Scorp + Cap Help!

I (scorpio) went on a date with capricorn 2 months ago and things went great! We would text casually and semi-frequently (usually every other day). He was very sweet with his texts to the point where I almost would get uncomfortable (calling me baby and talking about how he was so excited to see where this would go). I'm a bit more reserved when it comes to that kind of talk when getting to know someone but I would text sweet things back, as well.

We have gone on a couple more dates that have been just as fun as the first. Now, for the past three weeks we have tried to make plans for another date but the day of he has always backed out with some kind of excuse...feeling sick, exhausted from work, or something else. All the while he still maintains the sweet texts he sends. I have been very patient and it's always me trying to set something up. I decided to let him know in a sweet, sincere way that I'm sensing his hesitation and that I would like to get to know him better but I'll leave it up to him.

Can anyone give me some insight to this?? Move on??

I appreciate everyone's input!

I don't think he has a girlfriend -we met on a dating app- but It is a possibility that he could be going on other dates. If so, that's completely fair as it's all still relatively casual.

By all means, I'm definitely not one to wait around for anyone. My frustration and confusion is more about how his actions don't seem to line up with his words since he doesn't seem to try and make a date happen but he is so lovey-dovey with his text messages...it's very confusing.

At any rate, I sent him the message I mentioned in the first post and that's where I left it. I don't know capricorns very well so this is definitely a learning experience.

His actions are that he is staying in contact, initiating texts. Those are actions that says he's interested.

Let him set the pace. Let him set up the next date. Men like to take the lead. Let him.

In my experience, every man who had player characteristics started off intense and fast with the terms of endearment, calling me "baby." Of course I did not see it then but it occurred to me, if you are just getting to know someone how can they suddenly be your "babe" or "baby" ? If a person is throwing around these terms loosely, then chances are they are quite use to using them on women in general. To me, that in itself shows you the type of person you may be dealing with.

Just sit back and let it all unfold in real time. Dont pursue him, let him lead. Men show who they are through action so if he is interested, you will see that very clearly, no questions will need to be asked.

Have you been intimate yet?

Besides an intense make out session, no, have not been intimate beyond that.

Cupid- just read your post! Our stories are so similar! I don't think we are talking about the same guy but wouldn't that be something! Haha

You met him on a "dating" app so yeah he's dating others and because you both have a connection he's attempting to keep you on reserve as to not lose contact.

You can date other men as well or you can choose to drop him altogether and move on.

Some men lack boundaries which is why some men will do this rapid intimacy type behavior with a woman where he's appearing to be involved and interested, baby talk, initiating intimacy that leads to sex etc but eventually NOTHING happens.

he's not italian but does live near NYC...whoa

nah, he's got you on the string and he's still exploring the dating site ... why people are always looking for something better when they could just give things a chance - I've had men call me baby from the get go and it was a turn off for me - however, I have called my man bb since the beginning and still do but I was into him and only him after I met him and seeing if things worked with him and they did and it's a year later and we happy ...

Yeah, I agree tcta

I texted him 2 weeks ago and told him nicely that I would like to get to know him better and would leave that to him; haven't heard from him since.

I move on from things quickly and have been dating someone else who is much more genuine 🙂

I don't understand why so many people meeting on a dating website. That would make me think the person is a creep or something. I can't see how poeple meet strangers on the website. Is this the new thing or something?
