Looks like Mr Rave is keen for a date....another bloody Scorpio...sigh. They are always too much for me Scorps...always trying to control everything...

KinNora · 02/03/2013 23:14

Unwittingly, Ike, you have just described me to a 'T'.

Never been out with a Scorpio, I always seen to get December men, I always imagine they'd be dead moody and intense.

ike1 · 02/03/2013 23:20

Yes it wasnt unwitting though Kin...

Yes they are and they seem to love me for some reason...I think they like the challenge because I am a bit detatched and then its all hot n cold. Also sex obsessed. TR was a scorp....the guy on OKC who sends me long messages irratically is a Scorp...one if my best mates who I had a big fall out with...Scorp....friend in col who has a crush on me....Scorp (she's female I dont 'do' females)....sigh, Always stinging me with their little curly tails they are....

ike1 · 02/03/2013 23:22

My daughters a Scorp....her best mates a Scorp.....

ike1 · 02/03/2013 23:23

Though the above 2 dont fancy me and are not sex obsessed.....

VelvetSpoon · 02/03/2013 23:31

My first almost boyfriend (we never really went out because he was too young for me but he chased me on and off for 2 years) was a Scorpio. Never attracted one since.

I just end up with moody self-pitying Pisceans, Capricorns who just want to control me, or over sensitive Cancerians.

KinNora · 03/03/2013 00:00

You've got me bang to rights, Ike. You and your Scorpio attractant ways.

The only male Scorpio I've ever known was the bloke who was best man at my wedding, one of those extraordinarily clever people who has no common sense whatsoever.

What's Cuthbert, Velvet ?

smoothieooo · 03/03/2013 00:06

I've never been 'close' to a Scorpio. Mainly Gemini or Aries geezers (I'm Aries).

Just had a lovely hour browsing POF (at one point with my DC pointing and laughing over my shoulder). I feel for the guy looking for a 'nice descent, mature lady'. Oh it's a descent my friend, but not particularly nice... Grin

ike1 · 03/03/2013 00:08

oh i dunno...i am ahem a 'mature' lady ....and descending on me is ALWAYS nice....

VelvetSpoon · 03/03/2013 00:11

Kin, Cancerian I think. Sure I remember something about his birthday being in July, and he's a v unlikely Leo!

VelvetSpoon · 03/03/2013 00:16

Smoothie, I love the 'with DC pointing and laughing over my shoulder' :)

I'm a Taurean.

Just realised I've only ever been interested in 2 Taurean men, both of whom were allegedly my friends despite clearly (to me and most other people anyway) fancying me and then denying it when asked Hmm

KinNora · 03/03/2013 00:20

Special Aries high five to Smoothie.

Talking of 'descent' I'm sure I must have told you about the message I received from the man who assured me that he liked to play 'poo sticks'.

No, Velvet, from what you've said, Old Cuthy doesn't sound very leonine. I don't think I've even been so much as friends with a cancerian.

OhWesternWind · 03/03/2013 00:22

LM is a Leo but on the cusp ... My dad was too though I don't think either of them are "typical". Whatever that is!

Ike how are you surviving surrounded by all those scorps with their tricky little tails? Don't they have pincers as well? I saw a horror film about scorpions when I was much younger and it scared the bejesus out of me.

lubeybooby · 03/03/2013 00:26

One of my uncles is Cancer. He is quite camp although definitely straight. quite whiny and whingey. Nice bloke otherwise though who will do anything for anyone

My ex was a Taurus and was a nightmare though I put that down to paranoia from past drug use plus possible aspergers type issues, combined, rather than taurean-ness. Though maybe that contributed to him being the type to get stuck in his ways, job and routine and never do anything different... to fear different, even. MAJOR clash point with us, me as the airy and free Gemini, bored easily... more of a risk taker... etc.

I tend to attract the fire signs.

Why am I even talking about this? I do not do astrology woo. [slaps self]

smoothieooo · 03/03/2013 00:28

Kin please tell me poo sticks as in the lovely innocent game involving flowing water and a bridge. Pleeeease. I know it ends badly though....

smoothieooo · 03/03/2013 00:33

I don't really do astrology either Lubey but occasionally read the stars to check whether disease and pestilence might rain down upon my ex, therefore ensuring a splendid day for me!

I have definitely had too much Wine to have briefly emerged from lurkdom where I belong

VelvetSpoon · 03/03/2013 00:35

Kin Grin no, C isn't Leonine in the slightest.

DS1 is a Leo and has the fiery temper to match his mane!

My lovely Ex was Cancer. Hence the poetry writing and tears. Not whingy but deffo v v sensitive.

VelvetSpoon · 03/03/2013 00:36

I am not woo in the slightest...my astrology thing waxes and wanes, I don't take it terribly seriously only the bits that suit my thinking :)

KinNora · 03/03/2013 00:38

I assumed he meant Poohsticks, particularly as he liked doing it on woodland walks but one can never be too careful...

Nah, astrology's bollocks, innit, us Arians have a very low threshold for that kind of rubbish.

KinNora · 03/03/2013 00:40

(I do like the bits that say I'm all tempestuous, loyal and passionate though )

lubeybooby · 03/03/2013 00:40

I used to take it all really seriously in my teens, I laugh at my DD now who is just like I was with it. Bless her!

I would like it to hurry up and be the 9th now please.

KinNora · 03/03/2013 00:43

Ahh, Lubey, is that when you're sexy-timing seeing BC ?

lubeybooby · 03/03/2013 00:45

That's when I'm sexy-timing having dinner with Mr S, the scottish 24 yr old.

On my way back on the 12th/13th I'll be stopping over to sexy-time have dinner with BC

OP posts:
KinNora · 03/03/2013 00:47

I don't think any of my lot have ever mentioned their star signs ( 2 Geminis & a Leo ). I did have a book about sun signs by Linda someone in my late teens early twenties which I liked because it made Ariens sound very sexy and interesting, but then I am extremely shallow

KinNora · 03/03/2013 00:48

Lubey, if I had a hat on, I'd be taking it off to you right now
