Anyone else get freaked out over a Scorp?

I very very briefly dated a Scorp guy back in Dec. I went out with him 3 times, the third time I met him for coffee to say things were going way too fast and that dating/relationship with him wasn't going to happen.

He was what I'd consider normal on the first date, nothing too intense or deep. Date two was something else though, he was talking about us being Twin Flames, reciting love lyrics, saying how I was meant for him and so forth. That pretty much made me want to run for the hills. I was in a state of WTF just happened. I did not feel that kind of connection at all. He wanted to stay in touch all day long by text, one of those people who just won't let a conversation end.. drives me nuts! I like to say what you have to say, get an answer and go on about your business.
He also pretty much stalked me on FB for a while, so I ended up blocking him.

Anyway, he's sent random text messages over the last few months sometimes hinting at going out for pizza etc. I've declined each time and just let it slide. We do have some mutual friends and were both at the same gathering yesterday evening. He wasn't there when I arrived, but when he did show up the energy he gave off really made me uneasy. He was staring at me from a distance with a look that I just couldn't figure out. I eventually just left quietly because I felt so uncomfortable.

Have any of you Cancer ladies had a unsettling experience with a Scorp male? How did you get past the bad vibes phase?
In order for me to make sure I never see him in person I will have to cut out seeing some of my friends 😢

I'm stuck on Twin Flames.
I have been reading about Twin Flames and if you two are indeed Twin Flames this is just sad all around for both of you.

I generally like intense passionate relationships, but I want the guy to hold onto his card in the beginning.
It allows us to get to know each other better.

I have never been freaked out by a Scorpio except that one time I almost got kissed by my Art instructor.
I was attracted to him too but at the time I had just got my heart broken by a Leo and dating my instructor would have been a bit weird for me.
He was very supportive of me as an artist.
I miss him. 😢

Both of the Scorpios I've dated I rapidly fell madly in love with and was doing this kind of crazy behavior right back at them. I can see how it would be very unsettling to receive this kind of obsessive attention from a Scorpio (or anyone) if you don't feel the same way. Even when both people are feeling the same way it's unhealthy & unsustainable.

I once had a Libra man who I think had some strong Scorpio influences do that to me. Or perhaps he was deliberately trying to be like a Scorpio? Looking back, he said something to the effect of actor Ryan Gosling (a Scorpio) being his role model & he was constantly doing intense staring, but it seemed forced. We only went on a couple dates. I was a bit interested at the VERY beginning, but he came on WAY too strong & was talking immediately about getting into a serious relationship & how perfect we were for each other, & getting upset if I didn't text him back immediately. I broke things off & he thought it was because I was too in love with him. He showed up at my house so I told him VERY clearly, yet politely, that I just wasn't into him & wasn't ever going to be & didn't want to give it a shot because I didn't want to waste his time & I wished him the best. A week later he got a girlfriend & left me alone.

With a Scorpio I think it's a delicate situation to reject them while making sure you don't end up on the receiving end of stalking or vengeance. I would suggest being honest, yet kind & maybe detail all the reasons it isn't ever going to work, from his perspective. Like you have his best interests at heart. Scorpios seem attracted to challenges. I would be tactfully honest if he texts you instead of just saying no thanks or I'm busy.

Oh and I think with the man who was behaving this way towards me it helped to explain things to him in person, as opposed to by text, since he could continue to imagine that if only we were alone together in person I would fall under his spell, plus texting is a confusing form of communication. I'd proceed with caution though & think of a game-plan & good speech if you're going to try this.

Go with your gut feeling. If you're not feeling a connection and he's laying the lines on thick right away, he's trying to hook you in. This isn't a Scorpio thing. This is a people user thing. I had a Virgo try the same lame tactics. When I called him out on what he was doing he tried to play the victim. Don't ignore your intuition!

The scorpios I do know have been wonderful, supportive, stable, intense, smart, quiet. I've only met 1 scorpio who was a complete mess: immature, delusional, loser in life, desperate. I walked away and didn't look back.
