Understanding Scorpio and Libra Compatibility in Relationships

Scorpio men often value deep emotional connections and may have different expectations around gift giving. Your feelings are valid, and open communication can help clarify each other's intentions and expectations. Remember that individual personalities influence behavior beyond zodiac signs. Exploring compatibility can offer better insight into your relationship dynamics.

I am Libra and for the ?st month or so ive been casually dating a scorpio man. We have done the dirty, (but we do other cool stuff too!!). At Christmas here i bought him a present, he didnt get me anything. Im kinda upset by this, am i over reacting? Scopio male input please!

Thanks peeps, he never even gave me a card, and i was kinda embarrassed, and then just plain upset. Im not going to contact him again. Im sure that sounds petty, but i think he?s been a bit nasty for my sensitive Libra soul.

She lives in another city with her new husband. He?s a big enough boy to know better, stop helping him out. He?s a policeman, he knows the law of women (or is that just a bad scorpio chat-up line)!

Then make a point of saying you?re not one who likes to exchange gifts BEFORE someone goes and makes an effort to choose something for you. This is my fist Scorpio association..im not into it at all.

I didnt really like him much, but it would have been too rude to mis him out, it being the season of goodwill etc. Whatever, he?s just not my style , being a Libra and of superior sign.

Personally I don't give gifts expecting one in return, but hey, that's just me. When I give a person a gift it's because I want them to have it, not just some trinket that they're going to throw out. I don't like making empty gestures. That's the Scorp in me.

In a casual relationship I don't feel it would be necessary to exchange gifts. If we hadn't discussed it beforehand and my partner did give me one, I would reciprocate on the spot by taking him out to dinner or something. I think that's the Libra moon in me; always wanting things to be balanced.

I feel Sola isnt that much bothered about the "return" or the "reciprocation" part. She might be linking it to the fact that if someone is caring and considerate then he would definitely think of buying christmas present. Perhaps she feels that she hasnt yet cornered that private place and that can be quite irksome.

giving a gift comes from the heart, i give gifts to people that i care about and like. it doesn't have anything to do with wanting one back...i've had instinces where i bought people gifts and they didn't have anything in return and that was fine because throughout the year they would treat me with respect and care and that's really all that i want.

if someone gives me a present and i haven't bought them anything i just let them know that i'll get it to them later, OR if i can't afford it at the time i'll take them out to eat or something to let them know that i appreciate their generosity.

"what really burns me are the people who compare the prices of the gifts you get them with the prices of the gifts they gave you. doesn't get any more petty than that!"

ya this really bugs me too as it makes you question the sincerity of the gift

Exactly!!! I dont care for any kind of false reciprocation, and it was simply that i felt a bit stoopid. Anyway, its not a petty tantrum, more a justified moan. He came round to my house last night and took me out for a drink..he loves me!

Im absolutely not doing that!! Its not about love, its about tradition and an exchange of tokens. Is everyone here missing the point?? It doesnt matter, the issue is over and we were together for a while last night. Its not over yet!

So tell me loads more about Scorpio men and stuff.

Well as a Libra I would guess you probably have to get beyond purely material things if you want to get gifts.

I dont know..its just that i like him so much already and the past year has been nothing short of a relationship disaster for me!!

I just want advice on what you guys like (i know sex is necessary..he said so himself)!! But i mean some guys need loads of attention and other dont.I dont want to be too much or not enough, you get me? Im not clingy or possessive by nature, and can appear aloof, and i want to avoid this!! Do you think i should at least text every day, or maybe every couple of days..and do you guys like romantic stuff, like staying at home together, or being out in a crowd...etc.

Bla bla bla just follow your instincts and you'll know right away - unless you're playing some kind of game and that's really not a good idea

Just dive in.
Tell him your really f pissed and he should at least take you out. It will be even funnier since you already turned that down.

Nope. I get the point. The social norm is if you care about someone you get them a little something. If you don't and you are dating and shagging on a regular basis, well then ... you are saying something. And you are saying it loudly.

Sola said *** the past year has been nothing short of a relationship disaster for me!!

You and me both sister. Maybe it was a bad year for libra love?

I also get you wanting to know how much is too much, how little is too little. That is the Libra in you wanting to be the perfect lover. Others may not understand the need to be perfect and the need to morph into his perfect vision. You are loving through the mind and loving through the need to change who you are.

You also don't want him to be "the bad guy" so you are trying to change the pain into your problem by declaring it a problem of your high expectation. The problem is anyone would have this expectation.

Anyone with any social grace knows you get a gift for someone you are dating at Christmas time. Even my Jewish friend's will buy something for a non-Jewish person they are dating because they understand that is the tradition and kind of goes without saying.
