Any other scorps here struggle with stubborn pride? How does it affect your relationships with the opposite sex whether single or committed?

Personally, I??ve never had trouble attracting attention from respectable women, but aside from a few short and long term —flings??, I can't say that I??ve been able to keep a serious, meaningful relationship. My standards for love might be high and I keep telling myself I'm just trying to avoid getting into anything that I don't see a real future with; but maybe it's a sorry excuse for fear of commitment and not recognizing a good thing if it hit you in the face.

The few times in my life that I did recognize it, I froze up or blew it due to my pride and mind-game induced ego trips. Why is it so hard for us to feel or appear vulnerable?

I agree. All my 25 years of life have been highly sexual flings. Now that I want something serious, my pride wont let me.. it wont let me appear weak and vulnerable. I have pushed away a lot of good people out of my life due to this.... I know one day my pride will be the death of me lol.

by the way I know im not a scorpio sun but having a leo sun and scorpio moon isn't a pretty site lol.

exactly... its not so much that I'm afraid of it though, I just wanna be met halfway. Reciprocation and consistency are everything to me in a relationships. It's like im turned off by women who try too hard themselves but at the same time I'm not willing to put in a leap of faith effort myself; leaving me between a rock and a hard place...

I often find myself in these cat and mouse, hot and cold situations. And don't get me wrong, Im the hopeless romantic type whose all about the idea of "fighting for love", but I know my own worth and theres a difference between"fighting" for love and "competing" for it...I guess the real question is, where do we draw the line between pride/ego and self-respect
