OK, please help me with the behavior of this scorpio guy. I am almost going insane trying to figure him out.
Here is some background that needs to be taken into consideration: guy is 49 years old, never married, a workaholic professor, very successful and very smart.
I am a 25 year old female, his graduate student, very successful and smart.
Before you lecture me on the older man/younger woman relationship, let me tell you that I don't have a problem with it.
He has developed what you would call feelings for me after he figured out that I had feelings for him. He shakes all over whenever I'm close, has trouble sitting next to me because he gets aroused, talks suggestively, sighs and moans whenever he passes me, and he told me he couldn't sleep. Oh, and he also mentioned the fact that he's not married several times. Problem is, he seems to expect me to make the first move. We haven't seen each other in seven months (we live on different continents and only get to see each other for a certain period each year). I have e-mailed him twice but he never replied to me.
Could someone tell me why this guy is acting this way? Have his feelings been hurt because I didn't make a move on him? Why so uncommunicative when it is clear that I drive him crazy with desire?
What should I do the next time we meet (soon!)? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will you still be his student when you arrive? Are you e-mailing him via his school address? Not only is this generally frowned upon for people in his position, but replying in through the school's intranet could implicate him professionally. Just because he's never been married doesn't mean he hasn't had his fair share of relationships. Maybe he's being cautious for more than a few perfectly understandable reasons. Maybe you should make the first move. It's likely he won't be able to make any move that could jeopardise his job, at least in a public setting. Agreed that age has little to do with love, but as we live in society, we must follow certain conventions lest we offend the wrong person that can't separate morals from ethics.
He's a professor of Art History and no, there are no rules in his country (in Europe) which would prohibit a teacher/student relationship. Besides, we're both mature and not married so it's not like we're harming anyone.
Yes, I too think he is sexually frustrated in some way. He is brilliant and all and very successful, but he doesn't have a sex life as far as anyone knows. The workaholism could be a result of that. I've often wondered whether he was gay, but after his sighs and moans and seducive behavior toward me last year, I know that he is not gay (may be bi, who knows.)
This guy would get aroused and had to go to the bathroom everytime he sat next to me. i swear I'm not exaggerating.
Well, not an art teacher really. Art and Art History are not exactly similar. Anyway, lets say that he is a very sensual and sensitive person. He used to stare me right in the eye but lately had trouble doing so (he is a Scorpio, remember) because his body would shake and he'd start sighing and moaning in front of me. I've also noticed that he has no trouble sitting next to other girls. The funny thing is that he assumes I don't love him. I've told him I adores him but I haven't made a move. Do I have to have sex with the guy for him to know that I love him?
Hey, hey, dear folks, let's not get out of topic here. I'm in serious confusion. I will see the guy again in one month and don't know how to approach the topic. Oh, did I mention I am a Libra? For some reason, I've always gotten along really well with Scorps, both female and male. No Scorpio in my chart though (oops, my Jupiter is in Scorp).
Lotus, find someone your own age. I have nothing again the age factor, but from what you've said about this guy, no...just no. I think you are head over heels, but not in love.

Well, what makes you think he's waiting for you to make a move? Perhaps he is attracted to you, but doesn't think that doing something about it is a good idea, considering the age difference.

I think you have an inferiority complex regarding intellectuality. Of course I am smart and accomplished......I will not hide this. I didn't get into Oxford's PhD program for nothing! And you have no right to talk about my character......you don't know me.
If you can't contribute to a civilized discussion, stay out of it!
