My Scorpio man travels a lot for work (consulting). How can I get him to communicate more while away? I tend to just wait till he texts me, but sometimes it's difficult and I want to reach out and tell him I'm thinking of him or just say hey how's everything going. He always responds and sometimes initiatives, but how to get him to make the first move more often/frequently?
Scorpio man communication
Any advice?

Posted by pisces_89Lol. I guess the other Scorps are thinking what I am...

No magical formula for manipulating initiative here dear Fish beyond you telling him this is something you would like and see if he can do that.
I mean what do you actually chat about if not your needs and expectations? How did you allow him to graduate to being "your man" if he doesn't know this small bit of info about your desire to feel needed?
Your answer to those questions may be the issue.
As well, how long have you been together? That may speak to a few things. What type of day does he have? If it's filled with noise and chatter he may need time to just "be". Too many things you're leaving out to provide more feedback beyond what I shared.
Posted by PhoenixRisingIt’s been a little over 2 months. That definitely could play a part like you say. He usually is pretty busy with work ending late in the night/early morning. I do want to let him know I’d like more contact the next time we meet in person-was afraid it could be misconstrued by textPosted by pisces_89Lol. I guess the other Scorps are thinking what I am...

I would agree to not do it over text. As two water signs go with what you do best: connecting on a personal level. Request get delivered and received much better when one can see you in person vs being filtered through his fatigue, irritation or whatever he may be feeling when he reads your text.
Make sure it's simply you sharing your feelings. Don't come off like you're telling him what to do or issuing an ultimatum. That will backfire.
With that stated, he may just be really tired after a long day and (don't take offense) chillin out may take priority over connecting with you at this stage. Or he may simply be a detached Scorp. We do exist. Speaking for myself, 2 months isn't a long time imo to expect me to reach out. I don't know if I'd claim a man that soon.
His distance simply need to be brought to his attention. Acknowledge that this may be hard for him to manage everything and express that you would love to help him unwind, hear about his day.... Also, be aware that you're not going on too much about the challenges your having when you talk. Absolutely nothing wrong with sharing what is going on in your life, just make it balanced. Allow him to share and you share---assuming this isn't already happening.

No. That is an indication of immaturity, poor communciation or/and lack of respect or all of the above imo.
If he has expressed feeling and disappears he may be feeling vulnerable and pulling away to manage that feeling. Either way, it still shows a lack of emotional maturity.

SMFH.

Posted by aquarius_beautyLeave him alone I know I would if he does all that crap.
@Stinger408scorp
Makes total sense. Oh well. Then I guess, I'll just let it be.

OP,
It's only been two months. I don't know your situation but this is still the early stages of dating where you are learning about each other.
I think this is too early to communicate your need for him to initiate more just to fill the hole you're feeling.
It's like unwrapping a present. At the moment you have opened only one end and are peaking in to see what it could be. Try not to complain about what might be inside before you've taken the time to unwrap it fully.
He IS initiating and he IS responding to you. These are both very positive. I would look at the reason WHY you feel you NEED him to initiate more.
Give it more time first. If you want to hear from him a little more then initiate a little more. Don't pursue or harrass the guy. Let things flow.

I do want to let him know I’d like more contact the next time we meet in person-was afraid it could be misconstrued by textPosted by pisces_89Lol. I guess the other Scorps are thinking what I am...
My Scorpio man travels a lot for work (consulting). How can I get him to communicate more while away? I tend to just wait till he texts me, but sometimes it's difficult and I want to reach out and tell him I'm thinking of him or just say hey how's everything going. He always responds and sometimes initiatives, but how to get him to make the first move more often/frequently?
No magical formula for manipulating initiative here dear Fish beyond you telling him this is something you would like and see if he can do that.
I mean what do you actually chat about if not your needs and expectations? How did you allow him to graduate to being "your man" if he doesn't know this small bit of info about your desire to feel needed?
Your answer to those questions may be the issue.
As well, how long have you been together? That may speak to a few things. What type of day does he have? If it's filled with noise and chatter he may need time to just "be". Too many things you're leaving out to provide more feedback beyond what I shared.
I would agree to not do it over text. As two water signs go with what you do best: connecting on a personal level. Request get delivered and received much better when one can see you in person vs being filtered through his fatigue, irritation or whatever he may be feeling when he reads your text.
Make sure it's simply you sharing your feelings. Don't come off like you're telling him what to do or issuing an ultimatum. That will backfire.
With that stated, he may just be really tired after a long day and (don't take offense) chillin out may take priority over connecting with you at this stage. Or he may simply be a detached Scorp. We do exist. Speaking for myself, 2 months isn't a long time imo to expect me to reach out. I don't know if I'd claim a man that soon.
His distance simply need to be brought to his attention. Acknowledge that this may be hard for him to manage everything and express that you would love to help him unwind, hear about his day.... Also, be aware that you're not going on too much about the challenges your having when you talk. Absolutely nothing wrong with sharing what is going on in your life, just make it balanced. Allow him to share and you share---assuming this isn't already happening.

I'll rephrase my answer I used to do that in the past not the present.

Posted by pisces_89He is answering to you? So what's the problem? Must you complain?

Posted by AgentP911This thread really took off!
OP,
It's only been two months. I don't know your situation but this is still the early stages of dating where you are learning about each other.
I think this is too early to communicate your need for him to initiate more just to fill the hole you're feeling.
It's like unwrapping a present. At the moment you have opened only one end and are peaking in to see what it could be. Try not to complain about what might be inside before you've taken the time to unwrap it fully.
He IS initiating and he IS responding to you. These are both very positive. I would look at the reason WHY you feel you NEED him to initiate more.
Give it more time first. If you want to hear from him a little more then initiate a little more. Don't pursue or harrass the guy. Let things flow.
Thanks! I really like the unwrapping a present metaphor. That's a prefect way to describe dating. I think I've wanted more contact b/c my social activities w/friends have been a bit less than normal and some family issues going on. I'll try and take my time 'unwrapping the present'
