Posted by LibraLovesHimYes I have to agree - it is true.
Caps require alot of attention and validation-it comes from their inecurities about not being good enough. They need their ego's stroked big time-this one sounds like he popped up for just that. I know them well from both sides-getting to know u nd in a relationship with u, or getting something else from you which satisfies their need and will be ruthless in cutting u off.



Posted by bytheseaYou're expecting too much from someone you've never met. Keep in mind that someone you've never met doesn't really exist until you meet them in person. Having expectations of someone you've never met is a red flag to them.
Thank you. I know that is truly the thing to do, but you get it... we were so smitten for 12 days straight, then he comes back home to our city, and he's short and abrupt. He's a Cap so I know that Caps are super busy, business-minded, always working... but so confusing and frustrating because he said we would talk on the phone, but he didn't even acknowledge. I know they need their space and he may be re-acclimating at home after being gone for a month. I do feel like an idiot for blowing up his phone. I was getting impatient, and my insecurities of course got the best of me. Ugh. Why can't people just acknowledge? It takes a few seconds. Thank you, Vixen2.
Would still love to hear from Cap men out there, though! Need a man's perspective, please...

Posted by bytheseaTHIS sounds a little crazy.
And to be honest, I liked him better when he was a Pisces. Lol. ..

Posted by bytheseaI am really not trying to be mean, please realize that. But this here, tells him you are capable of not sticking to your boundaries. If what you say were true, then why would you suddenly drop your standards for him? Especially when you don't even know him. It also tells him that you say one thing and do another and would make one question your character.
I told him in the beginning when he first started to ask for sexy pictures that this is not my norm. That I don't put out on the first date and that I would never send pictures to anyone I hadn't met yet.

Posted by bytheseaOMG! Please don't chase him.
To RumiL, the last text from him was two days ago (I know, not long but with where I believe our situation is, it is because we texted/spoke every day) and it was when he said he was at the movies, asked me if we could talk later, and that he was at the theatre (I asked if he was at home watching or at the theatre). I texted him back saying to have fun. Then nothing. Then I sent the five texts that night, which included the sunset pictures, asking if he got them, if he could talk, then one last time saying I was going to try him on the phone again. Nothing. It will be 48 hours this afternoon. It is painful only because we were at it 24/7, then all of a sudden, nothing. I’m an independent, self-sufficient, self-reliant, single mother who knows her place in this world, is comfortable in her own skin and can take care of almost everything and anything. But this is driving me crazy.
To Cheekyfaerie, he did text me very early morning two days ago saying he made it home, but that he passed out and that’s why he didn’t text me back the night he got back. He wanted to meet me the same night he got home, but it was very last minute and I said no, also due to the fact that I had my children. I didn’t want to rush to him, I wanted to plan an evening out.
And for the record, I have never sexted with a man I’ve never met before. This was the exception. I’m quite old-fashioned that way, but for some reason, he got under my skin and he actually told me that I got under his. We just felt a great connection. He had proven to me that he was not catfishing, that he is who he says he is.
So my question is…. Should I send him a voicemail, just being completely authentic and honest and say something to the effect of: would still love to meet you; we got along great; you must be busy but would love to hear how you’re doing; and just so you know, all that sexting between us was a fluke and out of the ordinary and I’m not the type to put out that quickly, want to get to know each other better, etc etc etc
Do y’all think that would be acceptable and non-threatening? Just to be straight and upfront, to remove any questions he has in his head about me perhaps being easy and not wanting to be seen as a FWB?? I’m a Sag so I’m always direct and honest, and from experience, when there were doubts in relationships in the past, I put it all out there very diplomatically and tenderly, and the guy always seem to respond to that. Hence, I’m still friends with the former lovers I want to still be in touch with. Or do I keep waiting?? - which is so hard.
Your opinions, please!!
And thanks again. I love the women on here. Y’all are so thoughtful, to the point, and so nice…not mean at all. :-)


Posted by bytheseaOh Strange! Let me see if it's anything on my end. It should work
Takemeaway - tried sending you a private message, but it wouldn't let me...
Posted by LibraLovesHimNailed it. Selfish and lopsided relationships. Really only fit for submissive givers of the zodiac- i.e. Cancer. Otherwise, get ready for mixed message city. Do as I say, not as I do...

On his drive back home, he called me twice during the day on top of a lot of texting and some sexting. This was over a course of 12 hours during the day. But over those 12 great days, he complimented me, told me he liked me, assured me that he wasn’t interested in just sex because he could easily get that from an ex-girlfriend, said I’m intelligent, sweet, playful, caring, etc. He even tested me & sent a text after a week with:
[I love you’] then it truncated, but a minute later, it sent the following
[re personality.] So it first made it look like he was saying “I love you” but then he added “’re personality”. I don’t know what game he was playing. I joked with him and acknowledged that his message got truncated. Then I asked, “Did that on purpose?”
And he replied with, “You tell me.”
?? What was that all about? Would like to know.
Anyway, we texted briefly yesterday because we were supposed to meet this week & said he would call last night. Never did. I got nervous, and a little crazy I admit. I sent about 5 texts before the end of the night. I did call a few times but no answer. We usually called each other whenever we wanted. Looking at my series of texts now, they don’t seem bad since we were crazy texting each other throughout the day for the last week and a half. But now, I feel completely confused and somewhat like the crazy, needy girl. Do I wait for him to respond? Do I assume he just wanted to text/sext/call me because of the novelty of communicating with someone while traveling? He seemed really genuine and we talked about his investments, his family, little cute stories, his animals, his travels, politics…so I thought we were doing okay. Please help!! I’ve never been with a Cap man before.
