So I'm back about the scorp and getting quite annoyed/impatient. From when we hung out he didn't seem like much of a talker, but I can understand that because I can be the same way. I wasn't sure if he felt nervous in a way or was just trying to hold back from me. Like trying to keep it cool.

Where it gets annoying is that I haven't seen him since we hung out and I would really like to. He has initiated texting with me, but his texts are literally ONE WORD. I try to ask questions and all answers are one or max 3 words lol. Seriously? What the heck does this mean? Does anyone think this is normal? Is this scorp male behavior? Or WHAT KIND of behavior is this? I would also love to speak to him over the phone but I would rather he initiate.

I would also like to point out that he has mercury in sag! The cap I met had mercury in sag and he talked my ear off lol. WTF?! Am I missing something? Like I said he initiates the texting, so what's up with the short replies? Talk about boring me and making me uninterested. But oh he's so fine! *sigh* (venus in libra talking 😉)

i have a merc in sag and if like someone and am not really sure about stuff i will clam up.

yeah, i know, hard to believe....but it's true.

i also have that venus in libra, so i know this is KILLING you 😛

we just want things to fall into place like RIGHT NOW. (I'm sure my aries has something to do with that too)

just be patient, take it slow and let things play out naturally.

remember, you are dealing with someone very much like yourself and have to always keep that in perspective. it's almost a bonus but also can be an obstacle.



I thought it was the scorp in me that wants to NOW, but I guess the venus adds to that! I have a taurus moon, so that should make me more patient. Nope. I'll try to take it slow and not wonder so much about this. Part of me thinks this is just how he is and I shouldn't take it personally, but it's still quite frustrating. But you're right I am dealing with someone of my kind, sort of lol. Thanks for your insight! 🙂

My scorp guy was not like that when we first got together, but after a bit, he totally fell into that. I went through an immature girlish moment where I freaked out because he went from texting me everyday all the time to not at all. Come to find out he just doesn't like texting that much.

Did he say he wanted to see you again after you hung out last time? My scorp was very much that way. He wanted to plan to get together again before the end of each date. I just put him off until later 1)Because when we started my schedule was always up in the air and 2)I needed a bit of time to process before moving on to the next round lol. But my scorp also has a merc in scorp and a libra moon, so he probably was born wanting to keep the ball rolling lol.



He didn't exactly tell me that he wanted to see me again. Our goodbye was kind of quick, but he did tell me to call him. To which I responded "you call me" and he ended up texting me! lol.

I guess it's too early to predict, but I just wanted to know if this is a normal thing for scorp males. I'll see it continues, and how it plays out. 🙂

Ha....You just described me. When I was alot younger...I was loud, Charismatic..all that good stuff. But the older I get, the less I like speaking. Even when i'm with my friends..I want them to just STFU lol. And as far as texting...I've been doing that exact same thing with the girls i'm talking to. For some reason..I won't call but I will text them...let the convo die down and text again. And one of the girls I really like so I don't know why I won't call her. I'm sooo confusing -_-

lol. ScorpMackin, so are you telling me you do this same thing, but don't know why?? Great. Haha. Should I call him? I was doing a lot of thinking today. At one point when we hung out I told him he was beautiful and he told me I was lying lol. Then he said he felt like he wasn't wanted by me. I was like WHAT?

Could he be insecure? I was thinking of calling him, but I don't know if that would be a mistake. Maybe he needs a little space? I also haven't initiated anything so maybe he's waiting for me? I haven't heard from him all day. Blah!

That's exactly what i'm saying LOL!. But I will say this..If you haven't initiated ANYTHING then that might be your problem. I know me personally, I pay attention to who initiates what. And If I feel like i'm doing more of it than you are, then I may feel that you don't like me as much as u say you do hence why he may have made that statement "He doesn't feel wanted by you". He sounds a bit insecure though...maybe his last go round at a relationship damaged him pretty good.

Is he busy/working when you text him? Also, are you texting him things that he can reply to, like questions or conversation starters? Maybe he just doesn't like texting?


Well, he initated the texting, which is what is confusing. Why would he initiate if he doesn't like it? And I was asking all kinds of questions and was getting nada! lol.

I'd rather talk on the phone than text. Next time he sends you a text message, reply that you are driving and ask that he calls you instead. Even if you're not really driving. Lol 🙂

Oh thats a good one! I could have done that over the weekend, but other than that I was at work, so I can't be driving lol. I'll be sure to use this from now on lol. 😉

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I'm the same way. WELL! I called and it seemed like he was waiting for my call because he said something along the lines of 'hey stranger, you finally called'. It was a quick convo because he had to do something and said he would call back, but I could tell he's more open to talking on the phone.

About the previous relationship thing-yeah I agree. I get the feeling he could of had a bad last relationship. I will dig into this subject some other time lol. For now I'm gonna flat out ask him if he prefers to talk on the phone or text.

I do think merc in retrograde has a little to do with how we are all communicating though.

A new day.

The new scorp that I'm kind seeing did that like a week ago. He was busy and short I was kind of worried too, but than he came back. Sometimes he is quiet when we hang out and other times he talks alot.

Depends on his mood probably.


I guess I do that too sometimes but I don't notice it cause I'm focusing on his behavior.


But the more I get to know him, the less it matters. You know like with a friend? You probably wouldn't be nervous or freaked out by it because you know them and their behavior. Which we are becoming little by little. It's cool. The other night we stayed up talking about our families and our take on relationships are for like 4 hours lol


It's fun getting to know a person. Just let it flow

Sag89, you're right. I'm just gonna ride this out and see where the wave takes me. RIght now is wayyy to early to tell, and I think a lot of factors in the stars may be affecting things to go forward. I really do want to get to know him better, and I feel like we could be good friends. If anything, the only female friends who I feel like completely understand me have been scorps.

Where I am seeing that it could start to get tricky is just that. We are both scorps. Right now I am confused, but I am not gonna weigh in to heavly on the current state. He never called me back last night like he said he would, but then he texted me today like nothing. Ok?? I had a feeling he would text me, and I gave him his one word answers right back, and just stopped texting. I think he could tell I was annoyed at him, I hope he did lol. My question is why did he not call and act like nothing happened? I am thinking he wanted me to ask him why he didn't call or something, but really, I don't play those games. He could have at least acknowledged that.

Anywho, once we get over this hump (and hopefully after merc turns direct) things can run more smoothly.

Sure there are always rough patches, or confusing ones.

The new scorp does that with me too sometimes. He won't respond to a txt I send or something. Than will come back the next day and be like whats up? I guess someone people just don't respond back to you. I try to always txt back because I don't want someone to feel ignored. I guess some people don't see it like that though.

Or maybe they are trying to play a game with you? Who knows.

Haha oh your a scorp too? Than it should be easy? I'm don't much about the scop/scorp relations though.


I was sort of rude to him last night actually. That was he first time it ever happened. I feel bad it was an accident. Hopefully he didn't notice it.
