I've been reading posts here for several months. Typically, I'd read about 25 posts and forget about the website altogether for a few weeks and hit it up again. (first-post today) july,13. male. I've read some interesting things here. =]

I've never been much for stereotypes, but after researching general personality characteristics of the signs I can't ignore the consistent exactitude.

I fell off the virgo-boat (was kicked & pushed rather) about a year ago now.
Imagine melted velvet chocolate with rose pink petals.
NOW imagine a screaming punching pile of elephant poop with cactus stickers.
(the extreme best of times right along with the worst)

I'm not saying this to offend anyone. I know we're all different flavors, and I'm glad for it, but virgo + cancer was recipe for diaster. Generally, I'm the quiet easy-going, ride-the-wave type of guy that likes to sleep a little late, spend time outside during the day with a late-night movie. She, on the other hand, would generally wake up 30 minutes before me (in and out of the shower and dressed in 10 flat) ready to take on the day.

Let it not be overlooked that I certainly contributed a share of interruptions due to an array of frugal (yet time-consuming) business-ventures. I'm not even sure what I'm getting at, but I miss her a lot. Obviously, there's a lot more to this, but it's right here for the now. You don't know me, and I damn sure don't know you.

Was I expecting too much? Is it REALLY my fault things didn't work? Is it for the best that things didn't work out? I couldn't take many more of those irrational name-calling, foot-in-the-groin bar-fights over something I have absolutely no control over.

There's a kid involved. We were both hysterically excited after it was confirmed at the clinic. I got the boot less than a week after that.

I figure when the woman doesn't answer your phone calls, reply to your short "hello, how are ya. i miss you" messages left on the machine, acknowledge that she accepted anything that you've mailed her & the baby, or acknowledge your very existence when you're sitting face-to-face it can't be too much of a good thing.

Anyone else out there suffering like me? It's screwing with me bad. Me and this other guy hit heads pretty hard at work and I lost my 9-5 a week ago. If anything, it would be nice to have someone to throw messages back & forth with.

I laughed when I read about virgo women reading romance books and cleaning. She was really great and I thought we got along well, but when they strike that match you'd better head for the hills. God knows I tried to make it work.

I don't think you can just say - it was a sign thing with what happened to you and your friend. Sometimes other things come into it. The maturity of a person, their other experiences that they may have experienced. I don't think your being a Cancer and she being a Virgo come into play with this. Some times it's just basic incompatibility and expectations - I am sorry that you were hurt with this.

Hi Friday.. welcome to the boards.

Did you and say all the right things? Probably not. You've even admitted as much.

Was the woman you were involved with irrational and unfair? Maybe so. But if she was- why did you like her so much? Why do you miss her now?

Is it because she was a virgo and you're a cancer? Absolutely not.. and why dwell on the stereotypes if you don't buy in to them?

Perhaps it always feels better to bounce your ideas and issues off of other people, so you can gain perspective- so here's mine: focus on bonding with your child. If she doesn't reply to your, "hi, how are yah.." messages- then maybe she'll respond to a court order. It's your child, too. Of course, you don't have to resort to extreme measures- probably, with time, she may seek your help and attention with the baby... but if not-- by all means necessary- time for you to step up to the plate and be a dad. SO put your differences aside and get to know the babes. If the relationship is over between you and the mom.. so be it.

Best of Wishes.

Hey Hey Hey

My mother is a Cancer/Leo cusp and my father is a Virgo and they have been married for 26(?) years, still make goo-goo eyes at each other.

I have a theory, not to undermine the integrity of your lady-love but do you think that possibly she might be pregnant by another man? Or thinks she might be pregnant by another man? You might want to investigate that...
