Scorpio Man Driving Me Around the Bend

So, I have known this Scorpio man for 4 years now (we live in different states and see each other a few times a year). When I met him, I couldn't stand him. Circumstances changed and we became good friends (I am Pisces). He began flirtatious behavior, we grew closer and I developed strong feelings for him. I let him know how I felt and he said that I am one of his closest friends, but he is not interested in a relationship with me or anyone else. I was OK with that, happy for the clarity. Our friendship is strong and continued. He started in again with the very affectionate behavior that showed he was clearly attracted. Round two of talks. Round two of denial of interest. Really guys, wouldn't you back off a this point? So, three years into this, we were working, hanging out together for a week with other colleagues. He is all over me physically and latched on to me like a puppy dog to the point people asked if we are dating. He has been sending gifts, calling me to tell me he misses me, that he tells me things he has never told anyone. Round three of talks, round three of denial that he is interested in me. He is not gay. What gives?!?! Fear, commitment-phobe, class A jerk? Help me out here. I love this man, but I am prepared to cut him off completely.

You have no boundary lines. Establish them, then ENFORCE them. No affection, no gifts, just friendship at an arms distance. Then you will see if he accepts that. YOU have the power to enforce your happiness.

Actions must match words.

he needs a boot up the arse to remind him that he has no romantic interest in you. i would personally sever and distance myself. you're confused...he's confused. the only way to clear that is by re-establishing YOUR wants and needs in this. you don't know what's going on in his mind after all. you clearly want more than friendship and he clearly doesn't and so you have a 'check' situation. you need to remove your piece from the equation before it becomes a checkmate impass.

whatever his motives, it's just not nice to fuck with someone who has made it very clear they're interested in more. hardly an act of friendship!! if you started dating someone else, they would be quick to call him out on his seemingly romantic moves cos it's not appropriate if you're just friends and the scorp has to understand that.

Dude wants sex whether he is into you or not. Full stop! Up to you if you want to be his warm up doll for whenever he is in the mood for physical action. If it were me I would have stopped all contact the moment he said he wasn't into me like that. You are hanging around like you want to be whatever he wants, so he is treating you as such.
