Why is this Gemini suddenly so unfriendly?

Last week, I started a summer internship at a research lab and was put with another guy on the project, my new partner. The guy is a Gemini sun and moon so though we had ignored each other before being partnered, he approached me after and was really friendly with me. I'm a Virgo sun, Cap moon so I typically have a bitch face but I'm LIbra rising so I can be quite the social butterfly. Since he was being really friendly and also pretty flirty, I didn't really hold back either. Everything was fine for the first week, he even asked me to come to his dorm on Friday (last Friday, not today). I went and we hung out and did some work as well and while talking, I found out that the guy he shares the apartment with is someone I used to like and was involved with but have bad blood with now. I know from experience that he has a drinking problem so I told the Gemini guy to be careful. It was also probably evident that I didn't like his suite mate, apparently I make a face every time someone brings up bad-blood guy. Anyway, Gemini guy was texting me that night and he seemed fine, if not a little drunk. When I saw him on Monday though, he was pretty cold towards me and has been that way all week. He won't say hi or bye and puts in headphones all day in lab and obvious ignores me until I wildly wave my hands in front of his face, by which point he can't ignore me without me knowing he's doing it on purpose. He doesn't talk to me if he can help it. I have no idea what happened but his demeanor took a whole 180 degree turn from how it was last week. I know this is all targeted at me because he's fine with other people in the lab, he's still friendly with them.

Anyone know what's going on?

Well obviously it's his roommate. It's probably his friend that he knows better than you, so it probably turned him off when you were saying some not so great things about him. He is closer to the roomie than to you, so it is you who should have been more careful with your words. Regardless of it being truth, it should be a social cue to not really say bad things about someone's roommate unless they start in on them themselves.

There are two sides to every story - I am guessing he heard his roomies side after yours (the one you were calling an alcoholic), and is acting accordingly.
Yes but I know that too. I didn't exactly bad mouth his roomie, I just told him that he used to drink a lot when I knew him and then would send me stupid texts while he was drunk. I just told him to be careful because his roomie is typically fine the next morning while everyone else suffers. He was fine about it all because I was just telling him to be careful. I don't really like talking to or about his roomie so I didn't say anything else about him and I left before he got home. I even texted Gemini guy that night to make sure he was okay and we went back and forth. He even texted me before going to bed to tell me that he was going to bed.

The only possible reasons I can think of for this are that he's just generally unhappy in lab (he seems fine with everyone else, definitely got less friendly though), roomie told him some random crap about me, he's angry because I didn't text back the night he told me he was going to bed until the next morning (i fell asleep before then), he thinks I abandon him when our boss asks us a question on the spot (I've said I'm not good with those so I don't say anything) or just thinks I'm stupid.

He's still polite to me but he doesn't really laugh or joke around with anyone much anymore but even his attitude is a little demanding or condescending, like I'm not doing something right, which I typically am. What would make a Gemini react this way?

Did he know you and his roomie used to date?
No, he didn't really know either of us before the internship started. The only reason I spoke about his roommate was because he told me he's his roommate and I figured it was a good idea to give him a heads up.

In fact, his roommate has been kind of ignoring me lately as well. He doesn't like the fact that I don't pay him any attention anymore but he almost convinced me that he's ignoring me this time.

But did u mention, or does the Gemini know you hooked up with his roommate in the past? That could be it right there.

I didn't divulge any personal details too much but I guess it was obvious that there was a past between us when I told him about the drunk texting and all but no, I didn't explicitly say. He was fine that whole day as well and I didn't talk to him Saturday or Sunday but his attitude towards me was cold when I saw him on Monday.

What exactly do you mean?

ugh typical virgo.. why do you talk behind ppl's back?? and you are so in denial saying you didnt say anything bad about his roommate only that he used to get drunk and send you stupid texts ... LOL really ... yeh thats not so bad.. you were the good girl trying to save the lab guy from the drunk guy.. well done.
Yeah I mean, I don't see how thats even talking behind his back, it is true that he drinks a lot and he did constantly send me drunk texts. I only mentioned the texts because I was making the point that he's not in his right mind when he's drunk and has been known to do some harmful things (calling people names, being annoying, getting violent sometimes, etc). The lab guy is a year younger and he's fairly new to the lab so I basically act like a mother goose (as in protective) towards him. I did anyway, right now I'm just trying to figure out what happened.

Ugh it's hard to say... Possibly the Gemini may have liked you and when he realized you had hooked up with his roommate it turned him off. I just say cuz I experienced this before where Gems tend to put loyalty above a love interest. They don't like to mix the two. I hope that makes sense... 🙂

He's the one with the issues, not you. It's funny because if a Libra pulled something like the Gemini in your story people will jump in and say he's being passive aggressive.

And posting on the Gemini forum won't really help because obviously they may act the same and all that'll happen is they'll defend him.

You did nothing wrong. Everyone has experiences with people and being quiet about it is kinda weird. He may just be having a bad week and it could be not personal.

You're stupid! Lol

Yeah, it makes sense, I would be put off as well. I suspected that maybe he likes me but I also knew that Geminis were super friendly and flirty in general so I didn't think much of it.

Maybe It turned him off, how you spoke about his room mate..he assumes you will say the same about him when you are done...

oe his roomy didnt say nice things about you..dunno..just ask him
Yeah this. ^^

Maybe he did ask his roomy about OP but his roomy didn't say anything bad about her yet she's the one who has been doing that. IDK

I don't like that either especially when I just got to know the person.

OP, give him time. Let him be for awhile. Just do your own things as for now.

@jacky as well

It would make sense if he didn't like me warning him about his roomie but he didn't seem upset or anything then and he was fine that night as well so whatever changed, it changed either over the weekend or on Monday.

It's definitely possible that his roomie said something either good or bad about me. If it was good or bad depends on how he asked; if he told him what I said, it could've been bad (even though everything I told him was the truth) but if he just asked about me, it may have been good as he doesn't share his real opinions with people he's not close to. Or he may have just told him about how we know each other.

Maybe he's heard your Taurus horror story. Doesn't want to get tangled in your mess. Have you ever thought about how you project yourself?
Lol I'm surprised you've heard about it.

Not a chance, I don't talk about my personal relationships and fiascos quite as much in real life as I do online. Mostly because I'm looking for advice on how to best deal with situations and it's just better to get an unbiased opinion online, which no one around me would be able to give me.

I get the idea that you have a thought about how I project myself though so go ahead and spill it.

You are obviously a drama queen .. and then you confirmed the suspicion when you talked shit behind someone's back.


You were dismissed. And probably rightly so, from the sounds of this .... you literally went out of your way to trash someone else, when nobody was even asking your opinion on his character.


When you started your drama on the Pisces board, I called you a manipulative douchebag for the way you were so conniving in your treatment of the Bull ... and then I come here and see how low you really are.


Obviously, the roommate told him how aweful you are, in how you'll start shit behind people's back .. and it didn't take much, did it? because he can see for himself that that is exactly what you are.


Virgo women are just assholes, and not much more, it appears .. there's no love or fondness in anything you talk about .... the only things you talk about are descriptions of how you manipulate the people around you for negative reactions, so you can bitch about the people.

Lol, you're going around being negative on everyone's posts and telling me that I'm a manipulative bitch? Ha! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Literally every comment of yours on any post you have thus far commented on has been negative towards the OP. Even if you want to point out some of the OP's mistakes, there's a more tactful way of doing it which you clearly don't have.

Also, just a general fact here: another person's actions are their own choice. Their reaction is based on their attitude and their choice. I can't be held responsible for someone else's actions.

Yup, I've been mirroring him (basically ignoring) and will probably continue to do so until he approaches me again.

Playing games with him for attention, rather than actually talking to him like a rational adult is pretty much all you got .. it's all you describe of your actions.

Anyway, I don't really associate with cunts .... so I'm out. I might fly back in once and a while to point to one of your character flaws to your viewing audience, because most people are oblivious to signals that are outside of the ego radar.

Lol its all about perspective; you call it playing games for attention, I call it giving him his space to do whatever and hopefully not smother him with personal questions. I only met him 2 weeks ago, I don't know him well enough to broach topics about his feelings. I've just done my best to let him know that if he does want to talk to me at some point, I'm here. It's called respecting his space, you should try it sometime, it's very mature.
