Hi everyone! Pisces F here with a question concerning intimate relations with fairly new Cap M relationship.

Our first few encounters included sexual activity, among other things, with us both sharing that we felt our connection (in general) was special, and we both anticipated it going somewhere.

At one point I mentioned that I like to wait until I am in a monogamous relationship before beginning a sexual relationship, he said he was fine waiting. Well, sending wonderfully confusing mixed signals, I made the moves the next time I saw him and we ended up in bed together. (It's hard not to, ha ha!)

Well, for the last few weeks, we haven't done anything beyond kissed. He hasn't tried to make the moves in any way, while we continue to communicate often while away from eachother, and have even made plans months down the road. I'm quite secure with where this is heading so far.

But.. I'm also very curious about the fact we've basically moved backwards in the sex department, as if it never happened and we are building other things between us and waiting to be intimate.

Is it obvious that he is respecting my wishes? Is he simply being respectful?

Could he be too reserved to make the moves on me now for fear of rejection per what I said? If so, could it be frustrating him that *I* stopped making the moves?

I've never been in a situation like this before, and although I'm not incredibly concerned, and very interested in just letting it flow (and I hope it doesn't seem as if I'm complaining, because if he is simply being respectful of my wishes, then that's great) ... It just makes me really curious what he could possibly think about it. Anyone have any ideas or been in a similar situation?

Caps are easy to please, we are rather simple! we go after what we want with a gusto - but, don't play too hard to get or we'll decide you're not interested and say forget it! Our patience can wear thin. Show us your hand, we'll play ours, albeit rather strategically and to our advantage (we're not going to outright cheat to succeed in our endeavors, but we certainly will not allow ourselves to lose either). We do have great staying power though if we find you worth it and can be quite the rock for your anchor if you choose to dwell within our dark, black, pool of angst - uh, I mean of serene, calm, clear, mystery 😉

OMG! You sound insulted that he isn't making moves to have sex. Why is this so important to you?

I mean, if he is waiting for me, I should be waiting too right...? Until I've been asked for official GF status per what I said to him? Lol.

🙂

I've already send wishy washy signals once, best not to do it again?



But you already did it.

Here's the problem. You said one thing, but did another. So, you say you wait until you're in GF status, but you SHOWED him what your words said aren't true. Words are nothing, actions are everything.

How is he supposed to believe what you say from now on?

I'm not trying to be mean, but you set yourself up for FWB.

Is why I said what I said.

You can't say one thing and do another, not to a Cap anyway.

Truecap - I've really enjoyed reading your input on this board, so thanks for the reply

I was afraid I had set myself up for fwb as well, but we are still spending time together without the benefits.

Hence my question, if it seemed obvious he is simply respecting what I asked for. OR is there no going back one you've already slept together, and this could fizzle soon due to confusion.
