I'm a 24 year old Taurus with an Aries moon, Scorpio rising, Venus in Taurus and Mars in cancer. Anywho I've never had much luck with the ladies, or being very social in general. There's a Scorpio I've met at one of my jobs and I could tell from as far back as few months ago that she was into me, tho the feeling wasn't really mutual. (This happens quite often) Over time however I've grown more attracted to her and stopped being turned off by the fact that she's only 20 and maybe a bit materialistic. So for the past month I've been trying to find a way to get her number and take it somewhere. Last week I made some progress. I suggested we do something over the weekend and took her number, it was much easier than I thought, especially for someone like me, tho I feel like most of that was her doing. Anyways Friday I ask her what she's up to and suggest we hang out ad possibly go somewhere. She says she's working but wants to after. I'm excited and terrified all at once. I can honestly say this is really the first time I found myself in this situation from something that was real and not someone I met on an online dating site. Any who she gets out of work and says tonight won't happen and reschedules for Saturday because she's off. Understandable, especially since it was 1 degree out.. I agree. Come Saturday, I talk to her and make plans, well she ends up not showing again. And doesn't say she isn't till I ask her at 10pm if we were still meeting up. Twice now. Here is my usual automatic stop sign. If there's one thing I hate it's when people waste my time. There is nothing more valuable than time and I loath when people toy with mine. Sunday at work everyone asks me what's wrong, I was pretty bummed and it obviously was written on my face but of course I give a straight face and say I'm fine, my two favorite words. So I'm working Sunday night and she texts me and asks me if I want to hang out. I think to myself really? I've already been had twice do I leave myself open for a third time. I still wanted to see her to see where it could go so I agree and what do you know she actually showed up. We talked for a long time and got to know each other a lot more. And we must've made out for the last hour she was there till she went home. So I think to myself maybe something's here after all. That day we talked about hangig out again today as we're both off from work. I talk to her early and she says she'll come by a bit later on. I enjoy my day off and get some thing

I've been meaning to do done. As it gets later and later I start to wonder when she'll come by, so by 9:30 I ask of she's still coming by tonight and she said no. I said ok and she says sorry. I don't ask for a reason, I feel like it's not my place. Anyways right now I don't plan on asking her to do anything again and I'm leaving it in her hands. But as far as moving forward even if she does show interest in spending time together I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into. If I'm one of a few, or if things are going on that are legitimate reasons to say one thing and then do another but I know I don't like it, especially with how fragile I am. And my mind tells me to stay away. But I'm not really sure where I'm at or where we could go if anywhere. I spend most of time staying in practicing my guitar because I will be an amazing musician, she likes to go out and party, from the start even before I felt some interest I questioned the possibility. But I do not like someone who says something and doesn't follow through and doesn't give me a heads up when they aren't going to either. A part of me wants to see what could be here and another part says leave it alone. What do you guys think? Btw I understand I may be making a lot out of a little but anything is a lot in my world because it usually consists of nothing 🙂 I'm interested in hearing what you guys have to say.

I have had a similar experience with a scorpio girl I met. I asked her out and we made a date. Anyway the night came for our date and I texted her and she says "sorry ladybug I can't make it". I'm like what ever. It didn't start a lot of drama and we kept on talking and like a week later she suggested we go do hot yoga together and I'm like okay. Well, as I expected she didn't follow through with that either, so whatever. By then i'm just thinking wow this girl is weird. I mean she honestly is a pretty nice person she just makes all these plans that she doesn't keep. Its probably just because she has her own issues that take up a lot of time. Just don't let it bother you, such a person is like the waves.

If your going to set boundaries just do it straight up but not harsh. The next time she wants to do something just ask with a little chuckle and a point of your finger if she's serious or not.

Scorpios and their games... ooooooh I could never figure one out even enough to go on a first date lol They show extreme amounts of interest, but when it comes to finally meeting in person they DIP! WITH EVERY SCORPIO I'VE TALKED TO!! Great people as friends, but of my own experiences, I definitely know I'm not meant for scorpios. Guess it's my strong fire chart energy that they pick up on and get turned off by? meh, THEIR LOSS! 🙂

Ive done it. My thinking has usually been I don't trust this person...I dont want to be probed, i dont want to reveal myself, i dont want to talk. A combo of those things lol I prefer solid earth as well. The earthy signs dont get rattled by quietness and are very open and honest to gentle probing.

On my work break, she's scheduled to be in in two hours so I should see her, just going to act normally. I'm definitely not pursuing anymore and if she does try to suggest we hang out again I'm going to state how I feel about my time being wasted like you guys said. I also want to keep my personal life outside of work, so should be interesting

It's a balance we need strong men but not over top wanting to get in fights n despise push overs.
That's why I think earth is the strong silent type which I tend to be attracted.
Never tried water but fire no go to showy for me

I'm a silent type, not sure if strong always go with silent. I'm not physical strong but mentality perhaps.
