I'm a cancer (21 y/o) with a Virgo rising... So my emotions are a lot more "lax" for me as I have a tendency to be more logical.

He's a gem (23), and idk anything in his chart.

I've been involved with a Gemini for like almost 3 months now. Things started off as FWB. Of course over time he's begun opening up to me (a little) emotionally and mentally. I love our talks. He always says interesting things and we both like to debate. He likes the way I argue because they produce fair points and not nonsense. I am very interested in him and have developed feelings due to acts such as:

-us going on a date or two or three (going into the city for drinks/adventure, beach, lunch)

-he likes when I stay the night; let's me stay even when he's gone off to work

-he has randomly kissed my body while I've been asleep before in the past; still does during sex.

-I met his grandparents on one of our dates (he declared our "outtings" as DATES btw)

- we have even had weekend long binges together

-sex is amazing (on both ends-- he's very vocal)

- always feels the need to let me know he's NOT sleeping/seeing other people

So I had a sit down talk with him as to "what we are doing". He let me know he was open to relationship but not right now cause he's dead focused on his business goals and such. Perfectly fine. Except....

When I asked him how he felt about the things we've done so far as it is not traditional friend with benefits behaviors, he seemed to act as if all this is totally normal behavior to do. I reiterated that "friends" don't usually sleep with each other and have sleep overs and introduce to family members.

I use the word friends loosely, because we are familiar with each other but I don't KNOW him like that. We aren't like legit friends, we've just known each other for a while. Like "hey familiar face that I've talked to a few times! Good to see ya! Bye!" Basically, I wouldn't introduce him to my folks any time soon.

Being pretty bummed as I thought that since he was doing all these things with me, that he at least trusted me enough and liked me more than a "friend". But he kinda downplayed it and said that to him it didnt really strike him as anything significant.... but then here's where the true Gemini comes out.

"I didn't place any emotional attachments to those things but I see you have."

I told him it was strange that he didn't naturally FEEL the vibes we shared on these outings together. Then I told him it was concerning that he is this skilled at being emotionally detached. At this point, I feel like I should be able to vent to him and vice versa about Amy and everything... but he's so damn closed off and neutral about everything that I can't even tell if he's being truly endearing or just going with the flow. Like who the heck just brings some random girl you're screwing to your GRANDPARENTS HOUSE without seeing the significance of something like that. Major stepping stone in pretty much anyone's book. Am I right?

*facepalm*

Anyways so after that, I told him I didn't want him to keep emotionally detached. I let him know that I'm not out to harm him but that I can't keep seeing him and stuff without him being open and real with me at all times because it's starting to push me away. He said he would work on it and that he's usually more emotionally open when he's in a relationship. Mind you, he said this AFTER telling me he absolutely didn't want a relationship. From his mouth: "I understand where you're coming from and I can try to work on it. We can figure this out together".

At the time, that answer was really enough for me. But now I'm more confused and I just want this man to go ahead and ask me out. Like come on, gem. Can't you see I'm what you need? I can help him flourish in his emotions and bring stability while also challenging his mind. It's perfect tbh.



Anyways, what do you guys think?

Am I tripping for taking these things as emotional leaps? What should I do? We agreed to continue seeing each other (aka, me come over... potential sex... guaranteed sleepover and then maybe go out somewhere together if we are both free from work obligations).

Should I pull back? What will help me bag this Gemini? Thanks!

Does he feel emotionally connected to you? Does he kiss you randomly for no reason just because? Does he have a soft look when he looks at you... does he always look in your direction, hold hands? Does he open doors for you?


When we last spoke, he was saying he is typically emotionally closed off, but was willing to be more open.

In the past he has kissed me randomly on my body. He would do it when I'm asleep or awake but he hasn't done that in a while.

We held hands on a date but I let go because I wasn't sure if that was okay to do as we were still FWB aHe makes me nervous.

The problem is you see him as having more value and you therefore have more to lose. Look at your self as the valueable one and he should be afraid of losing you. Kissing you on your body is not what I meant... more like sweet kisses on your lips. You want a relationship, he doesn't. Maybe tell him point blank what you want and then see what he says. Gemini especially very charming and know what to say so don't be fooled! If he says "yeah I'm not ready now" say beyeee! Good luck, let me know when you are and ✌️
