Scorpio = Magnet!

It's funny, it wasn't until I was being bombarded with long-distant gazes, smiles, seductive looks everytime we passed each other (that made me question my manhood!) and an overly flirty wink, that I finally looked up the Scorpio traits...there's quite a scary resemblence!

We work in the same office building but she works in a different department.

I've broken the ice with her and I've started striking up random conversations, attempting to get to know her a little, but she's quite hard to talk to. We always catch each other's eye and it's like there's this strong magnetic pull between us - it's overwhelming. I have even caught her blushing once on approach.

I find it difficult getting the time to talk to her (it's always a few minutes here, a few minutes there), it's possible at work, just it will take a lot longer. I guess she knows this too. We're both very careful about our surroundings.

The problem is, where does it go from here? I've sent her a few messages on FB but have had absolutely no response, and that's the confusing bit! It doesn't really make sense to me - but then again, being an aqua, I treat everyone like a friend first, right?! 😉

Anyway, I don't like playing games (games that lead nowhere) or having people lead me on (big no-no!)...and it sort of feels like a game, but doesn't if you know what I mean. It takes two minutes to reply to a message and you have the luxury of time to reply with whatever you want - is it a game? or not enough interest?

...I can't remember ever having someone come onto me so strong, but with so few words! It has tickled my head.

Same with the Scorpio I know. Looks at me from a distance and stare then that's how I noticed her. I thanked her with something regarding work thru email and she didn't respond. and saw each other again, she still stares so we just stare at each other.

Yea I think she's unsure as well. We aren't easy people to get to know...some of us are really shy and take a while to crack. If you approach her like you have absolutely no intentions other than being friends, you'll break down the wall faster...but it won't work if she senses otherwise.

When you sent FB messages, did you ask anything in particular or was it more of a saying hi in passing kind of thing? If she's ignoring you on there, I would stop sending her messages and just keep communication face to face.

With my aqua, when I first met him I completely ignored him. I don't know why I did, I'm pretty sure I just wasn't sure about him at the time. He looked like the type of guy who was use to getting what he wanted and was constantly jocked by women. Needless to say, we stayed friends for over a year before anything happened between us.

If you do get anywhere with this girl...my advice is to be consistent and stay true to your word, especially in the beginning. If you guys make plans, don't cancel; if she calls/txts/emails, try and respond within that day. I say this because I know how you aquas can be all over the place. But like Ellessque said, don't chase too hard...which I know won't be a problem for an aqua.

Yeah, very interesting. I'm very chatty to everyone and slip in a few funny comments here and there. I get on with most people but am probably a little quieter around her. I do have women post on FB but it's all friendly...because they're friends! There's nothing that would say "player"...I don't think...

No, I don't brag about things at work, I am actually a very private person but can appear to be outgoing and very confident. So, I can see why someone would think I am a "player", when in actual fact I'm a very honest person.

Well, the messages I sent: the first I asked her out for a coffee. The second I asked her a random question. And the third was wishing her a happy Xmas etc. And to be honest I think three strikes is fair enough, so I won't be going down that route again.

Yeah Aqua men rub me the wrong way. I steer clear. Intuition..

@mooncancer - that actually made me laugh! I can so see this happening to me! 🙂
@exoskeleton - yes, me sociable with everyone, her with her "cliche" only really (comes across reserved to everyone else).
@all - thanks for the insight so far...

Yeah, it's true, my nature is quite typical of an aqua I guess - in that I can appear quite distant and have a hard time conveying feelings across, but I always fight (hard) against that when I like someone. I typically analyse before taking action.

She actually responded to the last message I sent - made a joke, asked a question, I replied and that was it so far.

I hate having crushes at work, you'd have thought by 29 you'd be over them right?! Either way, I'm going to have to tell her so that I can move on in either direction, I get tired of analysing - even for an aqua!
