Do Pisces play Mind Games?

Like saying that I should call but when I do ignores me? I don't get it.

I'm a Scorpio (sun/Mercury/Venus, Gemini Moon/Mars) & I met an older Pisces (Cap moon, Aqua Mercury/Venus Scorp Mars) over a year ago.
After pursing me for a year (texting & calling, begging to take me out) and me turning him down, until I finally accepted earlier last week. He wore me down, he was super charming, sweet (though a lil arrogant). Timing was pretty good for once. Things started out a bit awkward at first (sniffing each other out, ya know) kinda quiet but by the end of the night, we were completely wrapped up into each other. He's so affectionate! Nothing ever felt so comfortable, familiar. We hit it off perfectly IMO, made plans to see each other again the next day but then he later calls the next night & cancels because of car trouble, which I was fine with, there's always next time. I assured of this and that I wanted to see him whenever he was available. He mentioned something about I should call him more. Although every time I have, he doesn't ANSWER (which is why I chose to ignore him in the first place) I said okay.

He texts me the next day "I guess I didn't make a good impression bcuz you didn't call." But every time I do, HE IGNORES ME. I called twice afterwards to talk about it - no answer. I texted him asking "So, whats the plan?" because we were supposed to meet up. 2 days go bye in SILIENCE (no return of my texts or CALLS)... He finally returned my call EARLY morning the on the 3rd day, I missed it - called him back couple minutes later, ignored again. Haven't heard from him since. It's been another 2 days.

What does this mean?

I hear that Pisces & Aquarius men are kinda infamous for game playing. And the best way to deal with this is just to ignore back?
That they like to chase women? Does he expect me to chase him?!
It is because I haven't shown him excessive amounts of attention, that he calls & ignores me to GET me to show him attention?

I mean I could be obsessing or overthinking, I'm aware lol its only been a week. I also understand if he's busy or needs to be alone or whatever but this seems intentional & disrespectful. I JUST HATE MIND GAMES. I'm thinking I may even go back to ignoring him like I was inclined to know since day 1 but I'm trying to understand what this means! I felt we really had a connection.

Like does he just not like me?! I'm fishing here! lol...

You got to be kidding, you've been playing hard to get for a year, you turned and wore HIM down and now all of a sudden you woke up realizing how much you like him, which was pretty obvious from the start, then as if that weren't enough you come in here pretending you hate mind games when you're the one playing them, besides, to crown it all you also find his behaviour direspectful...

This is absolutely ridiculous.

You turned him into the "clingy type", you made him swallow his pride and now you're somehow surprised because he's repaing you with your own coin?

Remember that Pisces/Aqua, and I am myself, are peacock, so yes we like both to chase and be chased, we like people to tell us how smart and witty we are because it boosts our confidence, which help us becoming even more charming, so spoiling us it's in your best interest, I can assure you we will get supercreative in return, that's how our brain works.

Another thing we absolutely hate is when people don't put EFFORT, hence ignoring him is not a solution, it will just make things worse. You've been so selfish until now that I feel like he's teaching you a lesson, you're not the only one who likes attentions, everyone does.

You said it yourself you think he's super charming and there's a connection between the two of you, so why can't you just follow the flow and see what happens?

Rifght now you don't deserve him, if you really want him, and I suppose you do because otherwise you wouldn't be tripping here, show him that you really care about him, surprise him, TRY HARDER or just leave him alone.

Wait, what? I didn't like him from the beginning. And I didn't wear HIM down. I have to spend time with someone in order for to tell if I like them. Besides, I'm not sure it's as cut & dry as you make it seem. It's not so much he's a victim here. I don't think anything was done maliciously. He was never consistently, persistently pursing me. And I was just being a bitch or anything. Just on & off for a year, ya know how Pisces are. I think... lol... He would check in to see if I were single, ask me out. I'd tell him whatever the deal was at the time. The timing was always off for some reason and he was aware of this. I can't say I was playing any mind games or leading him on. I'm pretty straight forward. T

Okay, well I decided to put my pride aside and reach out to him one last time! Hopefully show him that I care and that I'm not as heartless and I guess I come across? So, text him once more... good morning
We continued texting for a little, I asked if he was busy, he told me he was at work. I went a little further, I told him I was thinking about him; for him to respond "No problem". 😕 I didn't know how to respond or take that, so I'm like "Lol.. okay?" Just left it at that.

I'm tired of wondering what's going on with him, so I just call to simply ask! Tired of thinking about what may or maybe hurt his feelings. He ignores me and I just text "What's up? Why do you never answer when I call you?"

Do you think he'll respond?
Don't fall into old patterns.

Asking him if he was busy was unnecessary, it's a rhetorical question (of course he's busy!) that doesn't leave too much space for flirting, we highly value your creativity through messages and we get bored pretty easily if you're uninteresting. Also telling him you were thinking about him after all that texting and without creating the right mood was probably over the top, I would expect a similar text out of the blue not after a long conversation, but that's just me, take my words with a grain of salt since I don't know either you or him or the dynamics.

I would personally avoid asking question like " why didn't/don't you...", again OLD PATTERN. You're cooler thant that, just invite him, maybe tomorrow because now he's mad, to do something on day X.

If there's one thing you're sure of at this point is that you two have great chemistry when you're together, so casually ask him out rapidily mentioning he fits your agenda perfectly on ... or something like that, of course use your words and style but don't overthink otherwise it may seems you're trying to hard. From his answer you will also know what his intentions are and how to act as a result.

Now THIS was good advice and feedback. I completely agree. Thanks for helping me see things clear, when it comes to how I came across. That was kinda awkward. I was feeling impulsive the other day, so I tend to go with it. *shrugs* It's just now... I feel completely stupid and I honestly don't know if it'll be smart to reach out to him anymore. I'm just kinda frustrated with the whole thing. I like him and all but... I'm just not used to initating anything. Kinda feels like I'm forcing it. Do you think he'll come around again?
