Not sure by instant relationships but I’ve met a Gemini man couple of years ago. I’d block him on and off because I was in a relationship and he was pushy for sex. So I unblocked him recently because things weren’t going so hot with Leo and I was bored, being Gemini myself.

Omg, this guy wanted to order a pizza to my house when I said I wasn’t feeling well 🤦‍♀️

Then he proceeded to shower me with thousand love gifs, online emojis of flowers and hearts, phone calls and text messages. He wanted to be there for me while I go through my own relationship problems. He is also only 29. A nerd, works in software company. It may not be that young but much younger than me.

I avoid him now and he sends me 😢 emoji every day...

I am speechless. I have no explanation for this behavior. It’s a bit desperate even if it’s sex only.

Ha this one didn’t get that far. Tried to force me into a relationship .. after 2 dates and well you know I’m a Saggie.. 🤷‍♀️ He showers me with I love you shit after the day I met him. And I’m like what is that—?! 😂

Yes. No.

Sounds great for some awesome couch-breaking sex, bad for the heart, lol! 😆

Lol yeah. This didn’t even get to the sex 😳 it could’ve been so good if he hadn’t tried to force instant relationship & love bomb me 😂😂

Here's a real good question you should ask yourself after going through that: if he were to approach you again in a much more subdued mindset, would you entertain that person again?

He tried. But I already saw the crazy. I mean he went off the deep end. I said nope. Because he showed me who he was already. I think I’ll believe it the first time, especially with what I know about his history.

Wtf?? He doesn’t even know you!

What is this poor souls sign? How old is he? Is he from this culture?

I’m just trying to find any logical explanation for this 🤔

No it never worked on me. Always made me raise my guard and get wary.

You don't know me, I don't know you. I have cheese in my fridge 10xs older than our 'relationship'.

But I'm supposed to believe after one look and a handful of conversations you know beyond a doubt that I'm the-one-for-you. Smh suspect.

Makes me question if its that easy for you to "fall in love" it'll be just as easy for you to fall out of love and onto the next.

Idk if its my slow moving Capricorn parts or my flighty Pisces sun, but coming on too hard at the beginning dries me out like no other.

yeah cap sun/pisces moon and i lovebombed each other

we're celebrating our first anniversary this weekend

Lol I’ve seen some people do it on Facebook. I have a problem with this sort of thing because I don’t see it as real. Takes me awhile to say I love you, cuz I don’t til it’s real. I’m surprised a Cap would do that but you are both Pisces moon 😂😂

Okay! Nobody's perfect. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know but he really flipped out when I didn’t want to post pics & change my relationship status on Facebook. Pretty much we are not going to work. He will react & I will feel like he’s trying to force me to do something. Believe me I tend to give second chances & it just never works. If I know this after 2 dates, what’s the point?

Girl, don’t believe him for one minute. That’s their modus operandi. They go allllllll in in the beginning! They are always in love with shiny new thing. It’s easy to fall for it. Because you know, you’re the best thing that happened to them 🙄

Couple of weeks, months, years in...you’ll be dealing with his issues because he can’t handle it.

Ugh

You know back in our grandparents generation im sure this was sort of normal. And most of them from that generation are all still married. While today, divorce rates are so high. Just a thought

Yes I know. But not this fast. Most of my serious relationships were pretty quick. But more it’s hey I like you, let’s date and see if this is what it seems like. It isn’t getting mad and trying to pressure you into it.

Oh don't get me wrong I agree with what you're saying, just that people of our time give up before anything even gets started so to speak. No one is willing to put the time in anymore. So whether or not you jump right in or take it slow, the end result should in theory be everlasting but its not.

Ya I agree. It’s not that I take it all that slow lol. Just I’m a little hesitant and don’t trust that love bombing stuff. I’m also cap venus/mars. So ya know, it’s only sag sun that sometimes gets excited and goes along for the ride. But not this quick.

Always trust your intuition and if you were not feeling it, there is a reason for it x
