Help me decode this Scorpio man's behavior!

cont ... losing my mind? This has been going on for months now.

Wait...you didn't mention ANYTHING about how you feel about him (except wanting to pursue a friendship). Do you even like this guy?

Yes! I definitely like this guy. I wouldn't waste so much energy only trying to become friends with him. I know Scorpios have their emotional guards up and like to be control of their interpersonal relationships, so I didn't want to come on super strong with him at first. This is why I am trying to keep things "friendly", so I can maybe get to know him better and let him feel comfortable/in control. He's a pretty outgoing Scorpio and he typically talks to everyone, so it's not like he's antisocial and has this small cluster of friends.

It's worth noting that he was the one that initially approached me and made it known that he was interested in talking to me. He sought me out FIRST. Why would a man bother wasting his time expressing an interest in getting to know a woman, only to avoid her? I never overtly flirted with this Scorpio or told him I liked him, either, so I'm not entirely confident that he's avoiding me because he doesn't "feel the same way" I do. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to talk to someone unless I wanted to pursue a friendship/relationship with him/her. I have plenty of friends to occupy my time with, so if I wasn't interested in being friends (or otherwise) with a person, I wouldn't make it a priority to talk to them or to seek out their company. Maybe now you can understand why I'm confused about this Scorpio.

Haha. So true. The worst parts of scorpios are the best parts.

Well, I can't say your responses surprise me ... lol. I've been reading up on Scorpio mind games for the past year now. I keep attracting these guys like bees to a honeypot, but this particular Scorpio is stuck in my mind. All the others I've let go because I had a gut feeling they were playing around or involved with another woman (which ended up right in the end), but for some reason my gut's telling me that this guy's different, even though he's effing with my mind.

It's not like I'm a complete masochist who likes to be walked all over. I'm willing to sacrifice in a relationship, but I'm not the typical "pushover" type Pisces, either. I have a more assertive Leo ascendant and a lot of Sadge in my chart, so I have a pretty strong personality even though I look feminine and vulnerable. I can let go of a relationship when it's becoming toxic to my well-being.

I won't stay around indefinitely waiting for this Scorp, but if he's just testing me and is ultimately sincere, I AM willing to stick it out to be with him. Call me crazy, but I will put up with his mind games (only up to an extent), if this means that I'll receive that *infamous* Scorpio loyalty, devotion and passion I've heard rumors about in return ... Or is this just a complete myth? I don't know, you tell me, but this is why I'm trying to figure out what this Scorpio's intentions are.

Maybe he got jealous seeing you talk to other guys.

You say he stares at you. Do you the same?

I mean you know him.....you are friends. Maybe he doesn't know you like him.

Do you?

Sounds like you know what's up. I think the problem is trying to decode their behavior. Scorpios are fucking nuts. If you're into that, so be it, but don't try to change him or figure him out. You're obviously intrigued. They are water signs just like you, emotional, amorphous, ever-changing. Anything but boring. Sure, some of their behavior is childish (read: selfish) but in the end, if you can get through the tests and the games (they are really secure on the outside but desperate for security in love) you will get that rumored loyalty and devotion, if that's what you want. Just don't ask for it, everything is on scorpio's terms. Or at least for the most part (which can work well for the usually altruistic pisces). However, if I might add, they do appreciate being put in their place when they are being inappropriate, and sometimes they seek this out to make sure you're not some weak peon that they can in fact walk all over.

I'm just curious. Why do you think he's gay? I can understand that the hot/cold behavior might be an indicator, but why does he only act this way around me, then? If he was gay, wouldn't he be acting this way around other women as well? I seem to be the only recipient of this behavior.
