Been seeing this Aries man for almost a year and I'm Libra. We both decided not to get serious from the very beginning as he's moving away to New York for a year in September.

Long story short, we both have been spending time with each other a lot like once a week. We decided to stop talking to each other early on this year as we felt like it was going to get serious. Then, we started talking to each other again.

He's currently preparing himself for NY and he's busy applying jobs etc. I booked flights to NY in December to see my family and I'll spend the weekend with him.

I don't want to bore you any further, we never agreed to be exclusive and he said he hasn't been with anyone else, me neither.

I'm in love with him and I can't say it. I'm really happy for him to go and gain all the experiences but I'm going to miss him so much and it's just heart breaking because we get on so well and the timing is butter.

I don't want him to forget about me. I know I sound really baby ish but what can I say to him. I've been trying to act cool the whole time and helping him with everything he needs but there were times I just want to say I love so much thanking for making this year better for me but I can't.

So what do you think I should do peeps ?

He won't forget about you, don't worry with that ^^

You don't need to say it...show it...and you might get *lucky enough* for him to say it to you first !

I have followed your story...and i really think that he likes you, i think he really does...and tbh with you...i think that in his head, he is trying to do the right thing...what should be done.

That's allways the hardest choice.

But if he is doing this...in the way that he is doing...know this...it's because of you.

He could have fooled you...told you lies...not be there after your fights...etc, etc...but he did not do any of this...He allways told you the truth...(well at least from where i stand, i think he really did told the truth).

So....don't say it...show it...he will understad your *cue* 🙂

I've never been touched so much from reading these comments. Thank you for following my over thinking process. I feel like he wants to say it but he won't because he's moving away.

I'm going to wait and see. You are right, He wouldn't be around if he doesn't want to.

Thank you so much for your views. It's means well to me

Hmmm this is a bit of a heartbreaking situation. BUT who knows what the future holds...let him secure his life first-career etc and then maybe he will focus on you and a possible relationship. I think Aries are very ducks-in-a-row like. Not like us leebs lol! When they give, they give their ALL so I can so see him not making it official until he knows he is capable of giving it his all. They don't do things by half!

Honestly, I've read a few of IamTheRam's posts before and I can't believe he's Aries. Not saying anything bad, but how calm he is, most of the time Aries don't leave anything to chance, they want something, then they go take it. Never sure if he's just saying what you want to hear, even though I think he is right. Actions speak louder than words and I think he'll know how you feel.

The thing is, and I've been in LDRs, when you say goodbye and move away, it's like "I wanna be together, but how's it gonna work".. and what’s the point if you can't spend time together, you're stopping yourself meeting someone new, and Aries don't have patience or time to wait around.

But, and this is a big "But", it can work, he just needs a bit of encouragement. If he sees you’re prepared to fight and make it happen, then he will want this too. Tell him what you say here, you don't want him to forget about you, tell him it is heart breaking, tell him these things! You don't have to say "I love you", but something else from the heart, like you've posted here.

From experience, I had an LDR with a Libra but I didn't think it was possible, because women had moved away before and I’d forgotten them in time. I thought the only way forward was to forget her. However, a couple of days later she messaged me, she was very emotional and she said told me something like, I’m not going to write the full message but something like "never forget me, I don't want you to ever forget me" ... and I was a bit surprised, and I don't know if it's a Libra thing, but it made her more attractive, because we all know the reason why we don't say "I love you", it's fear, putting your love on the line and being open... I suspected she thought exactly the same as you do now, but when I saw she had overcome something, that she risked being vulnerable for me, and that she thought it could work… I really wanted to try, I messaged her back straight away. But I'm convinced if she hadn't sent that text, I would have gone on to forget her. Because Aries are good at war, you don’t really need to consider other people feelings when you have a war, we can shut feelings down if we believe it’s the only way forward. But you are Libra, you can show him another way, of love and romance, because Aries want love. There’s a reason Aries is ruled by war, and Libra by love, and a reason people have heard of Ares and Aphrodite. At some point the Aries sees how Libra feels love and how vulnerable she is, the protection/hero aspect of the Aries kicks in and he feels like he could die for her, the love is like a movie where he’s the knight and she is the princess he must protect. This kind of love can overcome all obstacles including distance. How a Libra does this, I don’t know, because Libra is the master of love, not Aries, but maybe telling him is the way.

Later on, it may be the only way it can work, telling him now. Because we all know how sociable and flirty you Libras are, and if he think you’re out flirting about, then the only way really will be to shut feelings down. So you will need to persuade him at some point this isn’t the case, and why wouldn’t you flirt with other guys, because you love him. But also, he may think you will forget him, like I said, we all know how sociable and flirty you are?

Calm ?...now that's something no one as ever said to me before...live and learn, hey ?

And he is not leaving anything to chance...he knows all the possibilities he can find in NY, hence why he didn't wan't to make it serious now?

But he also like's her...he knows that....and you know what will fuck him up in the end if she keeps her "cool" ?...its when he realises that he can't find something in other women...because he already found what he was looking for in her.

I've been to a very similar situation like these...hence why i gave my advice to her.

But let's get back to me Jo.

You think i am here for the likes?...the advices?...the jokes?...the gifs ?...the wannabe's?...the tryhard's ?...the loosers ?...lol

Ohhh Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo....like a true Aries...i have my clear purpose on this place..it's one and one only...and it's nothing of your fucking buiseness.

So, next time you decided that you want to *hold the spear*, do me a favor and quote me or put a @ behind my nickname...this way i wold have respected you...i caught this one by chance....and that's not a very Arian thing to do, you know ?...

Nothing bad..but hey...you know how us Aries are.

Take Care Jo.

No beef with you, just don't really know how to do quotes without quoting the full thing. Just think the opposite of you, that's all. If LibraJackson doesn't reach a certain level now, then he will forget her (both Libra and Aries good at forgetting people though, just who first). How does your advice even help, just wait for him to move away and realise he had something with LibraJackson. How often do Aries go back and live in the past? If there is something, then someone should say something. Doesn't have to be "I love you".. but from my experience, logically even if he thinks back and thinks "yes I had something with LibraJackson", he would also think, yes but I can find that here in NY. Unless like I say, she says something, because if she says something, then that separates her from all the rest.

But the reason I used the word "calm" to describe you, is that not doing anything different or saying anything, seems very calming advice to me. And I though as a rule, Aries take what they want, live is too short. Lets wait around patiently to see what he does? Not heard an Aries say that before, that's all. Apologies for not quoting you.

I'm just a bit surprised and thankful that IamTheRam has been following my posts. I am the overthinking type and believe me. He said things in the pass that I didn't want to hear. I'm not say he defines the decision in my life but I genuinely feels like his views have helped me in the past.

From reading your views, I can see a clearer image of Libras and Aries.You are right, I'm going to tell him how heartbreaking it is but I also want him to explore the world and be happy. I'm happy he gets to do this in his life time. I will see him again in December for a visit.

Part of me feel selfish if I say I love you to him. I feel like it's going to make things harder we both knew this is going to happen. I want him to be happy and explore, I just don't want him to forget about me.

A year is not long. I can wait but I'm not going to ask him to wait because he's going to NY ! he should do whatever he wants. If that makes any sense.

Librajackson, you wrote: "I'm going to tell him how heartbreaking it is...."

I am not sure if the word heartbreaking is a good one for an Aries.... unless he has water placements

but still...

he is not going to forget about you, unless you start to behave like the world is ending....

dont talk about heartbreaks, dont say anything heavy, just talk about all the super exciting things he is going to see and experience, be more happy for him leaving than him..

And tell him, how this inspired you, so you are going to do this and that (something new and exciting, new courses, new hobbies, maybe relocating to LA, if he is going to NY, you know 🙂 ), so he will be the one to regret leaving you

just my opinion

This here...is Jackpot ^^

And better then just saying it OP...you should actually really do it ! This way one thing will allways happen...You will Win 🙂

1 Year it's not that much, and before you know it..it's gone..just like you said...but...don't *stop yourself*...keep going!

If you behave like the *world is going to end* is going to end...this actually means you *stopped*.

And you really don't want to do that...you just don't want to end up in an astrology website *blaming* someone else for how your life is going right now or saying things like the fact that "his venus is square your moon sextile whatever the crap" is the reason it *wold never work*....

Life is complicated !

Aries tend to be good at one thing...from *shity* situations...we create *oportunities*.

And this is really what you should do..work on yourself, get some new hobbies, do that thing you allways wanted to do for yourself...i don't know...keep living ! ^^

By *keep going*..at the end of it all...you will realise how much you have grown as a person and as also as a woman.

He will realise that...because you are still *running* hehe...and this means he needs to keep chasing you if he really wants you in the end..and you might even turn the tables on him, hey ?! :p

We can't predict the future...maybe everything will turn out the way you want it...maybe not...but if you keep going...no matter the end result...you win 🙂

All the best Libra ! I really whish you good luck !

Take Care ! ^^
