Should I keep trying?

I recently started liking a Pisces who is 2 years younger than me. I was advised to not date him because of the age difference but I thought that he was very mature and when I have my mind made up about something (which is very had for a Libra to do...we're so indecisive) I'm not easily influenced. Well, at first it seemed as if he was really into me because he called me everyday, sent cute text messages, and wanted to see me every chance he could. We liked to go out together to socialize and party. It was obvious to everyone that we were seeing each other. His friends even told me that they thought I was good for him. All of this lasted about a month.

I know all of this sounds great and it was because that is what typically happens in the begininng of any potential relationship. The problem is that once I started expressing that I liked him and was interested in being more exclusive he became more distant. I explained to him that I was more than willing to give him time and space because I agree that we shouldn't rush things. I just wanted him to know that I wanted that in the near future. He started calling me less and eventually stopped returning my calls. The last time I called him was Sat. He didn't answer and I haven't heard from him since.

I've read alot about Libra and Pisces compatibility. I'm alway left a bit confussed by what the articles says. Sometimes I'm under the impression it is not a good match and then randomly I will read that the best long term partner for a Pisces is a Libra. So, are we are aren't we? If we are, then what happened? Did he get scared because maybe I was coming on too strong. Or was he intimidated by my age? Or maybe I wasn't understanding enough? Some of my best qualities are suppose to be the fact that I'm a good listener and I'm understanding, or so I thought?

Should I call him this weekend and act as if nothing happened and as if he didn't just randomly blow me off? Or should I just wait to see if he calls me?

Was he ever in a relationship before? He is obviously scared. It is normal with Pisces in 18. My opinion is that "No you should not keep trying".

don't do anything,sounds like the famous pisces commetment phobia setting in with him lol.They are supposedly the most flighty of the water signs when it comes to love and relationships and have a pretty bad rep. for that on this board.

Yeah...the more you ignore him, the sooner he will come back. Probably pop up out of the blue.

I have a question for you though...Are you sure you want this guy? He doesn't seem to want the same thing as you as far as relationships and that will only cause you more heartache in the future. Especially if you start really getting into him. TRUST ME!

okay,okay best way to approach it is to not harrass him but not completely cut him off either,it's only been a month so it doesn't mean anything as to say he doesn't like you or whatever.Patience and see what happens without any pressures is whats needed to happen more than anything else.You can like someone after only a month but it isn't near enough to start talking about commetment and feelings because it's still in the lust phase because you don't really know him yet.It's still supposed to be just enjoying each others company without obligations and getting to know each other,approach it that way.

"It really depends on his past. If he's been burned before, ignoring him will not make him come back. Finding out what he likes in a woman and if you fit that and want to express it, showing you are that kind of woman will work much better."

Works both way Primegen. If he is not standing for fight for his place, then he do not want it. Simple as that.

Yes, I do like him. I just tend to rush things some times so I guess I just need to take responsibility for scaring him. I'm in love with the idea of love but that mentality doesn't give me a chance to actually love anyone. I have so many preconceptions about love that I miss out on a lot of really great opportunities. This is something I need to come to terms with before I try to persue any serious relationships. All of your advice has been very helpful and I will take a little of everything you each said and apply it to this situation and future experiences I come across in my life. I'm not going to hold my breathe until he calls but I'm not going to completely blow him off either. I will give him a call in a few weeks if I don't hear from him and if things start up between us again I will keep an open mind, get to know him and just have fun. The serious stuff will just have to wait.

Thank you all!!!

That is a good point that I have never thought of. I mean I always thought the "Playing the game" thing was stupid but I have found myself doing it.

Now you make me see how stupid it REALLY is. Hmmmm Thanks
