Posted by oxygenthiefYou’re dating and already sleeping with each other within this two month period without first establishing commitment. That’s a potential issue right there.
@bittercupcake Yes I totally agree. I think everything was going well until we both caught feelings. I noticed he started assuming I was going to hurt him like one time I asked him to help me with something and he said that reminded him of people trying to use him 😢. He definitely became insecure which is why he says he not ready to commit but you can't expect me to not see anyone else while he make up his mind. Anyway he disappeared on me for a week after we had a seemingly great date. I will see him soon (it's been two weeks) and I will definitely let him know that he is just making things difficult and unless he can put his insecurities to the side I'm walking. I took a break dating before I met him so I worked out some of my past hurt and issues but clearly his is purposely ruining a good thing we have.


Posted by oxygenthief... "so when I called him after a week went by "...... hmmm
Let me clarify
On our first date we both discussed what we wanted. We both agreed that we liked each other and wanted to see where it goes. When I told him to keep options open I clarified to him go on other dates and I told him let’s hold off on sex for that very same reason so he doesn’t think I would be fucking him and who ever else.
Yes he is concerned about his freedom but if we not exclusive then potentionally dating other people was best. I learned that putting your eggs in one basket too soon is never good.
After that discussion we were back on the same page. Please save your sex judgments. There are many people who slept together early and are in committed relationship. One of my friends slept with her husband on the first date. Another friend of mine was sleeping with her now bf for about 6 months (while she was dating other people) and he still wanted commitment. Some men only wants sex and some men see beyond that!!
Anyway so yeah we fixed that problem and everything was smooth sailing after that. I know he told me his November was busy his friends and family was visiting, birthdays etc. so when I called him after a week went by he told me a lot was going on and he had to go to a funeral. In his absence that’s when I started to think I should just walk away just by him being complicated.

Posted by oxygenthiefI see... with your moons it will take time 🙂 Taurus moon will take forever to get used to a new situation,
@Pandora101 thank you for your response. Yeah that was the first time that happened a week without Talking. Our usual routine was talking during the week and seeing each other at least once a week. If he needed to rethink about what he wanted then he could have at least let me know instead of going MIA. I never mentioned him to him I wanted full blown commitment after 2 months I told him that it is too early to tell and it should take no more than 6 months to know if you are ready to committ. Some opinions on here are saying I’m wrong for mentioning keeping options open but I disagree. You can’t tell a woman you not ready and then think she is just going to wait on you. I guess we should have clarified as if he meant like not at all or it’s just too early to tell. I took it as not at all which is why I said options open. At first we started acting like a couple and then I noticed he started acting insecure which is now why I think he said he’s not ready. He kept saying “I need to get my shit together” I think he meant his emotions. I never thought about asking if he has completely healed from his previous relationship but he said he took a 6 month break from dating after his last relationship and I took 2 months off prior to meeting him. When talking to him he has a round about way of saying things and I’m more blunt so I tend to pull the whole truth out of him. Anyway not that it matters but he is a Scorpio/Sag cusp (Nov 21) with a Taurus moon and I’m a Scorpio (Oct 30) with a Leo moon.

random convo plays out
him: I'm not ready to commit yet
me: I'm not asking for commitment after 2 months, BUT I'm not dating just for the heck of it, I want to see where it goes, if it doesn't progress to a relationship after 6 months max then I'm out.
him: ok I understand
me: I think it will be a good idea to keep our options open until you are sure.
him: get's conflicted and upset and says "oh, I didn't think we were playing that game."
me: What game? there is none if you are unsure about me it is best to be honest and keep our options open.
him: ok (still upset but tries to hide it)
me: face palms dammit he just had to be "complicated" and now we are in limbo
Still continues to date but now we both are slowing things down, calls are less, hangouts are less, no sex anymore. I guess we are both paranoid now.
Sigh* when it's good it is great but when it is bad or my. Even though we continue to have "honest communication" the power struggle is full forced. Why must scorpios purposely ruin their relationships or potential ones—!!! I'm ready to walk away I don't have time for power games. What was so simple has become difficult and I'm done with that shit in my life.
