Can you make sense............

of this. I dated a libra for four years on and off. He would cease contact with me if we were getting to close(his words) and he knew how i felt about him. After a few times of this I would date other people in between our break-ups. Well the cause of my last straw ( so I thought) was him accusing me of sleeping with someone close to him (i.e. not even my character) He always insist on maintaining our friendship and he didn't believe the supposed rumor. We haven't slept together in years but he calls to hang out every now and then. I don't mind cause he's cool to be around. the problem is every now and then he'll bring the rumor up as if it's true and hang up on me. It use to get under my skin but now i laugh it off. Not true not my problem, but he'll call in a few weeks and want to be around me. Is he just hoping one day we can have sex again? If he really felt the rumor were true why be bothered with me?

"Is he just hoping one day we can have sex again?"

Yes , No and Maybe ! Are you hoping so ?

"If he really felt the rumor were true why be bothered with me?"

Because you're friends , not boyfriend and girlfriend.

"he'll bring the rumor up as if it's true and hang up on me. It use to get under my skin but now i laugh it off"

He's not respecting and trusting you .Why you are still borthered with him ? If you already explained and still he asked , does it worth to maintain this friendship ? (Unless you still hold the torch for him ....... )
Like you said it's very obvious for him to see how much you still fancy him , he may enjoy the attention you pour on him - so much fun and no commitment required .......
If you can go along and don't mind being stringing along then yes it does make sense .

Sorry if my words are abit harsh but that's just my view . Don't take it seriously . Best of luck 🙂

naw that's not harsh at all. I don't hold a flame for him but maybe I like the fact that he'll never have me again. "Real childish" thanks for the enlightment

It's actually funny WHEN I do think about it. The way this time happened; we were talking about my friend ( we're friends right) and he said I wish i had a girl like that, I said " you did" His whole mood changed . Not 15 seconds later he was like "you good ( in bed) that's what my folks said" click .............. he won't even let me respond anymore. It's really a waste of breath at the end of the day. I was really just trying to understand if his motivation was more than just hurt pride. It doesn't matter cause he'll call to hang out but as a scorpio we always look for a deeper understanding ; SUE ME

Something is wrong with the typing above - sorry !

You had an ego blow after the break ups and now you're stinging yourself with the poison in your tail .......He said what he meant - "you're good (in bed)".......It wasn't a mental game but you read into it too much .......Maybe you wanted him to feel regret and treat you right so your wound could heal ( it's some sort of sweet vengeance , isn't it!?) . However , unfortunately , it might take years , can you wait that long ?? That man can have all fun , be free to roam around without any emotional baggage and here you are , trying to be a friend but still holding some sort of hopes , some sort of hurt , some sort of expectations ........You're obsessed with your version of TRUTH but the TRUTH is already there for along time.
Let it go ...If he continues this type of abuse , you need to stand up and tell him to stop.After all , friends are there to support each other , not to hurt and insult one another 🙂
