So I'm a taurus woman in the midst of a dilemma with a pisces friend of mine. We met through mutual friends about a year and half ago and I truly, truly care for him. Immensely, deeply. And in all honesty, my feelings for him travel beyond friendship. He has claimed, on several occasions that he loves me. Any chance he gets, situations in which we find ourselves alone, he tries to take our relationship to the next level. Not in a physical way; simply by reiterating his feelings for me. So many feelings! He seems to thrive on that. Which I love and appreciate...sometimes.
With all the water in his chart (ascendant, moon and mars in scorpio and venus in pisces) I can't really imagine it any other way. I also have some water in my chart (venus and mars in pisces in my 12th house), but even I can't take the depth of his emotions, at times.
I was surprised by how willing he was to let him in on his feelings. I thought he would be more closed off than that. But he's more open than I thought.
And as much as I care about him - he's been a liberating and transformative influence in my life- I can't help but shake the feeling that we are not meant to be together. As close as we are - rather as close as I allow us to be - I feel like a romantic relationship between the two of us isn't in the cards.
I will admit that a part of me is terrified of what it would mean to be with him: I would have to give up something of myself and I am, in no way, willing to do so. I do think of giving in and giving it a shot, but a voice in me tells me that he simply idolizes what I am or what we could be.
As a taurus with a gemini moon and aries ascendant, I honestly believe he is better off with a Scorpio or Pisces lady. Someone more willing to accept what he has to offer. And he has a lot to offer...to the right woman. Whom I believe, I am not.
But it's been months and he's shown no sign of letting up and remain friends (all the scorpio in him, I suppose). And I've come to the point where I don't think even being friends with him is a possibility. I seriously contemplate severing all ties with him, no matter how painful it would be for me. Or him.
How do I let him know that he and I will simple not be?
And keep in mind, I've turned down his advances in the past, letting him know how much he means to me AS A FRIEND. I've told him, repeatedly that we would never work and that I'm trying to save both some heartache before even attempting anything. Because if we were to ever cross that line, we would NEVER go back to the way things were.
And even if I tried to cut off all contact, that would never work for long, as my roommate is one of his closest friends.
So I'm at a loss.
