Idk why you deleted the other post because you could have continued from there. But my suggestion is the same. Make sure you know yourself well and what you want and that can help you narrow it down better. Spending some time alone might really benefit you if you skip from relationship to relationship. Once you know what you want, dating might become easier because you won’t spend as much time on people who aren’t aligned with your specific wants and needs. You have to remember that a very small percent of men are going to mesh well with you in particular. The specifics are always different so keep dating and I’m sure you’ll come across someone who meets that criteria for you. If you don’t know yourself well or what you want, it’ll be a lot harder to find that because you don’t know what you’re looking for. Give it time and patience.

My uncle is a Scorpio and broke up with my aunt when he went off to war because of the distance and not knowing if they could weather it. He even almost married another woman in Korean but ended up coming back to my aunt. Just know nothing is set in stone. If you love someone and they reciprocate, you’ll both do whatever you can to make it work. I’m still looking for a man who makes me feel like my Scorpio ex. I know I found it once so it is possible. Even if it isn’t him, it’s out there somewhere. Yours is out there too.... it just takes time and effort.

If you haven’t dated a Libra or Virgo yet, those would probably be good to dabble in since you’ve already seen some reasons why you don’t like some of the other signs. Just try to understand no two sun signs are necessarily the same either. Just learn to spot the red flags early on.

I didn’t know how to edit the topic so I deleted it.

I think that I know myself too much to the point where it’s getting difficult to find what I need, maybe I should just go with the flow and accept guys as they’re!! I don’t know... I’m all over the place.

I don’t actually jump into relationships, I was depressed after the breakup for almost two years, but I had to move on, especially when I’m alone in foreign countries.

I just go out when guys ask me, I don’t lead them on, that’s why when I’m not feeling the spark I tell them let’s be friends, but they insist on making things official just to figure it’s not going anywhere after couple months.

Also I don’t know about the ex Scorpio, he text and call me every now and then, ask me about my life and if I need anything, but I don’t know if we can ever be together again he just gave up on me so easily, broke my heart as if it was nothing, I loved him to the point where I can’t be with anyone else still after 6 years since the breakup.

If he calls u n texts even now it’s still there. He didn’t give up on you. I’m fact he set you free so you can make ur dreams come true. We never like to hold back our love ones. But if u still feel it tell him

Most people don’t understand us n think it’s giving up when we love too much n set you free always hoping you’d come back once u discovered yourself or reached goals. We see it as selfish to have u give that up

I don’t understand how’s that possible, I told him to come with me but he chose to let me go instead... I can’t tell him I still love him... what if he turned me down? Maybe he wanted to explore more because we were together since 14/15 I don’t know why he did what he did, all I know is that him leaving me really traumatized me.

This is nothing horoscope related, but don’t you think asking your LTR partner to move to a different country, with a completely new culture/home/job/etc. seems drastic?

Scorpio’s are some very dedicated partners, but when you’re asking for that much from you man ofc he’s going to pull away. You’ve set up unrealistic expectations there.

I thought it was sort of an unspoken understanding... I mean we went to look at engagement rings and his family was coming to ask for my hand!!!!

Isn’t that what long term relationships / marriage all about?!

Couples explore, experience and grow together?

What’s unrealistic about that ?

You are not thinking of the financial, emotional and other burdens that comes with moving to another country. All you’ve told us is how well you two connect and talk to each other, rose-coloured glasses and all. You didn’t mention anything about each other finances, how he feels about travelling and living in another country and so on ...

Hence, the unrealistic expectation.

Plus what’s not to say you two separate in the new country you moved too? Who’s at the bigger loss here? I’d actually consider it a relief that you two separated prior to you moving, because it could’ve been worse for him had he followed.

A ring and family coming in to ask for your hand means nothing, cause I’ve seen relationships fall apart between fiancés, and other couples literally 2 months before their wedding.

Rose coloured glasses?!!!

I am not a teenage girl or in my early 20s, in college and only care about “ the chemistry” and “ the spark “

And I know a ring and the family is nothing and I know there are people who get divorced after years of marriage let alone engagement while they still love each other their relationship isn’t working!

He’s a software engineer and had been working for three years at that time, I emailed companies for him to know if they’d hire him with that type of visa and qualifications and they said yes he just need to pass the English test with a certain score, which is not impossible, I would’ve helped him!!

I got a paid internship which means an income plus some savings assuming the worst case scenario that he doesn’t find a job we can still live with that and of course the spouse gets visa and benefits and is allowed to work, I contacted everyone schools, companies, embassies and asked about everything for both of us!!!

We’ve talked about moving and living abroad when we were friends and when we were dating too we spent hours talking, hanging out and dreaming about our future together !!! Moving to California and him starting his own software company and having his own team!!

It wasn’t a new idea at all, he knew about it and was excited and even encouraged me to apply and go, but I don’t know what happened to him, why he just flipped and decided to give up on us, maybe he changed his mind, got scared or nervous or simply didn’t want to leave but anyway he decided to break up with me without even talking about it, and kept acting like nothing ever happened was what hurt me the most.

I don’t think I’m selfish or unrealistic at all because if I were I wouldn’t have thought about him and included him in everything and my future plans!

Damn ... if he didn’t even put in half the work and effort on getting stuff done for moving to another country, that was your biggest clue. He may have sounded excited at first talking to you about it, but actions speak louder than words.

Pisces who were unemployed, drank too much and blamed everyone else for their problems. ( all 3 said they were not where they wanted to be in life at the time, lived at home and were dating instead of looking for jobs ) asked me out and wanted me to pay for dates and one of them wanted to marry me and move in too.

just curious... did all 3 pisces asked you to solely pay for the dates?

and the other one who wants to move in just don't wanna pay rent?

i've known 2 pisces guys like this... very cheap, used me for money like i'm kinda surprised actually that they have that nature but i guess it makes sense when they're unemployed but idk like the guys i'm talking about aren't even really unemployed but they keep a really tight fist on their money.

You seem intelligent and witty. The reason you are hung on your last love, is because you didn’t find a new one. Your instinct to find one is spot on.

Carry on dating and have fun with it. Have you tried a dating site where you can do the picking? Go for whom you like and get to know how they tick even before you meet them irl. The pre-selection process is quite important.

I think you need to learn to be single and enjoy you.

She's been single for 5 years. You don't think she's done that at this point?

Yeah exactly!!!

I don’t know how everyone thinks I’m dying for A relationship and desperate for men when they’re the one asking and they’re making things official not me!!! Even when I tell them I’m not ready!

I’ve been on blind dates for real! Like a friend’s bf or husband brings his buddy to hang out with me without me knowing anything!! I had no idea I was on one.

I mean even the guys knew I was single and fine how did that appear thirsty!

I said I’ve been single for almost 6 years, I am single!!

It seemed like a long list but was in 6 years a couple months each and they called it official relationship and they Ended when it didn’t lead to sex!

Please. Again, you're not taking accountability here. It's everyone else's fault.

You're a real selfish piece of work, here.

You up and move from the guy who wants to marry you. Here he is, ready to start a life with you and you flip the script and want to move internationally. Most people are not down for that. You go on about how he broke your heart, but you equally broke his.

You're willfully dating guys who want more than you're willing to give. Yet when they push, you go along with it and then cry foul when things tank or they end up being crazy. "Well, I just went along with it, but it's not my fault!" The most powerful word in your vocab is "no" and you aren't using it. Do NOT complain when you don't do anything in your best interest.

This is the biggest issue with people pleasers- they are the most untrustworthy and selfish people you can come across. You go along with whatever people tell you do to because YOU want to look good in their eyes and be agreeable. You can't look bad to other people, oh no! So you just do what they say. But when things go wrong, it's never your fault and you quickly finger point because you just did what THEY said. You have zero free will!!! It's all their fault!!

"Why am I still single?"

Because you date bottom of the barrel assholes that people shove on you and you go with it so you don't look bad in their eyes. How can any sane person expect results from that approach in life?

You left a guy to go travel, which, there's nothing wrong with per se. But don't act like a beaten, betrayed puppy when you gave him a pretty shitty list of options in order to keep you. "Wah, he left me. I thought he loved me!!!" Yeah, and I'm sure he thought you loved him but then decided you wanted to go focus on you and travel- which again, isn't bad per se. Everyone should do this at some point in their life. BUT you can't expect to do that when you have LTR and not have negative consequences as the end result.

You're single because you're immature and still have some growing up to do.

Stop dating.

Figure your shit out.

Go back to therapy because this people pleasing shit isn't healthy.

Relax...

Are you a certified therapist to tell me I need therapy and ignore my therapist advice! or you’re talking from YOUR own personal experience?!!

Because you sound like you have so much issues and anger you wanna take out on me.

You started off fine but to call me selfish and not taking responsibility for my actions!! When did I blame anyone else for me being a people pleaser?!!!

Yes they pressured me but I should’ve said no!! I own it, and just because I wanted to pursue my career somewhere else which we’ve talked about earlier doesn’t make me selfish, and I didn’t say anything about giving him a list to keep me!!

Also when did I say my life is shitty or miserable ? Romance and dating is one part of people’s lives not their whole life!! Which I assume you know!! Because you’re single and don’t mind enjoying your OWN company!!

Just because I seek insight in one part doesn’t mean I’m living a terrible life.

If you have problems with people who were born under my sign it’s okay, but to start creating scenarios about people’s lives, fill in the blanks and act like a therapist that’s crazy.

Seems like I’m not the one who need to focus on herself and her personal growth and seek therapy!

The only crazy one here is you, sweetie.

Apparently I was venting and accidentally posted the first time so..

I went on the worst date this past weekend and I’m feeling so down right now, I really want to know if it’s like this for everyone or just me!

I’m 27 and been single since I was 22, the only long term relationship I had was with a Scorpio, we were together for 8 years in total.. friends in school then lovers.

He was so sweet, warm, loving, attentive and affectionate, he never pressured me to do anything I felt uncomfortable doing, he never disappeared or made me question his feelings or actions, I even told him that I was ready to lose my virginity to him but he wanted me to be sure and do it according to our culture, we were about to get engaged but he broke it off when I told him I wanted to pursue my career abroad, he didn’t want to move with me so he decided to let me go ( which he never really did to this day ).

My heart was shattered and I’ve never felt loved again, no other guy in 6 years and 3 countries made me feel like him again.

I had many short term relationships in those years ( 5 months longest ), nothing serious and I’m getting so frustrated and depressed.

I have attracted so many Scorpios but were all the same intense, controlling, players and too rigid, not willing to compromise.

I dated emotionally unavailable, know it all bulls, a Capricorn who turned out to be married with 3 kids, another cap who took me out and stayed silent the whole night!

A 40 something Gemini who lied about his age ( said he was 29 and looked young) he slept with escorts when I told him I’m not ready for sex, then sent me videos of him doing the act.

Pisces who were unemployed, drank too much and blamed everyone else for their problems. ( all 3 said they were not where they wanted to be in life at the time, lived at home and were dating instead of looking for jobs ) asked me out and wanted me to pay for dates and one of them wanted to marry me and move in too.

I talked briefly to a cancer who was too sensitive and wanted me to initiate everything, and pick out dates ( on budget) then he cancelled our date when I said something random about a celebrity that he took personal, I blocked him because he made me feel like a lesbian.

Another cancer who created an excel sheet of everything he spent on our dates from gas to flowers and asked me to pay him back after refusing to have sex with him.

Aries and Sagittarius were too immature in their late 20s - 30s and the type that ends every sentence with a giggle, lol or lmao at the most inappropriate time even when we’re talking about death and loss... they all had disappearing tendencies for weeks!

Aquarius was cold distant and all about himself, I wasn’t important at all, my dreams, goals and emotions were all classic, boring and invalid !

It was always about him, his schedule and goals.

I went on a date with a Leo this past weekend and he talked about his ex non stop and how he did everything for her and she cheated and left him... when I got home I texted him that I don’t feel us together... he got pissed and called me manipulative like his ex !!!

I had to block him.

Never met a Libra or Virgo Male so I don’t know about them.

My Taurus sister is married to a Libra and they’re okay, I wouldn’t call them happy, just fine.

I’m a Taurus sun cancer moon and Mars with Pisces rising and Lilith, I’m a softie super emotional, sentimental and affectionate, I consider myself a water sign more than a Taurus.

Can you list your experience with the signs ?

Who is the best match for a Taurus woman and why?

Or I’m I the bad person ?


Why you're single?

1) You're a Taurus

2) you chose a career over love *insert eye roll here*

3) see number 2

4) see number 1

5) see number 1

and just as an extra: 6) see number 2

I'm sorry but as I read your post, when I got half way through the Leo story, I started laughing my ass off. The whole thing is so damn pathetic I couldn't do anything but laugh!

I'm glad I learned at an early age, never, EVER lose love over a "career." But you earth signs are all about money and status and (especially for taurus) possessions. As Trump would say, "SAD!"

Virgo's and Tauruses "get" each other, and they're both motivated by money and, money and.... stability. And money. So you'll find some common ground there. Personally, I'd look for a libra. I have a Virgo moon and have known too many Virgo men. I know what bitches they are so for your sake, look elsewhere. You don't deserve a virgo man (nobody does.)

Gemini men are the WORST! Stay away from them forEVER! And no I don't like Aquarius either. Nice and polite at first from a distance, but so self centered. And they can be the worst whores you'll ever find, even the men.

Just stay away from earth signs all together. Best narcissists you'll ever find.

Cancer is moody. Too moody. But they're usually not keeping tabs on money they spent on you. That one you dated was a weirdo. Cancer is also compatible with Taurus, so they say. And since you have a cancer moon (best placement for the moon ever!) there will be a simpatico there.

If the scorpio you were with is still available, I'd say give it another try. If not, well, lesson learned... Can an earth sign learn a lesson? Or is their head full of cement?

I read somewhere there are two things no one can ever take away from a Taurus; anxiety and depression. You'll probably suffer from either or both all your life no matter how happy and loved you are. It's a bull (cow?) thing.

You write well. I hope you find a good man to take care of you and that you'll be happy, sooner rather than later!

No rent or anything because I’m gonna be the wife and save him from his dad 🤷🏻‍♀️

All of them actually were taking unemployment so they were not totally broke !! They had the money to go and get drunk EVERY night!!

They were sneaky about it like we’d go to the movie or bowling, then they’d disappear when it’s time to pay 😅 then reappear after, one got a small popcorn and shared it with me!! no drink or candy or anything!! I had to go get my own snacks!!

I find it really wired because Pisces females are the exact opposite!!

I don’t wanna be a stubborn self righteous feminist cow but, I really didn’t choose career over him, I just wanted his support, I’ve always wanted to be a doctor since I was a little baby and he knew that from the very beginning even before us becoming lovers, if there was a specialty program in our country I would’ve stayed there!!

I used to always compromise for him, the first one to say sorry and let things go, I’d let him have his way with everything and this is the only thing I asked him to do for me!!!

And I even had alternatives for him ! why is it always me who has to compromise ?!

And about the signs you’re right... Earth signs men are boring, stubborn, know it all, selfish and have double standards, I’ve also noticed a lot of Virgo Male leading double life ... very shady !!

Water signs... are complicated, cancers are too sensitive, get hurt easily and hold grudges and suddenly snap you never see it coming!!

Scorpios are not romantic and too fixed, I’ve attracted a lot of them and they’re all the same, possessive, suspicious and controlling, one gave me rules on first date, and told me I should stop working night shifts if we’d ever be together !!

Pisces are too fickle, unreliable and wishy washy I cant stand them and they basically need a mama not a partner!

Fire signs guys are shallow, too aggressive and bubbly for me they have a very short span of attention and I’m very deep and slow.

Air signs are cool at the beginning but then turned to be so judgmental and know it all, they think they’re unique, cool, out of this world and they’re too fickle for my taste, oh my god!!! You’re so right about Aquarius all the one I met are into crap like poly/ open swinging relationships and if you don’t agree then you’re a narrow minded and selfish person.

I’m always anxious about anything school, love, family 😥 even when I don’t have a reason to be, I turn on the tv and find myself something to overthink!!

Thanks for the wish 💕

The question you want to be happy or always right?


I really want to be happy.

I love him like crazy and still get butterflies when he calls or text and I still can’t get over him after 6 years of moving and studying and keeping myself busy, but what can I do about it ??

I can’t risk talking to him about us, he might reject me or maybe he has already moved on and doesn’t think about me like that anymore, I don’t wanna lose what I have with him.

First, take a break from dating. Take a couple of months to refresh and to refocus on yourself. Be ok with being by yourself.

Second, figure out what you are going to do with your first love, the Scorpio. Sounds like you need some kind of closure there because you could subconsciously be waiting for him to come back in your life. Thus, you might subconsciously be pursuing dead-end romances.

Third, stop mentally comparing everyone to your Scorpio ex and give people time fo show their good sides.
