BTW, this is my first post ever.

I am a cancer and I recently met a scorpio. At first, it was instant sexual attraction. I felt left out because his eyes would always be on my body and he'd always want sex, but as soon as I wasn't physically there, he'd hang up on me "because his company is so important". I tried to talk to him about how I wanted more, but he told me I talked too much.

In the end, I freaked out. To make the long story short, we just began the relationship again. He is still a little cocky, but he uses words to express his cockiness. However, I am very perceptive to tiny, little details, and I noticed some change.

For example, when we were in a fight, I told him to clean his house, to be more emotional, to not do certain things (tiny habits), etc.

To my surprise, when we got back, he eliminated all those things I complained about and even turned my car around so I wouldn't have to (I know, small detail, but it matters to me).

I just wanted to know...if Scorpios are so stubborn and cocky and keep emotions inside, how come he is doing all this for me?

You'd probably say because he wants to be with me. But, I got a strange feeling. I rarely see a smile on his face, and I asked him what made him happy. He said, "My work." I was kinda disappointed by that. He also threw some criticism at me, but I took it gracefully.

What do I need to do to make him happy? Even though I don't know much about him, I strongly sense that he is unhappy and I feel like giving and giving to him. But what do I give to a Scorpio when all that makes him happy is his work (there's not much social pleasure he gets, either)?

Also, when I'm with him, I feel like I'm always being judged because he always finds a fault in anything that I do instead of being thankful. I try to be myself and relax, but it's hard to do when someone's always judging you. Can you imagine now why I'm scared to be generous to this guy?

No, no. He is not gonna listen to you unless you TELL HIM and I mean TELL HIM to stop judging you. And then next time he does it say "ok, since there's always a problem how about I leave you?" or give him the silent treatment, or do it back to him. Overall you need to tell him. I mean TELL HIM too, ok? So he can listen.

Last time I complained, he got super-defensive. He's not the kind to give in. I just don't wanna complain again and give in. I mean, he did change after I complained the first time, that's good, but it took me a loooong time and lots of effort to get him back. Maybe we need to get more solid before I shake things up again.

I was dating a scorpio once he was the exact same way. I say tell him to stop judging you also. and mean it when you say it. Let him think he is the boss. the scorpio's i do know always want to run the show. I say just ignore that part if you can. Sorry to say I'm not with that guy anymore. But let him know first hand how you feel. You should be able to be yourself and feel relaxed.

A few don'ts: Don't lie or try to hide things from him, because it won't take long for his detective mind to find out. Don't make excuses when he wants attention or affection from you, he'll be able to find it somewhere else. Don't provoke him to anger with denigrating or crude remarks, because he can chop anyone to pieces with words better than a soldier with an AK-47 assault rifle.
Here are a few do not's with scorpio men. I hope it helps.

P.S. I found this info on www.newagedirectory.com go to the link about how to attract a certain man or woman.

I have learned with experience that Scorpio men like to be in control, but they also like a strong woman. I think I lost my first Scorp. because I was a push-over and let him get away with things I normally wouldn't have. Then when he messed up, I would not only forgive him...I would almost take the blame myself. His new girlfriend was more forceful, which is hard for us Cancers as we tend to "side step" conflict.

I'm another one of those you have to hit squarely between the eyes to see another's point of view.

Scorpio men; they tend to think with only one area of their body. If you want him, tell him to come get you, then walk off.
