WTF is this Scorpio interaction? Disclaimer: I am a Scorpio too.

So I was gonna go with this guy to a banquet for an organization we're both involved in. Gonna as in past tense. I'm Scorpio Sun, Scorpio Venus, Sag Mars, Sag rising. He's Scorpio Sun, Scorpio Venus Retrograde, Leo Mars. I don't know his rising sign.

I invited him to a family hangout yesterday. He hits it off with my family, sings and dances with us. Agrees to take a picture, takes said picture. I ask him if I can post it on social media, and I say yes. He posts it on his own social media the next day. We get a bit of social media attention about it. Go back later - notices he specifies I'm a friend in photo caption.

I text him and apologize for any drama the post might have caused. He says it was fine, friends just messing with us. He offers to delete the photo, and he does. Brings up that he's been reconnecting with an old friend and doesn't want to confuse her that he's taken. He specifies they are not dating, but they are talking and growing closer. I delete the picture myself, and offer to take someone else to organization banquet. He says I didn't have to delete the picture, the friend knows we were going as friends.

I push again about taking someone else and he reaffirms that this friend knows we're going as friends. He doesn't want to make it a big deal because people would pay attention more. He says he no longer wants to go. People were making too big a deal about the banquet and he was just going with me to be nice because I asked him. He says to me, "What I don't understand is why all of a sudden when I bring up my childhood friend you don't want to go with me? I'm very confused."

I insist if we go together it will propel the rumors that we are dating. He insists he's made plans already and so we should just stick to them and that when asked he had told people we were just friends. He says we're okay, things would be worse if he didn't go, etc etc. It would create drama he doesn't have time to deal with, and everyone would be blowing up his phone trying to figure out where he's at and what happened. He said it was my choice, then a few minutes later texted me again saying he's decided he's just not going to go. I said it was fine.

He said he would have been fine but I started deleting photos and trying to switch dates on him. He again says he hopes I have an awesome time. I reply that there were a series of miscommunications and he said he's been good the entire time and I should make sure to read his texts more carefully because he said it was fine. He ends the convo and says he hopes I have a great day.

I reply in confusion about whether or not we are still going to the banquet, and give an explanation for trying to "run off," so to speak. He replies that it's fine and we are good. He is single, but has being showing interest in someone, that's all. They've talked but it's not anything serious or even official. He isn't planning on being in a serious relationship for a while due to lack of time.

I again have to ask about banquet and he tells me to go with my female friend who was my first choice for the banquet. He will still go and he will talk and hang out with everyone and it will be fun. I said okay, and he continues on about the fact that he will be there, and reiterates that someone always asks him to these types of events that he's not a fan of but he goes to be supportive and friendly. I add a filler comment, and he replies that he's glad we cleared everything up and tells me to have a good night.

WTF were these twists and turns? I have my own opinion as a similar Scorpio but I'm hoping others will have good input.

It seems, you made it into more than it was and he got annoyed that he had to keep reassuring you things were cool and he was still able to go, so he just decided not to bother.

You didn't have to delete the photo just because he did. He clearly did it because said childhood friend (the girl he was interested in) has access to his social media page and he wanted to make it very clear to her. Words aren't enough with us. As a Scorp I am sure you understand that.

When you deleted the photo it appeared to be for other reasons (only you can answer), making the situation bigger than it needed to be. Asking him if he wanted to cancel again made it bigger than it needed to be. And so down the rabbit hole you two went.

Move on. Enjoy the banquet.

You overcomplicated it and he got nervous.

Agree with the two opinions above.

Girls and their over complicating shit.
