Do any of you remember that Scorpio guy I was asking advice on? For our first date? Well things have been good we've been "hanging out" (still no moves have been made). Turns out he isn't much of a conversational texter, sometimes when I'm lucky I can get a lot out of him but normally he just likes to check in on me throughout the day. He invited me to a party at his work (which I couldn't attend) but when our schedules finally matched the next week we hung out three times. He then asked me to his place and I was like YES finally, maybe he'll try something. But not only did he not attempt a thing, he sat on the other side of the room so even I couldn't try anything! We talked a lot, he made me coffee and offered to make me dinner. Regardless of there being no physical contact we still had a lot of fun. I decided to invite him out for New Years, it was last min so I kind of knew he couldn't come but got a short response saying he was out with friends and to have a good night. That was all. No attempts to make another date, no happy new year, that was it. To be fair he is generally short with his texts, but this one felt like he was done and I haven't heard from him since, it's been a week. Radio silence. Went from frequent communication to nothing! Anyone have a clue what maybe happening? I have heard of the Scorpio disappearing acts but I felt like things were going very well and isn't the relationship a little young for that? Don't know if I should reach out in attempt to reconnect or to just leave it alone and move on.

I do that. Frequent communication to nothing thing. I disappear on people sometimes. It's not about losing interest tho. I will be as interested in you once I come back. I just need a time off sometimes. I don't expect anyone to wait on me tho.I appreciate those who do.But I never had anyone leaving.Wait till he comes back if you can or want to. Or maybe just ask him without seeming needy/clingy.

Do you know how long it might take him to come around?

Disappearing act could be lost or losing interest.


Do you think it would be a good idea to reach out? Don't want to bother if that was his way of telling me he's done
Reason I said let him be is cause if he's interested he'll be chasing you not the other way around advise given is what I would do in a situation like this.

Thank you! I appreciate it I'll just let it go and see if he comes around.

Umm.. I can only talk about myself here. I disappear for days to months sometimes. But this only happens when I've got other things to deal with..even emotions sometimes.

I've done it on females I had not that much interest and relentless with the ones I'm interested in.

Relentless meaning you REALLY make them wait? Lol

I see thank you for the insight. He's generally very busy with work. It's also hard because he doesn't like to talk much about himself like I said when I'm lucky I can get a lot from him but over text that's very hard. I think I'll leave it alone, if he wants to see me he will ask right? I was with a Pisces last and he played a lot of mind games with me ok hoping this is not the case

I don't know if it is a Scorpio trait, but for me, if I am not talking to you on a consistent basis, then I am bored with you.

Now I am not a "I need to call and have my phone on me at all times!" type of person. I dislike the phone because it just means its another way for people to track me down and bug me. But if I actually care about you, I will make the conscious effort of texting you a few times a day, and making a call a day or two. If I don't care, I see the text, and don't respond to it until I feel the need to. That could be a day later or a month later depending.

Yeah...once I come back, I do reach out usually. This is nothing related to mind games really. As I told, I disappear only to deal with things. But again ofcourse I can't talk for him. Goodluck ๐Ÿ™‚

If I disappear I'm nearing the end but that's just me.

Thank you for your advice! Seems like it's best to just let it go. I don't want to invest my time and feelings into someone who already decided they do not feel same.

He definitely isn't the type to have his phone out all the time. I've noticed him set it to silent or tuck it away when we are out he focuses on the people he's with. I take it it's best to leave things be and not reach out, it seems as if he doesn't care to make the effort than I shouldn't invest any hope into him. Such a shame seemed as though it was going pretty well, very charming guy!

There's gonna be a lot of actions nikkistars comment is spot on cause that's something I'd do.
Def seems right then! Sounds like he was interested suddenly had a change of heart I suppose. It happens. I guess as I said it would be best to let it go. My last relationship was a Pisces and he would do this to hurt me, but as soon as I would message him he would be back. Was wondering if this was the same stunt but it appears that he's just over it. Lol it was a good couple of weeks while it lasted haha

I can tell you this, there are times where I just go AWOL for several weeks for no other reason than because I don't want to talk to anyone. If that makes you feel better.

Hahaha well maybe it does. It's hard to say. What I struggle with is going from 10-0 so fast. Though I did find it very odd he never tried to make a move of any sort, I seemed to have a very strong emotional connection with him, also found him extremely attractive Hahahaha. Wish I could have a straight "I'm not interested in you anymore" so I wouldn't hold onto any hope but I think this is as close to that as I'm going to get hahaha!

That crap about " let him chasing you" is this high school / college again ? If we are adult , I won't be doing the chasing method no thanks . If you like her , tell her , if you don't , then I won't be waiting around .

Those disappearing acts and expecting that the other person is going to be there is truly childish and disrespectful . I mean , people who "disappears" make me lose interest .

I also understand the " busy with work " situation and if he doesn't really talk by text how do you expect to have a real communication .

From what I have seen with scorpios , they tend to like " self sufficient " people so do you . Don't wait for him , live your life , mingle , date around . If he decides to "show up " and you are still interested ok , but otherwise don't wait .

And most importantly if he appears to be flaky don't accept it !

I just feel like playing games is a bit silly? If we like each other then let's do something about it it doesn't mean jumping into a relationship / bed with each other. I feel like this is also a turn off for me too. I appreciate straight forward honesty, I know it's not the easiest thing but it doesn't leave things muddy! Also I feel like it's not that hard to type someone a simple message, even a just "thinking of you" you know? I know he's busy i wouldn't expect a full on conversation.

Water men in general are moody and touch and go. I've dated four Scorpios and every single one eased back off within the first six weeks of dating after pursuing very hard at first.

Because I am rather impatient and bossy, I normally try and address when they disappear immediately. I bluntly ask questions about what's up. They say nothing is up, everything is fine. Normally I have to lay shit out at that point, specifics about changes in their communication and effort, and then reassure them that I'm not angry but that I'm also not stupid. Let them know that I care enough to ask and I can give them space, they just have to be adults about their feelings and ask for it. and I sure as hell won't tolerate unclear communication or being left wondering.

It's a high risk/reward move though. One Scorp I was with for five years, another one and off sporadically, one out and out ghosted me and the forth one I'm still seeing casually, he came back around after our talk. Also a week is pretty far out, all of my conversations I let two days tops go by, just because it's easier to address an issue when it's fresh.

I don't disagree with letting it drop either though. If it really is just personal and not having to do with you you'll hear from him again. It's a real bummer when you feel like you connect and someone gives you the full stop. But everyone has their own dating history and baggage so there's no telling what his reasons are, you could also be dodging a bullet lol.
Are you a cappy as well? I feel like "impatient and bossy" are things I identify with as well ? Lol! I can't stand being left wondering which is one of the reasons why im here in the first place. I mean I feel like being away like this without communication is a little disrespectful to the person whose receiving it. I think you're right this may be a good sign to let it go. This isn't exactly something I would enjoy dealing with long term!
