I think I've stopped believing..

In love.

Have any of you fish gone through a crappy time with a love interest where they actually made you think love was BS? Maybe not all love, like a mothers love, or Gods love..or "loving" a friend..but, romantic love?

I recently saw a movie with the girl I have some major MAJOR interest in(an amazing Cancer)where some points on love were made by one of the characters, and each time, she'd lift an arm, make a fist and quietly whisper "yes!"..and I'm just sitting there thinking "...BS"

I find that I'm actually quite cold when it comes to this now. I'm sure all it takes is dating and falling for the right woman..but man, feels weird to be a Pieces and think love is horseshit..hah.

I don't think I've ever believed in love.
As you said there are many undeniable forms of love, like maternal love, love for family members or friends, even love for one's wife or husband.
But "romantic love" is IMO purely literrary.
While I appreciate a beautiful love story in story form, real people have lives and shit.

I see your point, Vegetta. And Tiz, she wasn't just enjoying the movie..she's someone who really believes in all that true love romance shit. Basically, everything she believes about it, I think is BS. Made me think twice about my feelings for her..perhaps she doesn't need someone who's ice cold when it comes to love.

Maybe it's not BS..I know people feel it, or whatever they feel they like to call "love"..but I don't believe in it, and I can't really see that changing.

Also, I cant believe I misspelled Pisces in my OP..wow.

I'll voluntarily hand in my fish card for a week.

It's probably just you. You don't like anything, lol.

It's clear that she's into the romantic, kind of sappy love, she's moved by it, and me..it just makes me laugh.

I'm not expecting anything to happen with this girl, I mean..she's amazing and fully my type..but the drive for me to pursue a relationship with her isn't there, possibly because of my last experience with a Cancer girl..who knows. Good to see in not the only one who thinks love is BS though.

I'm not talking about the crap we see in movies, I think we all know that shit is impossible fluff. If not, then it's time for an evaluation,

the point was, a character in the movie spoke about loving someone..and she threw her hands up and quietly rejoiced. The conversation after made it clear that she is a firm believer in true romantic love, she was even a little emotional about it..I pretty much just nodded along and changed the subject. I felt like an asshole, but I wasn't about to blurt out that I think, what she thinks and believes so strongly, is a bunch of baloney. (Sidenote: this was not a date, just a movie night with a couple close friends)

I enjoy a good romantic story here and there, who doesn't? And I certainly know what it's like to feel strongly for someone..but love? No.

How would it make a Pisces man if they had an aquarius moon and aquarius mercury?

Would they be different towards love. I hsve seen that some aquarius placements are distant.

He'd probably be a little less emotional when it comes to feelings, cold and detached but not overly.

Gemini Moon and Aqua Mercury here..

He may or may not be cold, distant..detached with his feelings for you.

I know sometimes I can have a bit of a "who fucking cares" attitude towards some things and actually mean it.

In response to your original question, "Yes."

But I think that many sun sign Pisces- or someone with Venus in Pisces- expects a remarkable amount from love, and from our lovers.

I can drink to that. Not even sure when it just clicked and I realised not to expect so much... though in saying that it's made me much more cynical.

and to OP, totally.

I get really 'emotionally connected' to moves. It's actually one of my embarrassing traits according to me friends because I'm the guy that cries in theatres. When I see those love movies I get on a real high and at the end of it I want to stab it with a plastic fork and then snap that plastic fork and then stomp it to pieces because that shit doesn't exist.

Can't blame me for trying though.

crabs aren't really into romantic love, atleast im not, i think we love the idea of it, but the reality is cheesy and too intimate and fake for us.

i mean we like the gritty type of love, where there's tension, but there's a sense of togetherness

maybe its just me

Nope I'm there with ya.

If you are still dealing with residual issues with the other Crab girl then why did you pursue this woman?

Either move forward with the present into the future or stay stuck in the past.
There is nothing worst than trying to be free and uninhibited with a guy when all he see's is his ex.

I'm not pusuing her, just getting to know her.

The other girl is long gone, but some of the stupid shit she put me through still comes to mind. You're right though.

I've lost hope before. I've never stopped believing. Once I stop believing in things I believe in that will be the end of me.

Think about it. Pisces. "I believe".

I've said that to myself so many times before haha.

"Have faith, keep believing, keep trucking. The second I stop believing well then I truly may as well have ended my life right there".

to clarify my position, I don't think love is impossible, but the kind of love that is presented in movies and stories is generally more "passion" than love.
For example, people should accept that it's generally better to fall in love after the marriage rather than before. A more rational option.

My Cancer Gemini Moon friend is all about the cheesy love. I would gag if I had that type of love all the time. She found herself a sweet romantic Taurus. They have been together for YEARS!!

My guy friend that is Pisces Sun Gemini moon wants a relationship but is a bit jaded by it. He had a horrible experience with his ex and just has given up. He feels it's too much work to get to know someone only for them to not be right for you.

It seems like Pisces men can be very pessimistic about it.

must..avoid..the..lure..of..the..fishing..net.

This is EXACTLY what I'm feeling right now, word for word what I told a guy friend(who introduced us)last night.m I also have a Gem moon.

But crap..I really REALLY like this girl. The more I get to know her the more I like about her.

It has been said that Pisces can be attracted and attractive to all signs but that true compatibility is hard to find. I honestly don't think it's sign specific. From what I've seen in real life is that it's very very important for Pisces to be discriminating when offering their heart. So many take advantage and worst of all, especially negative lovers or lovers who dismiss the best Pisces traits can change a wonderful soul in the worst possible ways.

Perhaps 'not believing' for you is actually part of the 12th sign undoing. Undoing what love looks like so eventually you can build it back up or re-do it better in future. Idk. Just reading up on 12th house as the house of undoing and find it fascinating. Feel free to ignore. 🙂

I'm certainly not opposed to it, or turned off by it..I feel like if I found a great woman, I coulf see myself falling in love, and it would probably be euphoric.

After the last girl, I'm ready to give my heart to someone else..but it's bruised, like it's in a 5 month recovery program after a brutal 12 rounderwith Manny Pacquiao. I've been going at a snails pace with this new girl, which I'm fine with..but I feel like this last girl took 70% of my confidence with her when she left, and I have no idea what I'm doing right now..or when I'll know the right time to step it up.

This girl is without a doubt, worth pursuing..but is it worth potentially going through what I went through previously? I can't seem to get out of this mindset.

I think I might be getting to that point for the first time ever

It's a shitty place for sure.

Yea I'm at a stage where love is not something I find achievable ... Do I think about it "Yes"... Do I want it "Surre".. Do I think I'll get it "Hell-2-The-No!" ... Lol

Dating an earth ir air sign will do that to ya lol

I grew up watching my Cap dad and Aqua mom be in endless love! Bless them! So I was raised to believe in love. The old school love 🙂 But all I have experienced so far in my life has been a nightmare! So partly yes, Im losing hope in love. Its sad.

I have aquarius rising and in venus - I am definitely a little more distant and can detach easily if someone crosses me. I have Scorpio moon, so it's a strange mix of intense emotions and detachment. I make myself nuts!

Getting to know this Cancer girl is seemingly taking me further and further away from all this love shit..

Why does it always seem like the people we think would be perfect for us, are always hung up on an ex or just completely unavailable..

Ugh.

Love is a journey. What you give off is what you get back...
