So I??ve posted before on this Aries guy I??ve been seeing, but wow this guy is so weird. I am unable to read him and have no idea where I stand. Two weekends ago he is opening up to and telling me how he is very interested in me, he's just scared blah blah blah, then we move into the following week and nada absolutely nothing. I don't mind if people are busy, because I'm really busy as well and I am not the clingy type, but this guy makes absolutely no effort. The weekend he opened up he told me that he doesn't like to chase people and actually prefers to be chased (I thought Aries preferred the chase), I am not sure if this is because of his childhood so he desires the need of feeling wanted??_( I know he felt kinda rejected from his father etc.. ) but I just can't bring myself to chase him. I mean I??ll text him, just to see how he is etc??_ , but at some point I feel like the guy needs to make a little effort and initiate contact etc??_ we hung out for about 30 min Saturday, but that was because I text him said hey what are you up to and then eventually threw out an invite. While we were hanging out he said something to me about how much time did I think I would need with him a week, I said I don't know maybe see you 2-3 times a week, he did some calculations and said that means you wouldn't see me _____ hours , I was like ok that's cool I'm not very needy, but he looked appalled by my response, so I said why how much time do you need, he never responded. I also told him, that he makes me very confused because I have no idea where I stand with him and he is just so inconsistent, he looked appalled again and said something along the line like he doesn't put himself out there and date and how could I not tell. I looked at him dumbfounded and said really?! During that time I was thinking: well you make no effort, you never ask me out, you never call me, you never initiate anything, I feel like I am doing all the work and I'm a woman and feel like he should be doing the as much if not equal to all the work I am doing. I don't know if the guy is really that shy, insecure, scared or what, but it's pushing me away because I feel like this is all some game. I feel like if the guy wanted to see me he??d ask. I get that people are scared of rejection, but I think this is a bit extreme. Is this typical with Aries? I have met a few Aries recently that have said they are timid until they feel comfortable, but I think this guy knows I?
Aries Male Inconsistent?
I'm interested as well so don't get him at all. I??ve decided to pull way back and if the guy likes me, he??ll step up. Could this just be an ego thing/ game, any idea on how I can tell whether he is genuine or just a douche?

Hm probably married or some shit like that.. when the flags pop and they will. Think about it if you want this in your life inconsistent and unreliable..
I'm pretty sure the guy isn't married, we're friends on FB and other things and he is pretty single, his family including him mom have made comments about him being single

Great to know. Just keep distance do you and if it's meant to be. Go for it.
He may not be very interested, I have no idea but can usually tell. He has Mercury in Pisces and Venus in Aquarius.... I have no idea what means, but both my Venus and mercury are in Sagittarius

I have quite abit of experience with an Aries. At the beginning he was a nightmare and it did seem like I was just a part in stoking his ego... one minute he would be telling me i was amazing and the next I see him blatantly telling another woman the same. He loved being surrounded by woman and very flirtatious. (met him on a forum) Very quickly he protested his undying love for me then I wouldn't hear from him for a week or even 2. Then he would call me telling me how much he missed me almost crying down the phone. Very bizarre behaviour. Once we got abit more serious he was pretty intense and abit overbearing.. but then also quite selfish in alot of ways, self absorbed. I stuck it out to see if i would see a better side to him and I did.. after a year and half he moved in with me. Aries is a loving man and dotes on his love (I have had a relationship with 2)Both have been like my best friends.. very funny and abit bonkers, will do anything for you! They have the bad side as well as the good as we all do. I would say if you can stick out this 'beginning' side to this Aries you will find someone quite different behind it. I would say dont chase him because he will come running to you when he realizes you havent been in touch.. Though I didnt just 'Take it' I did make him aware I wasnt pleased which would make him worry that he may lose something good. I find the Aries guy needs to be told because if you dont, they dont actually realize they are doing wrong. Even though he might not be in touch he will be thinking of you!! Aries are great partners but can be frustrating at times lol

This is hilarious!

I know when I first got in to my first (and only) long term relationship, I broke it off quite a lot at the beginning of the relationship, not because I didn't want to be in a relationship but I felt too vulnerable, so I would break it off before I got hurt. He would then compliment me, and express his admiration and I'd feel better again... Don't look at it as ego stroking, more reassurance.
This didn't last for long though, once I was comfortable my behavior completely changed.

yeah we tend to be sketchy when we don't feel comfortable with someone and also it could be that he is way more interested in someone else and you may just be a runner up connection. If he really wants you he will change over time but it's up to you to create those boundaries
