Woah...Thats a bit deep. Just erm..step back from the whole love thing for a while. Deep breaths and focus on yourself again..He'll probably come back when you least expect him to. Only then is your opportunity to tell him how you feel..i.e. his lack of phonecalls and meetings etc..That way, you'd have given him time to think and absorb "your situation"
HP - back to the e-card ... I do agree with you that not only is it considerate, but that it warrants at a minimum a thank you reply; however, as you are waiting and figuring out how this Scorp communicates - a non-response to me would not be an automatic negative strike ... example, my Scorp was headed out of town once, when he hung up I thought of something I wanted to add - a few hours later I sent him a text - did not receive a response, nor in our next few conversations was that text even mentioned until over a week later when, among other conversation, he then thanked me for the wish/prayer type text given a week earlier. Another time, I suggested something in conversation about getting his things in order and on that particular item he had no response until 8 months later when he pointed out what he had done and referenced my prior suggestion of the same. Gave me the sense that although he didn't verbalize it, doesn't mean that what I said or did was missed. He probably really appreciates your e-card, as well as the thought sentiment behind it.
MM, nah not deep for me. just a song a friend sent me. i thought it was rather clever.
it's not how i am feeling, sorry i forgot to take that part off the paste.
Its ok. I hope you feel better soon.
I hope he makes contact soon.
it's weird, but i don't think he will...i get a sense he will hope i just disappear...
i could be wrong.
seriously... you can't assume that everybody will respond to a considerate gesture right away... especially when stressed. for all you know he hasn't seen it yet. you dont know whats on his plate. also consider that men are different from women in these cases when they have a lot going on. they become almost single minded. the big concerns come to the forefront and YOU, while still on their mind, must accept for the time being the backseat. i've noticed that in my last two relationships. be supportive and give them the time they need to deal. it's called compromise and relationships absolutely require it, no matter how perfect the couple, and yes... even in the start of one. if i freak out on him, its only added pressure... on both of us!
im only suggesting giving him space for now. give your mind a rest from it too. if it is early on in the relationship, then keep your feelings in check. you are putting yourself out there and for whatever reason, he's not hooking onto it as much as you are to him for the moment, at least not in any obvious way. just dont stress yourself out trying to figure out why... it takes two to figure these things out. dont get ahead of him and try to do it yourself.
and ps. i have had back problems too from a sports injury, probably will the rest of my life. let me tell you... they are not fun! i have a high tolerance of pain when i have to, but there were days that i couldn't help but cry because of the pain. the injury made me realize how much we use our back in our daily, even nightly, routine. i couldn't bend over to tie my own shoes without extreme wincing, had a hard time just showering, sitting down and standing up was a process, and if i was sitting down... i was in pain. i mean, i could barely sleep in all but one position! fortunately it has miraculously somewhat healed itself, but i get the occassional muscle spasm and theres still scar tissue in my lower back. i guess my point is... this poor guy has had a double whammy on his back, has been out of work and is trying to catch up... if you're going to do the 'what if' thing, then try thinking 'what if he's absolutely miserable and just needs some time.' you did the right thing with the card, now back it up with feeling that supportive.
I don't think theres anything we could say to make you feel better at this moment in time. You'll have to reach that state of happiness in your own mind.
Your venus is in Pisces..no wonder you need to feel loved..lol..
hi HP - looks like it's been a tough couple of days....hate when i have those days
don't know if this will help, but here goes. i read in one of those books (yes, am guilty of reading those self-help books) that men are like rubber bands. after being close to someone men just need a little space and then they come back again.
whether this is true or not, i would let him have his space and - give him a chance to contact you. don't look at it as you waiting for him to call, but you giving him a chance to reach out to you. you might be surprised at how soon this may happen, especially if he doesn't hear from you.
i wouldn't get discouraged so quickly - CP's right, men's brains are mono-tracking. they deal with one thing at a time, starting with what's most pressing. (when my taurus guy was moving and had a lot of stuff going on at work, he came to meet me and my friend at a coffee shop late on a friday. she told me later on that the look on his face when he saw me was like i was his reward at the end of a long and busy day... maybe your Scorp guy is saving the best part for last too 🙂 )
p.s....it was really nice of you to offer to cook and take care of him. i think all women do things for those we care about (or attracted to). however, i think it may be too early? at this stage you should be on the receiving end of things, and only give as much as you receive (attention, contact, whatever).
i would resist the urge to give too much, too soon. it can be daunting for the receiver, as he may feel pressured to give back more in return than he wants to right now. it can be draining on the giver, and create resentment when you give and don't get anything in return. just something to think about....
and am sure he will contact you soon 🙂
oh yes, he contacted me today - first thing this morning. yes, i jumped the gun - he was souped up on pain medication and he was playing catch up with client matters.
he's going to the astros baseball game tonight and i'm meeting him at a jazz club downtown at 10 pm, so all is good for now.
thanks to everyone for letting me vent! 🙂
that's awesome, HP - have a great time 🙂
We had a good time.
Let me ask something. Is one of the traits scorpio men want in their girlfriends intelligence? I asked ScorpGuy last night about last relationships and he said that the last couple just couldn't carry on conversations and didn't hold his attention because they didn't appear to be very intelligent.
I suppose that says I'm holding his attention...but maybe it was a hint that I'm not...I don't know anymore...lol
im really sorry... but i have to... I TOLD YOU SO!!!! 😛 glad to hear he's making you smile again.
CP, 😛
Yes intelligence is very important..stupidity irritates me to no end...I could quite easily do harm to a stupid person..quite easily..very low tolerance levels..
ok...thanks for the info.
so i'm dealing with a very intelligent, nympho male...
noted.
😛 not that there's anything wrong with that.
you got it
LOL @ AB...Foot in mouth syndrome—?
LOL..yeah I guess thats true..I think we are all guilty of it at times.
*yawns*
I suppose we could all wonder what guys would think if they read stuff we write on here. I'm not really hung up on this guy per se' but more confused as to why some people are more considerate of others than other people are. My venting has been the courtesy behind actions/non actions. It has nothing to do really with a relationship with this guy. If you've really read all that I've written here, you must have missed the part where I mentioned it's way too early to even consider being in a relationship with him.
You probably also missed the part where I mentioned that I have an ex boyfriend in the picture. It's not something I want to share with someone- Scorpio or not. Men generally guard their jealousy well, but I know he would be jealous of that...even if we're aren't at the exclusive stage, which we're not and which I'm not sure I want yet.
I admire your candor.
okie doke.
why do always want what we cant have or what is not good for us?...ive learned (the hard way) that if something is meant to be there will be no turbulence it would be smooth sailing...you dont have worry if someone is going to call you...if you said the wrong thing..you should be completely yourself so that person will love you and want you know matter what...my scorp completely cut me off...and now i am at a point if i never see him again it would be too soon!!!!
sorry you feel that way, dward.
yea me too
i think all men are great. just frustrating at times when you try to understand them and can't. 🙂
houston...you are so right...there are really some great men out there...where? I dont know... but I know that they are out there
Well the situation isn't any better over this side of the ocean either..lets face it, I don't think men and women will ever truly understand each other..lol
And as someone said..If its meant to be, it will be plain sailing..but I guess even then we'll be thinking "whats gonna happen, this is too good to be true"..LOL..Oh the cycle never ends..
MM, it's truly a vicious cycle.

Tell me what word is replaced with the word "love"
