Just from what I've read, Scorps need to know that they are needed/loved in order for them to open up and trust someone, but then they also like mystery.

Oh you're a Virgo...

I am not a man.
But I saw the mystery of scorp men as not *talkative*. They are too quiet.. and they stare very deep.
It frightens me sometimes...because I see the mirror of myself.

^^^I will add one thing. For a person to open up and trust, you need to be upfront---about who you are--and trustworthy (actions and words often line up). That has nothing to do with telling a person how much you miss/need/want them. At least not to me. You??re discussing two different things entirely.

...I have been completely honest with him from the get go. But I have sort of taken a passive role lately in that I have not told him that his recent lack of communication has been bothering me. Everyone on here seems to be like hey be upfront and tell him how you feel, but no one seems to understand why I am hesitant to do that. Knowing what I know about Scorps, I would think Scorps here would understand that I just don't want him to perceive me as needy, impatient, not understanding and trying to rush things, when he clearly mentioned in our conversations that he is not needy, does not like needy, doesn't need to see/talk to someone every day, doesn't rush into a relationship, take time to warm up to someone. To him my being direct about not liking him slowing down our interactions may scream "SHE HEARD NOTHING OF WHAT I TOLD HER."

means nothing if the interaction is superficial. Also, read over Rabbit's last post. Those things matter more than texting you every second to let you know you're on someone's mind.

If he "clearly mentioned he doesn't rush into a relationship" and "needs time to warm up to someone" that tells me, you're not actually in a relationship (although you've called it such), so at this stage, your insecurity is your issue to sort out. Not his. Sorry. If you force that responsibility onto him you will create an issue. Figure out why you internalize stuff so much.

But back to my needs - I am OK with giving someone space, as I am kinda like that, but once I have that security of knowing that the person likes me and wants to be with me. At this stage of our relationship, this does not make me feel safe as I don't know whether he is really interested in me or not. So that's why I started this thread asking about mysterious behavior. If Scorps like that, me being upfront about my feelings sounds like a contradiction in a sense.click to expand
Well "kinda" being like him in terms of needing space is fine. Just recognize that you may be dealing with a Scorp that doesn't "kinda" need space, but actually does. A lot of it. Again, this may not be a reflection of his feelings, simply how he processes his emotions and the world. As he begins to trust you, you will be a part of that process. You rush it and push, you're locked out. Pushing fast forward because you feel insecure is not his concern or problem. Being in an established relationship is a different matter (to some degree).


If a relationship "lacks" communication, telling a person this bothers you is not the same as being "needy" or "impatient". If there is no real communication, that is a problem and it should be discussed. However, based on what you've written it sounds like he has no problem communicating with you, but the frequency doesn't seem to be calming your insecurity (e.g. "the recent lack of communication").
Why do you feel so insecure about your involvement with him? Has he given you reason (other than slowing the contact down) to make you feel he's no longer interested? Better yet, why do you assume him slowness has to do with disinterest in you vs simply needing time to figure things out or having other issues outside of your interactions to manage? You haven't written anything regarding the other aspects of your courtship (how he treats you, how he is when he is with you)---but I recognize you probably didn't want to go that deep into it based on the OP. How long have you been dating? All of these things matter as much (if not more imo) as how often the man talks to you.

Finally, you don't have to change who you are (e.g. taking a passive role), but simply appreciate who he is. Meaning, if you like to text, call just to say hi, do so. However, if you don't hear from him immediately or everyday (at this stage in the courtship) it does not necessarily mean he is disinterested. I personally do not text/call my SO everyday even though he is on my mind much of the time. I don't feel the need to. Other Scorps do. Appreciate the Scorp you're with and stop relying on generic references that you've read about what and who we are. There's no need to "be" mysterious because Scorps supposedly dig that. Be yourself.

As for our interaction, to recoupe: this has been going on for about 1,5 months. Saw each other every weekend, total of 5 dates. Until he pulled back after the last date (was quite intense, making out, no sex). Went silent for a week, reappeared, slow texting back and forth for a week, no plans to see me that weekend. Last week - same. This is the 3rd week, has not made any plans so far. We are texting though, but it's nothing in depth. At this point, I honestly feel like giving up. I don't think I haven't been patient with him. Never asked him why he disappeared for a week, just let him be. Never brought it up when he reappeared. But the way things have been, him contacting me here and there but not making any plans to see me for almost 3 weeks is not something I like.
He told me that he didn't need any more friends and so it's either he likes the person and sees a potential for a relationship or he doesn't even bother. Well? I don't get what this is between us. At this point, it feels to me like we are just texting buddies, which I have no interest in. Yet, I don't know how to deal with this situation. When he texts, I respond. When I do, he always does. Do I ignore him when he texts me next so he gets it that I am tired of this pointless never leading to anything texts? But I don't want to do it coz I consider ignoring someone rude. So what do I do? I feel like I am just dragging this - whatever it is between us - while I am not OK with it, yet I don't know how to deal with it in such a way that it lets him know that I want something more than this, yet he doesn't see it as me pushing him.

I am more curious to hear how a woman can be mysterious/create mystery for you in a new budding relationship, as well as a well-established one.
I hear that that is the only way to attract and keep a Scorp man interested, otherwise you get bored pretty quickly.
