 16), "Whenever you want to go out, call/text me". I initiated the call (13 Jan 17) as I was tired (again of the give Aries space) and he returned my call 😄 Being intuitive (Piscean) I have deleted his # from my cell after we hung on that Friday. My phone gives a "beeping sound" when a #/text I blocked comes thru. I can "unblock" anytime I want to do that. In my mind, he's outta site, outta mind. I don't and cannot wait for this Aries man, as I am not at a man's beck and call. Next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🍹

Thank you Eva that really helped a lot, so fair to say he is being truthful and not manipulating me. I guess now I have to learn to trust him and fight everything in my body that's telling me to run. Obviously I wanted him to want me and me exclusively but now it seems that I have him I want to run as far and fast as possible.

I always have one foot out of every relationship waiting for something more shiny to come along. After reading what you said I'm really going to try and give it ago. I do really like him but I'm not that invested because I haven't fully opened my heart to him. When he sends me messages he does all the "xxxxxx" and heart emojis at the end of messages, I never do. I really want him to go back to being a little aloof and being tougher!! I don't do well with mushy men. From the little I've read about Aries men on here I think I've ended up with a broken one lol

I see what you mean about the booty call situation, I didn't think of it like that. He calls it making love I call it sex. He is very attentive to all my needs in the bedroom and stops a few times to tell me he loves me. I just thought it was total BS and he was only saying it because he was caught up in the moment. I'm definitely going to put more into this relationship and start believing what he is saying.

Good luck op, cause if it's like this so early on what happened when you have a real problem and doesn't communicate well. As an air moon and cardinal energy type I need constant communication and for it to be sincere.

You can give it ago. You have to talk when issues hit always. Like right now keep the communication and honesty alive.

Good morning Baby,

YW. I understand about wanting to run. You want a man that is a man and not all mushy as you indicated. What you HAVE found is a man that when he has sex w/you he doesn't tell you while diddling (I am treetrunking you!). My ex bf (Saggy) would tell me this. I didn't like that! I wanted a man to tell me he was making love to me. There is a difference and again, you should thank your lucky stars! Allot of men are losing self respect for women and themselves because they don't make love; they f*u*k like animals. Is this what you want? Do you want a "wham, bam, thank you Ma'am?" Do you want him to not even take off his socks when he's in bed w/you? Notice how a man undresses when he's in bed w/you. And how long he takes. Does he cum fast? Does he please his woman first and then himself? Welcome to the wonderful world of meeting a GENTLEMAN and NOT a "broken one" as you called him. Girl, we keep telling you that you are lucky! The majority of the rest of us have kissed allot of FROGS! You kissed one that turned into a prince! If you want to move on to the next one, then just ride this bus, and wait for another one to come thru (wait 5 minutes is the saying). BUT, I will bet you the next man you meet will treat you badly!! How? He will cheat on you, he will be the wham, bam, thank you Ma'am, he will NOT take off his socks when in bed w/you, he will tell you he's treetrunking you while having sex with him, he will break your heart, he will lie to you, he will NOT use XXXXs (kisses) OOOOs (hugs). Hell girl the other guy will just ignore you altogether because he already got his itch scratched! What you have found is the brass ring at the first try! The rest of us women keep riding around, and around, and around the same carousel (my horse is white) 😏 and we keep "missing" said brass ring! 😭 I'm happy for you! Be happy and content, too.

🤗 cyber hugs!

Love,

Eva

Being the mushy type of Aries myself if I am backed into a corner like this aries. That is my reaction also. I will ball my eyes out. It is not fake. I can understand though why it may seem that way to some people. It can seem cheesy to refer to sex as love in 2017, but that is the way a real Aries in love is, just wait for the shoulder massages and feet rubs without asking for anything in return. Then you can be heaven. 🙂 Just don't take it for granted. 😛

I know I sound like I'm complaining and it's my fault because I did say he was being distant but there is no balance. It seems it's either he is distant or wants to take up my whole day talking to me it's exhausting.

The first 7 hours of conversation today was normal. He told me I'm the best thing to come into his life and he loves me blah blah blah (Still seems so over the top and dramatic when he says these things)! He asked to come and see me this weekend I said that's fine but made it clear "we are NOT HAVING SEX"

Big mistake!! He has now turned it into this big game of who will break first and give into temptation. Apparently he is going to win and I will instigate sex first. If I lose he has a number of different sexual things he'd like to happen. If I win I get to pick where I'd like to be taken on a date oh and sexual acts I want performed.

Now he only has one thing on his mind. I'm determined to not let him win but his Aries charm and the back rubs are hard to resist. Im just going to go with the flow of this relationship and hope for the best. If he is manipulating me then guess I'll see it as a lesson learned but if he is true to his word he could be the one... that lasted longer than my other relationships.

Thanks for the advice, info and especially the cyber hugs.

I think you really need to listen to your heart on this one, and never be afraid to put yourself first, never feel guilty for that, or leaving him. Even if he is dying, do not be afraid to leave him, because being with someone for that reason is not good enough, you have one life. And think of it this way, relationships are like when an airplane is crashing, you are told to put the air mask on yourself first, before helping children. It does not mean you do not love your own children, it just means that you have to be able to look after yourself first before you can think about helping others. And I think his behaviour would damage you, it sounds like this is who he is, and it won’t change that quickly and right now you are having these thoughts about whether he is right for you, but the longer you leave it, the harder it gets. I do not think you will like this advice, but the best thing is to leave him, and if he really is upset, then tell him that the situation right now is that he needs to be stronger for himself before he can think about a relationship with anyone. Because that really is true, if he cannot handle himself right now, then he will become dependent on you, he will be with you because he thinks he will die without you, and this I think is an abusive relationship, and for this reason, he is manipulating you. I do not think he’s aware of it, but you can manipulate people unintentionally, and I think this is what he’s doing. It’s nothing to do with him being an Aries, yes Aries are over the top, in a particular way, but above everything else you must put yourself first always.

Update:-

Well Friday didn't happen, he cancelled pretty much last minute and re arranged for Sunday and once again something came up and he cancelled that also. He has now rearranged it for this coming weekend. No doubt something will come up then also. He has kids and both times he cancelled was because of his children needing him.

Luckily for me I wasn't invested in this relationship. He did me a favour to be fair because after the advice on here this weekend if he came I probably would have opened up to him, really fallen for his smooth words and been really invested.
