If a Scorpio is gushy gushy before being completely devoted and in a committed relationship, I'd take that with a grain of salt. Not that they don't feel gushy gushy just that it doesn't mean the feelings run deep yet. If you are in the middle part and a Scorpio actually tells you that they love you in a very serious manner, that means they have hit the vulnerable part where they are getting deep feelings but still know they can be hurt. An I love you in the deepening phase probably means they love you past the depth of their soul and they are attaching. If you get a few of these during the attachment phase, don't take that for granted or make light of it. That will hurt deeply. When you are both devoted and in a committed relationship and the Scorp is feeling secure, the gushy, gushy will probably reveal itself again. From what I've seen.

True for me

The less I say the more I want to eat your heart out, I only say things if forced at gun point but even then it's the watered down version of my feelings

Lol
So are you more prone to being vocal before your feelings get involved?

click to expand

Well from experience of my own behaviour I'd say I'd be more complimentary and flattering to the person just be it flirting but once I'm in the zone I might hold back ALOT
I have many placements in libra though so I don't know if that affects how disconnected I can be.

But once I trust though I will be more forthcoming with my feelings
I never fully trust anyone though and I mean no one I don't even fully trust myself if I'm honest.

It's all about fear for me the thought I'm losing my control to the other person and that scares the shit outta me

I guess it depends on where you are in life. I've gone in Gush from day one and its worked out but then ultimately failed over time. An initial gush followed by a period of contemplation and decision making seems to work better for me, but might not work for the other person. Personally, I don't see how it hurts to make sure the gush isn't blinding you to the reality of the situation. Shrug.

Scorpio is a water sign. Gush at one point is a given. All I'm saying.

I guess depending on placements etc...and length of time of relationship, trust, devotion etc..they can be gushy gushy. I have endless framed poems, handmade gifts, heartfelt cards and was told how much he loved me several times a day. It was like...wow, what ever did I do to deserve this man. But his actions spoke volumes. This man spent almost everyday of his life thinking of things to make me happy and make my life easier...things that sometimes go unnoticed but none the less are so thoughtful. ♡♡♡♡
This is a good point. The words might not be gushing but the actions will.

My Scorpio was constantly spilling his emotions to me. When he would drink he would announce to whoever would listen to him how much he loved me, how beautiful I was, etc. Sometimes he would even get teary eyed talking about it. So in my experience, this isn't the case at all.

Awww my sappy Scorpio...minus his raging drinking problem, I quite miss that son of a bitch.

I understand what your saying. Some water signs lead off emotional highs.

But isn't all falling in love always blinding to reality to some extent? No soul on the planet feels as inspirational, bright and captivating as the object of your love the first second you realize you're falling in love. Reality is always there, but the cocktail of emotional newness, sex/sexual drives and relational possibilities just make you forget for a moment. Reality is consistent in that it won't go, but the falling sensation will ebb and flow.

Mainly why I gush when it comes. To me it memorializes that moment for better or worse.

Gush is good.

I would always be suspect if anyone was gushy early on.
I know actions speak louder than words, but words are good to hear too.

Y'all suck. I'm a gushy ass motherfucker damnit! Whenever I feel like it, whether it be two days in or a year. Idgaf if I feel it, I'll let you know when it hits me normally with a poem or speech of some sort lol. The timing has no reflection on the depth of my feelings. My scorp is different. He is self admittedly terrible with words and expressing himself. He says I love you a lot, but romantic gestures and words are just not his relationship skill set. He expresses love with practicality.

So stick both of us on either end of the spectrum and there you have it, two scorps with totally different expression styles ha.
Practically love can be easy to overlook sometimes.

I think it may depend on if they're more Mars influenced, or more Plutonian. I've dealt with both, and the more Plutonian Scorps brooded with their feelings silently. There were much more about action, gazing and staring at the object of their affection. I actually love that lol I love gushy types as well, but Scorpio brooding can be quite alluring.

I do that. I mostly deal with my emotions internally, silently. If Im in love with you, trust me, itll show in my eyes and actions. I rarely say I love you. When I do, its usually because I realize that some people have to hear it to believe it, but Id rather not.

I was never the romantic type until I was! That's how I knew it was it. I was moved to write poems, compose CDs music even a lover letter. I with held from giving it to him cuz I thought it be too much . After years I finally emailed him a piano song I composed from scratch at that point I didn't care if I'd be reciprocated but was a gift that he will have n know that at least he was loved truly , once. N then I mailed him my last love letter. It took me four years to get to this point. But that was because it was off n on
I'm sure if thing were secure I would have done it early on.
How quickly did you know?

At first sight that's why I held back. I mean even for my pratical me how could I! Lol met him the day of his birthday. I felt I was the universes gift to him lol
Anywho we date n broke up but following year we got together a month prior to his birthday. I wanted to gift him a cd of all the song we had emailed each other when together n songs I listened while we were apart but I felt it bee too much n scare him of.
I gifted him his favorite cigars, took him to jazz club n a night that started while he was driving. 👹

Then we broke up months later.
N so he returned a couple times in an obvious cycle of off n on. The last years I just decided I would no longer withhold.

Never had the at first sight experience either. Sound slide you put alot of thought into what you did do for him, even the stuff not given.

Agree...I don't tell you how much you mean to me or how much I love you blah blah blah. It's difficult for me to talk about and seems superficial to a certain extent. I'd much prefer to show you with my actions. If you mean the world to me you will know it because I'll cook for you, buy you gifts, do something nice for you, send you cards or letters for no reason at all etc. But verbally telling you? Not so much.
If they asked, would you admit it?

Umm yes and no? I remember my dad saying it off and on growing up, even now. My mom, Im not sure I remember her ever saying "I love you", though Im sure she has. She usually says it in a more possessive way like "I love my (my nickname)". Between siblings, no. But there was a point where I became angry with my parents and held a grudge, so I think its partially my personality, partially relationship issues. Im still working on forgiving them, but as of now, an "I love You" or a "Love You" from a family member gets a flat "Mhm" in return.
Now Im at a point where I understand myself and my feelings better and realize that Ive always been a person that needs to be shown love to feel loved. Growing up, I had friends who I loved that hurt me many times after saying they loved me, yet I kept holding on because I truely loved them. It's only recently that Ive begun to try to let go and it hurts. I have no one else but I cant keep dealing with partial relationships. They drive me crazy.

I understand that...hard to let go of one's you love, even if it is one way or not being given in the same amount.

One scorp I know said he can't even remember his family saying I love you. He got married and had to get used to saying it. Now that he is he says it to the whole family.

I'm a Scorpio with Scorpio Venus. I've expressed my feelings verbally to people I care about. I'm not gushy about it, I express it simply ("I care about you", "I love you"). They aren't left doubting how I feel.

I will also compliment people I care about a lot - always sincerely.

I have initiated expressing such feelings (I've been the first one to do so in the relationship), but only after I know the person well and I feel that it's likely that they care about me too.

Or, I have told people how I feel about them if I am unsure about their feelings for me but I can't bare holding my feelings in any more. Usually when I take that risk I don't use the word "love" and instead I say I "care a lot" about them or similar.

More often I show my caring by trying to be helpful, doing random acts of kindness including giving them things that, to the best of my knowledge, they will appreciate (including homemade baked goods), and offering emotional support if they need it. No one seems to have misread me with that, they understand that I'm expressing positive feelings about them.

Simple is good. Sounds like whoever you care about is lucky since you seem to put thought and effort in. Actually taking the time instead of just doing something cookie cutter.

Well I believe I'm both. I'm very quick to fall. Within the first few hours of meeting someone, I already have the wedding planned out, how many kids we'll have, their names etc....the whole nine yards. But I know that's the dreamer side of me talking and not the logical side. I do build up walls upon walls upon walls though too. Even though I may fall hard for someone, they will never know this unless they give me some kind of signal or green light. I'm very closed off and have a very difficult time letting people in. I have to trust you 100% . Even if/when I finally get to this point, if you do me wrong I just end up adding another wall for the next person to try and get through. This is probably why I haven't had very many relationships or at least successful ones for that matter. I've been told I need to learn to open up and express my feelings and emotions more. Easier said than done.

It is easier said than done. It took me years to even finally get to a point where I have no guard or, shall I say limited, and in reality, probably the only time in my life.

. You'll rarely get to hear just how much you mean to a Scorpio partner, but you can bet that, the less you hear, the deeper his love.
IMO, the statement as it stands...it's ground for massive delusion from people who like Scorpios and are pining over unrequited love.

I would ammend it as "You might not hear it often but you'll know", taking the whole "but you can bet that" out of it.

Sometimes the less you hear, the more they are engaged in not giving a fuck about you...and this just promotes false hope in people.

That's why I posted it.I thought it was contradictory. I am a vocal person though and when I do say it it is genuine. So, if I don't hear it from someone, sometimes I question their actions: Are they doing things just to be nice or do they really care?

Doesn't have to be contradictory...Scorps are not the most expressive people (verbally that is)

But neither it should be taken in absolutes.

Sometimes if someone does not express something verbally, there isn't anything to express. The reality is unless something is expressed...we're all just going off on assumptions.

Other times, even if there is something to express...it gets expressed in another way. Or there is an impediment to express it, which could also be a valid option.

Other times, even if there is something to express...it gets expressed in another way. Or there is an impediment to express it, which could also be a valid option.

true. sometimes those other ways can be overlooked unfortunately.

I'm a Scorpio with Scorpio Venus. I've expressed my feelings verbally to people I care about. I'm not gushy about it, I express it simply ("I care about you", "I love you"). They aren't left doubting how I feel.

I will also compliment people I care about a lot - always sincerely.

I have initiated expressing such feelings (I've been the first one to do so in the relationship), but only after I know the person well and I feel that it's likely that they care about me too.

Or, I have told people how I feel about them if I am unsure about their feelings for me but I can't bare holding my feelings in any more. Usually when I take that risk I don't use the word "love" and instead I say I "care a lot" about them or similar.

More often I show my caring by trying to be helpful, doing random acts of kindness including giving them things that, to the best of my knowledge, they will appreciate (including homemade baked goods), and offering emotional support if they need it. No one seems to have misread me with that, they understand that I'm expressing positive feelings about them.
Simple is good. Sounds like whoever you care about is lucky since you seem to put thought and effort in. Actually taking the time instead of just doing something cookie cutter.

Thank you!

I really like to do things that are personal - what the person really need/wants. I pay a lot of attention to information they share that might help me figure that out. I will directly ask them if I'm unsure. I enjoy learning about people I care about that way.

I think that cooking for someone to show caring can be ideal (if you like to cook) because people usually have favourite foods/dishes that make them happy so that can be a simple and nice way to make them feel appreciated.

I am a Scorpio woman and with me I pretty much tell people how I feel about them UNLESS i am worried they don't feel the same.

By contract the guy I am dating is a Scorp too and he gives away nothing. When he liked me a little bit he was very verbal and said what he thought and when he started to like me more he went more quiet and guarded but he does expect me to just know he cares.

. You'll rarely get to hear just how much you mean to a Scorpio partner, but you can bet that, the less you hear, the deeper his love.

what about once in 16 years?

well, I never asked him cause I didn't care to force anything.

also moon square venus may have difficulty to know if they love back.

I said/emailed it once too. (prior to him) I guess only once. but we could say twice to be safe.

also maybe he said it cause he wanted to keep me in a place where I was the farthest from him. emotionally. maybe Scorpios notice when you are very far from them. in a not physical manner.

uh not in my case with my husband.

very loving but sparse with his words but very very loving and says love you sparingly. but his actions show alot.

If a man gives you his world, no matter the sun/moon venus square moon mars whatever, he loves you to the star, moon and back.

I guess it depends on where you are in life. I've gone in Gush from day one and its worked out but then ultimately failed over time. An initial gush followed by a period of contemplation and decision making seems to work better for me, but might not work for the other person. Personally, I don't see how it hurts to make sure the gush isn't blinding you to the reality of the situation. Shrug.

Scorpio is a water sign. Gush at one point is a given. All I'm saying.
Ok. However, the your all about someone and then back off can give mixed signals

If by mixed signals, I am taking it that at one point you felt sure and then the pull back left you feeling unsure, correct? Did you ever get the pulled back in? If not, then perhaps the pull back was met with a decision that you aren't the one. I'd need to know what was happening around the mixed feelings period. Were their less verbal affirmations for a period but the actions were consistent or did all just seem to fall apart?

What happened? 🙂

I think aspects really come into play with this. I was poking through all my scorpio charts saved on my astro.com account after reading this thread.

Scorpios that don't say I love you soon/often often had a lot of squares.

Scorpios that say it often and with ease had a lot of trines/sextiles.

Scorpios that blow hot/cold with the issue had a lot of oppositions.

Ones that had strong conjunctions tended toward whatever their other dominant aspects were. Conjunct + trine/sextile = somewhat reserved but still open once intimate. Conjunct + square = very reserved but not as much as square dominant.

A lot of the scorps I know have cradle formations in their chart too. Very consistent yet not all the verbose in love.
Would you mind checking this one out?

Oh, I don't think he is interested in me. I think he may have been for a brief moment. We don't live close, so spending time is hard. Plus, we both go to school and work full time. I have a child and my schedule is way more consistent than his.
We talked and he said he is too selfish and has too much personal stuff going on. I had mentioned that I thought I bored him and he just laughed and told me he is just really busy. I still want to be friends with him though. I like him alot, but I am not waiting to see if things would change because , in all honesty, I really doubt it. I like his personality.
