I have a colleague I'm working with in a team in office. He's a Scorpio. So far, his attitude is cooperative, and I notice some things as well :

- the first time we met, he gawked at me with open mouth. My friend said "he didn't expect you to be that pretty" LOL
- he's a bit arrogant
- he likes to show off his accomplishments in a subtle way
- i sense sexual tension from his side when we're together at work
- He kept his text messages short & Chat IMs also very short although it's about work. I suspect sexual tension
- He paid attention to my habits and sometimes gave comments

I always thought that Scorps are shy and not arrogant, but this guy is somewhat arrogant. What is the best way to deal with him, to make work matters smooth?
I'm not attracted to him because he's not my type.

Some men are like that, regardless of sign, when they're attracted to someone. Showing off their accomplishments is kinda like fluffing their feathers and beating their chests...in a subtle kind of way.

In saying that, though, people sense sexual tension from my end when I didn't intend things that way and I wonder how many other scorpios find this happens to them wether they are aware of it or not. I would say it's even more so for the men.

As for dealing with his arrogance, is it ignorable? When people treat me that way I usually get cold and make it obvious that I have no time for their attitude...but that doesn't always work. Maybe there is something about you that makes him feel he has to prove himself. He may feel you are a threat to him in the work environment and it is showing through his arrogance.

You're an Aries. He wants you forever ( at the moment )
He's a Scorpio. You want him too.

And not only that but the sexual tension u feel is REALLY there. But Idk where it comes from.Scorpios can just feel how sexy aries r in the air. And that nonchalant attitude u have OMG we eat it up! Idk at work i would say to just be nice cause if you start being rude or mean... it might be bad FOR YOU. He seems like a EAGLE like hes at his highest scorpio level. When I think about guys like that I think about guys like P DIDDY- Sean Combs BAD BOY OWNER! HEs a scorpio whos at the top. Look at how he acts. U cant tell him shit and he gets the JOB done! Girl ... U LIKE HIM.

LOL thanks for the insights..very informative!

UPDATE
We had an office gathering and I was the first to show up LOL. I chatted with the bosses and grabbed a seat. Then people started arriving.
15 mins later, Mr.Scorp showed up and he saw me, immediately sit next to me while there are many empty seats in our row for our division.
He put his elbow on my arm rest it's so intimidating he's so close sitting next to me, dragging his seat closer while there are many empty seats in the row I can't even put my bag cause he's too close.
All my friends say that he seem to like me and he's behaving arrogant because he wants to get my attention.
He keeps mentioning that he's a Scorp LOL.

My best friend is also a Scorpio male and he's very sentimental, caring & loving.

It is better to have subtle tension in a situation like that, than full out contempt for the other person and still have to work there in the same office. In other words, don't rush to something abrupt like saying you fucking hate him or something lol. See where it takes you both, maybe you can become friends and learn about each other's peculiar "not-attracted" but attractive sides.

Let it simmer and go about things the way you want.

heroic guy--thanks for the insight.
Since I never paid him any attention romantically, he recently dated an office colleague, I don't know her zodiac sign (will find out later).
Physically she is not his type and he said that also, often. But she has always chased him, and I guess he's kinda lonely so he just took the offer.

He is very stingy with money, and she doesn't mind that. She always pay for everything and I guess that's what he likes.
I just hope that after having a relationship with him, there is no tension anymore between us as a team and that he can be more calm instead of boasting about his loneliness.
He used to boast about being lonely and empty inside..on his Facebook updates LOL.

UPDATES : WORK INCIDENT --Unpleasant
It happened last month. I was doing a project with him, and the technical equipment we used is not working. He was busy reading some things and I keep asking about the equipment, and he yelled at me "Kristal, I don't know how to fix it don't ask me!!"

Since that moment on, I withdraw from him and try to keep things only brief. He's been trying to be nice to me, talking sweet and telling jokes hoping I would forget that. But I already dislike him LOL.

It's just work between us. Only colleagues.
I sense that he has so much self hate inside him and can be very demanding, thus making the whole work situation unpleasant as a team.
