Is there a possibility of friendship?

...of a particular scorpio that is.

I met him through a friend. One of his friends wanted to meet me and so he suggested it to our mutual friend. She said we would be incompatible and started describing me. He decided to ask me out to coffee himself so we could have a good conversation. When we met there was an instant connection and within an hour and a half we discussed too many topics to recall. I instantly really liked him but I had my reservations. From the very beginning I know that we wouldn't ever be in a relationship since he stated up from that he wasn't ready to commit.
The second meeting happened in much the same way two days later. Coffee in the morning.

The third time we met we ended up sleeping together. It was inevitable and I'd been dreaming about it since meeting #1. After a failed attempt to study we ended up at a low key bar by campus and we talked for a few hours over beers. Eventually the topic of relationships came up. His goal is to find love but he's afraid it won't be everything it's cracked up to be and he's not ready to commit. Slightly contradictory. When asked I said that I could only commit for the next year because I'm applying to graduate school at different universities. He also asked if I would consider long distance with him. I said no. It was a highly hypothetical question since we would never be committed to each other and he told me had had cheated before.

Over the past few weeks we've been repeatedly contacting each other but haven't been able to meet because of miscommunication and conflicting schedules. I've also calmed down a bit and realized that I don't want this non-committed affair even if I like him a lot. It will leave me closed off to meeting anyone else and in the end I do want a real relationship that can potentially continue long distance. He has issues he needs to sort through before he'll be ready to sincerely be with someone. I really did enjoy talking to him though and it's very rare for me to find someone like that. Is there any way that I can salvage that part of the relationship and close off the romantic part? At this point I can either just stop contacting him and our association would end. Or I can try talking to him about it. My first instinct is to be up front with what I feel. I don't know when I'll have the chance to do that though. It has to be face to face. I refuse to have that sort of conversation without physical cues. Any advice?

Intrigued: You're right I do like him. I mentioned that in my post. You're also right about the fiery influence. I always bite off more than I can chew. I've rationalized the situation though and come up with this.

1. It ends in a relationship. This is out of the question since he said he's not ready to commit and based on what I know about him I agree.
2. FWB. This is the alternative that is most likely to occur based on past actions. It's also the alternative that I've decided to reject. I would just start liking him more and I wouldn't ever be open when meeting anyone else.
3. We become just friends. I favor this because when we're together we communicate so well and it would be a shame to let go of someone who really gets you. I have a very small inner circle of friends and it's rare to meet someone who I like enough to join in can join in. I'm mostly indifferent to everyone I meet.
4. It ends completely. This is most likely going to happen.

As for the 'deed', it was good for a first time. It always tends to get better with practice. My personal opinion, however, is that he has conflicting views toward sex. One thing he said to me was "You like someone and then you sleep with them but what comes after?" My guess is that it's a result of several such relationships without feelings involved at all. Plus he's been the guy that a few girls have cheated on their boyfriends with, so I don't think he trusts girls that much.

Look how much time you've spent on here this morning, DeludedScorpio .... you carried on for page after page about how you must fend for the entire family now, and make all the arrangements to save the family (which of course is a lie since you're the bastard and have zero say-so in any matter) ....


..... I'm unclear how you have time to come here and post at all.



Rest assured, I will remind you at every turn how busy you are and don't have time to be here since you've got to be the hero in your head .... somebody has to keep reminding you to honor yourself.




:::: sighs :::::



You have so much to do .... I guess the first thing you need to do is to go to his wife and explain to her that you're going to take her belongings .. she needs to know that you've decided she's going to be destitude.

.... mother knows nothing about the business and neither do I.





You mean the business that your sperm donor and his wife and children own?

You make it sound like you are of super importance to the situation .. over the top, like a Scorpio.

The reality is .... you, nor your mother have anything to do with his life, expect for being the collectors of child support.

Now, of course 'everything' in my future must be put on stall ....





.. because child support will stop, so there won't be anyone to pay for your career as a student.

..... who knows how much the medical bills will costs us ....

You aren't included in the "us" ... so it won't cost you anything.

OP,

Maybe your scorp is afraid of commitment, not because he doesn't want to be tied down, but maybe because he is simply scared of love? I just find it interesting he was asking you about your intentions after sleeping with him, before sleeping with you (is that right?) that would indicate his worry that you might sleep with him and not follow through with any interaction afterwards, which seems to be where your aimed. It also seems to indicate that he takes things quite seriously with women.. Whether or not he can "commit"

I understand you both have certain wants for a relationship, but what's wrong with being attracted to someone and simply seeing where it ends up? I get the logic behind cutting things off because you'd rather not get attached and THEN have to deal with your differences in what you expect in a relationship, but you will never know what could come of this pairing if you never give it *any* chance.

I was with my scorp for like 9 months before we ever discussed that we were each others BF/GF. When I first started hanging with him he told me he wasn't looking fir a girlfriend, that he didn't need one. Well, when things are right between two people, lots of pre conceived ideals, or whatever, go right out the window,

Idk, sorry if my response is scattered. Just pointing out a few things I thought when reading your post. It's hard to say if any of what I said really applies though, since I, obviously, don't know either of you beyond what youve written.

I m a Pisces too btw.

And also, you're very pretty. I had an idea you were a pisces, because of your eyes, before I ever saw your placements. just thought I'd say :p
