Why Aquarius men disappear

by Taylor

Hi there! I noticed a lot of questions were asking about why their Aquarius men are disappearing or doing 180's in the personality department. Okay. I can't talk for all of them, of course, and I'm not saying that this is even the right answer. All I know is that, as an Aquarius, I think I know what you are talking about. In my experience, it's not that us Aquariuses are displeased with you or that you did something wrong. No. When it comes to me, it's just that I am having a mental freak out. They are probably thinking they like you, want to be with you...But at the same time, they are feeling that ever familiar despair as they think their freedom is leaving them for good. If you're not an Aquarius, it may be hard to understand, but committing to something...For me, it's all about not hurting the other person. I'm always worried that when I talk to someone, I may lose interest (not in a mean way, just in a way that there is a whole huge world out there and there's a lot to experience.) and do just like your men are doing and cut and run. This is a never ending thing. We love people, love being with them, love studying them...But we also hate being tied down and when people get too close...It scares us, to be frank, and we run away to the next thing. Unless.

Few things have worked for me when I have decided to run for it. Guilting only works for so long and usually just convinces me that I should run before I feel too bad about it. Questions about where I've been, what I've been doing, why I haven't responded, just make me feel bad and usually make me lie, so I don't make you feel bad, too. Because the truth is, most of the time I still want to be with whoever I am avoiding, it's just I need a little space, a little break to experience the rest of the world. But when the person I am spacing from starts to cling to me because of the break, I get worried. I don't want to rush into a relationship.

(Though, quick side note. I, personally, always stay very affectionate, even when I don't want the relationship to move too fast. (( I think it's one of those stupid contradictions us Aquariuses are known for)) If you're Aquariuses is being very romantic, rushing along, don't just assume that he is ready for a relationship! Because then you'll be very confused when he suddenly disappears or brushes off invitations to spend time with you. For me, at least, it is just having fun, just interacting. And then it becomes a sudden realization that my partner might be reading more than simple friendship or affection into it and, in order to fix and think about this, I cut off and take a break. This might seem weird or even off putting to you, but it makes perfect sense to an Aquarius. We don't like making train wrecks, but often do it anyway.)

The best way, again this is just my experience and I've known other things to work at different times, you just have to try you're best to read the situation, is to remind the Aquarius why he picked you in the first place. Don't push him into a romantic situation. Pick a fun activity, maybe something you know he's been wanting to do, something he can't resist, even if he has been being a recluse. Go to a movie or bowling or to his favorite food joint and just talk.

Don't talk about why he hasn't been talking to you or that you've missed him, because that will just make him feel guilty and he'll want to get away from the bad feelings, but also don't make it seem like you've had too much fun while you weren't with him, because that will just make him think that you don't really like him, anyway (again, not in a mean way. He'll think this in the kindest, most rational way ever. I know, seriously.) and that it would probably be the best for both of you if he left now. Just talk about interesting topics, maybe a good natured debate or competition. Remind him that you are still interesting and you are still worth studying. Be a mystery and he'll stop worrying about relationships and commitments and go back to picking at your brain and looking at you with his head tilted. And the less he is worrying about commitments and whether it is endangering his freedom or not, the more he will focus on you and he will slip back into his affectionate and caring state.

Just remember, it is very easy for him to do another 180. You just have to make sure him and you remain on the same page. He doesn't want to go fast at all, no matter what kind of signals he may accidentally be sending. And also remember, if he started chasing you or being with you in the first place, he saw that special spark in you and loves it. You just have to remind him of that every once and awhile. And let him keep whatever hobbies he has, because while you may think they are distracting from you, that are also keeping his mind active and away from scary freedom losing thoughts.

I really hope this helps! Good luck, ladies, you may need it...

Exactly Why We Love You Aqua Men
by: Hope

Taylor,

Thank you so much for rippin' the lid off and giving us the first person version of the "Aquarius Man, Unplugged. It is extremely helpful because I am realizing that Aqua and Scorp process information and behavioral cues very differently. I too new to articulate the exact differences yet, but I hope for better understanding as the friendship with my precious Aqua develop.

I especially appreciate the basis for, and strategies for being okay with his need for time alone to reflect. Scorpio needs that also. Except, we aren't bright enough to disappear. We just get quiet, and our partners mistake it for brooding or anger. When pushed or forced into conversation, we get sarcastic and biting - in order to push others away so we can get back to our lair.

Eventually we learn that it is okay to just say, "I'm going to take some time out" to read, take a drive, walk, shop, see a movie, etc.

For mature Scorpio women, our challenge is our need to nurture and protect our loved ones. We tend to obsess over knowing where they are - not that we feel our partners need our permission, but how can we keep you safe if I don't even know where you are?

Of course we realize on some level that we are attracted to you because you are quite capable of taking care of yourself. It is just our biggest astrological fault and is often mistaken for crazed jealousy. In reality it's usually a case of over-protective lunacy!

Taylor, you have certainly earned 3 free Scorp questions - redeemable whenever the need arises. I am happy for you and your partner.

Ain't love the grandest thing?

Thank U

As an Aries, patience is not a strength of mine. This being nice and not trying to hurt anybody is so ridiculous. Let us know where we stand, we will appreciate it so we don't waste time with you Aquarians!

Aries and Aquarians should be friends only. Aquarians take way too much time for an Aries. And they never give you a straight answer. But because Aries don't like to fail and they desire a one on one thing- they will let these Aquarians hang them out to dry.

Can you tell I'm mad at an Aquarian? You can't have your cake and eat it!

time to give it up?

my first love (aqua) has come back into my life. To find out that over the 10 years he has regretted disappearing on me was confusing. As everything he says and does indicates that he has always loved me also and still does. He is he one man who made me feel like a princess in the tower, and he charging to save me on his black steed. Oh I love this man to my core, but I couldn't understand why he could be so contradictory (common, I'm a Gemini and I know contradiction). finally a man who can beat me at my own game (or downfall should i say). I should have known better but, he has disappeared on me again- doh! Oh the anguish he has caused my heart, I need to get of this roller coaster ride as he is driving, and I am emotionally exposed (very uncomfortable for me). When I told him what hurt he caused me 10 years ago and the effect it had on my subsequent relationships, he said 'Ive made him want to kill hims self', and if anyone hurts me he cares deeply and wants to annihilate any threat to me. But what about when he hurts me? Leaves me hanging? breaks my heart? this man is the love of my life. But scared to be open with him cos I know I'm on borrowed time which feels unsettling. This makes me wonder if we had a family would he abandon us? Yes he is very affectionate, and reading this article it makes me feel sick to think that he is not meaning to be affectionate and its just accidental signals he sends - and the reasons for his disappearing being a mental freak out- indicates that I am dealing with a child? How the hell can I have a relationship with someone who always has his sprinting shoes on, & eying the door, if I unbalance his correct amount of romance/love/affection that makes him feel 'free'? I don't have the patience for these strategic land mines. He seems to lack perspective, emotional maturity/intelligence, internal locus of control, self-awareness & communication skills. All of which he has to want to develop independently.
Seems that he doesn’t value the unique love he has with me – and is overly keen to throw love away & bounce to someone else; expecting to re-create/replicate – but that’s hasn't happen.
My view is that sometimes love isn’t enough....but i don't want to marry someone else out of convenience or give up on love because of this experience...

why aquarius men dissapear
by: Anonymous

Well, I was dating an Aquarius man for three months. we were friends then intimacy started, Sex was unbelievable. the best> In a period of 24 hrs 20 were for sex, We saw each other only during week ends and he would call me every day. One day of all the sudden I confronted him about a lady he was talking on FB and he cut me and did not call me ever again. That was sooo mean of him and cruel.
I text message him after that . He text message once but he has never called me back. I never called him back or anything after he stopped calling me. He is weird I think. If he liked me (I am sure he did ) Why did he stop seeing me? I do not understand .
We really liked each other and sex was great for both, I am sure. I think he loved me. he had bad break ups before and went into depression and said that he still was "recuperating" from the divorces.

thank you

This man is going to try your patience like no other. You will find that you may be the one initiating most things and he'll go along with it. It will be unusual for you to be chasing someone. Unparalled patience will be required if you really want to proceed

I want him for keeps
by: Anonymous

ok... I understand abt havin immense patience with an Aquarian man, but wht nxt? I mean I'm definitely interested in him but I'm really not sure how he feels abt me(I'm an Aries grl). His actions says otherwise like he meets me on weekends & the very fact that he's there with me & he shares all that he did thru out the day even wen I dint ask him, shows that he likes my company... but again wht nxt, i.e. if I want him fr keeps and I want him to fall fr me too???

To Aries again
by: Aries

Heya Aries,

I responded to your previous post. I am also an Aries who is seeing an Aquarian male. When I say you need patience I mean it. We are not patient. I am not accustomed to waiting on a man, but it seems Aquarians like to be off doing their own thing that it seems they forget about you. My best (female) friend is also an Aquarius and she disappears all the time.

The best advice I can give to you is to relax and be yourself. I personally don't think people should do anything they normally wouldn't just to get someone to fall for them. Anything done in deceit won't last. Aries are good listeners; so listen. I know you are going to want an answer but Aquarians (from my limited experience) have a roundabout way of saying things in order not to hurt people. However, they are as blunt as Aries so don't ask questions you don't want answers to. Don't lie (we're not good liars anyway).

You know what I've found? Aquarians seem to be very unforgiving or uncompromising. Ok, they'll say they forgive you but after that you're basically dead to them. I mean, they'll still help you out but they will never let you get close to them again. If there is something you feel ok compromising on, do it because he won't.

Other than that, get him drunk and he'll sing like a canary. ;)

Me again... I'm in the same situation
by: Aries

Oh Aries, here is where I fail you. How do you think I ended up here :)? I have Aquarius friends and my best friend is an Aquarius but this is my first time dealing with one in a romantic situation. I am used to men chasing me, not me contacting a guy to see if he wants to meet up. It's kind of depressing to me, actually.

To be fair, I really had no intention of liking this guy. I just agreed to go out with him because I was bored. However, he turned out to be so funny and smart. Usually after a good date, I'd hear from the guy the latest the next day. I didn't hear from him until a week later. That was 9 months ago. I still see him but I've backed off a lot, mostly because I may have to move with my job in a year. I haven't told Mr. Aquarius that, because I'm not his girlfriend. While I'm waiting for the next year, I can still have sex with someone I'm comfortable with (him).

He and I have told each other that we like each other but I didn't want to pressure him into something he wasn't ready for. I wasn't sure I was ready either. It's just that I'm used to being a girlfriend. I wanted him to want to want to be with me but he never made that move- I guess that means he doesn't want to be my boyfriend. He tells me the sweetest things but they're not followed by any actions.

It doesn't matter now anyway.

I wish I could have been more helpful. Best of luck.

re: Me again... I'm in the same situation
by: Anonymous Confused Aries

Honestly I had no intention of likin the Aquarius guy either, I agreed to go with the flow & thot I'd b ok & wont let my heart & my feelings get involved in this but looks like now I'm begining to like this guy with each passin day but he seems to be vry grounded, the typical Aquarius attitude of being realistic. I'm sure he likes me but an Aquarius befriends almost everybody he meets so really not sure wht he feels fr me yet.

The last time we argued abt somethin was almost a mnth ago,(we hardly argue coz I've understood him) he said we dont connect in our thinkin & that relationships are not a priority in his life right now, & I thot after that day we'd nvr talk but in a few hrs he called as if nothin hapnd & we nvr spoke abt that fight till this date. Evn after sex which happens only on the weekend, we nvr speak abt it...... I'm afraid to approach the subject as this might drive him away. Infact he's spendin alotta time wid me & phone calls & talkin to me mre often, compared to how he was before.

I wanna be in a relationship with him... evn if it does not go anywhere like a commitment fr marriage but I definitely wudn't want him to sleep with other women behind my back ... I do trust him thru the odds, it's his loss if somethin happens...

Knowing all the facts and the reality of the situation, I so wud want him to fall in love with me or atleast call me his girlfriend... I kno , too ambitious but I'm jst tryin to be true to myself.... need ur advice on the next step that I should take or should I just let it be???

Awaiting ur reply

by: Aries

Hey,
I know you want to read meaning into his actions but ...i don't know. Each person is different. "My" aquarian talks to me about so many things-sometimes I feel like a therapist. Of course he'll ask me things about me too and listen and offer suggestions as well.

As an Aries, it is very easy to fall for someone. It's different for men and from what I'm understanding, extremely different for Aquarian men. Yes he's telling you all these things but you're meeting up on weekends, have you met his friends etc? Have you gone out in public? Are you always altered when you're together (drunk, high?) They take a long time to decide that they want to be more than friends. "My" Aqua says he likes me yet he's spending less and less time with me. I can't anymore.

My advice: what is your gut telling you? Do you want to leave for someone who is on a more similar timeline (i.e. does not take forever?) Is he worth waiting around for? When I said you needed patience I was extremely serious. I can't tell how many times I've deleted his number or have had friends tell me to forget about him and move on. I am finally beginning to take their advice. Read around the message board and decide what you can/cannot put up with.

Dear Taylor,

Thanks for posting your *brilliant* insights into the male Aquarian character. An absolute god-send and yes, you did blow the cover off of that thing, as another poster said!
Your post will be my Bible for the next...well, who knows how long my adventure w/my Aqua man will last? well, however long it lasts, I can always depend on one thing: my Aquarian's gonna make it INTERESTING!

you've got another friend in cyberspace!

by: Confused Aries

Well, in reply to ur question whether "I'm meeting up with his frnds?" well, We (Aquarius & I) spent the weekends with his bro & his gf, also we almost always are with his current good frnd & his mate, I've also jst recently spoken to his 5 yr old nephew ovr the phone, he has also mentioned that wen his new house is ready he's gonna invite all his frnds(includin me) fr the 1st visit.There r gestures at times like holdin hands and small hugs in front of his bro/ frnd, but I wudnt make a big deal abt it. He's nvr introduced me as his gf or anythin, it's like these guys already knw me or have heard my name before they meet me.

The otha dy we spoke fr like 2-3hrs at a stretch face to face but it was him doin mosta the talkin and he mentioned all of his past affairs and how his lifestyle has been. It sometimes makes me wonder wen wud be the last time I'd see/ talk to him & he decides to call it off or disappear. coz during that convo he mentioned that "people tend to get attched to me and there are so many people that love me and that scares me so that's y i suddenly cut off coz I dont knw how the otha person wud react , though i definitely kno abt myself"

Scary part is that I feel I'm gradually gettin attached & I pray everyday fr the Lord to gimme the strength to go thru the pain that i'll endure wen he decides It's Over.

Well, we work at the same place so we take our breaks together, if that's watcha call being public then that's abt it. People at wrk speculate but we don't react to anything neither do we behave oddly obvious fr people to gossip. (continued...)

We had a major fight just this past weekend and I thot it was over fr good coz there was abusive lingo frm his side & he sent me a sms sayin "goodbye I cant take it anymore and I hope that u understand" but after a few hrs I cald him and invited him fr a party that even & he came along with his bro & during the party I asked him if he was "there" or is he "done", to which he replied "I'm here am i not" that's wen we went away and spend the day together 2 couples (bro and his gf) and yeah the sex was great coz this was the 1st time that it looked like he put in an effort and we had foreplay and the most passionate kisses.

I thot he'd be different the nxt day but he was the 1 callin and gettin me lunch frm home(his mom's home cooked food) and feeds me 1-2 bites .... (he's been doin that fr almost 2 weeks) The part which is sad is he neva said it out loud that he likes me, let alone that he wants anythin more. What's surprisin is that he's still around coz I thot he was done with me... Being an Aries, I wudn't wanna give up, not yet but I'm hesitant to make a move coz I'm scared abt frightening him away or makin an abrupt jolt in this smooth sailing flow of whatever we have.

I've almost strangely adapted to everything he does & have gone outta my comfort zone. Weirdly I feel free & myself wenevr I'm in the company of his bro his gf and course the Aquarius man. It's like I want to be with him but i havent questioned myself what i actually have for him in fear of hearing myself say that this is more than jst attraction.......

Please advice..... Awaitin ur reply...

This Doesn't Speak For Us All
by: Anonymous

I'm sure this may speak for SOME Aquarius males, but not all. I read a comment where there was an Aries that was mad at some Aquarius and "wanted to slap us all" (I found that hilarious, by the way. Lmao).

I am an Aquarius and I don't "freak out" about a commitment thing. If I don't want it, I just tell her I don't want it. An Aquarius is patient, but I haven't met one that was so patient that it wasted someone else's time. Another trait of an Aquarius is being blunt and honest. However, zodiac signs don't completely make up a personality; consider the way the person was brought up (household, environment, etc.) then condisider the way that sign may react to his/her upbringing.

I'm in the beginning stages of talking to an Aries right now and we're getting along pretty well. As a matter of fact, most of my best friends are Aries and the first girl I said "I love you" to is an Aries. Lol.

he started talkin abt other women
by: Anonymous

What can you make of an Aquarius man who I know from the past 3 mnths who usually does talk abt his ex girlfriends but today he mentioned abt meeting 1 of his ex gf and also said that he "MIGHT" go to meet her......

Has he lost interest in me? When we met today we did kiss & played with our hands a lil bit and gave each otha han jobs... lol and spend good quality time but were fairly silent like just enjoyin the company(atleast I was enjoyin the company)... however he mentioned abt 1 of his ex's. I dint feel so much abt it but yeh a lil bit irritated..... Wonder wht he's upto? Shud I trust him?

is the aqua man just too much of a drama queen?
by: Aqua chick

hi taylor,
I agree with giving the freaked out aqua man space cos i'm a busy chaotic aquarian chick with way too many hobbies also, but man, mine got my number from someone and started texting me outta the blue. First date the following day told me we had the rest of our lives to spend together so let's take it slow. I thought this was crazy, but i'm used to crazy so went along with it. Second date 2 days later, asked if i wanted to have kids with him and meet his mum in a few days, all within the first week of him contacting me. However 3 days later disappeared with a long text explaining stuff he needed to do and that he needed time and i haven't heard a peep since. That was 2 weeks ago. Now, i'm very understanding being an aqua myself, but do we really have to watch every little thing we say to these men worrying that they're gonna freak out. Mine freaked himself out. Everything i've read about these men is saying how gently women need to tread around them, who can be bothered putting that much effort in? Come on aqua men get over it...if you know a girl likes you just get on with your life and let it happen, otherwise they're just gonna lose interest and do something else.

totally agree with the above comment
by: Anonymous

i'm an aqua girl too and don't forget that the general traits are same whether its a man or woman, so if you want keep space and not show any emotions so will the girl. hence, no relation. as said in the above comment, she'll just run away and chose to be with someone else.

how do you handle it when the Aquarius guy disappears?
by: ladyviking

I was reading some of the comments and I couldn't help but adding one myself. I noticed this guy at my work place. He tried to ask me out a couple of times and I turned him down but after about a month I agreed to go out with him. We had 2 amazing dates where he admitted he had a crush on me for the past month and was waiting every day to see if I would come in for work when he was there so he could just look at me. Very sweet! He travels a lot but he would always send me a text here and there to tell me he was thinking about me. After our second date he told me he wanted to see me the day after but he might have to leave town so he was going to call me to let me know. That was about a month ago! The only reason we did have a conversation via text is because I contacted him but other than that I haven't heard anything. I finally asked if I was going to see him again when he got back into town and his response was "of course!!! :) as if nothing happened. I know he is crazy busy with work but still.... I find this disappearance act so weird because I'm not used to it and I don't know what to think of it....

i need actions not words...
by: aqua chic

yeah mine also said 'of course i want to see you, but at least u'll miss me more...' Lord knows what that means?? and then the last thing i heard was that he can't wait to hold me and that was 3 weeks ago...well guess what? i think maybe he can wait to hold me and it's just all a load of bullshit!!

I'm glad you got a laugh out of that- I hope I never meet another Aquarian
by: Summer-the Aries that wanted to slap the Aquarian

Hey,

I'm seriously puzzled by Aquarians. "Tell him how you feel", "they just want to take it slow", " they'll run away so they don't hurt you"- Argh!

Unfortunately, I seem to be drawn to them. My best friend is also an Aquarian. I can't and won't chase this Aquarian though I think he is amazing. But he pisses me off with his disappearances. I've decided to move on

Need to find me a Sagittarius or someone who wants to committ (sp?)

True

Very much agreed, sir! Pegged most Aquarians on the dot.

i wanna slap my aqua man too.
by: pisces

Ok so I have read every comment, and I agree with the aries wanting to slap them all! Lol. That was too funny. I wanna slap my aqua man too. Lol.
I'm dating an aquarian, and boy might I add that it has been difficult! Don't get me wrong, we have this connection that I just can't seem to let go. At first I was too emotional, too clingy and always wanted to talk about feelings, which obviously pushed him away. I Still remember the night he told me that he wanted to be alone. It was hard but I said ok. . about a week went by, and guess what, he called me. I. accepted to see him. I tried not to bring up that night, but I did. He couldn't give me a straight answer as to why he didn't want to be in a realtionship but yet he wanted to see me. Its been 10 months now since our first date. And I have learned not to call him as much and not to question him when he doesn't call. I used to think he was seeing someone else when he would do the whole disapearing act. But me being a pisces did question him, and he has proven to me that there is not another woman. When he's at home, he really is at home. Doing his thing, but its so frustrating when he does that. When he's with me, he's good to me. Gives me attention. And when he's not its like "out of sight out of mind" My advice to all is to keep yourself busy. Hang out with friends. Give him time to miss you. Heck, if I can do it being a pisces, then you all can do it to. Just keep in mind that not only is he an aquarius, he's a man too. It does take a lot of patience, and only you all know within yourselves if he's worth waiting for. When my patience runs out, its going to be his loss. Life goes on, and remember he is not the first or the last aqurian you're going to date, there are others, libras, scorpios, taurus etc. Just be patient and very confident and you'll get him where you want him.

Starting to fall for an Aquarius
by: Anonymous

I am astonished by all these helpful comments about Aquarius men. However I am starting to fall for one guy who is 2 years younger than me. I am 23, he is 21, but acts very mature for his age. By mature, I mean that he is marriage minded and looks for his future instead of mindless fun that other guys seem to have. I am an Aries girl, so I noticed a lot of Aries women had experiences with an Aquarius man. ALSO, my 4th house is also in Aquarius also, heightening my respect for Aquarius in general.

I fell for this guy by accident. I didn't mean to. I actually was in love with his best friend, a Gemini guy who didn't feel the same. However all of a sudden we got really close and such. We started talking gradually, and I realized that the connection that I have with him is so deep and meaningful, more than I ever could have imagined. He is one of the first guys that I could be myself around: Funny, witty, intelligent, yet romantic, sensitive, etc. I tell him everything that is on my mind and our mental chemistry is just amazing.

However I know that he would never go for someone like me because first of all 1) I am not his physical type 2) He is younger than me and stated at the beginning of our friendship he would never be with a girl older than him 3) I don't think he is attracted to me in that way.

I am cool with being just friends with him. It was the Gemini I truly wanted to be with. However, this Aquarian guy just suddenly pulled a disappearing act on me. I have no idea where he went. Sometimes I think I said something that bothered him, but other times I realize he might need his space. But with his disappearance I find myself missing him SO SO SO much, words cannot describe. I was so used to him and I hanging out in the middle of the night, just talking til the morning. I was used to his IMs. Our fun chats. I just love him so much as a person but do not understand why he just pulled a 180 and stopped talking to me. Well it's only been like 2 weeks but it feels like forever! So trust me, I do understand the Aquarian disappearance. It's like one day they seem to really care and be involved in your life, and then the next minute BAM they are gone. But the funny part is, I don't even know if he is truly gone. He seems to be hanging out with other people. It's not like he is hiding. I just think Aquarius men do need space from certain people. I think I am very intense for him. Every time we are together, we know it's going to be a very long night and talk. I know he wants to focus more on his routine and studies. Therefore, I think I am a distraction for him in a way.

thank you Taylor

Reading your article has possibly stopped me from making a huge error on the next steps I take with my Aquarius friend. I am a confused (and frustrated I might add because of him!) Aries woman who has embarked on a very strange (for me) and confusing relationship with an Aquarius male and just don't know where I stand, but then again reading all these postings it seems that maybe I never will! I so wish I had an Aquarian friend like you to help me make the right decisions. I've read so much about these guys and think I do understand them but with the best will in the world feel that I can't do right for doing wrong!

Makes me feel better
by: Foxie

I am a pisces girl and had a crush on this aquarius for about 6 months. I had known for sure that he liked me but couldn't ask me out. He later cofessed that I kinda look fragile, innocent,and that im always happy, and he was afraid he might destroy that. We went out for about . . .3 weeks maybe cause he just disappeared.

Later he was with another girl and looked uncomfortable each time I met him with her. I tried to confront him but he just always "ran away." It makes perfect sense now and I feel like I can forgive him. I still like him but I don't think I can deal with his nature. I thought I was a bad kisser or jst not what he expected(lol). thanx

are all of you nuts?

fine. a woman needs love and affection. she needs to know that she is the best thing in the world for her man. she needs emotional intimacy, etc, etc. its all good and fair.
but when your aquarian man needs his space, its all out of planet???????????? great.

Been there...still there..I guess
by: Anonymous

Wow! So much good insight into the Aquarius male. I started seeing an Aquarius over a year ago, more so as friends..and sex...and I must say, it's been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life trying to deal with this personality type, especially since I am an Aries girl! This disappearing thing they do has got be one of the most perplexing and annoying things they do, even though I completely understand the need for "alone time" and "freedom" because I'm a lot like this myself, but the other thing he does that makes me, like others, want to slap the snot out of him, is him not replying when you can be in the middle of a texting conversation, and POOF, he's vanishes no into thin air, and you have no fricken idea WHY or what the heck is going on, and when you do ask you get no reply, which is just so immature and disrespectful, or at least that's how it comes across, and this just drives me nuts, nuts, nuts!!! Lol! So the big question is: do I contact him and try to find out WHY, or just leave him be and hope he comes back around? Well, after feeling like "I" need to watch what I say, how I say it, when I say it...blah, blah, blah...I've made a decision that it's just way too much work, and too frustrating to do this, and being an Aries, I march to the beat of my own drum, and to HAVE to try and do all this just to have someone in my life is utterly ridiculous to me, and I've just had enough!!! I will say this, though, that I have never met another man that I connected with on a such a deep level, so much that we just instinctively know what the other is thinking, that we really don't need to talk much, just chatting is good enough, most times. Anyway..he just recently did the disappearing thing on me in the middle of texting, and I'm just leaving him alone, and getting on with my life because this constant up and down, back and forth roller coaster ride is way too annoying and frustrating for me to try and pursue any longer. Who knows, probably because they tend be so unpredictable, he may text and say something really crazy and want to "hook-up" again, and if that happens, then I'll deal with it when happens! I will say this though, that one of the many things I DO like about an Aquarius is how they are clingy and super needy, and for me this a huge plus, but then that "super detachment" thing they do comes into play, and you have to decide just how much of this you can take because it's tough to not get any, if much, feedback on how they feel about you...life must go on!!

Pisces Dating Aquarius
by: Tiny

Im dealing with the same thing! Been dating this Aquarius for almost a year and its the slowest process ever! Really I dont mind taking it slow, knowing Im making a wise informed decision (vs falling head over heels immediately) but he also sends mixed signals. One minute hes all over me, wanting to spend time, then the next time I see him, he treats me like we just met yesterday! My friend says he is still deciding about me. HUH? Still deciding? I have never had a man treat me like Im no big deal before - yet Im curiously drawn to him. Its weird. Im starting to wonder if I just dont wanna give up because he is such a challenge. Like I havent heard from him since last week when I gave him a gift for his bday. NOTHING. IM not calling or texting him either. My patience is wearing thin.

I feel your frustration
by: Anonymous

Tiny..I feel ya, gf! They are extremely frustrating, and the mixed signals they give are weird, for sure! One minute you'd swear they want to spend every minute with you, which we know is not the case, and the next they treat you like the babysitter or some mere acquaintance! I've decided that I am not going to text him at all anymore, and if he wants to be with me, then he's going to have to step up to the plate because this Aries is done playing these ridiculous cat n' mouse games! I can play that game for a short time, but my patience is gone, and I've had enough. However, I have said this a few times, and there is a weird "drawing" to them that is difficult to walk away from, this is very true, and annoying at the same time!! It's just madness to have to work that hard to be with someone, doesn't make any sense to me! Either you want to be with me, or ya don't! Keep us posted as to how it turns out,okay. Good luck,gf, and try not to get too frustrated with him, and just go about your business, and what happens, happens!

My advise to all the beautiful ladies.......
by: Lady Viking

YOU DESERVE A GOOD MAN REGARDLESS OF HIS SIGN!!
I posted something back in July and I'm back for more :)
I started dating an Aquarius last summer and he really pulled the disappearance thing on me. He gave me so much attention in the beginning and I totally fell for it, then he was just gone. I started dating a few other guys after but that didn't work out for other reasons, not because they disappeared. Recently another Aquarius man started pursuing me but this time I knew better. He came on to me so intensely that it almost scared me. Texted me all the time and told me I was going to be his woman and called me by his last name. Then all of a sudden I don't hear anything for a couple of weeks. The EXACT SAME behavior as the other Aquarius man I dated. It really is fascinating to me!

I'm almost 40 and I can tell you from experience that if a guy starts out like this it usually ends the same way and you are the one left hurt and frustrated. A man who is truly interested in you will not disappear and he will never leave you wondering when, if or why.....Men who doesn't respond to you when you call/text or disappear for days or weeks at a time is most likely up to something else and you are not on his priority list. I'm talking about men in general now, not just Aquarius men. A man who wants to be with you will find a way to contact you no matter what, there will be no excuses like "I'm traveling a lot" or "work is so busy right now". Trust me!! If you are walking around on eggshells and have to always wonder if you said something to scare off a man he is no good. With a man who is your soul mate you can always be yourself without wondering if he's going to run for the hills. Ladies, take your time to find such a man and let all those other men go asap. They are either not into you or just immature. Wishing you all the best in finding your soul mate, you deserve it!!!

Help!
by: frustrated aries

For those of you who have kept going with these guys for over a year I take my hat off to you, really!! I posted here a couple of months ago when the aquarius guy I had just started dating (although I have know him for over a year and we knew we liked each other a long time ago) and still am dating I THINK?!, was taking days to respond to my txts or ignoring them altogether, letting me down at the last minute on dates, yet inbetween being so nice and positive on txts and even when I tried leaving him alone, he would always txt me! So yeah, plenty of mixed messages/signals. I haven't had the total disappearing thing yet, it's more the detachment thing going on rite now and it's driving me crazing cos I just don't know if he's simply distracted or disinterested. In the 3 months that we have been dating we have only actually got together 4 times (apart from blowing me out in the early days there are other reasons for this. Inbetween though we have talked on the phone and txted and this has happened more frequently just recently. On the third date we became intimate and on the last date (which was last week) it was like he doesn't want to know. Oh we had a nice enough evening and he talked about the 'next time' but it felt like we were an old married couple or just friends (but he had a bad leg you see and was in an awful lot of pain!). He is on a mission with something at the moment, which started a couple of days b4 we last met, and he asked me to help him with it so we have been in constant contact during the last week for that reason BUT nothing else seems to be happeening. Now i'm left wondering if he really wants to get together again. Is he distracted and just wants some 'space', like they do, or was his behaviour the last time we met his way of telling me he doesn't want to know? Maybe I allowed us to become intimate too soon?! I have a txt drafted to him which is simply assuring him that I like him and wanna continue but not sure we should unless he feels the same way. I have sent something similar b4 (just after my last posting) when I simply asked to meet up with him but also asked him to let me know if he did not want to take things any further which created a turning point as he did want to meet and rather than him blowing me out we got together a few times and everything seemed wonderful up until last week! Should I leave him alone to 'potter' and may be wait 4ever to hear from him or should I send the txt to find out where I stand now? So many of you have more experience than I do with these men and I would be 4ever grateful for any advice, hints or tips that can be offered. Obviously there is loads more background but impossible to include everthing here and wouldn't want to totally bore you all! Many thanks and good luck to you all.

Thanks so much I and to you too Viking! I still haven't heard from him. Today makes a week. Its been hard but I'm not calling or texting. After almost a year I deserve better. And I shouldn't have to wonder if I did something wrong, if he's mad at me, or just needs space. I mean who does that to someone? I have a lot of frustration and hurt feelings and I want to express them, but at the same time I don't want to give him the satisfaction o seeing the effect his disappearing act has had on me.

Its really hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that he really doesnt/didnt care - and that I was so wrong. I'm ij my 30s and thought I had better instincts and judgement. :-(

Tiny, I share your frustration
by: frustrated aries

Tiny I really do understand how you must be feeling even though I have only been dating mine for a few months I am already experiencing the impact his behaviour has on me - it's just this whole detachment thing that really gets me. I am 45 and consider myself to be a very good judge of character yet even my mature years cannot work this one out. When I dated men in my younger years, b4 I married my husband who I have now separated from, I wud've brushed this type of guy aside as I wudn't have had the patience to play along with their apparent games and I certainly wud never have done the chasing! Yet at 45 I find myself wanting this man more than I have ever wanted any man that I feel compelled to try to understand him (hence visiting websites such as these, MAD!. The funny thing is I feel I got more consistent attention from this guy b4 we started dating (they do say they make better friends than lovers) and I do truly believe we will always be very good friends if nothing else. May be they do just get so scared of losing their freedom that they take themselves away rather than we push them away - thinking that in the meantime we will get the message and not even try to pin them down. Trouble is they must surely lose so many good women. I am certainly not looking for any longterm commitment but don't want a 'friends with benefits' type relationahip either. I feel like telling him to forget it right now but I know that I'll melt as soon as I hear from him and its just so out of character for me, i'm usually much stronger. I spoke with mine yesterday, if I haven't heard from him by Monday I will need to decide whether I send this txt I have drafted or just leave it and see what happens.

I really hope your guy gets in touch with you. You've been so strong to leave him alone this long so as hard as I understand it must be may be you should stick to your guns and see what happens. He'll probably text you out of the blue as though no time has passed between you. It really is so true what they say about these chaps. Take care and good luck and do keep us posted!

Oh so you know! I feel the same way. I was married before too, and even when I was younger and single would NEVER have put up with this crap. And like you, I have wanted him more than anyone. He seems so fascinating. And sexy, and intelligent - and the chemistry is amazing. And I kept thinking if I just hung in there he would let me into that secret place that seems so special. Just dying to get in that little place! Because he has shown me glimpses of it and it was great. AND like you, he was all over me in the beginning. That must be their MO. But the moment that he seemed to care he backed off. It sounds romantic but it really isnt. Maybe the first or 2nd time, but it really is a sign of immaturity no matter how old they are. Even if he is angry with me or has changed his mind about me then he should be a man and say that. He did this once before and called me up like nothing happened. That cant keep happening. Here is kicker: your heart is totally accessible to them, but you cant seem to get anywhere near theirs. They can get YOU, but you cant get THEM. See? And its almost a challenge or a mystery you feel compelled to solve. But its not fair. I keep reading all these posts about how they run away, or how they need to trust you first, or test you - and I fell for it. And I tried that. But the moment I showed him emotion he turned off. I cant change who I am. Im supposed to be w/ him for almost a year and act like I dont care, dont have feelings, dont want more - and sleep with him? Ha! No, you cant have your cake and eat it too buddy. Im too old for this!

We have been on this starting-stopping rollercoaster and Im tired of it. Then we get together and its great, but then hes back to acting like a weirded out jackass. And just like you, he got better for a while with the calls then started up again. And I would be okay w/ talking once a week if his behavior were consistent everytime but its not. I have been upset for a week and this morning I woke up like WTF. I realized that there is no hidden eutopia with this man. He is what he is: some great qualities, but hes also an *sshole. Anyone who can look at a text or hear a msg and just flippantly decide not to respond or blow me off for a week must not think that much of me no matter how they act in person. As much as that reality hurts. I agree, its quite confusing because they seem so sincere in the moment. And maybe in their way they ARE. But its not enough.

CONT..

by: Tiny

CONT..I may SEEM strong, but this has taken me months to get to this point. And I have been in agony all week. Questioning myself, going over all the times we were together trying to figure out if he was sincere in those moments, wondering why he is not calling. I had to remind myself who I am and that I dont accept this from anyone. No matter how I feel about them. And what the hell is wrong with me that I feel this much for someone who isnt REALLY giving me a reason to? And come to think of it, he has had me on pins and needles for months with the flaky behavior. I can never relax and enjoy him. And everytime we make headway he does something flaky again. If I were actually in love with him (I was on my way) it would be so much worse. Ive decided if he never calls me again, and after I see him next week (I frequent where he works) if he still doesnt call me or offer an explanation, he is going to get a nicely worded letter about his behavior and I will close the door on this chapter. And if he calls and I decide to give him a chance (doubt it now) I will tell him if he disappears again to stay gone. Im not trying to discourage you from continuing your relationship but seriously seriously consider what I have written. If it doesnt get better soon, get out because it probably wont. But I hope it works out for you. Keep ya posted. :-)

Thank you Tiny!
by: frustrated aries

Thanks so much for your comments can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it. As I read through I have picked out many words that I have used to describe this so called relationahip I am in. I deleted my draft txt last night, before I read your posting, and now I know I have done the right thing. If he wants me he can come get me! I feel so upset to think that it's probably all over (even though it never really seemed to get started!) as my feelings for him are so so strong, but I know in my heart that I will not be able to cope with the rollercoaster ride longterm. This experience is already knocking my confidence. I want someone who makes me feel good (we all deserve that don't we?) rather than make me feel like i'm not good enough, not sexy enough, have done something wrong, has to tread on eggshells etc etc which is exactly how I feel. Worse I don't think I can deal with these periods where I am being made to feel like I'm his nextdoor neighbour, mate or sister. I much prefer the feeling I have when he trests me like I'm his girl, that's really good. Mine is also sexy, intelligent and extremely charasmatic. He is the first man I have spent time with since separating from my husband (who he knows really well and I sometimes wonder if this causes him a problem but then i'm probably just kidding myself!) and I think I will do better to date other men for a while and leave him alone. What will be will be I guess. I can't keep taking the initiative (he has asked first a couple of times though to be fair or am I just making excuses for him?!). Surely if any man wants you enough and they know that you want them too they will make the effort so WTF why should aquarius guys be any different? And I absolutely agree with you, their behaviour can come across as so immature and rude at times and yet if they were trested the same way - well, don't they have something to say about it? Big time me thinks!!

Let's see what happens then. Once again many thanks and good luck.

by: Tiny

Oh you are so welcome and Im glad I could be of help. I truly know how you feel, as even now I miss him. But does he miss me? I guess not cuz he hasnt called. And if he does and his pride is that strong that he cant be bothered to break down and call, then..it can be so many things. That he decided Im too much work (Im a Pisces and we are a bit emotional), or that he was using me, or is in love w/ me and is afraid..it doesnt matter does it? Every relationship Ive been in the other person is unwilling to step outside of their comfort zone for me. And I said I wouldnt do it again. So I have to stick to my guns. But I do miss him believe me! Like you said, miss the person that treated me like his woman. But that didnt happen often enough. I wish you the best and I KNOW, I KNOW its hard. Be strong.

Why does he do this?
by: Anonymous

I have known this man for 31 years, we grew up together. We have always had a great friendship and in the last year, it became more, we became very close, I visited him where he lives, he came and stayed with me for the entire summer. He went home and things have been different every since, he still tells me he loves me and I am his best friend but I catch him lies all the time. He tells me I'm not his girlfriend so why lie to me like he does his girlfriends???? We have been intimate this last year and we still remained close. There is a girl from his past that is married in the picture now and she also lives in another state...he lies to me about her all the time, why???? I am ready to end this life long friendship because I feel like I am being played??? Is that what Aquarius men do?? It's like he feels me pulling away and he charms his way back in and then disappears again....can't take much more....Thanks

I saw an Acquarius for over a year, and of course, he did the disappearing thing, blah, blah, blah, and he wouldn't even acknowledge me, so I waited for him at this house last weekend, and it was horrible! I waited an hour and 15 minutes, and where I park you can't see my car when you drive in, so he didn't know I was there, so he drives up, and I had just put a short note in his door, and I get out to get the note because I figured we would talk so why leave it, well right behind him was his new "girlfriend!!" As if things weren't already bad enough! I was absolutely horrified! He got out of his truck I guess to come see why I was there...duh...and when he got close to the car I just drove off, and never looked back!!! I have absolutely no love-loss for him, and as far as I am concerned he can go to you know where!! I will "never" be with another Acquarius...ever!!
They are cold-hearted bastards, and I won't apologize for how I feel because that man put me through more misery than a person should ever have to endure, and the chances of him ever finding "true love" will be one in a hundred trillion!! I wish nothing good for him! Am I bitter? Yup! But when someone does something like this to me in hurts to me the core, and I will never forget it, this I assure you! Some very valuable lessons learned, and I will tell every woman that will listen to me never date an Acquarius!! Ever! Good luck ladies you'll need it!

Movin on down the road to a real man not a scared little boy.

to all the ladies who had been hit by Aquarius men
by: Scorpio

Hi ladies,
I decided to add some comments here. I personally think that Aquarius men need some space or decide to run or hide from you is because they see and feel (that's right, they can feel you)too much love or appreciation from you. They like it at the beginning, but if you continue with it, they get bored. That's why here comes their "disappearing thing". They just need new experiences and get bored easily. They are not interested in "open books". If you stop calling them, they would think that maybe they were wrong about you, so they appear again in your life. If you continue with the same "love you so much" attitude, they will stay gone. I understand that Aquarius men are attractive and this "hot" and "cold" behavior makes them even more attractive. But, ladies, you have to stand your ground. You have to show them that if they don't stop this behavior, it will be end of story. And you have to really mean it, because Aquarius men are highly perceptive. They will feel what is going on inside of your brain even if you don't say a word. By "standing your ground" I don't mean that you don't have to date them or have sex with them. Just show them that you like them but not too much into them, be enigmatic and aloof, don't be clingy. Make them think that they can lose you at any moment, but don't play it, just really mean it. Again, they are really perceptive, so you have to be careful with tricking them. They will be yours and will be no more "aloof" or "space need" from them. You have to continue doing this for as long as you want to be with your Aquarius men. But in reality, do you really need to put so much work in a relationship, pretend to be not who you really are? Think about it. There are many other men out there, for whom you will not have to pretend... Just be yourself. I am a Scorpio woman and my Aquarius is still after me but I am tired of it. I hope my thoughts can be helpful for you ladies, and good luck with your Aquarius men. You will really need it.

by: Tiny

Oh, you are so right. I was dealing w/ this for MONTHS. The last time (see my posts above) he ran off and didnt call for two weeks. I thought I was dumped! He popped up and called me like it was nothing. We had it out and thought we came to a new understanding of one another. Then he pulled it again. And again called me up like nothing. I ignored him and finally send him a long text telling him that I dont do games. Youre in or your out, but unfortunately, I told him, you have lost the opportunity to make this decision as I am making it FOR you. See ya! You are absolutely right that you can have them IF you play their game. but it is an exhausting game w/ no guarantee that you will get to where you really wanna be w/ them. Pretending all the time not to care. Even if youre not clingy, they still run away. I realized not too long ago that all I have ever dated was Aquas (and Virgos) and I have to say in their defense that they are not all like this. But the typical Aqua IS. And you wanna get as far away from them as you can. He lost out bigtime.

by: Scorpio

Dear Tiny,
I am glad you stood your ground. We, water signs are very emotional and Aquarius men are not. They think only about themselves and you need to think about yourself, not about adjusting to them. You need to love yourself and try to make a guy adjust to you, not the opposite. I know that Pisces are nice and soft and it's really hard for you. As I can read from other posts, even signs that are compatible with Aquarius men (like Aries and Gemini), have a lot of problems with them. We, water signs are highly incompatible with Aquarius men. And it's not because Astrology says so. It's from my own experience and some other people I know, not counting all the posts from this web site. I would recommend you to move on and find somebody else. I know that Capricorn and Cancer men are stable and good for you. And who knows, maybe if you find somebody and your Aquarius finds out about it, all of his games will stop...
Please write to me if you need some advise. Always happy to help you or others. Scorpio.

Thank you for your words of encouragement. And you are so right. We water signs are not built for this! Even my ex who was also Aquarius, who did not run away, was like a robot emotionally and that hurt so much that I had to end it. He never opened up, even after years of being together.

I ended things, as mentioned w/ my newest Aqua, the other day. He wrote back and tried to blame it all on me. That I dont understand him. Not once did he address any of the items I mentioned in my message, it was ALL about him and how people dont get him. Whining. Saying how he is disappointed because he thought that I, ''like the possibility of many others'' would be the one who would get him. And how its obvious that I ''like many others'' dont get him. Trying to make me feel unspecial by implying that I wasnt the only one he was seeing, when he told me months ago I was. I dont know which is true but it was clear that he was trying to mind f*ck me. Then he tells me he wont write anymore and if I want to talk I can call him. Trying to suck me back in by inviting me to call. Then he sends ANOTHER, after he said he wouldnt write anymore, telling me how my timing of the breakup sucks because he was going to take me out that evening for my bday (he never showed up to my bday party which was the final straw for me). Again, mind f*ck! No way do I believe he was planning anything. But trying to make me feel badly. All he had to do was admit he was wrong or apologize. But I guess Aquas are above that? Ugh..Im hurt but I will be fine. Good riddens. I just cant believe I wasted so much time and hope on this guy. I have never made such a dumb mistake in my life. Is this typical Aqua behavior, to not accept responsibility for anything? My ex was like that.

Dear Tiny,
I think that all Aquarius men are like that. Mine is exactly like that. And, by the way, I am not with him anymore and don't want to even see him. As I said before, they want their women to adjust to them, and of course, they will blame you if something goes wrong. It was hard at the beginning for me but now I am OK. These guys are really likable and great charmers and it's really hard to let them go. They know it and they use it to get what they want. They are very manipulative and cold hearted. I think that they need a woman who is like friend to them, also cold hearted, doesn't need a lot of their time, detached, independent, who doesn't care too much about them--that's the woman an Aquarius will fall in love with. If a woman starts to develop feelings, which usually women do because these guys are attractive--that's a huge turn off for Aquarius men. They are OK for casual relationships like "friends with benefits" if you are not attached to them emotionally or at least do not show it. But they are great charmers. I had such intense feelings for my Aquarius that I never had for any other man. Too bad. I have to move on. Hope to find a good man and wish you'll find a good man for you too! And all the best! Scorpio.

Aquarius vs. Aries Female
by: Anonymous

Wow!!
This is shocking but I've been with aquarius Male, and let me tell you it has been hell. I fell for him and listen to his lies and always telling me that he was out of town or attending a meeting. He only contact me when he needed something from me. When I needed something for him he pretend like he was on the way with it. I gave the basturd a christmas gift,and he told me that he would bring me minds. Well I never seen it until this day I still haven't seen it. When I finally seen him I ask about it, and he said...I'm a romatic person, I told him how long will I've to wait to see it. I cuss him out and told him to kiss my tail, i never want to see him every again. he never like for me to tell him good-bye, why is that about Aquarius Men? Some of the Aqua. are stalker they fall in love and just can't seem to move on and some are not. I'm a lovable person and will give to anyone but that doesn't mean for you to take advange of me. Yes don't step on them because they want to keep things the way they want it. Thet want a female who will let them do what every they want as long as you don't complaint about it. The hell with that. I'm a Aries" wheather you want to hear what I have to say or not I will let you have it!Who made you all in control and to make it alright for you to treat a good women like shit. That doesn't sit well with me. I really did love him. Thank Goodness I've put his gold digging as out my life and pray I will never see him every again.

Understand much better now!
by: Another Scorpio

Thanks for the insight. I was seeing an aquarius man. He was talking up the future, and then 2 months later he was gone. All via text. Now he's completely ignoring me. I think maybe I've said too much in response, but I couldn't help myself. I'm just trying to get on with things as if he's never coming back, even though deep down I hope he does because I did actually think he could be mr right. Argh!

Aquarius Mens vs. Aries Females
by: Anonymous

Thank for responding to my question, but still it is not good enough for me. What give them the right to lie and take or even ask if you could pay a bill for them and never repay you back your money or take a christmas gift from you and leave you with nothing. To me that is a person who is out to see what he can get from a women. That shit right their can cost him his life if not careful. People work to hard for their money and nobody wants to be know as a dame fool. If you have a job and your own business than why do they lie and take from other femals, that stuff is not right. What goes around will come back on that person. I just don't like to be played with like a dame fool. I have put him in GOD hands and he will be deault with.

Aquarius

I had no idea my aquarius guy friend had a crush on me for the longest time. He was crushing on me for 4 years. WTH? He never acted like it. Now that I think back, his behavior was different towards me than other girls. I should of cued in then. Aquarius guys like the girls they pretend not to like. It's strange. I'm a scorpio. That doesn't make sense to me. If I like a guy, he knows it. lol My aquarius disappears too. I just let him. I live my life with or without him. When he does come around, I'm happy to see him but I'm not gonna jump in his arms or anything. I love him so much more than I let on. In fact, I'm a bit obsessed with him. But it will be a cold day in hell before I let him know that. I am sure that is why he likes me so much more than other girls. Aquarius guys want what they can't have. So if you want one, act a bit like you don't want them. Don't be too starry eyed. They want a challenge. They want you to be different. They want to pursue you. These guys are used to girls throwing themselves at them, so when a girl isn't all that impressed they take notice. I miss him a lot when he disappears but I never tell him. I just ignore him back. You have to mimic them. When he is cold, you be cold. When he is hot, you be hot. When he backs off, you back off. Etc etc. Never ask him where he was, who he was with, what he's been doing. Instead, make him wonder where you were, who you were with, and what you've been doing. Trust me, he will wonder why you don't seem bothered by his disappearance. It will intrigue him. Scorpio and aquarius can be a great match. They both need their space and they are both often misunderstood. If they give it time, they can develop a connection and respect for each other that they cannot find with any other sign. I don't have to say anything to my aquarius to tell him how I feel, it's like we can read each other's minds. It's really cool. I'm not in a hurry to be in a relationship with him. I know it will happen someday. We'll probably get married. We've never even kissed, but the anticipation is killing me sometimes. I know when it happens, it will be awesome. Best advise for scorpios is to control your temper and save that sting for the important battles. Don't read too much into what he says. Pay more attention to what he does. Does he keep coming around? If so, he likes you. Giving you time is like giving you flowers. His time is precious. He has a lot of people wanting his time. Esp other women. Trust me, he's got a flock of them wanting him just as bad as you do. Good luck. This sign is perfect for the scorpio. We like mysteries, and we like to open closed books. We want the unattainable. The aquarius guy has everything we need to keep us interested forever. Just be patient and try to stay 2 steps ahead of him. Never ever ever let him think you like him more than he does.

Aquarius
by: Scorpio

Anonymous,

Very well said and very true about Aquarius men. I am a Scorpio too. But, it's very exosting to deal with Aquarius. If you have enough patience, you will probably get him after maybe many years. The problem is that we, Scorpios, don't like to bend under somebody's will. We like another person to make amendments for us, not us for them. But, if it works for you, it's great! Good luck in your relationship! Scorpio.

i met an A 4 months ago, he asked for my phone number and called and we've been going out no sex but long stimulating conversations, meeting up once a week, him being very affectionate, me not so much, I am a sagittarius, not so fond of commitment either, then he stopped calling, i called once all seemed OK, i called again a week later he suggested we met but never called so I called another week later and asked whether he did not want me to call again and he said no why would you say that, but then he never called and when I saw them by chance I was a bit angry and said so and told them they lied to me and me and they said NO! and we agreed to meet and he called me but he was a bit 'I do not know what time and when I could meet you and what do you think' and I said I do not know either, when you know let me know and I could tell he said goodbye with an attitude and then he never called me back, 4 days ago, does that mean he will never call me again?

what should I do?

I got pissed of and course him out. 2 wks ago he satisfy he's scared and didn't text for a wk. Now its been a would again should I move on ornot?

Dating an Aquarius Man
by: Scorpio

Read all the comments here and they very much ring true about the disappearing act. Just treat them like they treat you, they back off, you back off.... they WILL come around. He loves me, I love him, but I can sense when he's about to start acting weird again and I back off, but boy does my patience run thin with this bs, but found a solution in occupying my time with other things taking my mind off of him and why he's acting weird. Yes he swept me off my feet, everyday saw me, took me out, called all day, he told me he loved me first and wanted to marry me, etc. Now since he's "got me" there's no more seeing one another everyday or going out as much. There is always talk of marriage, putting a ring on my finger (even how many carats), taking me on trips, the whole nine yards, but nothing has come of it, haven't seen jack and I'm okay with this...just that I sense a lot of talk but not a doer in that aspect so I take everything he says with a grain of salt and not rely heavily on the "good" talk because I know it's just talk, but that mess has got to stop, I hate bs. He may mean well but don't talk about if it you're not about it. Right now he is asking me to hang in there with him, he loves me more than I can imagine, but how about showing it it like he did in the beginning... bent over backwards to get me, do it to keep me. I will get bored and feel unloved and move on with a quickness and not look back. Frustrating, but very intelligent goodlooking guy with a heart of gold, can't speak on the sex yet, we haven't had it, a first of any man I've ever dated. I've told him we need to have a one-on-one talk before we get serious with one another because there are some things, like I've mentioned here, I won't tolerate. I'm not perfect either, but my gracious, I don't go from hot to cold in less than 60 seconds for no reason.

9 years with an Aquarius man OMG!!!!
by: Sagittarius Woman 06

We started out as friends known him 4 yrs. U would think being friends 1st, things would have been great in a relationship. He did the disappearing acts & standing me up.But despite all that we still hung out & things were good cause we were friends. Then he wanted more. The sex was the bomb! So we started a relationship. He was very insecure person,he always thought i was doing something wrong. I thought it was cute at 1st. But as time went on it got worse. I mean he bought me nice things & vice versa. He was very controlling person, set in his ways, i couldn't wear this, calling me all the time thinking i was doing wrong. But i gave him his freedom. But when it came to me i couldn't have friends. He didn't like any of them. Everything was always about his feelings, mines was NEVER a concern to him. He could do what he wanted but when it came to me it was so different. He always felt he never did anything wrong. Blamed everything on me. I was the reason for our problems. Never home. Always with his friends, but didn't want me with mines. I gave this man unconditional love to him & his kids. But it wasn't good enough. I mean there was no loyalty 4 me in this relationship. It was about him,the kids, his family, friends, his baby mama drama & I came LAST! If i had a problem he would find a way to make it about him or i was the problem. All the good i gave his man as if i WAS his wife. Which that was a promise 4 me 2 be his wife, that even after being with him 9 years i have yet to get a ring. I love this man more than love could love itself. But he always looked 4 the worse in me which was not much 2 look 4. I mean everybody has issues but 4 me my good out weight the bad. But no matter how i tried to prove to him he had a good woman on his side. He pushed me away. I just will never understand him. I mean how is it that a man has a woman who loves him unconditionally , loyal, & just a great woman all round. LET THEM GO! I left him thinking he would fight for us. But to find out he was cheating on me in the end. Sorry but they will cheat they will do whatever to make things good 4 them including cheating ( aquarius man). But, to think after i knew he cheated i felt i didn't want to lose 9 years so i fought 4 him. But he still didn't fight back. He acted as if he didn't care to lose me at all. So, its been almost 2 years since i left him which throughout that time we still talked off & on & sex 2. But i just made it worse on me. Cause i was holding on 2 hope 4 us when he was doing him. So,i still have love 4 this man which i know may sound crazy. But i know he is not the man 4 me. Which not to brag but he will NEVER find another woman like me. So its truly his loss. But as time goes on so must I. Cause still to this day he still the same non caring attitude just for his self only. So, they are very unpredictable men. Who i feel don't ever want to commit. He had 2 long relationships be 4 me & guess who caught all the hurt they did to him. ME!

To Sagittarius Woman 06
by: Scorpio

I'm so sorry to hear. 9 years is a long time to be with someone. This happened to my bestfriend, but for 8 years she was with this man and he did finally get engaged to her but kept putting the wedding off, she even went out and bought the wedding gown, parents rented the wedding hall, only for him to make up an excuse, so some things started getting fishy and she found out he had been cheating on her all 8 years they were together. If I start to sense my Aqua guy is giving me the runaround I'm Audi 5000, no regrets. Not that I'm thinking he's cheating/seeing other women on me, just that these disappearing acts better be for what he says they are because I have a heck of an intuition. I'm giving him the space, but if it's anything else man up and let me know so I can go about my business. I have been accused of things, constantly, like I have to reassure him I am not cheating or even thinking about cheating, we have had terrible arguments about this and it stems from his past relationships. And he is questioning my friends too, which I'm having a problem with because I don't question him about his friends. They were there before I was so who am I to tell him to get rid of his friends and vice versa.

by: Scorpio

Thanks yes 9 years is a very long time. Well it wasn't that he was disappearing while we were together that was in the beginning when we where friends. But he did the same thing to me calling my friends asking them where i am if i didn't answer my phone. When he has NEVER caught me doing a thing. He constantly accused me through our who relationship. Ever time he tried to prove i was cheating guess what it blew up in his face.
But he was accuse me of it. Which i trusted this man too much that he made me look so foolish in the end. Cause 1st i thought i would be his wife and 2nd it end up he was cheating. Now he tries to blame me for him having friends cause i didn't want to be his friend i told him i was anger and needed time because i couldn't be your friend cause i was still in love with him. See still getting blamed ..lol Well right now i am trying to move forward and praying that God delivers me from this man. Cause he is just thinking about him as its always been.

Sagittarius Woman06
by: Scorpio

Yes also, i feel the reason i took ALL the pain was from his past too. He says they both cheated on him. Which i tried to tell him i am not them. But i just got the end of the stick when it came to him.
But girl yes he did the same thing accused me all the time and yes through our WHOLE relationship i had to prove to this man that i wasn't cheating on him. No matter what i was doing any and everything i could to show him i was faithful and true to him ONLY. But he didn't get it but it was because of what he was doing to me. Betraying me behind my back not being faithful to me. But still to this day he hasn't heard a thing of me doing wrong.
But i have given this man every chance to have me back, but he just plays this hard, pride role as if i don't matter to him at all. But i wonder does he hurt or ever feel bad that he lost a good woman or will he ever regret losing me. ya know.

just another experience
by: Anonymous

i was friends with an aqua man for 7 years, the relationship was never sexual, but very intellectually engaging, fun, and light. even though we were just friends he had a tendency to go off for months at a time and i wouldn't hear from hom or see him. and, when he came back into the picture he'd want to pick up exactly where we left off, as though he'd never left. when i asked what he'd been up to, it was always 'busy with friends.' even as a friend it was hard to deal with this behavior and he was never there when i needed him, yet i was always there when he needed a friend; it was definitely always a one-sided friendship, although he'd probably deny that. so, i decided i'd had enough of his juvenile behavior and actually told him i didn't want to be friends anymore. he responds with 'ok' after 7 years of close friendship he didn't even care it was ending. and, to make it worse, he said he had liked me as more than a friend the entire time. so, for 7 years we were dating from his warped aqua perspective; he didn't even need or want sex to consider us a relationship. weird and ridiculous. and they don't want games? please.

Do acquarious then stay away because of guilt too?
by: Anonymous

Hi thanks for that amazing insight...i was wondering if acquarious, when they realise they behaved not so nicely, if they stay away because they feel they failed and that the person wn't like them again...do they also stay away because of guilt?
I'm in contact with an acquarious, he says he wants ot be mates, but then doesn't contact me...i have contacted to make positive affirmations but then nothing back...he sent a text with a X last time...and it had been 5 weeks since he had done so...i wish i knew what to do...whether to give up or not...

I've been dating my aqua for 8mnths and it has been one rocky ride. The sex is awesome and I'm so hooked on it that its hard for me to dump him. He pulls these stupid vanishing acts and then calls me and wants to cuddle and make love. I have never met anyone like this that is so hard to relate to, its almost like I feel like I have to concur this man before I can end it. I love him and I don't know why because he doesn't do much to deserve it. He has some sort of spell on me and I don't like it at all. I am recently starting to treat him the same way he treats me but it doesn't seem to phase him one bit. I am a Leo, so I will lick my wounds in private, him never knowing that he has put a stain on my heart and I will move on.:(

19yrs in the making
by:

OMG!! Thanks for the insight everyone.
I'm an Aries female, the aqua male I have known for 19 years!!! We met in college and I had a massive crush on him, but he always had some hot girl as his girlfriend. We were friends however and we would hang out together with other friends all the time. We went to school in Europe, and after graduating we lost touch. He got married, and I got married to other people. I however ended up getting divorced. Urging that time my Aqua man an I became friends on Facebook, he lived in Europe and I had moved to the USA. We would message each other sharing pics of our kids every once in a while. All of a sudden a few months ago he calls me telling me he's in the USA now and his wife had told him its ok for him to leave. He has been calling me daily talking for hours about all sorts of things. He would not talk about his wife so I'd not know what is going on with that. We haven't met yet but he says that he will come visit me soon. I don't know what to make of this, r we just friends or has he realized that it should have been me all this time ( I'm being sarcastic here lol)!! He's gorgeous and charismatic so I wouldn't mind hooking up with him. I'm a busy woman however and don't have the time or patience for games. I also wonder if he's pulling a disappearing act with his wife and using me as entertainment... Thoughts appreciated!

So confused and lost!
by:

I've been dealin with my aquarius man for almost a year and i dont kno how he truly feels. When we first met everything was sweet. Goodmorning texts every morning, on the phone all the time, spending plenty of time together. I was really into him and he was really into me. Then we lost contact somehow for about 2months. During those two months he always crossed my mind. Then i said if it was meant then we will meet again. And we did!

Once we did meet back up the connection we had was still there but all the txts and phone calls wasn't happening as much as they once was. Then the disappearing acts started. He will disappear for like two weeks at a tims. I will sit and think like is he mad or not into me or do he just need his space? Truely confused. But then once again we got back in contact with one another. I told him how i was feeling about how one i feel he is totally into me and the next he is not. He told me he seriously likes me and he is not goin anywhere. But me being me and a pisces i need proof. Action speaks louder than words and his actions was not speakin what he told me. Like im so confused and i hate bein confused.some part of me is sayin move on with ya life but im so attracted to him. But i cant deal with bein left in the dark!

Another aquarius man that i kno is no where like that and they both got the same bday and everything. This guy expresses his feelings and dont really disappear like the one i like so freakin badd. Idk if this pisces can handle all the back and forth and disappearing acts!

SSDT-Same *hit Different Toilet!
by: Gemini Woman

March 27th 2012
I am a 32yo single Mom of a 7yo Autistic Child. I usually stay home to care for my 92 yo Grandmother. And I work from home. The beginning of last Month I met an Aquarius Man..well he was/is 22 so barely 17? lol Men don't mature til they hit 68 anyways.

ok. When he and I began talking he knew that I was trying to talk with another Fella who lived maybe an hour away from me. He was Taurus, that didn't work out. I told him: listen if things don't work between me and the Taurus then I'm all yours. Our conversations were fun/flirty. And we quickly discovered that we literally lived only about a 15 minute walk away from one another. But before we even met. I had one BIG RED FLAG w/him. The day I deleted my account. I created a fake account...to spy of course and low and behold. He changed his relationship status from taken to Nothing. Then the next day I re open the account to see and I even told him I wanted to see if his account was open. I asked: Babe why is your status gone? He imeediately put his status back up to taken.

Fast forward. We both kept our accounts open a few days more b4 I used that fake account w/fake pic and all(no he had no idea it was me. I chatted him up and he flirted with me. Long story short. I got back on MY account the one he met me as and I told him: Guess what? My cousin won't be sending u no pics! He goes: hahahah I was just messing around I wouldn't really meet up w/no one but whatever. OK
Fast forward. I forgave it. I took his WORD for it.
He deleted his account on Feb 21st then I deleted mine. But I reopened mine hoping he'll get a new one :(
It's been 2 weeks since I've heard from him. Though we were only seeing each other for about 4 weeks. I'm pretty sure something I said put him off to me but. It had to be the voice mail I left him about 2 days AFTER the last text he sent me which went something like this: My voicemail message: I dunno whats got u so occupied that u can't return calls but I'm starting to not give a *hit! Last heard from him about 2 days b4 that. After that..any attempts I try to contact him are to no avail.I've cried myself to sleep wondering, thinking, beating myself up to the idea that I had done something wrong and that I would never see him again but NO. He just wasn't ready, and probably won't ever be from what I've heard. Yes chemistry was awesome. I still miss him, But after coming across this forum/blog WOW I'm NOT alone! I was sure it was me. But why should we keep hush if we're in a relationship? Isn't that what talking is about? You want space take it. I do think he's worth another shot but not sure how long I'm willing to wait THAT LONG!
Maybe he met someone else? So many maybe's I dunno but I'm tired of crying over Men who love to come in and out of my life like it's a revolving door.

Maybe he met someone else? So many maybe's I dunno but I'm tired of crying over Men who love to come in and out of my life like it's a revolving door. I hope he matures soon because even though I never mentioned anything about marriage or being committed I KNEW that fantasizing about marriage was going to jinx it. Now look? Whatever's happening is out of my control!
I've almost driven myself to madness trying to wonder what I could do to get his attention. I know now that it's not that he doesn't know that I'm here. He knows. I'm pretty sure I said something he feels guilty about and is not into confrontations. I used to be that way. Boy does he have growing up to do!
At the moment I'm in my 9th day of sugar detox and am doing great. WOW! So I relate to this so called disappearing act..with this guy. NOT my first love....
P.S.
My first love was aquarius and we were 2gether 2.5 years
Will update when/if I can/or hear from him ;)

How bout the friendship with an Aquarian guy?
by: Anonymous

I'm great friends with an Aquarian guy who's 9 yrs younger to me. I'm just too fond of him & care a lot bout him. I'm a Libra. I'm pretty sorted in my mind & he knows it pretty clear too that i'm not looking for anything romantic with him. I love spending time with him & genuinely just care a whole lot bout him! He's accepted it many times that i've been a great friend & he appreciates how i've always been there. All our friends who've seen us together say there's undeniable attraction between us. A lot of people even asked if we were dating each other. I never bother bout what people think because we really are best of friends! But lately there's been a little awkwardness between us because people have been interfering a lot. It still hasn't affected me. I am really sure i only want pure friendship with him & i also told him to ignore what people are saying. I never denied the attraction but i don't want to do anything bout it because i don't want to spoil our friendship. I somehow take more time to get over a lost friendship than a lost relationship. I wanted to sort this before any misunderstanding happened so wanted to meet him. But he started making excuses & avoided meeting. He told me he's stressed out due to some things & avoiding talking to everyone. But i knew its just me he's ignoring. Initially i called him once in a day & messaged in general clearly stating that its okay if he doesn't reply. He ignored my calls & replied only to a few texts when he felt like. He had some exam for 2 weeks so i let him be. I haven't called him since 2 weeks. Just messaged 'all the best' on the days he had exams. He replied to a few texts & ignored the rest. Its been 2 days since his exam is over. I still haven't heard from him. I really would appreciate it, if i could get any help here. My friendship with him is too precious to lose it just like that without giving a try to do something bout it. I really want him to be a part of my life & i want to be there for him too. Can you tell me why he must be behaving like this?Please can you tell me what should i do & how should i go bout it?

Aquarius Man Behaviour.. Response from real aquarians preferred.
by: Awake

I met aquarian man who did nothing but showed me enthusiasm and interest buti wasnt interested because i found him quite ude, abrupt, dominatind and unappealing but saw him every day as he was doing work on my home with my uncle. I was hospitable due to this, but he grew on me and asked my me, yet uncle to give me his number, as he did nothing but goes on about me all the time i was told, however, i ***eventually*** gave in. ****************************************************He asked me to borrow money and didnt like my reaction, and he keeps asking me for lifts and once he knew i didnt want to and i know he isnt happy about that but ive tried to help him where i can. He wanted to see me every day and then pulled back,but ive sent him some really sweet romantic messages, and he has reacted baldly to them and is criticizing and analyzing me and and said to stop sending such messages, and that he looks forward to never speaking to me again, yet he always messages and has continued to do so and he has called... He has been distant but drill there and when i wanted to see him before he turned on me.. he asked me why so even though i respond to his messages with no more than a simple answer and I answer his calls and do not indulge in conversation.. I just answer any questions to avoid him criticizing the way in converse. It all comes across rather childish and while it will NEVER be me to chase him, if he contacts me, unless i move onto someone, i will answer him and leave it to go how it goes, provided he is not rude because if he is, then he will be ignored until he finds a way to rectify it and i will not take any s*it, and will cut him out of my mind while he is acting the fool.. On writing this, i fell like i should change my number but when i cut him off once before, he got frightened and turned up at the front door days later.. He knows i dont struggle to meet men, but i do not behave vein, i always dress well and beautify but i keep natural.. i have a lot going for me, i drive a nice car and career and house is in top rank, so perhaps he thinks i may be of use but then he appears a bit nervous as he did at the start like he has no confidence around me but im certainly not a great lover of boys.. Any aquariuses that can shed some light would be apprecisated buti cannot say id be interested in going on but believe me, i wont chase the man or entertain his rubbish.. phones can be hung up quickly in a decent manner and abrupt conversations can be ended.. I am interested in progress, a good life,spiritual development and beautifying the home to the max, and while a man would be a bonus, not at the cost of my sanity

Turning the tables on your Aquarius Man
by: Ana

I'm a Cancer with an Aquarius Moon who dated an Aquarius with a Pisces Moon and I had him on an emotional roller coaster. Not because I'm possessive or clingy, though I am emotional. After dating for a while I felt like he wasn't making me a priority in his life and my reaction was to take off and run. I wasn't playing a game, I'm a straight shooter and I don't take crap like that from someone who I've made a priority in my life. So I did a disappearing act on him. I completely shut him out of my life - did not take calls, refused to see him when he showed up, sent back letters he sent to me, shut him out like he didn't exist. And you know what, he went bezerk .... begging to talk to me, begging to see me, trying to entice me anyway he could, even making up stupid reasons for wanting to contact me, like he saw these curtains that would look great in my mother's house. Ha, ha, what a joke. I let him suffer for a long, long, time. He even sent a telegram that it was over and he didn't want to see me anymore, apparently not realizing that I already made that decision by cutting him out of my life. After about 2 months of this treatment I took a call from him and we went back out. A week after that he asked me to marry him and we've been married for 27 years. The key to an Aquarius man is to not take any crap from them. As soon as they start their distancing act just turn the tables and do a disappearing act - and mean it. Like - you can't make time for me, well I'm going to give you all the time in the world, - like forever. They'll realize what they lost after your gone and you'll never again be treated like a doormat by this guy again. What do you think of that Aquarius man who wrote this article?

Question
by: Cassie

My aquarius ex boyfriend is being hot and cold with me. He says he loves me, but not on the same level that I love him. In short, I love him more. But, he wants me to be his best friend. He recently went on a date with this girl that I have never met, but then he told me about the date and what happened two weeks after it happened. I told him I was hurt by it, and he said he knew that I would be hurt thats why he told me. Then, I told him he either had to choose me or the other girls, and surprisingly, he chose me. But, I am afraid he will just try to hide the other girls from me since I don't go out of my way to text or call him. He does it all. Recently, I spent 2 days with him, and it was really nice. He still has feelings for me its obvious, but what should I do. He told me I will always have an upper hand over other girls because he knows me better and feels comfortable with me. I mean, do I even stand a chance of getting back with him?

My confusing relationship
by: Anonymous

Hi everyone! i need some input in my confusing relationship. It's a LDR have known him for a yr and yes I do love him! (aquarious)We broke up from mid Dec-end of march. I emailed him etc all the things I shouldn't have done but gave it a NC after and messaged him on fb and it was all ok again.
Anyways it started out fine again till now, hes been ignoring me on fb, i can send him messages and he will ignore. I've told him I want a relationship no friends etc. so last couple of days I sent him a message saying he doesn't need to talk to me just delete me of his fb and I'll know that hes not into a relationship but he hasn't done nothing. No messages back and he hasn't deleted me. Any input on this? Yes he's told me that he loves me a week ago and before too.

Actually we broke over some miscommunication the first time. And I got pretty angry and said stuff that I shouldn't have. He did say ....I would have contacted u but the mean stuff I said was enough. I know I know .....I was angry!
Anyways Yes I agree LD has a lot to do with it.
Just if he had deleted himself off my fb himself this time ......it would have just told me he's not interested in a relationship that's all! And of course I wouldn't then have in my mind, be looking for him on my fb. What should I do? pls help

Anna pls help or an Aquarious
by: Anonymous

Thank you Anna! I think some of my questions have been answered. The only thing is I am in a LDR ....I've seen him a few times .....but just as a true Aquarious he does his disappearing act on and off and I am getting really sick of it! Yes I love him! And he says he does too. He's on my Facebook and I have sent him messages first to talk to him and just recently I sent him a message saying I want a relationship and no friend thing if he's not ok with that to delete me off his Facebook .....well he hasn't deleted me but hes still on with ignoring my messages. Is there a way I can keep him on my Facebook but also do something about all this ignoring?
Thank

Ennui
by: Aries w/Aquarius Rising

As an Aries with an Aquarius rising, I can certainly relate to an Aries level of impatience. I too have met an Aquarius, 2 months, and find the lack of verbal communication insipid and ennui has set in for me. I am courteous and timely in my responses (text communication) however, I find this mental confusion uninteresting. Despite my distance, I receive updates as to their whereabouts. Quite frankly, I prefer my solitude to this mental immaturity. Best of luck to everyone!

why aquarius disapper
by: Anonymous

Im an aqua men
not all of us are like that but we all like time for ourselves
The reason we dont show emotion is that what happend too us we were kids immagine losing the most important friends family and partner constantly the problem is we care so much it hurts and we try too hide it if you want your aqua to show more show him you are not going anywhere be aggressive but not too aggressive let him talk sometimes get him too unlock his emmotions without having him feel bad or awkward doNT let him Always in charge be hi opponent friend and lover come up with unordinary ideas take charge sometimes dont be shy be blunt if this dont work he is not the one just move on too another and if it does he is going nowhere and will happly change for you but this takes time and it hurts but if he truly love you he will do it but at times give him a little time alone too suck you in and absorb the love you have too give

More Insight into the Aqua Men
by: Jay

The Aquarians research the wonderful things of life, the everyday little things that people overlook. They connect the dots of these little things and make them bigger and more beautiful. In relationships, they study the little things you do and connect it on a grander scale. Hence it seems they can see into your thoughts and say or do the right thing at the right time. The perfect mind reader.
The Aquarian can absorb tremendous amounts of love, goodness and beauty without being changed much by it. He also pours it out, in the same way received, on the next person and everyone close to him. Unfortunately, this burden is too much for one man to carry, and eventually it begins to wear the Aquarian down. Then he has to recharge his power source by taking time off alone. The Aquarian would very much love to recharge without disappearing but most people won't let him! I mean, who wants to let go of that kind of love and beauty? At the slightest sign of withdrawal from the Aquarian, people begin to fuss, nag, complain, and criticize. This makes him run away altogether. The greater the emotional drain, the greater the recharge time. The Aquarian goes to absorb the wonderful things of life, and then return to shower the beauty they've absorbed. An endless cycle of charge, discharge, and recharge.
The Aquarian also prefers self-healing after a crisis and will take time out to heal rather than accept help from friends.
As for the issue of mixed signals, people often react badly when an Aquarian is direct in speech. To many, his "NO" is like a death sentence and his "YES' is life eternal. So he uses words like maybe, I’ll try, I’ll think about it....etc.
The Aquarian needs to stop worrying too much about people and stop trying to save them from emotional death. He needs to learn to say "YES" or "NO" and leave it at that. But he can’t because he is always taking time to make up his mind. Always trying to make things work, trying to see if he can give you what you want, and trying to figure out if that is what he also wants.

You are the other woman!
by: Anonymous

I have been with an aquarious for 6 years. I didn't want him and it drove him crazy and he would cry and just be very emotional. Even tattooed my name on his arm in our first 6 months of dating. I would have to say to the girls dating these men, I play the WIFE that doenst provide many emotional needs so he wonders to talk to you but don't get to involved cause I/Aries am the one he has always wanted to be with but life/stress take a toll and you are the "outlet" fantasy to escape from the reality he really wants but can't always make work. If he wants to be with you, he will. Mine was always has been and says he never slept with anyone else, he just had no one to listen. So, let the aquarious go and he will start working for you but the SECOND you show emotion, he is so desperate for it and attention they almost sabotage everything for more of it.

Great guy Friend, Bad at Commitment
by: Anonymous

I'm a gemini girl. I've been seeing an aquarius man for 7 years off and on. More on. He is verbally respectful, caring, sweet and will do anything to help me and anyone else. The problem with these guys is that they will never fall in love with you. They will try and date you but that is all as they love their independence more. They will date other women while they date you and you won't even know. They are very good at playing games. They will date 3-4 girls at the same time. They are smooth heart criminals. These men are sweet hearts and know how to sway their women to fall in love with them to keep their women coming back for more. Ladies, if he doesn't marry you or commit to you with in 2 years. Trust me, he has others. Move on or because if not, he can continue this non-chalant relationship going for decades. They will send txt's to you one minute saying how he can't wait to see you and the next he pulls a dissapearing act while he's dating others. He will rather travel with his family and friends than travel with you. This is to keep you from getting too close b/c he has a life which you do not fit in too. Let go and Move on.

Cap girl trying to deal with an Aqua guy
by: Anonymous

I found this forum and suddenly am feeling so much better that things that have been bothering me are shared by so many..
Yes I am also one of the ship-wrecked gals that Aqua guys leave behind.I met this guy 8-9 yrs back..I was very young then and he 8 yrs older. He knew how to play me, bringing on all his charm, leading me on till i helplessly fell in love. and then yes, he did all the disappearing acts which confused and hurt me soo much...but he would come back with an apology and one thing most Cap girls cant resist is a sincere sorry. That's cos we think they really mean it. well I will never know whether he actually meant it or not...but 2 yrs of this to-n-fro later I found out from another friend that he had a wife !
That completely knocked me over. turned out he was divorced - but for a whole month he didnt even tell the complete truth. I believed that I had been played by a married guy - for funsies.
Later he just sms-ed saying OBV I am divorced but I knew you would react like this so I didnt tell u. I just about managed to reply " its so over" and then thats IT.
what hurt me wasnt the fact tht he was divorced..but how he cudn't care less how I felt. He couldn't even have the courtesy to apologies once..or even grant me a closure.

It was a huge blow to me cos as a Cap girl I trust the person I love implicitly. atleast I did back then. anyways that hurt and tht love somehow never went away. eventually I married and now am in a stable relationship with a nice taurean...
and suddenly AFTER 8 yrs this aqua guy has resurfaced. We chatted online..nearly everyday for 8 days and now he is doing the disappearing act again.
this time...all I have to say is SCREW YOU.

all this shit about "ooh the aquarian needs his space and thats why he disappears" is BS. everyone needs their space. everyone gets confused by emotions, relationships and commitments are hard.
but all this so called apathy and 'fear' is NO LICENSE to hurt others. yes i hv been in situations where the guy has been in love with me and I hvnt...and tht was even more a reason I felt tht I had to be careful what I feel/say/act with him...cos u can NEVER be in peace by breaking someone's heart.

I have always loved the aqua guy for the person he is but NOT for this so called 'player' thing.
I agree to the cancer lady...DONT TAKE CRAP from them. If they cant get their shit together then they dont deserve to be in a relationship.
Karma pays back u know... this aqua guy is still single and lonely. I dunno if he has found any love again but I wont be surprised if he hasnt.
and I am not even sorry for that.

there are many good aqua friends of mine (they do make the best friends) but I would tell them the same thing....treat those who love you carefully or u will pay in someway or the other. if u think u r above everyone else and can remain happy being aloof and emotionally abstained - think twice.u only have urself to face.

love

Aqua mindf***? No way!
by: Bee

Taylor!!!!
Thank you! This is my Aquarius EXACTLY!
What you said is soooooo to the T, it's like the clouds cleared!
He says a lot of 'accidental' things and I would analyze but he told me to take everything at face value. This is a F*** Buddy situation so when he started saying he liked me more than he should, said he cared about me and saw potential to lead further it threw me waaaaaay off. I automatically started thinking he was hinting he wanted it to go somewhere else. He wud say these types of things all the time thought he was tryin to mindf*** me. Now I get it.
He must have sensed I was feeling him emotionally and distanced himself, tho he sends a brief text everyday to. 'check in'. He definitely brushes my invitations off ALOT lately. It's frustrating at times cus this is supposed to be a sexual arrangement and I'm not getting it as often. Booooo lol
You have nooooo I idea how much u cleared up! Or maybe u do but THANKS

Disappearing break up Aquarian
by: Anonymous

I had a relationship with an Aquarian man for 1 year. He persued me, was all over me for the first 8 mths. He talked about the future and made plans for us. He was always spontaneous with everyone is his life but I quite liked the spontaneity as I can be too. I got quite involved with his children, weekends away etc. He started a new work project and then started to disappear for a week at a time. The distance grew, then I woul back off and he would be in contact again and making plans etc. The last time I saw him, we were like one big happy family and he had made changes in his house and room for me and then... he disappeared! It's been a month and no word from him. I called and left 1 message, a couple of texts and an email..and no reply. This man is nearly 50 and did tell me he had disappeared on women before. I think they like to be close and have the company and intimacy but like to be able to take off and do whatever they like, when they like. This is all understandable as i like to have my freedom too. I want to be with someone who let's me have my freedom too but one needs to be able to communicate too. I think Aquarisns can be quite emotionally selfish in so far as they need you when they need you but expect you to be quite independent as well. The break up was never made official by phone call or conversation. Just a text saying im sorry i dont have much to give. He has suffered from depression and his mum died last year which he had been grieving and trying to come to terms with. But such a cowardly exit I think. Has anyone had a similar experience with a break up with an Aquarian man?

Ummm, I'm perplexed
by: Scorpio

Hi there, my Aqua man and myself have been dating for 5 months tomorrow. It has been awesome, like a Harlequin novel. We have been courting eachothers values truly, and haven't even slept together, I am almost 40 and he 49, I want to wait until I know who my life partner is going to be, and he has respected that, neither of us have been married. He has told me he usually knows if he is in love at 5-6 mos, and has only been in 2 love relationships, one lasting for 17 years, they share 2 children.I understand his need for freedom and until about a month ago we only spent 3-4 days together every 2 weeks. About 2 months ago he started referring to me as his girlfriend. He took a break about 2 months ago after a few fights where I felt were unresolved so I threatened in heat of argument to leave. I realized after his break that I should not say I am going to leave as this frightens him, so he says and he is unsure if he wants to move forward when he feels threatened that I will leave. I am addressing that and we had a while where only 1 argument and I didn't run, he talked me out of it. Then last week after he has been calling and seeing me more, were getting closer, we got into it again. It was a miscommunication, he took a break again. He has texted me once during this time because he said he missed me. He said, he is seeking clarity as to whether he wants to push forward in this or not. He is supposed to come to a wedding with me this weekend and the day he texted me, he said not to invite a girlfriend, I would hear from him by end of week before wedding. He told me he has considered giving me space in his closet at his house and has considered telling me that he loves me. Is he trying to let me down easy. A few days ago, he thanked me for my patience, and let me know it goes a long way. I feel like he is trying to hint at me that he is not gone, but he knows I'm off this week and I have heard nothing more. I don't get it. Thanks for any feedback, I need some hope or not. He says that he wants to marry someday, but he has never been so I am starting to wonder if we can't make it through hurdles, or if I just need to let him have like a week a month where we don't talk, even if not fighting, but I am not sure he is coming back this time?

Does this guy like me at all
by: Anonymous

I met this aquarious a year ago. We texted for 9 months then he finds a reason to ask to actually call me. We talk almost every day, into the night, and we have talked about EVERYTHING. I caved and told him I had a crush on him. He didn't respond. But he kept inviting me over to hang out on the preface of "work stuff" he'd walk around w/ no shirt on, show me all these pictures of his past, he even made me a special dish of his and brought it to me. Thing is I feel like a normal guy if they know you like them and don't like you back, stay away from you. But he doesn't, in fact we talk more. He even told me he thought it was cool how I told him that and don't expect anything, I don't know how to take that. He's talked about all his past girlfriends. One thing that annoys me is how hes always like "oh that girl is hot" or this girl is Hot, I totally get jealous. Im so in love with him, I'm absolutely helpless, I try to ignore his calls, but i can't I value his friendship to me too much. We've never kissed or anything, I am just clueless with what to do, I guess I can't really do anything. Some of my friends tell me to make a move, but why would I do that? He KNOWS I like him, if he liked me at all wouldn't he do something to let me know, or am I suppossed to read into his actions? He's so important to me. His actions scream to me that he likes me, the calls, the sharing all his life info, telling me everything. and sometimes I feel very confident about that fact. then other times like today i feel weak. Is there any hope at all or am I just wasting my time.

Should have read this sooner
by: Anonymous

I have a friend that fits exactly what you described. I'm a cancer and trying to make things work with Aquarius, sometimes drive me mad. I don't understand the roll coaster of the dating pattern we have...He wants to see me often one week, nothing the next week, then on again, off again, this last time was a month...then on again! I wish I would have read this article a long time ago.

SSDT 3/27/2012 update
by: Gemini Woman

I posted on Mar 27th titled it Same *hi7 Different toilet.
So after not hearing from him for almost 2 Months and calling him one day. Out of the blue he actually answered. I told him I was surprised he answered and he said HE was surprised I even called. Long story short we have been together about 4 to 5 Months. And though he doesn't contact me every day or heck every other day I'm actually ok with it. I don't expect him to profess his Love or feelings for me but I can sense that he is fond of me. As I am for him. He's still in College, now working part time. We don't see each other that often and that's okay with me also. Our lives aren't that crazy different. But in a sense we live different lives. He's a student working part time and I stay home taking care of my sick/elderly Grandmother. I find that keeping conversations light and fun with him will keep him coming back. Mentioning past grievances won't. I've found that the more accepting I am of him, the more comfortable he is with me. He's still the same. Very quiet over the phone and in person. But if I spark a convo he's more than willing to respond. I some times wonder what's going on in his head/life. Like when he gets a text or call. I can't see who it is but he'll look at his phone to see. Hmm makes me wonder. I won't go crazy thinking: Oh he might be seeing someone else. Nah all that negative thinking/energy will take your relationship to the dumps. And as a Gemini Woman who loves her independence I can honestly say that I love my Aquarius Guy!

Wanting him
by: Amy

Before I read this great information I didn't know how to deal with the Aquatius male. We had an amazing beginning. Told me he loved me wanted to be with me and take care of me. I had to leave the state for some time and all of a sudden became distant and cold. I guess my response to it was emotional and wanting answers which obviously didn't take well to because now he will not talk to me whatsoever. Ive never had a love like this before. I don't want to lose him so as of today I will ignore him which to me is an odd way of getting him back. But anyway will he come back around? Am I wasting my time? It's exhausting!!

Another Aqua mans input for the Ladies
by: BrklynAzNaqua

First I have to say, everything you wrote is 110% on point. Im a genuine aqua man, and only thing i have to add for the ladies having troubles with their aqua man is just be as supportive as you can. Give them feedback for thats what they thrive on, social interactions. Be the person to make his tie and coffee and telling him "Go get em tiger" when he leaves the house. Be that special lady there when he needs support and an euphoria outside of his crazy hectic life. We're very spontaneous, We tend and service to anyone who needs our help and love. because even though we're humanitarians and have love for everybody, we subliminally know who's that special someone in our life, and in the end of the day we'll just have that urge to connect with that person. After a while of being there for your aqua man he's going to realize it was more than just friendship and that we cannot live without you. That's when we feel a need to be committed to that person so that she'll never leave our side. But like Taylor said, If you make us feel guilty, we'll leave you. Simply because we dont like to hurt people and if we feel like you're going to be hurt in the proccess of our relationship because you can't handle our life hectic life. We'll make that 180 spin because we don't want to have that burden of hurting someone.

Aqua Men & Dating
by: Anonymous

So, if an Aquarius guy brushes off an invitation and tells you he's busy, does that mean he's lost interest in you? Or, should you just give him space?

I would never confront him about it, because I don't really need to. I believe in space. I just need to know whether I should waste my time pursuing him or not.

SSDT 3/27/12-12/16/2012 update
by: Gemini Woman

Ok. I may be just paranoid about him not contacting me for more than a few days. It's Sunday. I haven't heard from him since Tuesday and Between Monday and tuesday we had some pretty intense conversations as I told him that I was having stronger feelings for him. 2 weeks prior to this I showed him a letter telling him he was growing on me. He said he felt the same. So now that I told him I feel stronger feelings towards him he seems to have dipped on me. If I thought I had room I would share the texts between him and I from those 2 days. Any way. Today I did some P.I work and saw that he had reactivated his okcupid account. If that isn't proof of him seeing others then what is? Because when we started seeing eachother again in July he told me had deactivated the account bc he thought the Woman on th site were fake. So I text him yesterday/today. Since I spoke to him i've spoken to a few of my Aquarius Male friends. And I know they all have this fondness for me bc they say they know I'm wonderful/loving but I'm detached to all of them. Yet I'm the opposite with my bf and now he's acting distant? When he should be the one saying he loves me? Am I paranoid? ugh He said: I like you a lot and I care for you but I'm just not ready for love or to get lovey dovey. I said: We do get lovey dovey, when we're being intimate duh. He went lmao :p.......sighs so confused with his actions I hope he lost his fone again!

The aquarian man relationship
by: Anonymous

I am an Aquarius woman, I would indulge in doing my own activities and mingling with other friends so that I don't focus on the aquarian man to provide me happiness. I will be faithful though and not sleep with other guys but i would have other guy friends I do other activities with except having intimacy and by so doing you are giving your aquarian man space which make him wonder what you are up to. If he sees that your life is not all around him, I bet you he will make a u-turn and start chasing after you because he does not want to loose you. If he suspects that you have other good looking guys around you as friends, if he likes you he will work harder and do whatever to keep u and not to loose you to your male friends. I donot call, he makes the call to me and if I see a missed call I would return the call. If I am not busy and missing him, I will call my girlfriends and chi chat on the phone. Take it slow with the aquarian man and he will wonder if you like him or not and then wants to get your attention. As an aquarian woman I am currently dating an aquarian man but with my confidence and indepence, it swifts him off his feet. I agree not to ask them where they are or calling as if u r investigating on and if u do that, the aquarian man will lie to you so as not to hurt your feelings. If he is acting that way treat him equally that's what I would do so he sees how that feels. Good luck to u all.

Aquarius typical disappearing act
by: Pissed off Cancer

There's only one reasonable explanation behind an Aquarius man disappearing act: cowardness.

This guy found me after 11 years at a social networking website - just when I had forgotten about him completely.

He started to seduce me again, texting me day and night, facetime me, skype me, surprise me, messing up my entire life and then - guess what - disappearing act!

Unbelievable...!!!

I had moved on with my life, got married and had absolutely no need for him to commit or anything like that. We live far apart and it wasn't even a real relationship...

So all the justifications: freedom, fear of commitment - all bullshit.

I enjoyed the chatting and it was quite flattering to have this guy thinking about me and sharing stuff together - in this one month he entered again in my life.

I still have his text:

"I would hate to lose you after finding you again..."

Looks now such a big fat lie.

I've got only one word to describe him: despicable.

Taurus dating Aquarius
by: Anonymous

Any advice for Taurus women and Aqs...
I'm so glad I found this post.. I thought it was me all this time.. I have been jumping from foot to foot to please this aquarius who is 6 years younger than me..

He just told me I should not be concern with anything he does outside of our "friendship"... I wanted to slap him!

Very very strange

I can tell you one thing: an Aquarius is quite a handful.

If you run into one of them: run, run away fast!

Aquarius / Virgo
by: Anonymous

I am a virgo female and met an Aqaurius and the connection is amazing, we can talk for hours and hours and not get bored. I've been talking to him for over a year and a couple of months ago he just stopped talking. He stopped responding to me and when I asked him about it, he came up with an excuse and said he wasn't ignoring me. He was his usual lovable self in his reply but still has disappeared. How can someone go for months without talking to you, and still care? He once told me that when he doesn't want someone anymore he just stops talking to them. I would rather he come out and tell me that he has found someone else or isn't interested but instead he says he isn't ignoring me, and is fine with not speaking for months! Doesn't he miss me like I miss him? I don't think he does.

Tired of the cat and mouse game ...
by: Anonymous

So tired of the cat and mouse game. I have been doing this for 3years. First 2 years he was in and out. Come to find out it was because he was seeing someone else... I would ended and be done.. He start texting and calling saying all the right things.. We we are good it's great couldn't ask for a better relationship. But damn when he goes into this being distant and if we have a argument he gives me the silent treatment.. Which I have told him it pisses me off. He doesn't seem to care. He will call or text like everything is ok... Not speak a word about the argument and him being silent.. I have put up with this as long as I can, I have understood he needs time and space.. But damn when the hell do they give a damn about your feelings or do they ever?

wow
by: Layla

To the Author of This Letter,
I can not thank you enough for this information. Honestly I wish I would have had it sooner. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been seriously involved with an Aquarius and it has been murder on my Leo heart. We started off slow,respecting each other's space and only seeing each other a few times a week. He told me that he had hear back from the contact people at McMurdo Station in Antarctica and that he had always wanted to go and work there for a season, at first I was told it was 4mnths and I didn't like that one bit, but eventually came to the conclusion that he needed it and that I only wanted to encourage him in his success and dreams so I agreed to stay by his side while he did this. 4mnths magically turned into 6 before he left but I stood by him in that as well because I honestly love him like I have never loved anyone before and I am a woman who has been married I thought I had loved as much as I could love, I was wrong. Throughout the first year of our relationship we had decided when he got back we were moving away together and we did. While he was in Antarctica we both missed each other until we were sure our hearts would bleed out of our eyes. He wrote me the most amazing love letters and stories (did I mention that he is an amazing write) our airport reunion was beautiful and when he got back he asked my father for my hand in marriage. Fast forward a year later, he experienced a lay off and was unemployed for 2mnths. I encouraged him to use that time to publish his novel, so he worked on it. Our relationship was still loving but I could see a shift in him, I could see he was getting restless and unhappy, so one day after an argument he loaded up his car and left, yes just like that. Within days he decided to go back to Antarctica for 8mnths. He came back to our house as I found another place in that time, he helped me move, he loved me up and was gone in less than 3 weeks from the time he left in his car. Now he is in Antarctica again and our relationship is up in the air. I have been loving and supportive but my heart is in a million pieces. He drove into the ground that he loves me before he left, stopping the car and looking me straight in the eyes. I have never been so confused in my lfe.

Aqua Men--- Why so Childish??!
by: Anonymous

So, I'm a 22 y/o cancer woman dating a 25 y/o aqua man whom I met on a dating website. Everything was on fire from the very first convo-- we had everything in common, and the things that were different complemented each other. We finally started going on dates and having sex (magical!!).. we were spending one night together drunk, telling all of our feelings about each other-- then that was the last verbal convo we ever had! WTF?! Where has he gone and how do I get him back? he isn't returned my one phone call (its been over a week but I'm not going to blow up his phone) or any of my three texts.... How do I get through to him? If anything, to get stuff from his house and so he can come get his stuff from mine lol but more so for us to see each other again :(

I just wanna know the trick!;-)
by: the hopeful Gemini

Wow so,!
Before I read this page I never knew so many ppl were going paranoid after these smart and cool Aquarians!...
Anyway,ofcouse as the topic suggests I'm here to post my problem of my Aquarian disappearing abruptly and so unexpectedly...
It all started with formal smiles which he had started
He happens to be my senior at college..we knew each other by faces..one day I was sitting outside college and having a pastry and he was talking on the phone so I.offered him to taste my pastry...and that's how we started off as friends...then we started with Hie's & hello's and then friends in.facebook and then exchanging phone numbers and then.texting all day!..
It was all so.amazing...it was a lot of fun....I could see we were having those sparks and chemistry..
There was a lot if laughing and fun and mischief...I totally loved the way it was going..
This guy,he used to text me so much!..two minutes after college to see if I'm home alright...then.we text all night & managed to wake up for even...
We used to then sit togather in.the cafeteria for 3-4 hours...and talk & still.never got bored of each other...we had so much to.talk every time!..
Once he asked me to go.out with him...and after a little bit of hesitation I agreed with him...we went for an evening supper ..it was good...he got a chocolate for me that day!..
Then after that day we started sitting in.the cafe near by our college and waited after college a couple of times..just to spend time with each other..
A few times he told me that he likes me...but I have absolutely no clue if he was joking or was serious(because we always used to crack a lot of jokes),also that he spoke to me about this othr girl at college whome he liked..but admitted that he doesn't like her anymore...
I'm not sure but maybe. I had started liking him a little bit by then.
This the point when he started acting weird and unusual...and started acting to be so disinterested in me!!..I tried to sort out things with him...I told him that I'm not liking the distance that is being created and that we hardly talk now a days..
He agreed to it that yes even he could feel the distance but then he was so passive evr after that..I didn't even wish him on.this birthday ...I don't know what went wrong..
And now there are only those old formal smiles,that also only when our eyes meet eachothers...most of the Times we try and avoid an encounter..& we haven't spoken to each other in a couple of months!:-(
do you think it makes him feel bad?..or does he miss those beautiful laughs and all the nice things?.does he wanna even come back?..why do.you think he did this?

I just wanna make him crazy after me again like the way he was before...I just wanna make him go paranoid and berserk for me...help me ladies!
PLEASE!..I'm willing to do anything to get this guy crazy for me!

My Aquarius man
by: Still love him and been dogged

I was with my Aquarius man for 5 years. We were joined at the hip. He always talked about putting a ring on it. Never did.

He found out he has a 14 year old daughter he had never met. Yes the dna was 99.9. Apparently he had been begging for his baby mama to get back with him for 8 months so he wouldn't have to pay child support. He told her he wanted to be a family. She kept saying no cause she was in a relationship. When her relationship ended2 years later she sent Aqua a bus ticket he lied to me and said he was going to see his sister in another state and left me. He stayed with his daughter and baby mama for 7 weeks. He text and called me everyday saying he was "coming back to me". That nothing was going on between him and baby mama. He would ignore my text and calls. He came back stayed 6 days, said I said something wrong to him so baby mama sent him another ticket. Soon as he got on the bus he called and called every hour this was a 23 hr ride. He is saying he is coming back he left with nothing but the clothes on his back. Who does that? All his stuff is here. I went no contact. He is still calling WTF. It's only been 2 days I am turned off of Aquarius men.

be patient and positive
by: Another aries woman

I am an Aries woman in love with a younger Aquarius man. I have never tried so hard to accommodate another person in a romantic relationship. It is comforting (yet also a bit discouraging) to read of such similar challenges and patterns: the roller coaster, the sense that the Aquarius man expects to have his cake and eat it too ... his need for space and reluctance to commit. I have been in this relationship for almost a year, and despite all the challenges I am not ready to give up. My mantra has been "be patient and positive". Somehow it seems to me there is a reason that the universe has produced people with the Aquarius temperament, and so I want to find a way of valuing this personality and the individual man that I love. For me, as a very strong-minded Aries woman, it started off as a challenge for me to see if I could actually follow another person and allow him to be mostly "in charge". I have learned that I can do that, and in some odd way, that is satisfying. But I am now at the point where I realize I have to be careful not to allow myself to be badly-treated (e.g. taken for granted) by this man. But unlike the experiences others seem to have had, this man has been absolutely faithful to me, has never "disappeared", and has, in his own way, been absolutely loving and caring. For me, once I say I love someone, I will make the utmost effort to carry through and hang in through good and bad. At a deep level, I feel that this beautiful Aquarius man that I love needs my rock solid commitment to him and needs me to be able to hang in even through the occasional times when he seems rather immature and selfish. Or maybe I am just hopelessly in love with this man!!! He is handsome, charming, fun, surprising, courageous ...

Should I even start with him?
by: Cookie

I started talking to an Aquarius man online 20 months ago. Previous to that I had only had one date in 5 years after separating from a long term relationship. Anyway, me and my Aqua guy chatted for a couple of hours every night for a week and were flirty, funny and I felt wow, I am falling for this guy and I haven't even met him. At the end of the week he asked to meet me but I was too scared. He lived in USA and just visited London about 7 times a year, I thought I don't want to meet and fall for you and then never get to see you. However, over the coming months we chatted. Sometimes a few times a week, sometimes not for 6 weeks. But after 20 months we are still chatting. He has now moved to London and we met for a date. It was a little akward as I was very shy and blushing all of the time, but there was a lot of chemistry. We had the most magical kiss at the end of the night and agreed to see each other again. He messaged me every day the next week and was very affectionate and I mentioned a few times that I wanted to see him again but he won't commit to a date. He has work commitments in other countries for the next three weeks. I am an Aries, waiting for nearly a month just to see him again is going to drive me mad. I want to give him up before we have even started but though I have had a few dates in the last year he is the only one that has made my tummy go over in the last 7 years. I am happy not see him every week, or talk every day, that would suit me, but I do need to see him sometimes! Your previous posts don't give me hope!!

Confused meaning of companionship
by: Anonymous

What if your he is same age & your Pisces . You have history together 35 years ago . He's divorced Twice you once you reunited after all that time that's past still have feeling for each other. But he always seem to wish only if we would have gotten married we'd still be happily married . 2years we've been having a 1 st friends with benefits , 2 nd yr companionship he calls it . He refuse to call it a relationship though it feels like one. I remind him were both single we both care for each other I'm falling in love with him again & we won't say the love word or relationship the closer we become he freaks will desapear no more than a week out of nowhere will text like nothing happens. He s unemotionally attach to me when we get our closest & things going great will even say he doesn't know if he could ever love any one. I don't want to waste my time with no future together or hope if he doesn't seem to be in the same page. Then he's remind me if only we got married instead we'd be happy now. Don't know what to expect I really want him but feel like he's wasting my time I shoul just leave him forever & just grieve him away already. ;(

couldve sworn he was falling
by: Anonymous

i met my aquarian at work. attracted to his smile and flurtatious ways. we began talking hanging out things moved Fast. im married going through a separation. i know its not the beat time to meet someone this way but we did. our connection was unbelievable. i felt i had found a friend forever. we couldnt reist the connection we kissed several times and es we had sex twice. he was using all kinda of excuses for not getting involved yet he continued coming to see me at work texting etc its now been three months. all of his talk about why he didnt want a relationship. my situation. his need for freedom and not wanting anything but friends. my head is spinning i let him know i was developing feelings.duh. he tells me how much he loves my company. and now He is cold and distant. no texta hardly comes to see me only for a minute and leaves tells me he'll come back and doesnt. never answers phone. he used to smile when he came to see me and bow he has a straight face. im thinking maybe he just wanted a fling cuz he knew i was married and now that he knows ill be getting divored e freaked? i was falling in love wrh him! i dont believe hes ever had a very serious Real relationship. we both knew gow good it was and how different but now it seems hes done hes from a broken home hates his father doesnt relate to his mother. hes quite a bit younger thn me but ive dated men younger. my heart is breaking. i feel what was a close special friendship disintigrating and wonder what i did or said wrong. he is acting so different now i cant stand it. do i back off as well? ive been trying but it doesnt seem to be working as far as bringing him back to what it was.

Hey Mr Aquarius,

My opinion, for what it's worth, is that you should change! You sound like a sucky, shallow lover and friend. The Aquarius men that have pulled this caper on me with all the attendant, 'it's not you, it's me' bullshit, I have cut off without a second thought, (except when I read posts like this). Yes, it really is you....you should just grow the f--- up!

Confused and worried
by: Confused

Thank you! This post is really helpful. It helped me uderstand aquarian men more.

I've been seeing this aquarian guy. He's abroad now, and so we've only been exchanging emails lately. In the middle of our exchange of emails, i just decided to express my feelings toward him that i miss him and all and would like to hear from him more. I know, i've acted quite "clingy" but assured him that i'm just figuring out my feelings for him. I just took a chance in expressing that my feelings for him are growing. And his reaction towards this was that he felt confused about what i said. He wants to think about everything first. But he told me not to worry and that things between us are cool and that he just needs time to think about everything. I respected his wishes and just ended my last email with, i understand. know that i miss you.

He hasn't been emailing me for more than a week now.
I feel sad and worried. Did he really mean what he said about things being cool between us? Should i wait for him to email me first, or is it ok if i email him? I hope you could shed some light on this. Thank you very much!

by: cappiegirl

Hi,
Just came across ur site and it has lot of helpful info, thank you.

I would like to quickly ask advice on this aqua guy.
We have been friends for over a month, the attaction was instant and we flirted continuesly. ere he was sending clear msgs he likes me (finding reasons to be near me, touch me, steal kisses etc). Eventually we had proper date and have been intimate which was amazing. However since , 6 days ago he only sms me 1-2x a day but not asking for second date. If i dont speak to him or look aloof he gets upset and keeps asking whats wrong. What am i to do? wait for him to make a move? ask him out directly? He is quite younger then me. Pls advise. Thank you.

My aquarius ex stopped contacting me on 21/9/13- he texts me on 01/11/13 saying hi- I left it 3 hours and just replied saying hello- I have had nothing again- shall I just forget and move on

mmmh
by: sagittarius

thank you for that....

most of it I had to figure out on my own..;)

but that has been seriously helpful!!!

rather hard work though to keep you onions(that's what I call aqua men- lots of layers and they tend to make you cry)with that head tilted, so much else in the world that is interesting too!!!

I don't know if you could answer one question for me though...
how do you know if an onion is really in love with you???

when they ran the fastest and then stand savely on a mountain and don't take your eyes off you? and how DO you get them off their high perch?

hardest thing ever!
by: crazy4aqua

We have been casually together over a year now. We have done the break up thing 5 times. He comes back.

He would say I just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you...then that turned into I miss you's. We were hanging out a few months ago and drinking..he finally admitted he LIKES me.

Our contact has increased tremendously over the past few months. But now he doesn't make plans to see me or go out.

I am really loosing interest...who wouldn't. I mean we haven't seen each other for over a month now.

On one hand...I am thinking well maybe he is falling and has pulled away because of that...or maybe he has friend zoned me.

The other night I text him..I said I honestly don't know what if anything you want with me anymore. I feel like you have lost interest and I am starting too feel the same. You don't want to see me or go out. He texts back later that day and says I do miss you and sorry you feel that way.

I am at the point of letting him contact me..because words are words. We used to see each other weekly...but now monthly. I feel we are going backwards or he is doing this because he is afraid..idk.

He is so afraid of getting hurt again..I get it...he won't bring me around family or friends...hardly see each other on the weekends because he has his son. I am just going to be cool for now...he knows where I stand.

12 years wasted on aqua man !!!
by: susie

It's taken me 12 long years to finally accept that my aqua man will never fulfil my needs. This relationship is all about his needs. In order for a relarionship to work with an aqua man you need to realise this will only happen if you are willing to play it his way - his terms and conditions. ( I am an aries ) and my patience has been tested to a degree where I have questioned my own sanity !!
This man will NOT change his ways for anyone. He wants to see you when it suits him. His friends come first - generally an assortment of wacky individuals ( normal people are a little too boring for him )
He wants
A cook
A whore
An errand runner and favour giver
Complete understanding of his "busy " lifestyle. You will get whatever he can be bothered to give you and be happy about it because if you feel miserable or neglected he will dissapear to punish you for not being grateful for the crumbs of his time that you are lucky to receive. 12 years of this crap and I have finally seen the light . I dont care if he is shocked or sad I dont even feel jealous of whoever fills my role. They are welcome to it. I am off to wander pastures new and looking forward to meeting someone who will appreciate me. I never tolerated shit like this before him and I never will after him !!!

So not a reliable partner
by: Mira

I am a scorpio. Appreciate the inputs in the first post.I met an acqua and this post kind of explains his nature pretty well. If the content is really true , I would prefer stay away from an Aquarius then.Someone with no consistency is not at all fascinating however Mr.Einstein he is.Looks like quite a puerile to me , may be I would like to have an aqua kid , coz that would be so very fun to be with him, but never a reliable partner.

To Tiny and Frustrated and any one else with insight
by: Adversityangel

I'm reading all you both wrote and cannot believe how similar our situations are. I too am 45 and have been separated for over two years. I met an Aqua man over two months ago and I felt like I was in a dream. He was the nicest most compassionate, caring, empathetic man I had ever met. Thing is I was so busy with my own life that I was very aloof in the beginning. I had little time for him and wanted to take my time as I really didn't want or need at this time to meet someone because of things I am currently going through in my life. Anyway we became exclusive right away as he asked me to be his girlfriend and that was that. Until Saturday. I got very jealous of him speaking to another woman which isn't my ordinary self as I am a libra and very much a flirt too. We had a disagreement and things changed. He said that he can't handle drama and that he doesn't need or want this is in his life that I was acting like a psycho and that the woman he was talking too was next to her husband and she asked him a question we were at a concert. We had talked and I thought everything was fine. Then the next day I didn't hear from him. I texted him and he texted me but things were different. The next few days we talked once a day and then all of a sudden I didn't hear from him at all. Being a Libra my emotions took over and I texted him to say hi, still nothing, so I sent him a nice message and still nothing. My last text to him was "oh forget it, like you always say it is what it is"I get the the hint... Well when he got home "apparently he forgot his phone at home" he was not happy and let me know. I tried to contact him but he didn't respond so I drove to his house to talk. He was sleeping. We talked and i thought things were ok but again the next day nothing. So today I texted him and said some real nice things about our relationship and how he said I was the best thing that has ever happened to him and he loved me. I said that this whole time we have been so happy is he really going to let 2 bad things outweigh the good things that we shared. The response I got was..." I understand, I just need some time to figure things out. I will not deal with this again. I have too much going on. I just need some space". He also said "please don't pressure me it only make me feel worse" I'm so confused if you read all the heartfelt texts I received from him no joke you'd be like an aquarian said those things. I wasn't looking for anything I wasn't supposed to meet him and I told him that. Now I'm left heart broken and have no idea where I stand. Is his I need time and space a way for him to nicely say we are done? How can a man be so open with their emotions say they love you, they feel like a kid again, that you make them happier than they have been in a long time. Only to just turn it off. I truly haven't cared for someone or wanted to give my heart to someone in so long. I had my guard up with him for so long. Should I consider us over?

really?
by: ck

Ok i completely understand the aqua guy..but really? You don't think we are scared too?? Why don't u just say it..its just that ur emotionally immature..even detached from them..i mean all of us women are al.ike right? We are out to get u....Boo

hurt and confused
by: aquarian girl

een seeing this aquarian man for 4months.
Still at the friend stage but we like each other. He always call me baby. Everything was pretty fine till..i went to his house.

He tried to get touchy and intimate with me (few times) but i rejected him. Not that i dont like but we are just friends. He didnt directly says that he wants me to be his girlfriend but he keeps on saying..he won't leave me and want me to believe him.

Well, he didnt get what he want from me and suggest that i should head back home since he cant control himself if im at his place.

I can feel that he's unhappy about it but he assured me that he's not and wont leave me.

Eversince this happened.. he doesnt contact me much.. trying to avoid me..takes days to read my texts. Eventually it become worse..just simply read my texts with no reply.

In the past, no matter how frustrated he is with me. He will reply the next day or so. But now..its been almost 2weeks.. he doesnt want to communicate with me or meet me. There will be times i received his replies but its just..sorry baby i dont leave you alone, im here or im sorry im sick.

I feel so hurt. Today, i saw that he changed his
whatsapp display photo..obviously he is avoiding me. I asked him, are you saying goodbye or? please talk to me and lets fix it. He just.. keep silence.

What should i do? ...

Good friends for 4 years, and gone, and back
by: Gemini woman

I love my friend. He is my comfort zone, and funny. Every man I meet, I compare them to him in every way, not just looks but to make me feel the way he makes me feel; that is, when he isn't missing.

I've known him for four years. Believe it or not, we have never physically met in person. We met through a support forum for people in crisis, and became confidants to one another that way. Over the course of years, he has always been a loyal friend. He never let long periods go by without contacting me. And as a Gemini I deeply enjoyed the attention, and very much appreciated our friendship, and still do, but... I want to meet him and spend physical time together in the real world doing what real friends do and having fun.

I find myself growing and desiring his company as a friend. He used to be open to arranging meet ups with me for things like camping and touring, but the plans always fell through and I couldn't get everyone together. Nowadays, though, he's trying to get out of a bout of depression. I asked him to go on a road trip with me, and it's like a different person. He says now that doing anything doesn't seem worth it, compared to eagerness before. We live in different parts of the country but within a thousand miles. It hurt for me to hear him say doing something to spend time together would be "not worth it". He also had a million and one excuses about it being expensive and gas and his car and yadda yadda. He even said if I want an adventure, I should get on one of those cheap Chinatown buses and go up and down the east coast where I live and go couch surfing with complete strangers.

That hurt and made me feel he doesn't want to be real friends with me when obviously I wanted to spend time with and meet HIM, not some strangers. It's a complete opposite from how he would be interested. Although, he drove cross country in March for a new car, then drove cross country right around my city in April and said he had a space available in his car, so I guessed was his way of inviting me to be picked up by him some way. But I guess he freaked, and as a Gemini his one true soulmate sign, I intuitively knew he freaked out from nervousness and self consciousness in meeting me, and he sent me an email a few hours later saying nevermind because his plans changed.

But anyway, he didn't speak to me for three days once, and I went crazy because he usually doesn't ignore me. I didn't send him anything, I just wondered what happened. Then of course he reappeared all normal and apologized for the late response.

This recent disappearance brings me here though. I didn't hear from him again over a week ago, so I sent him an email saying get in touch and let me know how you're doing. He responded the next day as if it's normal to have gone five days without responding to my question before. And we talked, it took me the whole weekend but last Sunday I told him about how my holiday weekend went and asked about a project he was working on and he disappeared until just an hour ago lol. That was his longest ever at six days and it was excruciating tonight wondering whether I offended. But I know him and that, like me, he doesn't like being asked for updates on his progress of something. It's togho constraining, similar to having to meet a deadline. That's probably why he didn't respond until something new happened in his life that he could talk about instead of the thing I'd asked about. I'm the same way if I disappear because I don't want to give disappointing news to someone if they ask for an update (Gemini do these disappearing acts, too, look it up!) But I think these Aquariuses are way, way more unpredictable with theirs.

I way so worried this week. I was determined though not to contact him at all. I even cried because I felt like I didn't know whether he wants to leave my life, end the friendship, has a girlfriend or what to expect. I was afraid of losing a very good friend who I love.

He sent me an email an hour ago, light hearted, about something we'd talked about before. He said he was asking his friend about cows and having a dairy farm because last week I told him I want cows to get my own milk and make my own butter. He was thinking of me during his disappearance where he did not say anything to me for a week. You see?

I understand Aquarius, but they disappear for so long and without any explanation. With Gemini they really don't need to give an explanation because we already know too well what's on their mind, but I also like attention and not to be left in the wind not knowing when or whether to see or hear from them again. I know he thinks of me if he asks his friends about things we talk about in order to get information back to me, but why not just say the truth that he didn't finish the project. We're friends, and share so much, he knows my failures, why not just be comfortable telling his, he doesn't like talking about his emotions and always been like that. We're understanding.

I just really want to meet him and spend time together. If there is chemistry, maybe more than friendship is in the cards but that's too far ahead. I enjoy our friendship and want us to be a bit closer. The disappearances and 180 avoiding anything I say alluding to wanting to spend time with him, gets in the way of our closeness.

He said he wants to try some of my homemade butter I told him about. How you're gonna do that without meeting up? I think he wants to but is scared, insecure, self conscious about what I'll think of his awkward traits, like mine, or feeling afraid to have to open up some more, I think.

But every guy who I see or who flirts with me, I don't see them as any good to me if they don't remind me of him. I'm glad he contacted me, but I'm so upset how he left me hanging, I don't even want to talk or respond to him now. Anything could have happened to me in all this time or to him and neither of us would've known because he wasn't communicating. Life is too short. You can't keep disappearing on important people your entire life or you will lose them. What's more important, the LOVE and peace and comfort in our friendship or relationship, or your self consciousness about feeling inadequate to that person who loves you unconditionally anyway?

I need to know.

Life is too short
by: Anonymous

I appreciate your honesty and now I have a beter understanding of aquarius male. But seriously, do you see how rediculous this all sounds? Who could ever figure out any of this and who has a hundred years to do it? It seems that aquarians are selfish and they just figure a person should just deal with all the games and riddles just to be a part of thier lives. I think they need to grow up and know that the world doesn't revolve around them and that they need to give to get. Good luck to whoever has the patience and the code cracking skills to get close to one. Life is too short.

I have upset my aquarian boyfriend and he has cut me off
by: Anonymous

Ive been dating this gorgeous guy for 9 months, we hit it off straight away, met each others kids and he recently met my parents. We declared our love for each other and I felt I would be with him for the rest of my life however, he would not add me as a friend on Facebook, met his ex girlfriend for dinner and went missing for long periods of time!
We spoke about his ex girlfriend and as a gemini I really don't mind him seeing her, but I would just like to know about it in future anyhow, I saw on his phone that he is still in contact with her and arranged to meet her the following week! I challenged him about this but spoke very calmly as I do not like confrontation but he wouldn't say a word.
He remained loving and attentive but when i left the following morning, be did not get back in contact. I texted him 4 day later, no reply and then I found he was back online dating. I called him, left a message and again no reply. I have tried to communicate with him, but realise that i have been completely cut off, and it hurts like hell. If he loved me why hurt me like this?
I think looking through his phoned pissed him off big time, but I did catch him out lying to me and this needs to be confronted.
Anyhow I wonder if he will ever come back to me, I miss what we had so much I feel lost without him.
No closure is heartbreaking so any idea on what he is thinking will be helpful

Aries girl confused with Aqua guy
by: Anonymous

Hi, I am writing a post up here because of the sort of irritation that this Aquarius guy has created. Way back in Mar this year, I mentioned I like him to which he said that he likes me as a friend and nothing more. I felt bad but managed to bounce back and there was no awkwardness. Meanwhile, we were colleagues and a lot of fun together. So, he used to tease me a lot and make fun and the banter was great though not personal. From mid May onwards, the interaction changed in the sense, we used to go out for one on one movies and shopping etc once in a while for every weekend till July start.And,he was being nice and everyone in office has been speculating that there is something fishy about us.
He switched his job in July and since then, he has been avoiding one on one outings with me. He knows I get hurt by this and then tries to make it up by messaging/ teasing me in chat group forums. He acts cool with me in public and teases me. I mean am tired of these mixed signals. Was he using me from May onwards? And one I have to initiate contact and he says no to the plans. Its a hit for an Arien girl. I don't know what to do. What is he thinking now and why did he behave the way he did in May. I need a closure.
Please help me with this situation

Aquarius
by: Michelle

Hi ladies! I am an aqua girl and we aquarius really do need some space, but it doesnt mean that we will disappear for weeks. Those guys are either immature or just not that interested. I had aqua males in my life too, the ones that were doing disappearing act r just having someone else. Dont spend ur precious time on them, u deserve better, u all sound like very sweet ladies. Good luck!

I've noticed that all the Aquas who have taken interest in me were very quiet about their feelings and distanced themselves(from my best friend to a guy I've know 10yrs), but stalkerish at the same time. To the point they watch my social sites and will admit it. Here's the problem, I fell for a aqua unexpectedly. He distanced himself, but still was watching my social site and would question me any time I referred to liking someone. This is creepy but I didn't mind because it was him. He would try to see me once in a while but I am stubborn and not on anyone else's time and a week after the last time he ended our 'social' connection. I really like this guy and it seems to be a list cause. I'm ok with him not being interested, but he will not tell me he's not. I know that regardless of if I like someone he is not required to like me. Thing is, if he told me he doesn't it's be easier to move on. Any help on this?

patience is the key
by: Leo woman

it started as an explosion! we made each other nervous, he's too good looking and i'm a little older. he was all about it the first 2 months I was blown away, i left my taurus boyfriend to explore things with him. then he started coming around every 2 weeks or went even longer without calling. i got frustrated like everyone else, i thought what a jerk! he's just another player, and seeing him with another girl confirmed this. i got his attention by doing something really bad ass, he was all up on me after that but i ignored all of his invitations, hehe. i did all the research i possibly could on aquas and kept seeing be patient, be independent, and don't demand from him. so i didn't, i let him be and kept pursuing my goals, even hung out with my ex again for a few months. he never called or messaged me and i thought that was so weird because i could have sworn we had a ridiculous connection. so i let him go, and 4 months later he's back because we do have an unusual thing going. now it feels like no time went by at all. now that i look back we've been "dating" for 9 months, taking it ridiculously slow, barely starting to get to know each other. it takes a while to realize you like someone, and its a good thing he left and took his time. luckily i'm at a point in my life where i'm not needy for attention and don't want to be with a man that hasn't really thought it out and is actually brave enough to face it. now that i look back he was freaked out by it and so was i!! i just had to be patient instead of believing that he didn't care about me. i don't know what will happen now i adore him and everything is really intense just how i like it. the next challenge we will face is that i am now abstaining from premarital sex, haha!. tricky i know since sex is a big part of this awesomeness. we are beautiful people, this could be our dream come true, or at the least we will inspire each other as great sexy friends, cheer us on!!! the key is be patient! and be fierce! you'll get him by displays of your character to the outside world, don't focus on him so he can see you!
i'm going to treat him like a friend that i know won't commit, that way he will find me irresistible and try to tie ME down, buahaha.
i know better than to take it too seriously, but i already pictured our babies, haha! have fun everyone!!!

Aquarius Men Don't Know How to Have a Relationship
by: Anonymous

Stay far away from these men. One minute they will tell you how much they love and adore you, the next minute, they are reading into everything you say and act very abrasive and cruel, kicking you out the door. They are the worst men in the zodiac for relationships, so don't get caught up with one. They will throw you over for the next new love interest.

Depressed and Stressed
by: Anonymous

He hates me. Or something. I am losing my mind actually =| HE approached ME, and adamantly. I let him down gently, because it came out of nowhere, and he kept coming. So we talked pretty intently-but about politics and ethnics, his favorite stuff. I didn't mind because he complimented me often at his OWN will about how smart I am. I also know he doesn't like small idle talk, maybe that's an Aquarian male thing.

Then, while we got more intimate as far as discussing sexual things and relationships apart from our more tense conversations, we ironically drifted apart more.I think I also scared him saying I loved him, but I tried to clean it up by saying WHAT I really liked about him instead of keeping it to a plain "I love you." It made me feel weird that I had to modify my genuine feelings just to comfort him.

He kept complimenting me and calling me sexy and saying all these nice things, and then I guess he felt insecure about putting himself out there without prompt and retreated. So I tried to spice things up and told him about my wild side. He then judged me. Harshly. And told me he can't be with me because I'm too sexual-while he tells me about very sexual experiences he's enjoyed in the past. So we remained platonic friends with feelings.

Weird and annoying to keep up with. And then he told me (either to be vindictive or just being completely insensitive) that he's going to meet a woman and told me about all she's good at. So I did the same lol about a guy. He got all mad and started insulting the guy. Badly. And there was no calming him down. He then called me a foul word and told me to get people on him. He was daring me.

Now I don't know what his issue is but he is known to be completely irrational and unreasonable. He proudly cuts off longtime female friends and fights with longtime male friends. There is no reasoning. He won't talk to me now. So I'm trying to reach out to him, and nothing. What makes this worse is, it's an online thing =| But I know it's him we haven't just texted. The issue is, the impunity of treating me like garb. Sigh.

He leaving me
by: Virgo woman

I've bern with my Aqua guy on and off for 4 years...we leave together now but he decided he wants to move out. I have kids not by him the family is rather close. The information I read is good but sometimes I'm use to him but this right here what he is doing is so hurtful. I'm lost I want to beg and ask him why but you know how that will go. My family are struggling with his decision what are we too do...we are in too deep..

Not sure about this one
by: October Scorpio

As a Scorpio woman this seems like so much work. I guess this is how people feel about me haha! I really like this aqua guy. Sometimes I just feel like giving up because he is so damn moody and seems so wishy-washy I am used to Earth signs ( was married to one). If he said something he meant it and sometimes I wonder if the aqua is just full of bs!! But I do love listening to him rant on about whatever lol not to mention he is very ambitious, So damn sexy! I would like to open up to him but am afraid it would be way to much for him, I find myself holding back. The attraction is there but we have ZERO in common. Almost seems like we are speaking a different language. He disappears which isn't really a huge deal to me because I am VERY busy these days and he kinda gets on my nerves so I need a break too lol

Is he wasting my time?
by: Confused Libra woman

I have been seeing an Aquarius off and on for three years now. We were friends for a year before that. He does everything described above. I have made mistakes according to this article - like saying I miss him, asking to see him, expecting normal behavior, lol.

I love him so much, and the idea of losing who he was - that wonderful friend - before we became romantically involved makes it hard for me to let go. Should I? I am slowly learning how to behave with him, and he hasn't left forever yet, but I get tired of putting most of the effort in. I don't think he is cheating - but now after reading others' comments I am afraid. But given what I know of his work schedule and all that I doubt it - unless it is weird one off things when he travels. We have incredible sex. He said it the best ever. But I don't want that to be all that he values in me. He told me he loved my mind back right before we got involved, but lately I feel like he is just stringing me along. He has told me he loves me (finally, when I said it first he freaked out and ditched me for a while so I kept my distance.) and calls me his girlfriend, but I don't feel like i have a boyfriend the way he disappears. It is really frustrating. What can I do?!

So Confused
by: Anonymous

I've been dating this Aquarius man for 6 months. After the first couple months I expressed to him that he wasn't making enough time for me, and I backed off a bit. I also felt like he was holding back from letting me in. I'M not opposed to taking it slow, but I've been trying to just be open with him and not have any walls up. He told me during this time that he was dealing with some stuff. Ok then, no problem. Then after a few weeks, he started really making an effort and making time for me.

There is a part of me that still feels like he is holding back. I definitely am not as full force now because I don't want to get hurt. He calls, texts, plans dates, and seems genuinely more in than he was in the beginning. I'm happy about that, but he still has this mystery about him.

To top it off, his family lives out of town and I found out that his ex who lives locally here went to his family's Thanksgiving. He didnt tell me ahead of time that was happening. We have only been dating 6 months and I am trying not to overthink it. They were together for years, but seriously? I didn't call him or reach out on Thanksgiving, but he did.

So if I'm on his mind and he's making an effort, what's with ex still in the picture, and her going to the family Thanksgiving? Here's the deal, I'm not stupid, and I have no interest in playing second fiddle, but I guess I just don't understand the mentality. Before he went out of town he spent nearly all his time with me, only to not tell me his ex was invited to Thanksgiving? I just can't figure him out. I feel like it's time to lose my number. Just sucks, he seems so great, but can be so secretive. Am I overreacting because I don't feel like I am. It's only been 6months so maybe I should just move on.

I have been having the exact problem at the moment, I have been seeing an aquarius guy who is 10 years older than me for a while now and he has on and off started ignoring my texts and wont get back to me for 24 hours or more but when he decides to finally text back he wants to see me. When im with him he is affectionate and I can tell he has something for me, but its like a rollercoaster!
I kept thinking that he was seeing someone else maybe, but after reading all these comments it all sounds so god damn similar! I just don't know if i can keep up with his dissapearing acts, even though I've taken on board alot about these aqua men I still cant help but think he mustn't care about me enough if he doesnt feel the need to reply to my texts till 1-2 days later at times lol

Need to move on
by: Kat

I started a "friends with benefits" thing with a long time friend. Big mistake. He told me upfront he didn't want a relationship. At the time, I didn't either. Over these past 6 months, I have falling in love. When he found out how I felt, he pulled away but came back. The sex is amazing but don't know how much longer I can keep seeing him. He disappears often. He will text me to death and reply one day and the next he barely comments. He always has an excuse. He gave so many mixed signals in the beginning despite saying he didn't want a relationship. Very charming and I agree with others... It's like he cast a spell on me.
I was married to an Aquarius before. He was total opposite. He was caring, nurturing and never disappeared. If anything, he was clingy and loved being around me. My friend fits the typical Aquarius characteristics. Reading all these comments helped me to see I need to just move on. There are much better guys out there who will appreciate all I have to offer without me wondering how they really feel.

Aquarius
by: leoness

guy from work first initiates "us" going out. I was a totally down with hanging with this very handsome man…
we hung out, a lot of of things happen.. a couple weeks later we hang out again. good times.
I drink more then normal so i feel that making out with him is fine. I have not been with anyone for a couple years but this attraction i have for him is strong.
he disappears. now we work together but different schedules. I see him a wk later at work. I text him "i would like to talk when you have a chance". he replies "im here (being work) whats up?" any how we talk later. i let him know that i am attracted to him but I also realized what i am wanting in my life; someone to have adventures with, laugh, build each other up goals, have awesome sex, get to know each other. i also let him know "if this is not you, that is okay. the right guy will come along". he proceeds to text me as the night proceeds. i become anxious (in a very desire to be with him) he keeps texting me and shows up at my place. he stayed the night. i let him know we are not having sex/making love until I know he's the 1. he understood this. and YES our passion for each other is extreme. we see each other at work that day. sort of ignore each other (sorta on purpose to not start gossip)
he has let me know: we get along really well, we have fun, he is attracted to me
now he does not text me again and i begin to question "WHY"
if someone has a little inside please let me know.
- should i just wait for him to initiate me
i do keep myself busy yet dam it!!! i am really liking him

Thank you
