So I’m a Taurus female seeing a Pisces man. We met 3 months ago. On the first night he was telling me about his family and friends and asked if I was going to stick around for awhile. Since then we have bonded. I told him I was a virgin, that I’ve never done the relationship thing before, and that I tend to scare guys off with that fact. He laughed and told me that he would be my first then. Over the course of 3 months, we have spoken every single day. He would text me excited to go on our dates, he would be all over me. He told me beforehand of some odd circumstances of his life which all turned out to be true even though it was bizarre. He bought me a book set for my birthday that I told him I wanted in the first month we met. We haven’t had sex yet, he said he wanted to take it slow, we do everything else though. We spice it up. We spend our days playing video games which he is adamant about including me in, we binge watch shows all day, we watch movies all day, we laugh, joke, pillow fight, etc. we talk about our goals, what we want in the future. All brought up by him. Last weekend we went on a movie date, we had drinks, food, his idea. He had surgery recently on his foot, he said he wanted to deal with the pain alone, but he invited me over for that weekend. He has a shoulder surgery coming up soon as well. Now the issue is, he started texting me back once every 4-6 hrs which has happened before once but usually it’s every 5-20 mins. He said he needed rest and that he was exhausted. This happened once before but I told him that we were both adults and that he should communicate. Now, he’s saying that he needs to recharge and that he doesn’t know how long it will take, and that he wants to be alone, and just play his games, and sleep. He told me not to get attached bc this mood comes frequent and he doesn’t want that to be taxing on me while I wait for him to come back. He told me to just enjoy the time that we have together right now after I said I missed him. He sent me long paragraphs explaining that he hasn’t lost interest but that he’s been going through this mood swing since he was a kid. He said that if he doesn’t take this break he was going to explode. I don’t know what to do, we talked about kids, trips, all things he brought up, even last time I saw him, he told me that after his final surgery we would start exercising together. I’m torn up Bc I’m not used to not seeing him or talking to him. He did add me on all social media. He watches my stories, likes my posts, but I don’t hear from him. It’s been two days, I told him I would wait and that I would give him his space. I’m planning on contacting him again on the day of his surgery next week. But I don’t know what to do. He’s a great guy and he said that he would not leave me, but I’m scared I won’t hear back from him again. What do I do? How long do I wait? What’s the right thing to say to possibly bring him back to reality? Or to make him understand that I am hear waiting for him to touch back down from the clouds. Any advise? Bc at this point it hurts not hearing his voice or even hearing from him. He says he talks to no one not even his roommate, only his two best friends. I feel deep down that he wants me there but he’s pushing me away bc he thinks it’s better for me. I think he is the one. How do I respond to this mood?

First of all, RELAX. Really. Take this time to do some things FOR YOU. Your bf has MADE IT CLEAR that he's going through the motions. RESPECT that. The LAST THING he needs is an insecure, fearful gf losing control of herself. Take this time to catch up w your homegirl, start a hobby, get involved in some social events etc. He may just be "the one" but if that's true, then he'll come back for you.

@Sweetpea2977 I’m really trying but I guess it’s the overthinking I have tend to do. But it’s like, it’s only been 3 months, we’ve gotten very comfortable, but I’m not used to being pushed away. I’m completely understanding of him. I have told him this. Your right, I feel like I have lost control. And that terrifies me. But your right. I was planning to text him good luck on his surgery and remind of the choice he gave me to keep enjoying what we have now instead of stressing the future. That way he’s had a week of space from me as well. Good idea?

@phantom_limbo I thought so as well, but he told me he didn’t want to be rude, but that he needed this time away from the world. I asked if he was just no longer interested and he said “I just feel like my mood swings will be taxing on you, having you stressing out wondering if I’m okay or not, I just want you to enjoy the time we do have together now lol but I need this space or I’m going to explode” and that’s what he said word for word

I am not a Pisces, but I suggest dating other people instead of waiting. You may find someone who is willing to give you what you are looking for. Trust me, he is not the only one in the world that can make you feel this way. Especially since you have extremely high feelings for someone you just met 3 months ago.

Sorry, I just think it is insane to wait for someone you have only known for 3 months. Are you afraid to meet people? I've noticed as women we accept too much shit by waiting on men when they go off and screw or date who knows.

I believe people who start seeing the light once they value themselves a lot more and realize they have 100s of options. Open your eyes and see that other people want you. Of course you have to want them too, but fuck that mood swing excuse lol.

i notice they do that alot they like their space, the pisces i'm talking to is the same way (he says he just wants to be alone sometimes). But its better this way, to slowly build attraction rather than burning out all together. seeing someone/talking someone everyday can be taxing.


If you're compatible with someone seeing them a lot is not taxing.

i suppose you're right,

but i do think it all depends on the person too

@piscoxx I guess your right. He did say that he felt that speaking to people drained him except for two people. He said that he wish he would have met me when he was healthy. So I guess my question to you is he said “just enjoy the time we do have together now and don’t stress out.” He was brutally honest about everything else, why not just say it about this too? Especially when I asked if he’d lost interest. It’s just crazy to me that everything was fine 2 days ago. He woke me up to tell me about things we were going to do in the future.

@Loyal get your ass in here and help.

You would tag me lol. Summarize it for me then I'll help.


Seriously 😑 !

Taurus gal meets Pisces dude.

Dating three months.

She is a virgin and never really had a "real relationship" before.

Things get hot and heavy. They text and talk everyday. They become really close.

He has a couple of medical issues and tells OP that he wants to recoup alone.

He starts backing off and communication from his end starts to dwindle.

He told her not to get too attached, because he gets these "need to be alone times" often.

She is worried she may lose him. He is pushing her away.

What should she do?

Being nosy is no fun anymore now is it? Lol

No she won't losing him. One thing about is if we are going through something we want to go through by ourselves.

What should she do? Relax and know he'll return to her once he resolves his issue

Okay. Thank you. That is some relief. How long should I wait to hear back? I told him to relax and that I was going to be hear and that he should talk to me when he’s done with his recharge. He has surgery on the 4th and I was going to text him “you gave me the choice to stay and I chose to, hmu. And good luck on your surgery” is that okay? That would be about of week of space.

I'm Taurus too and I'm just out of a "relationship" with a Pisces.

My advice: don't wait for him or be too available. You can send him a text the day he's having his surgery but try not to focus too much on the outcome. I know this is hard but you panicking at this point is not good.

Go see some friends, family, do new things. Try to do things that you find fun and interesting on your own or with other people. If he does return to you, you'll be in a much better energy AND mood than if you just keep stressing about whether he's coming back or not.

I'm not trying to be harsh here, and I do think that when you have a connection with somebody it doesn't matter how long you've known them BUT you met 3 months ago. You already think he's the one and I think that's putting a lot of pressure on the relationship. I'm not saying he isn't (maybe yes, maybe not) BUT (again) putting this much pressure on you and him this early on can't be good.

Recenter, relax, make plans like you did before you met him, keep your distance but be loving through your text.

@loyal I was asking that he has surgery on the 4th. The 4th would be about a weeks worth of space from eachother. I’m asking should I text him on the 4th and say “you know you gave me the option to stay and I chose to. So hmu. And good luck on your surgery” or should I just keep it simple. I want him to know that I’m here, that he can trust me, and that he shouldn’t push me away.

Thanks. I’m good at hiding emotions so around him I’m just chill. So he doesn’t know I think this way. I feel like he feels the same bc we’ve gone moments where he’s sent me long paragraphs about how much he loves being around me and my aura. We would stare into each others eyes and just laugh. And that was a few days ago. I feel like I annoyed him when he told me to stop moving around so much and I knocked tequila all over his lap top. I’ve caught him just staring at me and smiling. Watching me in my sleep, kissing my forehead, I just don’t want him to let these feelings go in a way to push me away. You know?

Yeah, I'm not saying you should mute your emotions. I'm just saying you should find a way to stop putting pressure on the relationship.

By reading you I can sense your stress, I have been on both sides of this and I can tell you *it shows*.

Things going too quick too fast can just crumble as fast. Take time to breathe, for your sake and the relationship. See it like a living creature that you have to nurture, don't smother it. Invest as much as what is invested and respect his need for space. I feel like he communicated pretty well his needs. Him being distant right now doesn't cancel out the good times you had, you can still think about them fondly. Relationships take time and you need strong foundations.

Cultivate your individuality and I swear to you you'll feel better.

I don't think that's it, no. And if it is, then that's just another reason for you to take a big breath and let him come to you whenever he feels like it. If he doesn't want to talk to you again because of that, you didn't lose much.

The fact that it's your first relationship means you'll probably make mistakes, as we all did and still do (believe me). I really do hope it works out for you though (and please update 😉) but sometimes you just need to step back a little to gain perspective and actually let the lessons sink in.

I don't think you have anything to worry about actually, it's only a little self-work that needs to be done here.

@neptunelover UPDATE. So I messaged him weds saying “good luck on his surgery and to hmu when he wants to hang out” he messaged back saying “thank you” and then started texting me as usual like when we first met like nothing happened. Like it was just a small break I guess. At first he was saying I was the right person and it was the wrong time in his life. But it seems likes it’s a complete 180 now. He invited me over to stay from weds to Friday. We just watched movies, as it was day 2 recovery. But he was very touchy, talkative, and had me in his arms every 5 secs. I guess he missed me. When I left for work this morning, he didn’t mention the stack of my stuff I left at his place, which he always made sure I take before. I don’t know where we are still, I’m just taking it a day at a time though. Ps. I made a fake page, asking him for answers and understanding but as another person. He answered the questions as I told him I was attached, how you can’t just push ppl away, how I’ve been so panicked and anxious. He told “me” to just keep trying or let the person go if they continue to push me away, and that he was going thru the same in his situation and that it was right person wrong time, but that he was trying. I feel like he knew it was me, so I don’t know if we are at a new place, or still in the same old one.

@canceraquasagg I’m 99% sure he knew it was me bc I made it obvious, and he was responding w responses that was about our situation and not what I was asking from said page. He even said a inside joke if you will that only we would understand. So I’m positive. The page wasn’t being sneaky. I just messaged him telling him how I felt from my POV and how “his” actions and the lack of understanding made me feel. That’s when he messaged me on fb a few hours later.

Now the issue is, he started texting me back once every 4-6 hrs which has happened before once but usually it’s every 5-20 mins. He said he needed rest and that he was exhausted.

This happened once before but I told him that we were both adults and that he should communicate.

Wow I can't believe no one has addressed this in the thread yet.

Your freaking out that he isn't texting back immediately. Adjust your expectations. Because no one can keep up this kind of constant communication. 4-6 hours is typical. People are busy throughout the day.

He tried to express this to you and you shut him down and ran him over with your 'we're both adults' lecture. No wonder he is fading to black.

There is no compromise with you. Its just what you want. No consideration for him. No meeting him in the middle.

Thats supremely unattractive and kills a relationship if your not willing to compromise and give a little. Its also very unrealistic.

@ladyneptune of course it would be different if he was saying, we don’t have to talk that often. Ok I get it, honeymoon stage has dulled down. My “were adults” comment wasn’t to the fact that we weren’t communicating often, it was that he wasn’t communicating his thoughts. Saying “I need some space, bc I feel like we’re always around eachother” is different from “I need space. Thanks for understanding.” And then no more response. He did the second. So naturally I’m at a point where “did he just dump me or does he just need space for a different reason?” He’s not very good at communicating, he holds everything in until he’s ready to explode. Which I told him, he catches me off guard bc I never know there’s a problem until he’s about ready to explode completely. Which is what he has done recently. He’s back now, he normal now, and we have a normal communicating pace for now. And he’s on leave for injury. He has been for the last two months and will be on for the next few weeks. He plays games all day while recovering. But I understand that people just get mentally busy as well

Except he is communicating with you. Clearly.

You just don't like what he's saying.
Posted by Taurus619He said he needed rest and that he was exhausted.

Now, he’s saying that he needs to recharge and that he doesn’t know how long it will take, and that he wants to be alone, and just play his games, and sleep. He told me not to get attached bc this mood comes frequent and he doesn’t want that to be taxing on me while I wait for him to come back. He told me to just enjoy the time that we have together right now after I said I missed him. He sent me long paragraphs explaining that he hasn’t lost interest but that he’s been going through this mood swing since he was a kid. He said that if he doesn’t take this break he was going to explode.

With mutables the best thing to do is allow us to have our space when we ask for it. Sending a 'thinking of you' and 'hope things are well' text (or something of that nature) is fine. But don't expect a response back immediately. Especially after he's communicated that he needs a break.

It comes off as demanding, needy, and unfeeling when he literally just told you whats up and why he is not responding.

If you can respect his need for a break and be chill about it he will come back 2xs as strong with the communication. Trust me on this one.

Hello, I’m here because I feel like people are giving you genuine advice but I just wanna say, I hope you’re okay. My first love burned very hit, very quickly and then fizzled away. It was short, but hurt the most.

My advice? I’d wait, but be honest. My best friend(s) are Pisces, and he says he wants to be alone I used to allow that, but I’d let him know that I was outside, waiting for him and that it’s okay to be sad and that I loved him and didn’t judge him. I was HONEST about everything. Pisces are sweethearts at nature and love to be loved, even if they do find it scary.

Do I think you should tell him this?mmmmm no. I do however think you should show your considerate side, your romantic side. Don’t just give up and go quiet! Message him before his surgery, “hello, I know you want your space, but I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking about you, and I’m here if you need me. Good luck” (not word for word but I hope you get what I mean) and then message after like “hope recovery is going well, again you don’t need to reply but my thoughts are with you” yadayada.

However, something I can say to, I’ve been speaking to a Pisces man, and he stopped messaging me after a while, and we didn’t talk for a good few weeks, and then I messaged him again and he was like “yes!hello, long time!” And shabam we’ve been talking near none stop since. So go with what feels right.
