I’ve been becoming extremelyyyy close with my childhood male friend for quite some time now. Shhhh. We’ve talked about taking each other seriously. And Boom! Just like that, now it’s months later and he asked me to start fresh with him and be his girlfriend.

I’m just sooooo scared. I don’t know, something is making me anxious, nervous and unsure. He hasn’t ever disrespected me or made me feel unsafe & neither does he have a crazy past. However, it’s just that I can’t give an answer yet because I’m being a damn wuss and afraid. How should I approach this? Any tips on dating someone you’ve know for god long. And, I’ve already let him know that I’m scared and I really don’t want to do anything to fuck up our bond.

Maybe, some helpful astrology info 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️:

HIM(L) ME(R)

Asc: Virgo; Scorpio

Sun: Scorpio; Pisces

Moon: Gemini; Aries

Mercury: Sag; Aqua

Venus: Sag; Aqua

Mars: Cancer; Leo

Jupiter: Libra; Sag

Saturn: Aqua; Pisces

I think you should take a chance.

If it doesn't work out it's up to the both of you to try to continue to friends. If you care for each other that shouldn't be a problem down the road. If one or both of you need some time to heal after that, then so be it. I'm just saying it's OK to still care about someone and not date them in the end. I'm just putting the worst case scenario out there -- that you date and it doesn't work out.

One thing that seems a little strange is that he's asking you to be his girlfriend just like that. I don't care if you know each other and are friends. It makes more sense to take things slow and date, then decide if you want it to continue in a more serious capacity.

You go on some dates, and maybe have sex eventually and see how things progress.

Have you ever even kissed? I'm thinking the first kiss will tell you a lot, assuming you want to kiss him.

If you like him, take a chance. Go on a date. See where things go. You don't have to rush things.

But...if you really don't see him that way...then just be honest with him and try to work around the awkwardness. If if you try and it's not working for you, then be honest still.

We’ve been on a few solo dates and picnics. Yes, we kissed. Yes, we crossed the sex line...and that’s another thing, I don’t want us to move too fast, but maybe we are—!! Although I am afraid, that if we don’t work out things would turn out bad between us, I do want to still give “US” a shot.

You've got 4 of my personal planets 🙂

Childhood friend, as in: we were playmates and I fancied him, and now reconnected after several decades?



Or as in: I've known him for decades, loved him like a brother, but never fancied him?

If it's the former, go for it. If it's the latter, nah....Also, listen to your gut. It knows....


Childhood friend as in, we always fancied each other & everyone always knew it. But I would treat him like a “brother” around family😩😩😩. I’m such a wuss, I swear.

This. You may miss out on a really good thing. Your charts look really compatible so why not give it a shot?

That's not fast. You know each other since childhood. If you know him well then why you worried? Are you afraid that he might lost interest? He said he loves you so I don't think he didn't think about it for quite some time, so he did reconcider failure, yet he still want to try.

Yea, it’s me. I’m just thinking too much on the “negatives” and “what if’s.”

Two important questions:

1) How has he been with his previous lovers and girlfriends?

2) How do you feel about getting involved with someone who has a Gemini moon and Sag Venus?


1) I’ve known a couple of his past lovers. One left him because of his weight. The other young lady was reconsidering her daughter father input on her love life, so she ended this with him.

2) I mean my dad has a Gemini moon, my mom is a Gemini Sun, aunt and closest coworkers are also Gem Suns.. & Gemini is my 7th and 8th house. His moon falls in my 7th house and my Jupiter conjuncts his Venus. As long as we’ve been friends he hasn’t act “two-time-ish” & he doesn’t flirt a lot BUT he does have a lot of friends (more than me)...
