I never realized we initiated everything during Mars retrograde, but it makes sense that it's ended now.

he got a new job in the city. 45 mins away. 1 hour and a half during rush hour. at first he was great with maintaining contact. and he apologized saying he was busy with work on the days he ignored me (but later replied).

eventually it got to the point where he wouldn't reply. I remember a Taurus got mad at me for not ever initiating contact with him, so I decided to use that lesson and at least attempt to initiate contact a couple times with this guy.

again, he apologized for lack of contact and explained he was busy with work. I sent him a picture of something I saw in the city Harry Potter related one day (we hadn't talked in awhile) and he sent a picture of him at home watching Harry Potter. it clicked to me that he was clearly "too busy" to initiate any contact with me.

so I decided to run a test (not really since it really didn't require much except no contact), and I didn't initiate contact with him at all. over a week went by and he initiated nothing.

I'd say it's easy to see that this was/is going nowhere, so I've deleted and decided to cut all contact.

ironically enough, the last guy I was involved with on and off for 2 years came crawling back after Mars retrograde. he's taken me on dates (which was unheard of for him) and is much more receptive to me now. he's an Aqua/Cap moon/Cap asc.

I will take the Mars retrograde guy as a lesson, though I didn't learn much since there were no problems lol. I guess if it's a lesson it's just that people come and go. nothing pivotal happened for it to just end. it just did. it helped me learn to just let go and walk away. he will never hear from me again, and I'm sure I won't hear from him again either. it is obvious to me that I was not a priority.

I must admit I'm a bit bummed, because I was blindsided. I didn't see the end coming at all, and I can't fathom what happened to where he wouldn't like me anymore. our connection was great, and we always had fun. he, at first, was very mentally stimulating too. that died with time also.

having a Scorpio Venus with Aries Venus tendencies (because of my first house Venus and Aries descendant) is not ideal. wasn't ready to be blindsided...I was already in it for the long run mentally. oh well! on to the next. at least I have this other guy who returned. maybe he will be more serious. he already seems to be, but it could just be an act. only time will tell

Did you ever tell the guy you were done with him? Or did you just delete him?
I eluded to it. I could tell he wasn't going to address it, and for christs sake I'm a Libra rising so I dread addressing it. however, this is what I said.

"sorry if it seems like I've been overwhelming at all. I'm going to leave you alone. good luck with the new job. I'm happy you had this opportunity and hope it grows to much more!"

it was kind of recent. no reply yet

Some relationships just fade. Especially when it's not really a "relationship". I doubt you were to blame for anything; sometimes it's just...inconvenient, and the draw isn't strong enough to override that.

No worries, it happens to everybody.
🙂

hope you've been well!

yes it happens. I think it would've been hard for him realistically. he has that job in the city. I'm here, near his home, but I know when I travelled to the city for work it was a nightmare. I hated the commute and slept a lot. but I always made time for friends.

overall I get it. it's a bit of a bummer, but at least I have it in my memories. they were all good ones overall. I can't say I regret it, that's for sure.

life works in mysterious ways.

now my old grinch is back instead. (the Aqua/Cap moon/Cap rising). he has a lot of similarities to the grinch. lmao. but hey, I mean he's pretty consistent. given the Aquarius nature. and all of his hard moon and Venus aspects. I'm surprised he still talks to me at all.

funny how the timing worked on that.... I didn't think he'd come back at all.

I'm more so excited to graduate and move away from this area to avoid the people here. 😛 as sad as that sounds, I'm more excited to be around new people and new experiences instead of the same old things.

Maybe he thought he was ready to get involved but them changed his mind.

Happens alot.


so very true.

it's strange how it works, but I guess I don't have much of a choice besides accepting it.

he does have his moon opposite Uranus, so it's believable 😛

this is super late, but he ended up eventually replying to ask if something was wrong. then it goes as follows (copy and pasted):

me: "I wouldn't say that anything is "wrong" per se. I'd say I sense that there is a growing divide between us, but that is life. I do understand it happens. I was a bit blindsided but know it's better to gracefully accept things for the way they are instead of causing an uproar"

him: "I don't wish it to happen but you're right it's happening. Like honestly I wish it wouldn't. But my free time has been eliminated. I don't even talk to any of my friends anymore. I just don't want to even pull out my phone to do anything on it :/"

me: "all I really have to say is I understand. time is arbitrary. we use what we have of it on what we want to. it's all a choice, but I do know working in the city is an adjustment because I did it. you don't have to wish it wouldn't happen, because it IS happening and nothing is being done to change or work with it. that's just life I suppose. I wish you the best"

him: "Same to you :/"

me: "there's no need to be sad. if you ever find the time, I'll probably be around. I really did miss you"

him: "Ditto 🙂 I'll have to let ya know"

me: "definitely 🙂 hope to hear from you again sometime"



the matter of fact is, I probably won't be hearing from him again seeing as he had ghosted me for a week and rarely saw me since June really...it just wasn't looking very...hopeful. but I preferred ending it on a positive note with the doors open that way it made it less of a brutal blow to either of us really. it kind of helped slowly force me into realizing it was time to part. for him, it wasn't a blatant, psychotic confrontation...so he probably appreciated that. this way, it worked out peacefully for both of us to part ways with no animosity toward one another. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I feel much better despite really hoping that it would work out before.

I don't think you are his girlfriend.🙂
nope! I wasn't. that's why it was my "relationship hopes". at first it was really headed towards that until he got a new job that was farther away.

never claimed to be his gf at all! I just get really high hopes. I dive right in hoping for the best, but then it catches up with me. I learn a lot from my experiences though, so it's not all that bad.

ok. Well, just a tip.

Scorpio men don't like women who keep initiating.

They like women who are hard to get, Have a standard, Well disciplined women who are not flirty type.

...and they are very picky. The double standard is really annoying but they are born naturally just like that.

The best revenge. Do not contact him. Scorpio loves mystery and it triggers a lot.

and above all aim high. Scorpio loves ambitious competitive women. Knowledgeable. Smart. Tough.

Wish you luck ahead. :>(

lmao! I am the Scorpio. he was an Aquarius 😛

I HATE INITIATING!!!!! I always think the male should be the initiator! but I learned from a fall-out with a Taurus man (mentioned in my original post) that refusing to ever initiate isn't the best remedy.

he had a Gem Venus/Aquarius Mars. an airy guy in love but earth dominant. he told me that the concept of the "male texting first was bull. if two people are interested, neither of them should care about being the first to contact".

I'm still pretty stubborn and prefer the male to initiate contact...hence why I was really hesitant about initiating with this guy...but in my heart I know the Taurus was right. actually because I DIDNT initiate with the taurus is why he lost interest. I try to remember never to make the same mistake twice, so I carry his lesson with me.

here...my lesson was to let go but in a way that wasn't odious.

I just wrote this on the Scorp board sharing my own Scorpy experiences. I don't think I'd ever date a Scorp.....ever.

I love my air and fire signs too much!

hahaha. sorry my bad. I am lost.

well, Aquarius and Scorpio - not good match.


it's okay. I'm very confusing in general

my brain is all over the place. forgive me and my Mercury retrograde (and Neptune in the 3rd). we lose ourselves sometimes 😛

yeah....this is true, but these Aquarians come knocking on my door to no end!! especially third decan Aquarians. the Valentine's Day babies love me...until they get too close. then they're like "hmmm maybe I don't like you" 😆

after this Aqua left, and old Aqua of mine came creeping back. both of them were born on Valentine's Day ironically enough...just different years.

*sigh* the Valentine's Day curse must go on

not all scorpio men are the same. you know this, it depends on their personal planets ect.

some love amibiotus, competitive women, and some don't.

a lot care deep down on loyalty and don't be flirty and yes there are double standards all the time.

as for the women, what I've seen in real life, scorpio women that I know are not interested in super ambitious men either.

my husband's cousin married a plumber, (he wasn't one when they dated but going to school) and the other scorpio woman I know long ago, married a handy man. (like a carpenter) they all have a scorpio stellium I notice.

edit - my aunt too, from my uncle who married her, she is libra/scorpio cusper, on the scorpio side, and she married my uncle who is a construction worker, and it depends on the workload he gets, sometimes he has no work, and sometimes he does, it's up and down. these women have a lot of scorpio, some libra placements, and leo, and the one married the plumber is a cancer moon.
