Taurus woman perplexed by a Scorpio man

Hi guys, this is my first post on the forum and even though I've read through countless other posts about scorpios I still can't figure this one guy out. I can't figure out if he's playing the usual scorpio games or if he's just plain playing games lol. So, hopefully you all can help me out here. Here's the background story:

I've known this guy for over a year, but mostly as a friend. He told me that he initially liked me, but didn't say anything because I was taken. However, now that I'm single things have been a little different between us. I've been single for about 3 months now, but he found out a month ago. When he first found out that I was single, he gave me his number and told me to call him. I took that as a sign of him still being interested, but that's when things started getting weird. I swear that this guy is like a ghost most of the time, but when he's not MIA he expects me to be fully available to him.

He texts me, but just barely. Once in a while, he'll respond to my texts right away, but most of the time he takes forever to respond to my texts. I'm not exaggerating. Sometimes he will ignore my texts for a day or two. I don't text him repeatedly when he doesn't respond, I may send one follow-up text because sometimes he will reply if I send a follow-up, but if he doesn't reply, then I know he's ignoring my question. One time, I just stopped texting him, but after a day and a half, he sent me messages asking why he had not heard from me. I wanted to scream "Dude! You didn't see my last text messages and the questions I asked?! I'm still waiting for you to reply!" I didn't say that though lol. I made a joke and said something along the lines of it being his fault because he didn't call or text me. Anyway, now I text him once in a while (max 4 times in a single day), and he sill does his stupid ignoring thing. If he doesn't respond in an hour or two, I know he won't respond at all and I'll usually wait a day or two before I text him again. I just don't understand why he would ask me to text him, but ignore me after I do.

Phone calls are even worse. He says he'll call and about 95% of the time he doesn't. Seriously, when he says "I'll call you____" I don't even hold my breath, and I told him that. He laughed, but I was so serious. When he DOES call, it's never when he says he will. He calls me out the blue and sometimes I miss his call and have to call him back, and that usually causes friction. He never comes right out and says anyt

Sorry didn't realize it would cut off part of the post. Here's the rest:

He never comes right out and says anything, but his actions say it all. Just last night, I missed his call and he sent me multiple text messages, and Facebook messages asking me what's going on, but of course when I tried calling him back I got no answer. Another time, he called and I said I'd call when I got out the shower. I guess I took too long because 5 minutes before I got out the shower, he sent me a text joking about how clean I must be and said goodnight then didn't answer the phone when I called (5 minutes after he texted me!).

I just don't understand him. I would think that these are clear signs of disinterest and of a man stringing me along, but he asked me to take a week-long trip with him next month (just before one of his disappearing acts). When he did finally come around, I asked if he still wants me to go on the trip and he said yes if I still want to come. I'm ready to pull my hair out with this guy and I've just about had it with his mixed signals. So, here's my question: Does he seem like he's interested and being a typical scorpio or am I correct in feeling like he only talks to me when he has nothing better to do? I really want to give him the finger and just move on, but I understand that scorpios like to "test" their potential mates. I'm patient, and if he is "testing" me, then I'll give him a little while longer to get passed this, but I don't want to waste my time when I feel like he's just playing period.

What do you guys think? Wait it out or go with my gut feeling and chuck the deuces?

Chuck the dueces, even before this trip there are some major discussions that need to happen in a calm, collected taurean way. Why would you want to go out with all this hot and cold shit going on, and that trip is coming around. That is ackward, seems the word or words (space or maybe take a break) are at play, like it is uncomfortable when people aren't really interested but play the mind games. It is only so much you can take in...and so much drama you can tolerate..

If you are going to be on a trip with someone , can you aleast get along? have some conversations by phone or in person, and no games in the process. I am surprised you are hanging on for this long.. That makes you a true ambitious and devoted person. .. But Good luck..

No matter what sign we all go through something. It always seems to be like that in the beginning...Just see where things progress from now till that trip. And communicate and just be straight forward you are a Taurus. You know what they say about T/S either we are soul mates or enemies or just friends..And We want to be happy and you're not happy.

Thanks love! I want to tell him off so badly, but he's just so.... I can't even describe it (aside from saying "Mmmmm" lol). Too bad :-/ I won't let him have it, but I'll make it clear we are better off remaining friends. I just don't want to offend him and make his legendary stinger come out. I'm not afraid to go there with him and let out my inner bull, but I'd rather not. I prefer to remain peaceful

Yeah I feel ya on that one. It's like ok keep absolutely calm when people try to provoke the oh so quiet bull and then unleash the inner bull. Lol..

But I am more the type of a true first decan taurean woman by definition and personality.. And I do have to keep my MIT in check, and my temper.. But my Aquarius moon and CR makes me unleash and then forget or feel it's not worth the anger or stress. Good Luck..But once you make your mind up it's for real, no games. But everyone plays games nowadays, everyone testing everyone.

Best wishes.

Hmph. What questions are you asking him? Are they personal? That may be why the questions, are being ignored.

Why are you texting him again if he's not responding to you? You send a text, if he doesn't respond live your life. Or don't. You set the standard and the stage for how he will treat you.

Btw, this isn't a "game", Scorp or otherwise, it basic lack of any real interest.

So, you're planning to go away on a week long trip with a man that can't even give you the courtesy of a return call and ignores your text? This sounds "off" don't you think?
