Dear Wendell,
I’m a Gemini and have the weirdest relationship
with a Pisces. For about 4 months, we’ve been in this cycle of
flirting and then nothing happening. We spend 5 out 7 days together.
We exchange 40 emails a day. When I go somewhere by myself, people ask, “Where’s
John?” We even had a play fight for 20 minutes with fly swatters
the other day. Normal people would wind up giggling and making out, but
us? Noooooo. Will this platonic boyfriend deal ever end, or is a Pisces
thing? Help!
Dear Gemini,
There’s definitely something “fishy” about this Pisces,
but it’s clear he’s got you hooked on his line, too. Pisces
are highly sensitive and self-protective. Fearful of rejection, they
can be slow to open up. As a thick-skinned, adventurous Gemini you
may not understand this firsthand. Your sign rules communication, and
you fall hard for someone who’s in constant contact. Most Geminis
bore easily, and enjoy a mind game or two. Do you really like John,
or just the thrill of the chase? (I know—I’ve driven myself
nuts trying to get my paws on a treat, only to find out it was dry
and tasted like liver!) You could be caught up in a torturous Gemini-Pisces
dynamic, since both signs often want what they can’t have.
I asked
a Pisces male friend to
explain. “Simple,” he
replied. “I don’t like her, but I keep dragging it out because
I don’t want to hurt her. I don’t know how to tell her in
a gentle way, so I just keep hoping she’ll break it off.” Aha!
Pisces is the sign of guilt and compassion. Somehow, this “logic” makes
sense to them. We bet it doesn’t register with cool-headed Gemini,
though. Our advice? You’re the sign of the Twins, so tap into your
need for variety by dating a few other guys. Maybe John is just insecure,
and if he finds the guts to step up to the Gemini challenge, great.
In the meantime, stop putting your life on hold for someone who can’t
give you clear signals. The only person you should spend this much
time with is a serious, committed boyfriend.
