Chased Libra ONS away for good?

Hi there!

I'm new, and posted this on the Libra forum. I'm Libra-Scorpio cusp, Venus in Virgo. A Libra male had been pursuing me, and I finally ended up out with him at a party. One thing led to another...

During our tryst, he spoke of winning me away from others that I was seeing, and asked me to dinner the next night. I agreed, and we e-mailed a bit the next day until he went silent. Dinner time was approaching, so I reached out. He replied saying that the night before had been fun, see you around ... He was not up for dinner .... I asked if he would like to just hang out later in the evening, he said "no thanks."

That night I sent him an e-mail saying sorry I had misunderstood his intentions, that it was cool and I wouldn't bother him again. He e-mailed me back asking me to lunch.
I said I would be interested if he really wanted to go, but not to sweat it if he was just asking to be nice. I also suggested that we spend time getting to know one another before taking on big issues (the fact that I'm dating others, and that he still occasionally wears his wedding band though he had been divorced for 9 years). He replied that friends would be nice, and then proceeded to ignore me again.

I sent him a text telling him off for running hot and cold on me. He ripped me a new one, saying that he doesn't check work e-mails during the day, and that I was way out of line. I apologized profusely, explained that I misread the mixed signals he seemed to be giving me and asked his forgiveness. No reply.

Is there any chance he'll be back? I just don't understand the mixed messages ... He had an out earlier, why ask me to lunch? And even if he's completely uninterested, why not at least acknowledge my apology and politely shut me down there? We occasionally run into each other on work projects, so it would have been nice to end on an amicable note.

What do you all think? Thank you...

Hi there! Thanks so much for responding. Yeah, as a LS cusp, I can get it. My ego is badly bruised, and I hope I don't have to see him again soon . . . I'm not usually such a freakshow. I'm just laying low and waiting for time to do it's magic in terms of my feeling like a complete ass and seeing this in terms of a good learning experience. Or just a fun night with a rather ridiculous denouement!
