Hello Scorps! I don't think I've ever made a topic here before but here it goes...

My Scorpio Aunt is a profound person. She is one of those old world, un-jaded, optimistic, spiritual and incredibly loyal types of Scorpio...

Anyway, she's got her eyes set on this older Sag gentlemen. I finally met him last night at this event and it worries me how they interacted with each other. She kept bringing up future plans and asking him what he thought. Or she used me as a buffer to get his thoughts on future plans. For instance she asked, "Rose do you think we are long-term good?" And then looked at him and asked "What do you think she'll say?" *laughs* and kept prodding him until he answered. When he answered, she dissected his answer and pushed him to explain more. I literally didn't even get to say anything. That's basically how the whole night played out...Her directly or indirectly asking him about "them" and then prodding him to explain more.

That's not what worries me though, what worries me is the way he responded to her. Mostly his body language, and how evasive he was or even how he belittled or laughed off her affections. This could easily be because of my presence, I get that. Her prodding was severe and forceful and she watched him like a hawk. But she didn't seem concerned with how hesitant and evasive he was behaving. Her dissection of his answers were more so about getting him to cement a timeframe for... marriage? I don't know. She seemed laser focused on getting him to actually declare a timeframe. But I felt like she didn't even care about dissecting his demeanor. No questions of "why did you answer it like that?" She just focused on the words.

She dissected his answers but didn't seem to dissect his behavior. It was almost like she wasn't even paying attention. I felt like she wasn't reading in between the lines, like she was taking him too literally. This bothers me. I mean I always read in between the lines and this guy was practically SCREAMING I'm not that into you! Another thing is this guy is American and my Aunt wasn't raised here so she has these old world values that are very different from American values. It scares me that she is taking this guy so literally and not considering body language and passive behavior!

So I'm wondering do Scorpios have a tendency to not see signs or ignore signs that someone may not be into them and just keep pushing on because they care more about getting what they want?

What if someone is clearly uncomfortable? Do you not see it? Do you not care?

Do you put more stock in words than body language?

And most importantly, Do you ever consider that the person may be telling you what you want to hear, just to get you to back off?
