Any news about the Cap guy?
Yes actually! He finally texted on his own...it was just "hi" so I responded "hey" and never heard anything back (that was a week ago) but hey it's a start.

On Sunday I was buying a computer so I texted him the specs and asked his opinion (I had already paid and walked out the door with my computer but I was wanting to reach out to him and it seemed like a cute excuse). We texted back and forth about it for a little bit and then the conversation died.

Last night he texted me randomly and again said he has been wanting to hit me up on his break from work to get dinner but his breaks have been too short for him to bother me. I told him let me know next time he has a longer one and I will be happy to meet up with him.

Then we talked about the weather and I was saying how cold my apartment was and sent him a pic of me burrito'd into my blankets and he said "you're welcome to come sleep next to this furnace anytime" (I used to joke that he was like a human furnace)....and I said "I've been trying to talk to you for two months...all it took was for me to tell you I'm cold?" and he said "Yes. And your face."
So cute. Cap men are such saps underneath it all. Lol
I know. I hate it. I'm a big time sucker for him. I think that despite his shitty behavior and blatant rudeness to me, I know he isn't a bad guy...something just went very wrong for him with our situation. Not sure if it was ego or if I did something that I'm not aware of, but I really would like to find out what made him turn so sour because I swear him being a jerk to me was not natural.
Probably got jealous and you didn't react the way he wanted. Do the logical thing and ask him during a close intimate bonding moment. Be gentle about it though.

Ok gentle...I can do that. I def don't want to come across as interrogating, and I don't want him to think the only reason I wanted to meet up was so that I could have answers or closure.

I wouldn't ask him the first time you guys hang out, these things have to be nurtured.

Remember you're dealing with an earth sign, a CAP, you're asking him to open up and be vulnerable, that's hard. Keep it light, over drinks and good conversation. If he wants to set the record straight he will, I think he still fancies you a great deal, so that may help.
Ok, you're right. But I was hurt too so I will just have to keep it light on all accounts.

Tell him that it hurt you too, when people care they get hurt. So maybe miscommunication played into it, it's good to get it all out in the open. Don't turn it into an argument or set blame, make up and move forward...where ever forward leads you two.

Very true. We def both got hurt and were both a bit brash and probably not comfortable being vulnerable. Would love to have a friendship with him, and I'm sure nothing more would really happen with us, but it would be nice to make amends. Thanks for the advise. Haha me and all these earth men!

the catch here is he spends his weekends?....talking with you.

i dont like to waste my weekends with someone im not interestied in...so the fact that he does that means alot.

also years ago i never spent time during the week with anyone hardly at all.
No I don't really hear from him too much on weekends...
So now it looks like your very confused about what you say and what you remember.

"""No I don't really hear from him too much on weekends..."""

How can you say the above? Your first post said you only talked on the weekends?

This could be the very reason you hear nothing from him during the week. It's not only just that he can see this as I do also. He sees how easy it is for someone to sway your mind and attention from him also (your attention span got averted to a capricorn real easy).

All the posts here in your thread are from scorned females and only 2 (two), of those females posted legit words of wisdom to you.

Perhaps you should ponder the question of do you really like this guy? The answer to that question is a, NO, but if you really did, you would make an a-temp to advert physics for him instead of procrastinating about it.
click to expand

Only thing I'm confused about is your post. I never said I only talk to him on the weekends in my original post. I said we hardly talk between dates. I have initiated conversation with him many times (more than him at this point). Yesterday I texted him a picture of something I had cooked and he responded and was friendly and asked about how my weekend was, etc but he only have takes an interest when I reach out now it seems. I do like him obviously.

The Cap is someone who I have just been seeking closure with for awhile, doesn't mean I'm confused about whether or not I like the Virgo.

I've read that ten times and although profound, I'm not sure I understand

I suppose it means, that if he was having the time of his life with you, he would make more opportunities to have them with you.... OR if not with you, he's not missing out on opportunities to have them elsewhere, which in turn is why you don't hear from him unless you reach out......

BUT, I could be wrong. ...maybe...

No I think that's probably VERY accurate. For all men. I'm writing that down so I remember it. I love it.

I've been called a lot of things, boring has never been one of them....but there's a first for everything!

The last time we hung out we got a little steamy (everything was super PG before that)...and I stopped things from going anywhere near sex, so perhaps he thinks I'm a prude. Not the case, but I didn't want to sleep with someone who is moving and there's no real future with. Oh well.

You mentioned he's 6 years older than you. I don't know too much about this guy, I haven't read your thread thoroughly, but maybe he leads a quiet life. I'm not sure why your dates are only on weekdays, that's a little puzzling.
No real reason, that's just how it has worked out so far. The one time he asked to hangout on a weekend I was out of town and then other weekends his parents were in town (he sent pictures so I know that was the case), or my mom was in town, etc. I'm not too bothered by the lack of weekend dates, it was more the lack of communication that was making me unsure.

Side note, when I sent him the picture of the dinner I cooked last night (we both love cooking), he responded and said it looked amazing or whatever and I typo'd and said "Yeah it was so good we gobbled it up in 3 minutes"....meant to just say "Yeah it was so good gobbled it up in 3 minutes" and he responded before I could correct myself and he said "We? You and the guy you're seeing who you let try your food?"

Had no idea if he was joking, but I have never heard any kind of jealousy out of him so it totally caught me off guard (but I was giggling about it a little). He knows I'm not dating anyone else (no I'm not DATING the Cap) so I'm not sure where this came from as I never mention any other men. Anyway I quickly told him it was a typo, but I didn't really address further that there is no other guy. Not sure if I should have or not, but the conversation carried on regardless. That's literally (by accident) the only sign I've gotten from him that he sort of cares.

In a previous post you wrote: "... if a man wants you, you'll know." I agree, and the way you'll know is that he looks for opportunities or even excuses to be in contact with you, to be with you, etc.

I wasn't thinking you, a Gem, was boring to him, but IMO he's not in hot pursuit either. The elephant in the room is that he's leaving, so he may be looking for indications from you how big a deal to make things between the two of you for what time is left. If he thinks you're holding back, he may think he's got his answer. And that's the thing, people that come in here with Virgo male problems never seem to describe one that IMO is truly hot for them. You could ask him, he's got all of the answers, the rest of us can only speculate.
click to expand

Yes I think I had it right in my first instinct, that he's just not that into me. I don't know why I (and many other women) try to find answers and excuses when we probably already know the answers, but in this situation, I just didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Not all men are the same, and navigating the dating world makes that very obvious. Some men I have dated are very communicative throughout the week and that makes me happy and feel that I have kept their interest, and it also keeps mine. That doesn't mean that when a man DOESN'T do that, that he isn't interested necessarily, but in this case, as you said, he is definitely not in hot pursuit.

For anyone who cares, I have an update on this Virgo situation.

First of all, I will say that I should have trusted my first gut instinct/red flag with this guy, but I somehow forgot it because it seemed so minor at the time. But before our first date I had asked him "how long have you been single?" and he seemed to be a bit defensive but told me it had been a couple months but felt "much longer." And then he asked why I was asking, and I was just honest and said I had met a few men who were very fresh out of relationships and had I realized that initially I probably wouldn't have met up with them to begin with, so I was just asking. And he said "well we don't even know if we like each other yet" or something to that effect (obviously he didn't understand my point). Anyway obviously we went on our first date anyway and it was great.

He really only mentioned his ex in passing like "we broke up because we just didn't get along on a daily basis" (they were just together a year).

Ok so that's the premise now here is the conversation from last night, this is after I did some reflecting (thanks in part to all the advice here) and decided I didn't want to pursue anything further with him for the obvious reason of him moving but also because I became pretty convinced he was just not interested.

He was just asking how my day was and talking about how he has to maintain residency here for his per diem when he moves, etc and how he is raising the rent on his tennant.

Him: It's going to happen so fast (the move). Plus I'm going to be gone for 10 days at the end of the month. I have a ski trip and a week in Florida for work
Me: Wow. Well good luck with everything! I'm sure you'll be busy whenever you come back to visit but if you ever wanna catch up or anything, hope you'll save my number!
Him: I thought we were going to have dinner soon. I'm not leaving yet. You can make soup and I'll watch sports (inside joke between us a bit)
Me: I know...and that sounds amazing but...I may have jumped the gun on that (it was my idea to make the soup) and ignored my logic. I thought I was just looking to casually date around but I think I would actually like to focus on just one person and build something solid. Could see myself getting to like you if you weren't moving, but you are.

***side note here: this was EXTREMELY difficult for me to actually vocalize to a man that I actually do want a relationship. That's not normally something I have been comfortable doing because I was A.) not sure I acutally did want one and B.) didn't want to scare the man. But now that I know for sure I am ready for one, I felt like I should be able to say it. So his response was a bit odd because I don't recall ever saying anything to him about wanting a relationship aside from "I'm just taking whatever the universe gives me" or something to that effect. I made it pretty clear I'm in no rush for marriage and that whole thing.**

Him: I know we really hit it off on the first couple of dates. I know I told you I was ready for something. But when you started talking about you were ready for a relationship I guess I felt I wasn't ready. I haven't taken enough time to reflect on my last relationship. I'm kinda slow at these things. (NO SHIT BRO, that's why I asked that question you got so bitchy about before I even met you).

Me: I Understand. I kind of sensed you maybe weren't all that interested. Regardless, it was so refreshing to meet you and know there are still great guys out there. Really enjoyed getting to know you.

Him: You are amazing btw. You just seem like you are in such a good place. You give off great positive energy. I really like hanging out with you.

Me: Same. Thank you for being honest with me.


And that's that. I feel great about it! I stuck to what I wanted, he was honest, and now I know that it isn't me...I'm living a life that makes other people evaluate their own life. Bravo.

@ashley1734

so now you see by asking him, you got what you wanted...so easy to do.

he is the virgo that will want to date you again. he want forget you.
That's nice to say. I certainly wouldn't forget him either. Afterall, he's the one guy I've dated in the past year who has actually made me realize I am ready for something serious. That says a lot about him (to me).

Interesting how important timing is.

If you're ready and in a good place for it, you can see something in someone that you never would have otherwise.
If you're not in a good place, you might have a perfect match in front of you, but you'll never see it.

Gotta have two people with the same mindset, energy and end goal.

I agree.

If it's meant to be, it will be. Don't worry about it to much.

I wasn't confused at where things were left. He was moving and not ready for a relationship, I said o.k. thank you for being honest, etc. and I thought that was that, but he will randomly text me here and there and I am always happy to hear from him so I respond and then he kinda just trails off again only to text me again a few days or a week later saying hello or asking me how my cooking is going or whatever else.

Perhaps he is just wanting to maintain a friendship, but we never really had one to begin with so who knows.

Have been going on dates with this Virgo guy about once a week and we always have a great time but he never really talks to be in between dates at all. Normally when a guy is interested, he will at least text or call every other day or so just to say hi or goodnight or goodmorning or ask what I'm doing on the weekend, but not this guy.

Our last date was last Friday and I think it went pretty well, but I have hardly heard from him since. I have pretty good instinct, but I found him difficult to read. Is this normal Virgo behavior?

He texted a couple days ago but hasn't tried to make plans with me at all (it's now Friday so I've already filled my weekend with plans).

I'm assuming he's just not interested, but if that's the case I must have read him completely wrong.

Thoughts?
I'm a virgo girl and I get pretty tongue tied/smitten around gemini. If I like them, then I usually like them a whole lot, but I'm never sure on how to approach them...
I like to feel comfortable before jumping in to something. He might just not feel comfortable asking you to hang out, cause idk, like you said, you seem kind of busy with plans.

Virgo can be pretty distant. gemini expect the constant daily chat/checkup.
It's just an opposition of communication (which isn't too surpring, since we both share the same ruling planet and are opposite sides of mercury)

I wouldn't take it personally. If you've been on more than one date and they've been going well, I think, it's safe to say he is into you?
