How do you know what the Pisces guy's thinking of?

1) What makes a Pisces all friendly and chatty?
2) What drives him to silence? Is it because he is hurt, contemplating or has lost interest? How do you tell the difference?
3) What makes a Pisces swim back again without any notice, pick up where he's left off and pretend that nothing has ever happened? Is that nonchalance, his way of apologizing or an exuberance in starting anew?

The Scorpio with a perfectionist streak and a stickler for answers is baffled after all these years.

I think the crux of my question is as follows :
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT A PISCES IS THINKING OF EXACTLY?

Lemme try this again

A pisces is friendly and chatty when he is happy and vibing well with someone. Just overall feeling the upstream.

A pisces is silent when hurt or emo. Or when lost in thought or drained.

A pisces comes back after it stops dwelling on the negativity and is over the bullshit and would rather be upstream again than down.

Idk how to tell what a pisces is thinking unless he is telling you. You can ask him but may get nonchalant answers.

I will say tho that when a Pisces care enough he and prolly she, will communicate with you even though we are not the best at communication.

Hey, AfternoonDelights22 (What a delightful id!)

Thanks for the swift reply. Actually, I've posted my entire story in another thread. It is lengthy and admittedly filled with dramatic overtures on both sides. Take the time to read it if you are up for pages of my story! :/

The Pisces is generally quiet and dormant, hence triggering doubt on this Scorpio's end. However, once the Scorpio initiates or after a long period of silence, the Pisces will inadvertently bounce back and draw close, without offering any explanation.

If you haven't read my tale of NINE YEARS (20, if you count the very day that I was first enamoured by him), basically what I've done is to lay the cards on the table.

The Pisces neither rejects nor accepts, yet continues to seemingly hint of more than just doe-eyed friendship. Slippery as an eel!

Hmmmmm

well if I am silent for a long period of time its not good.

I'm pretty talkative with the apple of my eye.

Sounds like he is giving the run around.

He has done quite a couple of things over the years - attempted to kiss me, disrupted my work to insist on handing me something personal that he'd bought overseas, constantly buying me things when he is overseas, would text me literally 24 hours a day (I would go to bed and wake up with texts filled with sweet nothings).

However, what I've done is to run away from him repeatedly, believing that I was not good enough for him.

He has had two girlfriends but both were short-lived --- One that started BARELY A WEEK just after he tried to kiss me but I moved away in 2007. It lasted less than a year.

The second relationship lasted from Aug 2012- Feb 2013. He had bought me numerous things while he was overseas with the 2nd girlfriend from August to October. I had avoided him for more than a year so it is rather puzzling why he would cumulate gifts without knowing if he'd even see me again. He also surprised me by celebrating my birthday with me at a posh penthouse level restaurant in November. His girlfriend's birthday was just 10 days before mine. He also took me to get all the things he needed before he went for an overseas scholarship that will last 1.5 years. (Isn't that reserved for a girlfriend?). He also told me that along with his belongings, he would be bringing all the things that I've given to him over the years. (Huh? Why?)

It was that night that I handed him an album with our photographs over the years. He asked me thrice over the next few days, "Do you want me to call you?". But he never did even when I said yes.

So because of this, I avoided him once he left in December 2012. Shortly after, he broke up with the 2nd girlfriend and has been single ever since. His Facebook status and updates of recent months mirror my blog post of the day or the activity that I am engaged in.This usually happens within less than 1 hour.

That's the summary of my lengthy story (It spans across 5 pages on the initial thread!). Do offer your insights as a Pisces male. THANKS. 🙂

Hmmm why are you always running?

I think the biggest problem with the pisces/scorp combo are the damn games.

It seems like it is virtually impossible for the two to be on the same page emotionally.

Because the scorpios seem to be afraid of it and then the pisces mirror that and then there is this drawn out back and forth of both not being able to communicate what they really want..

That is so true.

While we are intuitively connected(even at the moment, he is online and we posted stuff almost within the same minute. Sheer coincidence.), neither wants to be the first to draw blood. On my part, I think I have laid the cards on the table by handing him an album of our photographs and I'd made a fish tank out of a box, dressed it up with aquarium stuff (he's a fish lover, surprise!)and placed essentials for his trip in it.

The mind games over the years...good grief!

The one thing that still plagues me and I have no answer, is why he asked me thrice over a few days, "Do you want me to call you?" and yet he didn't. I didn't bug him at all. He asked me that on his own accord. Was it because he was still with the 2nd girlfriend and was apprehensive? If so, why ask? Wouldn't silence be a better solution than to create confusion?

And why the Facebook mimicking of whatever I'm doing at the moment? Why not just drop me a direct line? We are texting lately but it is still nowhere near the level of intimacy as it was during my birthday last year.

The Pisces and the Scorpio appear to be patient in waiting games. I know I am. Is that true of the Pisces male too?

Oops, I'd forgotten to answer your question.

Frankly, I don't know why I keep running.

Perhaps it is because I feel that I am not good enough, despite being superior to him academically, financially and otherwise. The Pisces is a strong enigma who busies himself with numerous activities and he excels in everything that he does. The same can be said of this Scorpio but she struggles with the energy levels that are required of late. It is almost a competition between the two which also elicits mutual admiration for each other's passions in life.

Also, I find that when the good accumulates and happiness mounts, I will invariably await the downturn and decide to bolt before I am hurt and disappointed again. Much like a meerkat, I'd bolt and emerge. So would he.

Two of my closest friends feel that this oscillation will continue between the Pisces and the Scorpio till one cuts the other off for good. It has been 9 years since he cornered me for the first date and 20 years since I've set my eyes on him. I honestly don't know when this will end!
