Okay, so I have to admit, I don't really know the first thing about Pisces - I don't have any family or close Pisces friends. I'm a Taurus and I find myself mostly surrounded by Cancer's, Libra's and Leo's.

How do I know if a Pisces guy likes me? I feel like he's giving me completely mixed signals - my gut tells me that he does but actions speak louder than words and so far in that respect, I have nothing to go on...

Thank you LittleStar.

I could perhaps give some background but didn't want my post to be too long!

I know him through work, he caught my eye on my first day. One evening a friend and I went out for a drink, he happened to be at the same place with some other people we know and so we all joined up. It was a great evening! I'm new to the area and he seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me, asking really meaningful questions about my upbringing and aspirations etc - at times it felt a little deep as I'm not used to sharing such personal information but it seemed like the natural thing to do. There have been several other socials where we've gotten to know each other a bit more but if I see him at work, most days he practically ignores me. A few weeks back we went to work after socialising in a group (we'd had a few drinks too), I had just put some coffee on and told him so and he walked away from me saying "you're the best, and you're fit too" - it was like being back at high school! We've exchanged some texts but he hasn't really been all that chatty although he did offer to show me around after I said that I didn't know the area very well...

From my experience and what I know about Pisces' is that Pisces men hardly ever make the first move. You wouldnt think they are, but they are really shy. You'll know if they like you when they try to impress you with their jokes or intelligence. Then they'll read your reactions to their behaviour and open up to you more and more if they get the vibe thay you like them.

Dont tell him you like him. Tell him you really like his presence, that he makes you laugh your ass off and how good of a listener he is.. before you know it he'll come right swimming onto your lap. : -D

I love Pisces. They have a really sweet innocence to them. But dont get it wrong, they can be very mean when they feel like you do them wrong. Good luck!
not true.

you must have met the really PASSIVE pisces type of men.

there are also the shy types too.

all kinds of fish out there. Not just the passive ones.

....and innocence. 😆 haha!! heeehee.

what are his placements and what family background is he from—

those are the steps you need to look at since you're in an astrology forum then we can see why he's super passive.

Thanks Flamebait, that's really helpful!

This guy is super talented but I get the impression he doesn't have the most confidence (which is weird because the first time I met him he came across as such a cheeky chappy who was really popular amongst everyone) so I have tried to inflate his ego with some compliments which I think he appreciates.

All of the girls have their eye on him so I feel really apprehensive about putting myself out there as I don't think I'm his usual type but it feels like we connected on a different level...

Thanks lisabethur8

I know his date of birth but don't know what time he was born or where...does that matter?

What kind of family background information do we need to understand him a little better? I know that his parents are still together, he seems to come from a really loving background. My parents are separated and it blew his mind that my immediate family haven't been together in the same place for 14 years... it was actually really endearing as family seems incredibly important to him

well it should be important since you'll be celebrating his birthdays, but if you dont know the time, that's fine. Lots of people don't have their time even on astrotheme.
that's good on your guy, he sounds, so far like a winner for you.

I feel like such a wallflower when I'm around him in a group, everyone else at work is really outgoing and I just fall in to the background. I'm much better when in smaller social situations.

Sun in Pisces
Moon in Aquarius

He hasn't followed through on anything he's said though about showing me around, he doesn't reach out to me via messages like you might expect him to - I've always been the one to message first. He has however tried to take several photo's of us together when we're out. Speaking of photo's, he's quite active on facebook and instagram in terms of "liking" other colleagues photo's or status' but so far, I've had nothing from him other than the initial adds. That's what makes it difficult for me to understand - any guys that I have dated previously have always done the chasing and it was quite obvious. I have no clue with this guy, maybe he just likes the attention?

I know he was "getting to know" one of the other girls but she was much younger and he told me on the weekend when I saw him that he had met up with her to clarify their position in that he wasn't interested in taking things further. He has also said that people get the wrong impression about him and think that he wants to start dating them when in reality, he just wants to get to know people better.

And just when I end up talking myself out of thinking that there isn't anything in it, he confides in me and my friend about his biggest dream and he said that he's not told anyone about that before. He also asked what I want out of life and a relationship etc and was quick so say that he wants those things and to be those things too. He also said that it was refreshing to meet me because he didn't think that I would judge him like other people, because of my previous work background and experience.

I don't know, maybe I need some more time to figure this fish out and sus out the situation.

So, how do I let this fish know that I'm interested without actually saying so? I think if I put myself out there at work it could be really awkward for everyone involved.

I saw him in the office yesterday and he looked like such a sad little puppy, he told me that he'd had a hard day and that he is feeling under a lot of pressure with work stuff - at that moment he seemed incredibly vulnerable and it was so sweet. He initiated a hug with me as we said goodbye...I don't think that this was a big deal as it's a big thing here - everyone seems to go around hugging each other to say hi and bye. This morning I sent him a little motivational message to say "you got this" and not to be so hard on himself, I wanted to stroke his ego a little bit but haven't heard anything back from him...

I'm mindful as coming across as patronising with these compliments and i'm concerned that he's going to put me in the friend zone but then again, that sounds like how these fish like to work - first friends and potentially something more later??

Well last night was a bit of a disaster! My friend confided in me that she also likes the same fish, and that another much younger colleague is too lusting after him - this fish has all of the females going wild!

Apparently my friend (I also haven't know her too long) and the fish have been communicating a lot outside of work via text messages and whilst the fish and I have spoken a little, we certainly haven't had many conversations outside of being together in person. Maybe I read this fish and his vibes wrong all along... bummer

What a difference a day makes!

Yesterday one of our colleagues asked for some help on a project that he's doing - I heard him telling all of the other guys and they were giggling about it like a pair of school girls. A little while later, the fish comes to ask if I can't help him with his project too as he doesn't think he has enough time to finish it alone...I'm one of four people that he could have asked to help. So that was a really nice little confidence boost after feeling so disheartened yesterday.

Someone said to me that I had probably given him the wrong message because I didn't really answer his question previously about whether I was looking for a relationship as I put it back on to my Dad saying that he was definitely looking for a boyfriend for me so that I would stay here (in the other country that I have gone to for a year, as it stands). How can I tell him now that I AM looking? This morning we exchanged some messages and I asked him if he was going to come out with us when my brothers visit in a months time - he said that he would and I told him how everyone was on "operation set me up" to get me to stay here to which he said he was also on the same mission. His response was a little disappointing because i was hoping that he might say something like "oh, you are looking to meet somebody then?!" but it was probably my fault again for not being direct enough. I don't feel as though I can randomly say "by the way, I am looking to meet someone!" - it sounds desperate and I'm worried about digging myself in to a little hole.

I forgot what it felt like to lust after someone like this, it makes me feel a little crazy with it going around my head all of the time!

Thank you piranhaparadise.

I think that's sound advice about the many admirers. The job is only temporary so the co-worker thing needn't necessarily be much of an issue.

We went for some drinks after work last night, there were 3 girls all throwing themselves at him - it was actually very embarrassing to see them behave that way, although, they're all quite a bit younger than him so are just lacking in some emotional maturity. The fish is too busy trying to be a "nice guy" to everyone but i could see how uncomfortable he was. I can't work out whether he likes one of the other girls, we've actually all spent quite a bit of time together in a group of 3 - she's a sweet girl but has just come out of a relationship (within the last couple of weeks) and she's super outgoing... the fish is possibly a bit infatuated by her.

He was cryptic with me the other day, we were messaging about my longer term plans as I have to make a decision about whether i am going to stay in the country or go back to where i came from - I told him if i met "Mr Right" i could be persuaded to stay (i was trying to rectify the previous conversation where he asked if i was looking for a relationship and i basically told him i wasn't). His response was "see how you feel after your contract. everything is a bit hectic at the moment and nobody really has time to make big life changing decisions *smiley face* haha". I'm not sure what to make of that to be honest, either he's implying things could be different between us then or just being friendly. He has said several times that i should stay but he could just be being friendly.

Life is feeling very complicated!

Thank you for being so kind to me RumiLove. I know i sound a little crazy, this damn fish has really got under my skin! I can't explain it.

I'm an over-thinker by nature and i'm so worried about putting myself out there and getting hurt. Like i said, it's the first time that i've liked anyone since my ex of 5yrs and i broke up almost 2yrs ago so it's a big deal. Also, i can't put in to words how this fish and i connected. But it seems like everybody else feels the same way! Ha!

I'm the kind of person that needs to talk aloud about things to help make sense of them and there isn't really anyone else i can talk to to gain perspective - my friends back home (in the other country) don't know him and i can't confide in anyone here about it because i don't want it to be public knowledge.

Anyway, that's really sound advice and his loss if he's not interested, right? What will be will be.
