Hello everyone!

Warning this is going to be long. I am a leo woman who is involved in a "relationship" with a scorpio man. He stated from the beginning he does not want a relationship since his last relationship was a mess, yada yada you know the rest. I was fine with that considering I don't like to rush into anything anyway. I assume he is seeing other people because he is single. Recently he told me he is not dating anyone because he does not have the time. Being a leo, time is the problem for me.
He has a high position and works ALOT along with having a young child from his previous relationship. We generally hang out once a month if that but keep contact through texting. We also work together so our "relationship" has been secretive because it is against protocol.
Several times I have backed off because being a leo, I don't feel like I am getting the attention I would like. By attention I mean quality time. I've address this before and he always says we both are busy, which is true. I am working 4 days a week, along with attending college.
When we are together it's great but the longer it takes for us to see each Other it makes me anxious and I lash out a little. He likes to make last minute plans,and I plan ahead. I feel like I am a last minute thought to him.
He texts me saying he misses me, or he's been thinking about me all the time and I am so skeptical because I don't know if it is real. I recently told him I needed to end the sexual part of the relationship and he agreed, claiming that is not an issue and the attraction isn't just physical. After that he sent me a text saying sexual things and I confronted him saying you're only interested in that and that is not me. He immeditaely got upset and told me no, that was not his intention.
Recently he told me he needed to take a step back because he doesn't want to fall on his face. He finally called me and we spoke about everything and agreed to take it slow. He felt as if I am unsure of the situation. I told him I'm not going to give all of myself to someone who isn't interested in something serious, so that is why he gets that feeling. Being a typical scorpio he tells me he wants all of me. But how much slower can this go? This has been going on for months. He tells me there is obviously something between us,and he loves all of me. This is just too confusing. I was just shocked at how he could try to cut ties ( even though I've done that several times

This was your first problem. He said "I do not want a relationship" and you seem to be turning that into "he will in time". I point this out because your response "I do not want to rush things" suggests that you are not hearing what the man is actually saying to you.

Second mistake. If you're not in a relationship, why do you expect to be treated as though you are? If you know you need attention and time, "being a Leo", then move onto someone that will give you this. No one is holding you hostage. You??re settling, yet he's playing you? You??re playing yourself.

Hmph. Roll with that because you certainly are not a priority. As well, if this relationship must be a secret, how exactly do you two plan on spending more time together?

Translation: you are demanding too much of our fwb agreement.

Being a "typical Scorpio" he would give all of himself as well. Just sayin'....

You're not the only one that is confused. How did you go from "I don't want to be in a relationship" to love with only a few moments of face to face time (e.g. "once a month if that") and a bit of sex? I believe you already know the answer to the question on your thread.

BTW, "typical(Scorpio) games" and "playing" means exactly the same thing. I'm not sure why you see them as different.

PheonixRising, thank you for your feedback and you are right with what you said. The reasons I was thrown off by the situation was because in a booty call situation you don't express inner feelings with. You don't ask them to go on vacation, you don't talk about your family or take them out on dates. I don't get calls at 11:00 asking me to come over. He even complains about not seeing me and how I seem fine with not seeing him often. I was with him tonight and we did not have sex. We went out to dinner and a show and had a good time. Thank you for pointing out everything, I was choosing not to see.

@capricornmoon Thank you for your earnest response. I appreciate it.

@DMV the contract you posted was unnecessary. Your statement would have been clear enough.

I apologize I "@" DMV but LetitB actually posted the fwb/boootycall contract. Either way it was unnecessary.


PheonixMoonRising, I expected after the conversation where I told him I was no longer interested in something casual that he would leave me alone, but be didn't he came right back. I didn't contact him outside of work and was cordial but not inviting when I saw him at work. He kept going out of his way to get my attention. Generally if you tell someone we are not looking for the same thing, especially if they don't want a relationship with you they would leave you alone. We had that conversation about a month ago and yesterday he told me he felt like I didn't know what I wanted to do, then tonight we're out together.

Sounds like he needed time to think after you had pulled back on the physical. You had been doing that for a while and then suddenly stopped. No wonder he was left confused.

That all or nothing thing can really suck. Especially when you are trying to guard your heart. I know how that is because I've been going through something similar with my scorpio. I have kept to what I believe tho and I made sure that I came to love him and show my devotion when I was ready.

I must be doing something right this time around because he's recently purchased a ring and told me he will be talking to my father (about you know what) this week.
Consistency and sticking to what you believe in really pays off with a scorpio. Be true to yourself.

Hmph. Well, if you give a child a toy and take it away because he's been bad and he begs and begs, does that mean he's suddenly behaving or is he begging because he is testing you to see if you were serious or not? You seem to be making the mistake of assuming that this man is serious, not based on what he has actually said and done to support his statements, but what you would like to see. In other words, if you want/wanted more and he has not demonstrated or explicitly stated he will give you what you want and feel you deserve, all you've shown him is you do not take yourself seriously. Not to mention you have switched seat in the middle of the game. The man said he did not want a relationship. You decided to go a long for the ride anyway (because you heard something different). Now you're upset about it. Moreover you're upset because he is not following your lead...your lead down a path he said he wanted no part of from the beginning.

Since you made that statement to him have you spent more time together? Has anything changed? I am going to assume nothing to very little has changed otherwise you wouldn't have created this thread. So, how does a dinner here and request to take you on vacation there change anything?

As for his statement to you, he's telling you what he sees. You don't seem to know what you want. You've stated you want one thing, he's given you scraps package quite nicely with the right words (e.g. family, vacation) and deflection (e.g. "but we're both busy") and you've accept it. Does that sound like a person that knows what she wants and stands firm behind her words of what she will and will not accept?

Pheonixmoonrising, thank you and you are right. Not much has changed. I was choosing to use little things to see what I wanted and not what he was clearly saying. It just hurts, it's basically saying you're good enough for now but nothing long term. I've accepted the little effort he gives because I like him and he knows it. So now it's time to end this. I should have just allowed it to end when he mentioned it the other day. Thank you for your input.


Tizani, honestly I'm not. He and I weren't having sex on a regular basis. After we had sex and I saw that I wanted more and I was unhappy I had to stop.

PhoenixMoon....lol okay. Understood leolady. Just because this is being implied, doesn't make it your truth. If you know you are good enough for long term, hold true to that and act like it. Best of luck to you.

anyone ever play PayDay?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_Day_% 28board_game% 29

I used to play that game for hours when I was a kid. I toted it around with me everywhere and any sucker I could get to play with me was my hostage for two hours 😄



Never even heard of it... Haven't heard of the chocolate bar either...



Canada! 😛 J/K

it's not chocolate, it's actually caramel covered in peanuts. Yum!!

Well, you're right... It's gotta be because of Canada, haha! Doesn't sound good... Not a peanut fan. Do you guys have caramilk? Now that is yum!
