Hello everyone, hope you could shed some info on a Cap I'm involved with. Or was, idk?

Met him last June online, texted until finally meeting in October. We live different countries, I work in travel he in military at war zones. He flew up to meet me (and another lady friend of him) in my country.

It went well, just happy to finally meet him, got seriously off guard a few times him making baffling comments but then again acting nicely. He's one hot strong smart 41yr man 😉 Yes slept with him, couldn't resist he stayed at my place 3 nights.

No further decisions made he went away, kept texting. Mostly me iniating but didn't think it off a big deal, he's in tough job so just appreciate any contact at all. asked him to join me on my work trip abroad, he quite eagerly suggested it and it felt ok since our schedules are really difficult to match anyway (quite fast maybe still?) Though he couldn't make it due to burnt passport. Anyway I told i'd of course hope to see him when his off next time in Feb and that's when things started going south.

I couldn't get any straight answer whether he even wanted to see me again. Told he told he was difficult never around and wouldn't get any easier. Would try to look into us meeting, I suggest I go to him then but thats a big no to him due to living with relatives. I figured things were tough for him at work so I let him be. A few weeks later he msgd he can't make it to my country this time, had a shitty leave and wished me well. I was hit by it, but thanked him and wished well. I actually thought that was it.

Month later he msg how's his friend and I'm baffled. Didn't reply nicely and he told had hoped to stay in touch with me, enjoyed my company and thought I was really nice lady. I told can't stay just friends with someone who I've been trying to pursue a romantic relationship with. He replied he has very nice friends who are ex lovers it's about being mature and seeing that two people like each other enjoy each other but don't necessarily want a relationship that way. I didn't understand so I didn't reply.

A few weeks later I msg telling I was going on work trip to his country and city next day and if he was around maybe we could meet up. He replied nicely saying hi pretty still overseas would've been very nice to meet you hope next time. I replied yes maybe. This was a month ago.

What now? Is this man interested in me or what? Did I expect too much and then was left cold and misunderstood smthg?

I'm not a Cap, just a fellow Crab. From a Man's POV, he's interested but can't commit to a serious relationship. Maybe it's due to the nature of his work or he's just not there yet to settle, even at his age. It's either you agree with the above^^^ or just move on. Sorry!

Reads to me as "I don't want a relationship with you, but I'll sure enjoy you when I can". (aka sleep with you).

Thanks for all the insights 🙂 Yeah I have already kept myself detached -I did after all think in Feb that this was it when he told can't make it to see me but then contacted again.

Yeah you have all the same points covered here as what I've been trying to figure out.

I know on a relationship wise the sex was too fast. I did try to fight it but a lady needs some loving too after long dry seasons 🙂 He didn't get much of it but I sure did if you know what I mean 😉 on the whole I just figured then that if nothing else comes of this well at least I got some loving with superhot man who flew all the way abroad to get it with me 😄

He said sex isn't that important to him anymore he's a old man and actually I kind of understood what he meant.. He said he was all sore after a long time since not having any and I surely got him all turned on. Well my pleasure 😉

Yep the married/family at home thing has def been on my mind as well since me flying over to him was a big no-no! But... I've stalked him on Fb and honestly nothing suggests it.. His friends comments suggest he's a nice guy with tons of friends everywhere (lots of lady friends yes, and he days visit them abroad...). I have thought about these myself but smthg says that it's not like it. I somehow sense he's got major major blocks when it comes to relationship. Idk.

No worries I have no hard feelings it's just a really interesting puzzle this one 🙂

I'm sure I could just ask him about these and I think I would get an answer. Honest one? idk since he's got me puzzled. We did argue early on last summer about a msg he accidentally sent me meant for someone else. He saying it was an old msg he was deleting i didnt buy it got all fury and he told he was insulted by me and I have judged his whole personality based on one msg. Got me thinking. Am I really misreading these "red flags" I see everywhere.

To go back to sex ruining the mystery and not being interested anymore. Then why suggest really strongly he'd want to go along with me to my work trip?

When he said no to me flying to his place I think the no meant not staying at his house (he did explain these conditions when we met and he's trying to move out wants a farm in the middle of nowhere in Uk or a flat abroad. I sensed this living this was weighing him down heavily) but I suppose we could've met somewhere else had I really pushed it. which I didn't for some reason.

About the tons of lady friends. I mean is he really so simple he'd fly around Europe sleeping with them when he's off? he works 2-3 months in Iraq and the off month and goes shagging on his free time? This really smart Cap? idk. He said he doesn't travel for sex like some his mates prefers more unique places. Idk.

Don't laugh at me here know but could it be that he is interested, maybe not the best time in his life do to his schedule which we did argue last summer I told I don't do well if a person I'm interested in is away 2 months a row it got him reacted was worried and told it would only be for few years. When he contacted me in April asking how his friends was i was astonished i thought it was done already and i was quite baffled and nasty saying not his friend friends dont sleep with eachother he's an ex romantic interest dont have any use for him as a friend when im healing my heart. So his answer was that my reaction was unusual but very direct and that he would've hoped to stay in contact with me enjoying my company im a really nice lady being mature seeing that two people etc. Could it be he felt I didn't want him? Was I overall too many steps ahead thinking he didn't want me so I shut you off for good? Guess I'm reading too much into this. _??_ i analyse too much with not much substance. But he's got me puzzled.

I just really started thinking about this a few weeks ago then real hard due to my problematic history with men. I have my issues, maybe he has his thus so many failed relationships? I've never had a real longlasting relationship so who am I to judge him? I also think our ways of thinking differ a lot, Me Cancer sun&Moon, Gem Mercury, Taurus Venus, Libra Mars, him Cap Sun Gem Moon Cap Mercury Aqua Venus Taurus Mars.

I mean I would just really finally want to get through my overanalyzing insecurities when it comes to men and if there was something going on here, and could still be, I'd want see it all the way till the end before making hasty judgments. We had good conversations, similar values, he's smoking hot British gentleman and I'd honestly like to see if it could become something. If not, well at least this time I hope I could be emotionally stable enough to see it till the end where it really can't become anything. I think he is worth me struggling through this and figuring out him. I know he's much clever than I am can't play any games but I'd like to understand how his mind works.

Sorry to be brutal but I think he's probably got more than one of you 'on -the -go' so to speak whilst
remaining non-commital. Perhaps he's trying to make up his mind but the whole point is this, if your roles were reversed you would FIND A WAY to be with him simply BECAUSE YOU WANT TO. I appreciate the barriers you mentioned but they could be overcome IF HE WAS REALLY INTERESTED LONG TERM.

Thank you all fir your insights 🙂 Oh no no no not love I didn't say anything about love! I'm wondering if he was/is interested and is there any substance to work on 🙂 I think you're on to smthg but I still don't believe just the sex killed it. He did after all contact me frequently after it and was nice. I suppose he would've stopped there shortly after us meeting if that was the case. He did say he wasn't interested in other women due to struggling to maintain one 😉 idk. Yeah the passport was burnt in a bombing 😢 and took a while to get a new one while back in his country. That's not the issue. I think he just had too much going on then to adjust to my inquiries about seeing. Idk. I may have been in a totally different mind setting the whole time as he. Well I'm going to find out now if there's anything to work on and take what comes as just a relief he's ok and alive.

Yeah they both were burnt and got an Er one to get out of Iraq and to get a new personal needed to apply for it in his home country. I don't think that's the issue.. Before he lost them he himself suggested to come along with me on my work trip to Asia. I know it's a strange setting here and I'm probably facing a dead end here but I wouldn't want to call it quits as things were in my opinion left somehow open. I'd like to get to know him with a right mind setting and with a long term prospect but if it's not what he wants with me then so be it. I just want to figure this puzzle out if possible. We may too different to connect on a relationship wise but I'd like to see it all the way before closing the chapter. I don't have high expectations but in my mind setting everyone worth thinking about is worth the effort. Maybe not on his side will see!

I'm going to leave this to aquapiscescusp and other female dxpers to sort out.

I don't want to be accused of being a woman hater (yet again) just for criticising a woman... by a bunch of shameless hypocrites.

who accused you of that? names.... 😄

I know married men who are on facebook and have NOTHING to indicate they are married. No pictures that include wedding rings, no pics with spouse, nothing in the background that suggests it, nothing. They are VERY conscious about making an effort to appear unmarried - there's a reason for that.

It seems in his view I wasn't interested. When he told (excuses I thought in my mind then) he can't make it to see me back in Feb and me going to him was a big no on his side, I actually thought it was it. On his side. I didn't understand that if two people are interested in each other, would they not want to see each other when it could've been possible. So I figured he wasn't interested to start with.

So when he contacted me (out of blue I say cos I was astonished) after a bit over a month asking how his friend was and I got all pissed off saying not his friend can't stay friends after being romantically interested etc etc.

Now he says I was the one who wasn't interested and wanted to move on. Oh dear. Our ways of thinking differ hugely.

So now that I have made myself an idiot as asking him what happened (and it took him awhile to understand what I was on about). Can he see it how we miscommunicate and not see me now like an emotional wreckage? How the heck do I come out of this not sounding like a total lunatic? Advise from Cap Men or anyone with similar to his planet placements is highly appreciated!

champagner, that is a question I've been trying understand myself. I think it's the really harsh reply I gave there? I don't know if I'll get the answer from him because I honestly feel he's at lost with my questions. Now that I have contacted him, he don't seem to get what I am ranting about.

My first reply to his how's my friend question was really pissed off. He replies ok sorry to hear you're so upset hope it goes by soon take care. I go ranting again with even more pissed off telling him These are the facts I have no use for someone I've been romantically interested in as a friend while I'm in the process of healing my heart. Good luck with everything and take care. He replies some hours later You sound upset. It's an unusual statement to make in quite a direct way. I was hoping we could stay in touch but i can see it now that cant be if this id how you feel. Well I enjoyed your company you're a really nice lady. good luck with your xxx career. I go continue saying I can't go into just being friends with someone who I've been trying pursue a romantic relationship with, someone i've let into my heart, into my life, into my bed. I told this to you. I don't think there's anything unusual about it if you read the "how women work manual." I can't stay as friends with all this emotional baggage. Stay safe. Then he sent that "have very nice friends who are ex lovers it's about being mature and seeing that two people like each other enjoy each other but don't necessarily want a relationship that way etc etc"

Were we in totally different mind set?

Oh just to get it right. He says "I don't understand what you want lady. You're the one who wasn't interested anymore and wanted to move on. Then out of blue I get a msg you're coming to London and wanting to meet up and all I said was I was not in country and hope to see next time!!!"

The "Oh dear. Our ways of thinking differ hugely " was just my thinkings here. Did I sound really stupid in his eyes? In anyone's eyes? Can he make it to understand how badly we miscommunicate over all?

Ladies i truly appreciate your insights 🙂 I want to say I'm not obsessed I just wanted to get advise from you fellow readers as I have hard time understanding myself, my inner red flags and his words. I have been detached since Feb when things really went south but now reflected this in a matter to really figure this puzzle out -due to my own overanalyzing insecurities which constantly block me from maintaining a relationship. It seems theres no figuring out when it comes to "players" I suppose 🙂 I have been actively keeping all my options open for other interests should there be any, so no worries I understand my worth 🙂 It's been intriguing to say the least with mind gaming with this Cap!

I will leave it to here now. Thank you greatly and you all have a really nice summer and good luck when it comes to love

Because they're on facebook, I know they're married, I know their wives and I know they've cheated on them before. The wives chose not to leave.
