Hello all!

Seeking guidance on guy friend’s actions toward me. I’m feeling like we are compatible based on our personalities and friendship. We have been through a lot in our friendship and it means a lot to me when I have a man in my life who can take care of me and who I can trust.

My sun sign: Leo

His sun sign: Aries

We both have somewhat recently gotten out of very serious relationships. Mine was ended officially about 6 months ago and he had the Rachel/Ross drama going on for a little over a year and he finally cut it off within the past month or so.

To be clear: I am not expecting a relationship to come of this...at least not as of yet...however, I am trying to decipher his feelings and determine if he is interested at all as being good friends, he’s just being nice, or he is using me to some regard (intentionally or not). I need to watch out for myself and I know the timing is not right for anything right now.

A few facts or behaviors:

1. He has always been there for me in a very selfless way and “defended my honor” so to speak- even in difficult times.

2. His most recent ex (of 4 years) despised me. I never even had feelings for him or crossed the line during our friendship, but one of her last phrases to him was to have fun being with me.

3. Whenever I call him, we generally talk for hours about nothing. We will Skype each other often now and video chat (nothing inappropriate) and hang out more

4. He finds ways to make physical contact.

5. He has (especially recently) made comments when we talk about dating about how I should date a guy like him. He then would get defensive and justify himself when I would explain what problems I have with that.

There are other examples, but I am curious to see what people think- is this just someone wanting attention? Is he interested, but slowly trying to show me? I have had a history of being too loyal to the wrong guys and wanting to rescue or help the guy in a bad spot and usually end up hurt or as a rebound.

Help!

so, you wanted him all along? or just recently started to think about him as a romantic interest?

I think there is a reason, why the girlfriend didnt like you, meaning, she maybe felt you would be interested in him.... what was your position (as a friend) towards them as a couple? have you hung out together all of you?

Aries defending someone´s honor is a general thing, they do it all the time and they feel like heroes, ego thing (and genuine care as well, but not a romantic care imho)

one month after finally cutting off a Rachel/Ross situation in their relationship is nothing... its just like one second

do they hang out? do they speak? what is their relationship now?

be very careful, I dont think its the right time.... dont get romantic with him

you may get together, very easy in your positions, but you will have to question all the time his feelings, especially, if he starts to talk to his rachel again

what are your other planets? moon, venus...?

just be very careful

it can pan out (depending on your other planets), I can see the attraction between leo and aries, but... Aries often (only in my observation) use their female friends for comfort and ego-boost

Edit: its something else to be a good friend, have a crush or attraction, but then reality kicks in.... how is his behaviour to other female friends?

Let me try to answer these in order to the best of my ability:

1. I actually was not interested in him at all in the beginning. We worked together, but I had a serious boyfriend and went through a lot in that relationship and the Aries that I am referring to was very helpful and supportive throughout the whole thing. We would hang out together in groups and occasionally 1:1 but most of it was work related and it was nothing too crazy. Neither one of us flirted or did anything inappropriate and the very few 1:1 hangouts began as a venting session for him when they were broken up/on a break. I could see where there would be an issue otherwise, but she was actually cheating on him and he would take her back- which was confusing with the whole her being jealous thing (she is a Taurus)

2. They are no longer on speaking terms. They lived together and no longer do so. He threw away and deleted all photos, threw out bed sheets, blocked her on everything, etc. He also told his family about everything which is a big deal.

3. My breakdown:

Sun-Leo

Moon-Libra

Venus- Cancer

His:

Sun-Aries

Moon-Taurus

Venus- Aquarius

4. He treats me differently than his other female friends. I recently went out in a group of people and he interacted with different females and he gave me the most attention.

I KNEW IT!!! He's a Venus Aquarius. I was gonna ask.

You're going to have to be very patient with no promise for tomorrow. Just let it grow naturally. He definitely likes you as a person... which is THE begining for us.

He’s very touch and go.

Sometimes he doesn’t even respond to me, but I don’t think that it’s a game so much.

I feel pretty “needy” in relationships and I am really trying to change that. Based on the talks that we have had, we seem to be on the same page for just about everything and we work together well (professionally and as friends) and understand each other for the most part.

What are the chances of success for this pairing?

If you're traditionally romantically inclined... "needy," you're probably not going to get your "needs" met with a Venus Aquarius. Our love language is typically service... not touch, quality time, etc.

I definitely see the service side, but he also seems like the type of person who likes to be the hero and the rescuer for a lot of people and he spends time with those he really cares about. He is selective of those he spends the most time with, but he is usually friendly and nice to everybody.

My attraction seems to come from the idea that he seems to understand me and knows how to talk to me and approach me as a person without me feeling bad. With the recent actions and changes in status, it seems a little odd, but before I legitimately had feelings I definitely felt secure and cared for by him.

Also, he seems touch and go with contact and communication. He rarely initiates. Is this common?

You may have to step up and show that you're interested and not going to hurt him also. Aries have an issue with coming across to keen and may back and forth to test you're coming to him. Mines did at least. At some point I just said F*** IT! Enough of this dancing around the bush. Invited him to Scotland for Christmas when I was home visiting parents and the rest was history.

He was also a few months out a 3 yr "not great" relationship and I was worried that A. It wasnt really over or B. I was a rebound.

Have no fear 🙂 Go for it. What will be will be.

Sorry just read this. The not initiating thing imo isnt right. Unless of course you aren't giving him the chance lol...
