Posted by GreenteaI typically go off of the way someone else is acting but since I like him, I'm more sensitive and much more inconsistent. He only started staring after I told him I liked him, I spoke to him more often before because I was working with him and had a reason but I didn't talk quite as often after telling since we weren't working together anymore. For the large part, I'd smile and wave and maybe talk a bit if he didn't look busy. There were times when i wouldn't do anything to see if he would smile or wave first but often times he didn't, he just stared.
How do you act around him?... maybe there's something about you he.doesn't quite like or camt figure out, amd he doesn't trust that.
I didn't go out with a virgo I know bcuz I wasn't sure about him. Something put me off.



Posted by SunMoonStarsSee, I thought the same thing. I mean, it's true with most people, it's fairly obvious when someone likes you, especially when you're on the lookout for it so for a while, I just told myself that he probably doesn't like me, it's probably just something I said or did or maybe I'm dressed weirdly or there's something on my face as explanations for the staring bit. The thing with him is that he shows emotions and everything with me, I'm actually very surprised by all the crap he takes from me because if I was in his position, I wouldn't take it from someone unless they were really close to me.
He's being nice, maybe he feels bad that he turned you down. I believe that when Caps like you, there is NO guessing about it. You will know. They will spend time and effort and get upset/show emotions.


Posted by TheEmpressHe's staring at you cause he's tracking where you are in the room at all times. He's afraid your going to whip out your balls again and start beating him about the head. Sit the fuck down and CHILL OUT!
I actually told him I liked him, he didn't give me an answer
I let him think about it for a month then pressured him for an answer
he turned me down.
he's been staring at me
he acts weird when I'm around and gets kind of quiet.

Posted by TheEmpressHow? How could you possibly know that? Are you even listening to yourself?
I know for a fact that he checks me out when I'm not looking though.
Posted by LadyNeptuneWoah, chill! I've literally been ignoring him lately to see if he just goes away but it's been a few months and it hasn't worked so I figured it didn't have much to do with me paying attention to him.Posted by TheEmpressHe's staring at you cause he's tracking where you are in the room at all times.

Posted by LibraLovesHimI agree with this. No one likes to be pressured and if they didn't initially give you an answer that's an answer. Stop trying to force a square peg into a round hole. If it's meant to be it will happen.

Posted by LadyNeptuneConsidering that I'm a Virgo, maybe you should consider that I've given this a little bit of thought. I'm not the only person with eyes, I always have friends around me and according to them, he's completely normal until I come around and he just clams up and stares at me for a bit, literally checking me out from head to foot.Posted by TheEmpressHow?

You aren't looking at him but yet can also see that he's looking at you. Super logical. Are you sure your a Virgo??click to expand

Posted by xtinaI agree with you, no one likes to be pressured, especially a cappy but at the same time, you have to understand that I didn't just spring it on him and demand an answer right away, I gave him a month or so to think about it (it was over break so we didn't even see each other or talk for most of it so there was literally no pressure on him for that whole time). I asked because he had started the whole staring thing but wouldn't say a word about it and for me, it was kind of a yes or no thing and I couldn't tell from his actions what his intentions were about it. I just didn't want to live in suspense and wait longer and potentially waste my time and attention on a guy who didn't feel the same way. I figured if he had thought of me in that sense, he'd give me a positive answer and if not then he'd turn me down.Posted by LibraLovesHimI agree with this.

If I were him I'd be turned off. If you already this pushy and we don't know each other intimately that spells neediness to me. Had a Taurus pursue me like that. He literally cornered me (like I was in the corner or a desk and a bookshelf and he had me trapped) begging me to go out with him. HUGE turn off to say the least. It takes a lot to scare off a woman but very little to scare off a man.click to expand
Posted by TheEmpressSorry about the Taurus incident, btw. That would just be downright creepy to me.Posted by xtinaI agree with you, no one likes to be pressured, especially a cappy but at the same time, you have to understand that I didn't just spring it on him and demand an answer right away, I gave him a month or so to think about it (it was over break so we didn't even see each other or talk for most of it so there was literally no pressure on him for that whole time).

After he turned me down, I tried to act as a friend/acquaintance, every weird thing after that has been from his side.click to expand
Posted by SureShotCapHaha, I did at one time and he said he was just spacing out, except how does one 'space out' 12 times in the span of 40 minutes looking at the same effing person?
Just ask him "Why do you look at me"? He will tell you...


Posted by TheEmpressWhere exactly is he supposed to go? Aren't you in the same class? Does he need to switch schools to escape you?Posted by LadyNeptuneWoah, chill!

My thirst? Oh yes, I'm soooo thirsty, parched actually. There's only one thing that can quench it....
Posted by TheEmpressYour grasping at straws. Any man (irregardless of zodiac sign) will chase after what he wants. In this case, that ain't you.
Or does he intend to make a move after we graduate or something but wants to keep it relevant until then?
It's a stupid theory but it's kind of all I can think of right now.click to expand

Posted by xtinaHow did you deal with him? The Taurus?Posted by LibraLovesHimI agree with this. No one likes to be pressured and if they didn't initially give you an answer that's an answer. Stop trying to force a square peg into a round hole. If it's meant to be it will happen.

Posted by RumiLNot really, actually, it's just that I can tell when I'm being stared at so I take a cursory glance around the room and caught him staring 12 times. At that point, I just thought he needed something from me so I asked him why he was staring and he just said he was spacing out.
You too stare back at him. :p

Posted by truecapStellar point here ..
He turned you down a year and a half ago and you're still lusting after him?
Jeesh.
Just think of how many other great guys you've bypassed in that length of time.
Posted by truecapOkay seriously, you may want to read the other comments before just assuming stuff. I'm not lusting after him. In fact, I've been ignoring him for a few months to see if he would just stop paying attention to me but it's not working and I'm wondering why he's so adamant about this. I want some insight into a Cap's personality to figure out what his intentions might be with whatever is going on. If it's something I think would be pointless, I'm just going to continue ignoring him and eventually, he'll do the same. If there's something to it that I'd have to just talk to him about, I'll do that instead. Right now, I just have no clue what any of this might be about so a little help in the form of a little speculation based on the situation would be nice.

Posted by RumiLHaha, yeah, I asked why he had been staring at me. I mean, the only people who do that are my close friends and they're usually trying to catch my eye when they're doing that because they need something or want to tell me something. I assumed the same with him because that's just a little odd, to stare at someone for no apparent reason.Posted by TheEmpressI was just kidding :pPosted by RumiLNot really, actually, it's just that I can tell when I'm being stared at so I take a cursory glance around the room and caught him staring 12 times.

Hmm... You could've let him stare at you lol...instead of asking him why.. Did you actually ask him "why are you staring?"

Posted by TheEmpressYour third post on this thread states you like him and are more sensitive to his actions. You worded it in present tense.

Posted by underwaterthingI'm not even sure if they're instincts, it's just the fact that he still seems to be playing whatever staring game that he started more than a year ago and people have noticed other than just my friends or his (yes, his friends seem to know about it as well because I do get a random dirty text from his number once in a while and then one after that explaining that his friends stole his phone...again).
Don't listen to the rude Pisces. It sounds like you are having some instincts here. Listen to those. Be calm and confident. Caps are really bad at knowing and expressing emotions. Mine did not act like he liked me at first, but he did. Of course I didnt pressure him...I could feel that would make him run. But if I had read his actions I'd have thought no..but something inside me said yes. Listen to your instincts, move ahead.

Posted by truecapI do still like him, I probably always will on some level but I've given up any kind of pursuing that I did 1 1/2 years ago. I don't know if this is normal but I can like someone but not really want to date them or be with them but rather just be content with admiring from afar. I need to focus on my career at the moment so I don't have a lot of time to waste on anyone who doesn't absolutely matter, meaning anyone outside of family and close friends.Posted by TheEmpressYour third post on this thread states you like him and are more sensitive to his actions.

Posted by underwaterthingExplain to me how that works.
He sounds emotionally retarded tbh. Like more so than your avg cap man. Are u sure you want someone like that?

Posted by underwaterthingIs this meant for me?
Go away troll
Posted by truecapWith or without him around, I still wouldn't notice a lot of guys since I'm not looking to date in the first place. I'm friends with a lot of guys but I look at them as purely work-related people. Currently I'm doing more of 'lets set up a meeting for this' over 'lets get coffee and discuss'.
How many great guys have you not noticed because you've been so focused on him?
Posted by SunMoonStarsThat's true, it could just be an ego thing. I've been ignoring him and he still doesn't realize he's the only one playing.
It could also be an ego boost thing since he knows you used to like him. Don't play the game, if he wants to pursue something, he'll make a move. If he doesn't have the balls to do that then move on.
Posted by underwaterthingI'm so sorry about LadyNeptune, she seems to have forgotten her manners.

Posted by LadyNeptuneOkay listen Lady, it sounds more like you're here to pick a fight with anyone who would rise to the occasion more than just to advise someone based on a situation. Regardless of whatever point you're, no matter how valid, it won't be actually considered because you're staring it in an offensive way. So, if you actually want to help, stop being so rude and maybe we will listen; if you're looking for a fight, no one has the time on this forum so I suggest you look elsewhere.Posted by underwaterthingIs this meant for me?

Posted by takemeawayWow, I don't know what to tell you for your situation....About mine, I'm assuming he's observing based on what everyone has said so far which basically means that he will eventually go away if I just continue to ignore him. I actually did ask him that and he said he was spacing out which would be considered if he wasn't 'spacing out' while looking at me 12 times in the span of a 40 min class. It's a little odd because he doesn't typically lie but I decided to just leave it at that because he clearly didn't want to tell me the truth and I wasn't going to get it out of him by force without making a scene.
I'm new but this is for TheEmpress - I have been in a similar situation as yourself but mine was a lot more uncalled for (meaning I was infatuated over a Cap Man that was into me on an online dating site and randomly stopped talking, even after I sent two messages). I have been lusting after him for a long time after that, but he has remained single ever since and I never could understand why he never gave me a chance to at least meet, since he initiated everything. BACK TO YOU -- I sifted through this forum and it sounds like this Cap man is processing his feelings and observing you to make a decision. I know most cap men take a relationship VERY SERIOUSLY and patience is key. This could take months, heck even years. He probably wants to focus on his career and observe you before making a very big step.
On a side note - you strike me as someone with a lot of confidence. Someone suggested you ask him why he stares at you? Or perhaps you did at one point and I missed it somewhere in this forum. Anyways, Cap men always appreciate honesty and I think if you act casual and ask, he will be honest with you.
Don't make the same mistake I did as I've passed on a few guys while I was lusting over my Cap. To this day, I still don't know how he feels (if he even is planning to make a move), but I still notice him on my online dating site.

For the past year and half, he's been staring at me every time we're in the same room, it's gotten less often but it's still there. In the past year, we've had ups and downs even with the few times we've spoken. I just know for a fact that even now, he acts weird when I'm around and gets kind of quiet. Can you guys give me some insight into what was going on before and what's happening now?
