Scorpio men out there !!

Cry for help!!

I met this guy at work 1.5 years ago, out of which we've been quite close for the last 6 months. By close I mean that the guy asked my number, took me out for drinks, then a dinner. Always covered the bills and walked me home. Sometimes he asked if I needed a ride to the office and came to pick me up, if so. Always was there to help me, if I needed (personally and professionally). Invited me once to his place for a champagne but then ordered a taxi and sent me home just with a hug.

All this is backed with deep personal discussions and great emotional connection; yet, zero intimate moves from his side. Not even a kiss! Yesterday he called me after work, invited to his place for champagne, we watched movies all night long feeling super cozy and at ease with each other. He didn't do any moves again, so I invited myself to sit close to him, leaning on his shoulder and eventually fell asleep there. We finished movies at 3am, so he suggested I stay over... in the guest room. All this time he was super sweet and carrying, making sure I felt good. In the morning we went together to the grocery store, came back, ate breakfast and then I left. With two kisses on the cheeks and one big hug... WTF is that—

I'm female scorpio but I'm commenting as this is similar to two male Scorpios I've dated and also another scorpio guy I worked with. I found they don't initiate or take the lead (in the way you might want them to) because they are not 100% convinced they want you (they might be unsure of you or they might not be ready or something else that may not be anything to do with you/about you). They can be happy to sit and wait or let you come to them which is a bit lazy.

What do you want?

This guy is showing you a level of interest. Its friendly. He's not jumping you. Are you interested in him because he's been showing you interest? Did you like him before or have you grown to like him more over three last few months?

I think you need to be clear with what you want and want to happen. You work together so I'm not sure if this might be a problem for either of you or your employer.

Hopefully some Scorp guys will comment for you.

what's his Venus & Mars and moon/ mercury?



i find there are different types. The ones with Air Mars in my experience, and have heard, sit back...

Like they "weigh" things.

also afraid of initializing in case .......



i dont have any experience with Earth Mars men.... Only Air, Water and Fire mars...

on Water sun.



They have been close for 6months and no progress screams beard from any sign standpoint. Maybe not sex but things would seem to be increased.

Him being a Scorpio male I can imagine he may consider you as gf material, so he's mindfucking himself to see if you fit the task.

Scorps are insecure that way šŸ™‚


enfant_terrible, indeed, I also thought about some potential insecurities or fears of rejection. But then he is fully secure to call me and invite to his place or stay with me on the phone for one hour speaking about everything and nothing (I don't speak that long with my parents!)... I really don't get it.

What's my role in that? Sit and wait when he is done with his "mindfucking process"?

He’s unsure. Scorpio men get a bad rep for being overly sexual but are also very emotional so may just be ā€œtesting the watersā€ as they say. They’re also anxious creatures (some). Make a move. See what happens. Some guys like to know your just as into them as they’re into you.


Cappadonna, thanks for your message! Probably that's the only option left - to make a physical move, as verbally I say it all the time how much I value him and like spending time with him.

And then again, when we watched movies all night long, I was the one moving closer and closer, leaning on him and putting my head on his belly - I obviously don't consider him just as a pillow-replacement šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚ why it's always so complicated!!

ā˜ļø What she said. Find out his birth chart, and where his mars is. Also, keep in mind this may be an indication of how he approaches heavier ā€œtasksā€. Do you like a man who takes the lead in this department? If so this may not be your guy. Or just give it another go round and see what happens. Try canoodling closer to his face and see if he goes in for the kiss. I personally wouldn’t like a guy that doesn’t take the lead here. It would make me feel like I’m sexually undesirable.

Keep being a friend. Eventually he will come around...5 years maybe...or drop the clothes and end this torture!

One way or another...

Are you a Scorpio expert?


Yep! No...I am serious. I am...and also a Scorpio whisperer...


I’ll call you master yoda,

You don’t have to...

It wouldn’t do anyone any good.

I don’t even know what ya heck is that! You better think of your actions next time you together.

What I’ll tell you is that he can keep it up until there is no actual sex forever...he is living joy in suffering.

I don’t see him being able to reject you because he is boiling on low...

Your move - he is done!

THEN depends on sex - I’ll tell you the rest...

Omg this is rubbish. Clearly he isn’t a proper guy.. maybe he’s a virgin.. I dunno. How old is he? Maybe he has bad ED, or anxiety? But I think you would notice if he was nervous, and he doesn’t sound nervous.

You cannot be friend zoned, no friend guy buys champagne and watches movies, unless he’s interested. Maybe it’s just been a really long time since he’s had sex. Have you met any of his friends, are they normal guys? Cos normal guys would tell him to make a move.

Hmmz one of my friends went out with a grandad and she told him she wants babies, and she went round to his house and he did this to her.. you haven’t said you want babies have you? And he’s not a grandad? Lol I’m confused with this one.

Far from desperate I just don't know how this can be done in a relationship unless celibacy was involved. Past 3 months and fluids are being exchanged or friend zoning Is in effect.


Posted by Lala1393

I think he's friendzoned you.



Scorps are usually very direct.

He will loose interest in you if you continue to do what you are doing, give him a little push time to time, scorpio love challenges, mystery also scorpio love strong woman who can take care of themselves one reason could be that scorpio are kinda introverts and want their solitude. He is just showing that he is into you it will not stay longer if you let him discover all of youšŸ™‚ keep some part of you of your life private.Now the famous thing about scorpio is their intensity that we simply scared to show everyone coz we have no idea how people going to react but if you can show him you can take it, He will show you what lay beyond the walls, remember of scorpio sting if he sense any sign of negativity from you he will strike sadly not on your face!. if you want to keep him forever tell him time to time how valuable his existence in your life matter to you and you will have someone who will do ANYTHING just to see you happy and smiling... i think i have shared too much about scorpions.

Okay, as a Scorpio I can tell you: we act that way when we value your presence in our lives so much that we'd rather continue in the platonic dating than risk you not feeling the same way as us. I've been platonically dating someone for the last 10 months, never making a move, because I like the guy way too much to lose him as a friend if he doesn't feel the same way (and I'm almost positive he does feel the same way). If he's acting that way, he feels about you DEEPLY, and desperately doesn't want to screw things up with you. As for Scorpios being astute? Yeah we are, hugely. He probably knows in his heart of hearts that you like him a lot, but does that shut up the little voice in the back of our heads that tells us what we're risking if we're wrong? No, it doesn't. If anything, it amplifies it. The stakes are too high.

It sounds like he's biding his time, hoping something eventually happens, but is also terrified that something WILL happen.

Look at his mars and his venus, too. He sounds very much like a Virgo guy I'm seeing who has his venus in Virgo and his mars in Libra. Venus in Virgo (for example) would seriously slow down any attempts to jump you, even if he's as Scorpio-male as they come. He'll be ceaselessly weighing up the pros and cons of any relationship with you, obsessing over his worthiness to be with you, and completely paranoid that you don't feel the same, no matter how obvious you think you've been. The mars in Libra in him acts to stymie any tendency towards action. It just backs up the weighing of pros and cons, completely negating the ability to move things forward.

Just a thought. It could be something like that that's holding him back.

It sounds like he's taking you so seriously that he's putting "doing things right" with you above all else in importance in his mind. That's a good thing. Really.
