Itsthelaw-him saying "i don't want a serious relationship" is him saying i like you lots. Now i know had troublesome it is to be giving advise/taking advise on such boards because it really can go the wrong way, like you wanting to make him jealous in thinking he doesn't care and incorrectly thinking that's how sags are and then it backfiring-not good. But if you want you can take my view on it, that he likes likes likes you, if i wasn't into a guy i wouldn't even bother with the 'serious' statement. You see behind all their 'jokerys' when it comes to the opposite sex more times than not-IT'S SERIOUS. We just play it down because it's so debilitating to actually tell ourselves it's for real i.e. to acknowledge our emotions and then feel trapped by them, it's more fun for us to pretend to ourselves that it's all fun and games, but you being a lovely Scorpio need to take the upper hand and be like well yeah this dodo likes to have a fantasy thing going on in his daft noggin but i know the script and i set the pace. To save you any trouble, i'll let you in on insider info: act like him-be mock laissez faire, when he says such rubbish to you, be like oh really? and change the subject to the weather. Keep him in check by showing him his crap is as boring as yesterdays news and you aren't going anywhere, nor are you a crazy pushy type, you don't care that he flirts or that he neglects things because eventually he'll realise his wrong ways and be grateful that you didn't let it affect your feelings and stuck it out, all the while retaining your cool. Another thing, don't try to one up this man, he is such a dumbo that even if you raced him to the end of the street he'd be like wait let me get my skates on first. You flirt with one guy, he'll have the cheerleading squad-all of them.
(i don't think i've ever written so fast)
Basically don't let him upset you because he doesn't mean it, he really doesn't. Therefore it isn't worth getting your knickers in a twist for. Wouldn't you prefer to be a cool cucumber? Unlike those wenches who actually fall for his crap and then get dumped the next day?
Calthrope, I don't know what I can ever do to repay that post, but it was GOLD. Thank you.
We were very casual and did speak about our other dates. That is why is suprised me that he got irritated that I had gone out w/ someone else. But then I started looking at the signs...bad and good. I did tell him last night that he was sending mixed signals. We talked until 1:30 a.m.
I appreciate your advice. I am going forward and plan on heeding everything you wrote. Please be available for future crisis. lol
Calthrope, I tried to take your advice to heart. His brother came over this weekend. I gave them space because I knew they wanted to take time to spend with each other. However, he showed up at my house last night. After he got really comfortable, he started telling stories from the weekend. He was trying to tell a funny story and let it slip that his brother hooked up w/ this girl that is their friend on facebook. In trying to tell this hilarious story, he let it slip that he hooked up with her friend.
Now, do I ignore that? Is he testing me? Is this a comment to see if I box him in? As soon as he said it, he looked really uncomfortable. I could tell he didn't mean to let that tadbit slip out.
Sagittarius Man The secret of the Sagittarian Archer is that he's always moving on to do something bigger, bolder and better, and if you're not part of his adventure story, you soon become history. He'll be amazingly faithful to some big idea or cause, or a guru in Nepal, but when it comes to boring old everyday living, forget fidelity. If he gives you a speech about freedom and the need for an 'open relationship' you'll know which way his wind is blowing.
Does this not tell me that I need to move on?

So Sags, how do people get your attention w/out scaring you off?
