Dear Red,
I’ve dated a guy off and on for about 5 years. He is a Pisces and I am a Taurus. I’m in love with him and I want to know if he feels the same about me – or if I’m wasting my time. Lately we don’t talk as much as we used to, because he says he is busy with work. I don’t know if that is an excuse or if he is telling me the truth. I really don’t want to continue seeing him if there is no future for me with him. Please advise!
Dear Josie,
Your Pisces man is not a liar, but he also doesn’t always share with you the full truth. Yes, he is busy with work… and friends.
Here comes the bad news. Your feelings for him do run deeper than his feelings for you. This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love you, but he is not at that head-over-heels, I-want-to-marry-this- woman-someday place, either. He is currently rather content with his life and lifestyle. Yes, he wants you to be a part of it, but without pressure or strings attached.
While this relationship can be very good when it is “on,” the day always comes when things revert back to “off.” It is a pattern that I don’t see changing any time soon.
There can be a future in this relationship for the two of you, but it is not the future you want to unfold within the time frame you are wanting it. It will be years before the two of you can come together in a more settled and consistent way. Right now, I’ve got nothing that says marriage, only the possibility of living together. But, that is a long time off from now.
If you are looking to build a life with someone within the next couple of years, then you need to check out the other fish in the sea. Your Pisces is in Salmon mode, fighting the currents and swimming upstream, and when he needs a rest, floating back to you.
Brightest Blessings,
Red
