Aquarius woman here...I've known him for 10+ years and we weren't that close up until a few years ago. We re-connected through social media (he contacted me first) and hit it off. We talked non-stop and met up a few times. Never had sex.... but one night I told him to stop texting me (so I wouldn't get so attached I guess). He said FINE. He angrily and stormed off.

The next day I tried contacting him and he ignored me and blocked me.

So, about a year went by and I reached out to him once again. He reciprocated and again we would talk for a few weeks. But this time was different... I would initiate most conversations and he was kind of off and on with me. Not like before. Before he would always text back and ask how my day was going. Anyway, we ended up having sex a few times and he stopped responding to me. So, I stopped reaching out to him too. I just want to be his friend again... any advice?

Why do you want to be his friend exactly? There are much better people to be friends with, especially ones who aren't carrying "already-tried-a-relationship-but-it-didn't-work" baggage. The past relationship means that any friendship with him could be quite rocky. ESPECIALLY since he decided to simply stop responding to you the first time..
I guess I still care about him in some weird way.

You don't want to get too attached, so you just cut him off over text. (smooth)

He's hot and cold with you.

You don't know how to behave and he doesn't care to get serious.

You earned your result (maybe he did as well.) Bravo.

Tell him you value his friendship. Call and leave a message explaining it and be honest about it. Then leave the rest up to him. Don't push. What must be will be.

Well, I was with him the night I told him to stop texting me. It's been 5 months since the last time I've seen him and I guess I just need more time to let it go.

When you were talking after you were intimate the last time, did he cut you off gradually or just not respond at all, ever? Did you ever have a discussion or feel like things weren't working out in the relationship?

Curious to know from what direction your desire to be friends is coming from. Maybe the relationship just ended on ambiguous terms and you just want some closure...

CLOSURE! That's what it is.... he gradually got more and more silent. We never "ended" anything

Well if he's set on not messaging you after you were intimate like that, I'd definitely be set on not messaging him because 1.) he deserves it 2.) if you aren't available he might reach out one day (not saying that this will happen quickly but who knows).

To be clear, I don't think he was able to summon up enough deep emotion for you. Maybe the initial damage caused this (the first time you pulled away) but the damage had obviously been done by the second time you reconnected. That explains why he was cooler with you and why it was mostly you reaching out. But there was nothing you could have done differently at that point except realizing that he was lukewarm before you decided to sleep with him--- whatever, girl, it was just a gamble! Could have gone either way but it looks like he just didn't think you were right for each other.

By the way... the way he handled this makes him seem very immature. Unless you had seriously done something to offend him, I can't imagine why a grown man would do that to a woman he had a decently long history with. But either way, you can't force him to contact you.

So the best way to deal with this is by reminding yourself, "Okay, I messed it up the first time when I pulled away so he wasn't able to get close to me." That is your closure. No need to contact a man who won't contact you, he probably will on his own one day..

This is bittersweet to hear... and I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I did pull away and that wasn't the way to go about it, but he also didn't try either. And yes, he is immature being that he's only 26. You've taken a lot off my chest! Thank you for listening to me and my drama ?

I'd stay away from him. Aries and Aquarius just know how to bring in each other the worst. 😢 ends up being a vary turbulent and violent relationship.
Yeah it just sucks because I hate ending it like that.... can't we just be adults and put it behind us and move on without any animosity towards one another?
Nope! Aries are the children of the zodiac. they're big babies.
