PLEASE...Need a Scorpio man's opinion/point of view, PLEASE - Part 1 of 2

I’ve read so many threads on this site and had to finally break down and create an account. People who respond seem helpful and honest enough about their thoughts and feedback. I’m mainly here today to get a Scorpio male’s opinions, but open to hearing from others who can give non-judgmental, frank, reasonable responses and have been with a Scorpio man before. I apologize this is long, but I am at a loss. 😢 Please bear with me and read both, separate posts.

I dated a wonderful Scorpio man for a short 1-1/2 months, but our ‘relationship’ lasted two months. When we first met in December, he pursued me strongly. He is a single dad and after we saw each other for 3 days straight, he went away for 10 days to visit his son (5 hrs away). 24 hours after coming back from that holiday trip, he told me he met someone else online whom he wanted to pursue. He apologized profusely. I was shocked and confused because we texted every day he was away, he sent me pictures of his son and him, he called me on the phone, he addressed me as babe, sweetie, etc. and everything was wonderful. My friend told me later he was most likely scared to get too close and therefore, ran to this new woman. He wanted to stay friends so I knew he wanted to keep his options open.

We had to exchange belongings at some point after the breakup, but I purposely waited for 2 weeks before meeting up again. I wanted to see if he would miss me, and also to get a sense if he was still with the same girl. For various reasons (due to inclement weather and he was already out and about), we agreed to him coming to my house to do the exchange, 35 min away. That immediately told me it wasn’t going well with the other girl because otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of showing up in person. I knew he was monogamous and didn’t juggle more than one woman at a time. Sure enough, when he came over, we spent 3.5 hours just talking about everything that connected us (spirituality, philosophy, the cosmos, our single parenthood, friends, everything). We had a strong connection from the start and we could talk for hours at a time. We had a great afternoon, but I did consider him just as a friend at this point. Well, after the 3.5 hours and right before he was about to leave, we hugged…but he kept hugging me. Then he told me he missed me. I asked about the other girl and he said it didn’t work out well and that he was disappointed in himself. I took that as saying he made a mistake in calling things off between us. It also made me think he was indeed scared of getting too close, took off to try and date someone new, but realized he wanted to be with me.

So for an entire month, everything was wonderful. The relationship progressed and I didn’t pressure him. He eventually introduced me to a few of his neighbors, his roommate and most importantly, his best friend. I was shocked because I know, coming from a Scorpio, that was significant. (CONT'D
