I have been dating someone, a 37 year old Capricorn male, and I am a 33 year old Virgo female.

On our first date we met up for breakfast, but ended up hanging out together for the next 24 hours! We discussed past relationships, family, what we want in the future, etc...details regarding things that people generally would not discuss on a first date. Although he seemed a bit eager, I am also someone intense so did not get incredibly alarmed.

Second date, we met for dinner and then ended up hanging out until 5pm the next day! That evening, I had also met a few of his friends before we left dinner, and he put his hand on my arm while we were chatting with them...he will often reach out to hold or caress my arm/hand in public. Again, when we spent this time privately together...intense conversation, he shared some of his past heartbreak. He has spent some time with me and my children, and complimented my parenting.

Through the course of our conversations he has also told me, though, that he sometimes uses beautiful women to feel good about himself. He has also lamented about a relationship that ended suddenly for him a few months ago...and how lonely he has been. he has put himself on a dating "time out" before...and is taking one soon?

I find his behavior a bit confusing and impulsive, and recently told him that I do not want to be someone's stepping stone. I also told him that I believe he may have a little too much going on emotionally and asked him for some space and to not contact me for a bit.

I'm getting mixed feelings...he is coming on very strongly, but also making statements that indicate to me he may just need a friend. He is someone that I could really like if I allowed myself (he is handsome, charming, intelligent, and we have a lot of emotional and physical chemistry)...but I'm scared that he may simply be flighty, immature and unsure of what he wants. Also, that I may simply make him feel good about himself.

I am feeling torn about the choice to have cut him out, and we have sent some texts since. In the last discussion we had, I told him that ir was up to him to decide what capacity he wants me in his life, and he stated that he is not sure he could be a good partner to me right now because he is being so reckless.

So...this whole thing has left me very confused...fast moving, then on with the brakes. I consulted the IChing regarding the situation...two questions. Now I am EVEN MORE confused!!!!!!!!!

The first question was: "How can I proceed for the best possible outcome with this person?"

How to proceed?
Best that you (46) go forward on your own and not put your life on hold waiting for him as he is only capable of Gradual Progress.
Results of your communicating the way you did and where things are going now?
He knows that you are Attracted to him and have left the door open should he care to Seek Union.

Saturn, Capricorn's ruling planet, has just turned retrograde and wont be direct till the end of summer. This can cause people to pull back from taking on more responsibility or making commitments.

Thank you. This actually mirrors what I have felt, but because I am new to this has offered insight. That I need to go on with what I am doing in life...regardless of how we may or may not proceed as a unit. He seems to need time to figure out what he is doing, as I have a fairly clear idea of what I want/need...he seems to be caught in a dichotomous state of mind.
