So Karen’s are not all the same then? 😂

Does a name tend to represent a person? I mean, do you find people that share the same name tend to share similar traits and how do you feel about dating someone that has the same name as your most recent ex?

What are you thoughts and experiences with people that share the same name?

No. It’s not going to happen unless he wants to leave. Being scared to leave = not leaving ever.
You leave when it’s harder to stay than it is to leave.

Fighting for something like this is not a good idea. It’s more like banging your head against a wall. My opinion is you give a person an opportunity & then it’s up to them. You go live your life & if they truly want you they will make themselves available. Otherwise they don’t truly want you. Actions not words..

Exactly!
And for me, it was harder to stay than it was to leave.
My Aries husband would scream at me with his Control because I refused to obey him. I'm not a goddamn doormat!
And when he was not behaving like that,I got silent treatment, refusing sex, affection and conversations.
Then telling me he Loves me!
It SCRWED with my head & heart!

The Pisces guy talked to me, shared himself, connected himself to me. And I to him. And he got to know me in ways my husband never ever even came close to at all.
So I craved the Pisces as could no longer bear the cold empty harsh pain of mycontrplling husband!

You might not see it but you are on the same cycle with Pisces as you were with your husband.

You are ignored, you are controlled, you are a doormat, and worse you are a mistress!!

How do you know he’s still seeing the woman from 6 months ago? Would not be the first relationship to break down because of the antics of a potential step-brat and the perceived mismanagement by the parent.

I don’t but if he wasn’t I would think he might have said so after my statement.

Being in his position, if you truly gave that impression, I would have ignored your 'advances' until something had to be said. Even if I was forced to say something, asking if you're single wouldn't come into the equation, as that's completely irrelevant.

The guy is basically fishing and, as others have said, looking for a back door. IMO, that's shady behaviour.

Let’s see if his mate rings me to sell his home… or if that was just a reason to text in the first place.

I really hope I get the listing 😂

That was my first thought and my second was… I’ve been too friendly and given him that impression.
I’ll take that on board in future.

Appreciate both your feedback and yes, I see where I’ve blurred the lines.

I never told him, I’d be open to seeing him. Just said that here.
I Just reminded him, I know he’s seeing someone. As I said, firstly his text took me by surprise because I didn’t know who it was and secondly he was talking business once he disclosed who he was. There was a bit of joking around about how much part I had to play in his Reno. It’s a unique home and he spent buckets on selecting the finest Italian tap ware so I asked for a picture of the finishing. I also know he’s selling next year so yes I want to sell it for him, the house will be worth around 3-4 million with the way prices are going through the roof here in Queensland. My head was definitely thinking business but I spent a bit of time with him selecting and designing his mostly bathrooms and we were on friendly terms.

@Phoenixrising

Did you delete your comments? I was busy at work and thought I saw a couple posts and like your train of thought but now they aren’t there??

I was in home renovations so helped/sold him and many others products for their Reno’s.
Now I’m in Real Estate selling house, so I’m calling up asking for referrals or if they are looking to sell.
Because I worked closely with my clients, they remember me. I rang him and he’s kept my phone number and texted me a couple days later saying he had a friend that is looking at selling.

The conversation ended but then that random text, which I thought I answered without leaving it open.

He had previously talked about the lady he was seeing (his words for whoever picked my words apart) and complained about the way her child acted (that I remembered) so I knew he was seeing someone and didn’t expect that question.

Question being, did he understand my answer?? He said it was a compliment.

My I am, was referring to I am single, then the next statement was, I didn’t mean it to come across that way (asking him out) followed by, I know you’re seeing someone.

Not sure he read that correctly because he then said, it was a compliment

I thought this was gonna be cut simple and dry until his text at the end there lol

Because if someone, even an attractive person I know professionally in the industry told me casually "if you're in the area, drop by and we can grab a coffee", it just sounds so casual to me and since we have a professional formal relationship, I wouldn't think much of it other than to discuss business. When it's a more casual friendship with a guy for me, and with no professional formal business relations, that's when it gets a bit more date sounding to me. So I would think he was wanting clarification. But if he thought it sounded date like, maybe he was flattered and thought you maybe forgot about his gf and kid idk.

Think you got it there, it’s only ever been a professional relationship and I’ve since changed industries and calling all my database from the previous job as they are linked. I was shocked by that text to be honest. His first one was saying hi and I had to ask who he was. I hadn’t had text communication with him previously and he wasn’t in my contacts. Then he went on to say he had a contact for me…. And then the question?? 🤔

I am (asking you out)
I didn’t mean to come across like that (single)
😅😅

Interesting, that’s the way I think he read it and I thought maybe from a male point of view but I meant yes I’m single but no, didn’t mean it to come off that way. I’m only interested in money and business from that call 😂

What was the text after this?
You admitting that you know he's seeing someone and single, while he calls you out about your behavior seems thirsty, to put it plainly. He probably noticed.
So what happens after your message, will be more telling of what he's thinking.

How is it being thirsty?

On a professional level, I've asked men and women for coffee or lunch when they were in town. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Him asking if she was single was a bit inappropriate, imo.

Yeah Sag has a way or turning things around, I’ve seen her answers before with others and take it with a grain of salt.

His text came 2 days later after my phone call.

He first responded with sending me a business contact, which is what I was after lol

But then confused me with that statement.

Tbh, if he didn’t have a gf. I’d go out with him but now the lines are blurred between business and friendship

He was hoping you don't know about his gf

He’s told me about his gf and her child while we were doing business when we met 6 months ago.

I had contacted him canvassing for business in my new industry

Posted by saggurl88
nvm

You’ve read it backwards

I know this person more on a professional basis and had said if you’re in the area drop in and we’ll grab a coffee

Text

Him: Are you single, l felt you were asking me out the other day

Me: I am, I didn't mean to come across that way, I know you're seeing someone

Does Aries know about Gem and all your history??

She knows about the Gem but didn't know I only just stopped talking to her lol

You “lol” and say that like she’s a joke to you. (Aries)

You’ve been treated like shit by the Gem, DON’T make that mistake with the Aries!

Treat her with the respect that you want for yourself. Doesn’t mean you need to tell all, just stop lying to her and yourself!!

Does Aries know about Gem and all your history??
