23.3.6

[goddessliss]

Tonight a group of us went out to celebrate new years eve. There was a man that moved away everytime I joined in to dance or talk or he wouldn't sit next to me. I don't know him very well at all so I don't understand.

Why did D keep moving away from me
Hex 23.3.6>15

Makes no sense. How can you strip away something when there's no connection in the first place.

Was the man part of your group, or just someone else who was there?

I hate to say this, but maybe he just doesn't like you? Sometimes people have an almost visceral reaction to someone they barely know.

Just the hexagrams, 23 and 15, could suggest that moving away from you was an authentic response on his part, maybe just the simple reality of how he feels about you. The lines seem to support that - he thought moving away from you was the right thing for him to do (23.3), so he just up and did it (23.6), without pussyfooting around or trying to be subtle.

I'm not good at all with patterns of change, but the yang pattern is 52, Stillness, and the yin pattern is 58, Opening (communication, exchange). Those seem like opposite things in this context - stillness/quiet vs. communication. Hilary wrote a blog post about them - her focus was on their use with unchanging readings, which yours was not, but maybe you can still get something from it.

Oh I hope he doesn't dislike me as I find him quite interesting to talk with. Yes he was part of our group he's a friend of a friend and we were all going to see a band only I went earlier to meet up with another friend. A couple of hours earlier he came to my place, helped me with something small then offered to drop me off to meet my other friend. When he dropped me off I said I might see you later if you make it as he was heading to a party first and he said he'd definitely see me later.

It was almost like when you're interested in someone but it's safer if you run the other way.

I asked a follow up question
What is his interest in me

26.2.3.6>24

Looks like he wants to restrain himself from anything that's too much work ie. Getting to know me and return to his comfort zone.

 

[Liselle]

How odd. I don't know. If he likes you but is afraid of his feelings, then why go to your house and drive you around? And if getting to know you is "too much work," then it's hard to believe he likes you. That is, if someone really is interested in someone, do they usually consider them "work"?

I get what you're saying about confused feelings, but I don't know if the readings confirm that. (And I really mean I don't know. Maybe they do. I just don't understand them.)

Thanks Lisa there's more to the story but I don't see its relevance connected to these answers from Yi anyway. Oh well I'll just see what happens in 'real life' .

Somehow I get a feeling
That
You remind him of
Someone - or he finds you attractive (maybe you remind him of
Someone he liked). He could just
Be a bit scared perhaps??

Don't know but 26.6 is a good line in my experience -
Things work out OK in the end - or at least the way they were meant to be.

Just wait and see

Just looked at my notebook. This happened to me about 4 years ago - and all I will say is trust your instincts on this one. I didn't And I should have ... What I initially felt about this person was spot on. All worked out as it should have done based in my initial deep feelings about someone ..
Keep updated if appropriate!!

Thanks butterfly spider Happy New Year to you I'm so looking forward to 2016. The upcoming year of Saturn return for me.
My instincts are telling me he is attracted to me but is holding back as he's no idea what I think. All I know is I'd like to get to know him on a platonic level and see where it leads naturally.
