Dating a virgo for 10 months. In beginning he was completely smitten, in love open etc. then did a ton of push and pulling, distancing etc. said he was not ready for relationship, very focused on his kid. Understandable. I'm a libra. But then he slowed down being so close still going in and out but still doing action once in awhile. Then yesterday told me he's sleeping around and again not ready for relationship. I was in tears but quickly got my together. He's in my heart but quickly I woke up and said I need to move forward. He always looks for my approval, still criticized me a lot, has gone in and out of playing games...I'm not sure what to think. It's clearly like he's told himself he can't be with me but then once in awhile he'll say powerful clear messages like "I'll catch you" or "I told you the truth" or leads me on for dinners etc. I feel like I failed somewhat bc I didn't in return distance myself enough or was too "easy" and not enough chase but feel like I'm too old for that. I believe he truly cares for me then doesn't display the proper care or treatment on a daily basis. He is special and clearly not ready to settle down. My question do I continue just to be friends even if he was so insensitive? Bc he was always honest with me. Or do I completely let him go? I usually have a clear cut answer and know to move on but something is telling me to just hang tight. Confused! Advice appreciated.

If you're not ready to let go then don't because you won't be able to keep your distance for long anyway, however don't think just because you keep yourself available in his life that you're going to make him change his mind about wanting a relationship. The more you try to be the perfect one and convince him to choose you, the more he's going to be inclined to look elsewhere.

Personally if I've been dating a guy and he told me he doesn't want a relationship, I move on and I certainly wouldn't still want him after he has told me he's sleeping with other women. Obviously he's trying to encourage you to move on because he knows he doesn't feel about you the way you feel about him. So not only should you appreciate his honesty but you should take his words to heart and not become the "crazy ex"

He cares for you?

Honey, he's fucking other women and jerking you around. If he cared for you, he wouldn't be screwing with your emotions. He wouldn't be stringing you along, either. He'd either nip it in the bud or put a ring on it.

...which neither has happened, btw. So wtf do you want us to tell you? He'll magically change and you'll live happily ever after?

Quit making excuses for his shit and move along to a guy who will ACTUALLY treat you like he cares.

He was honest with you..he told you not once but TWICE, he's not ready for a relationship.

After he told you the first time, that was a clue to move on. Apparently you didn't so he had to tell you he was with other women and repeated he's not ready for a relationship. I don't see what there is to figure out here. He certainly didn't do anything wrong. You just refuse to move on.

Thanks everyone! I think everyone has their timing and I think I just needed to finally hear the truth come out of his mouth. Perhaps I'm stubborn or perhaps it's timing but I do finally feel ready to move on and settled in my heart. It's a personal place bc we were friends too and I had to be ready for myself to move on. Life is short, no time for hate. And now that I know the truth I feel settled and ready. It's refreshing.

Denial about what? I love him, he is not ready and treating me right. What am I denying?

They're probably going to go on some victim blaming tirade about how you ALLOWED him to treat you like this, so you get what you "deserve."

...And to an extent, yes you did allow it. But it sure as hell doesn't relieve him of any of his accountability in this matter, either. You're here trying to do something to remedy the situation, so I'm not understanding this finger pointing by the idiot patrol.

The overall point stands that you need to quit being so nice and making excuses and he needs to quit being a selfish asshole. You can't change him from being some manwhore, so all you can do is remove yourself.

It's okay though, there's just a bunch of whiny people on this site who get butthurt when you're upset with someone of their sign. They can do no wrong, so how dare you be upset or point fingers at bad behavior from some trolls who share the same sign??

@rocky: nobody said that. It's fundamental that it takes two hands to clap. I'm simply saying that she did not realize that and expected him to do all the legwork and that she should be the passive one despite her needs and demands expressed here. Men are direct and at some times, dense when it comes to women.

If you aren't going to speak his language sometimes and expect him to read women's minds more than most of the times, then you're clearly not expecting a balanced relationship, but a relation where you are always right. Those are the most frustrating of all for the recipient of such treatment.

It's amazing how someone can just hurl accusations when I've been here long enough for people to see who I am on the forums. I hardly attack anyone unless its a personal attack on me. The person must have its brain lost in a fog.

Libra I have nothing against you and I am enamoured by libran girls the most of all the signs. You must be very lovely but it is clear by what you wrote that you did not voice your concerns to him. No matter what he did, wrong or right, you still did not voice your thoughts to him about it.

Disregard what he did, you came here for thoughts about your situation, now you have them. I won't comment about him because it is your account of him. I'll only say what I can infer from your words of you.

Denial the FIRST time he told you he did NOT want a relationship. You didn't want to accept that, because if you weren't in denial he wouldn't have had to repeat himself a second time and tell you he did NOT want a relationship and have to tell you he was fucking other women to get his point across.

You were saying....?

Mind you, the man told you straight (perhaps a little passively at times) where he was romantically and you kept holding on. Friends, relationship....whatever, if the above is your definition of being treated "right", then have at it. It's all good.

However, the fact that you created this thread suggest you know what was happening wasn't "right".
