Okay, so, it was a mess. I messed up, big time. My Aquarius man, the coolest, most independent guy I knew, was gone. And it was my fault. I got needy, clingy, the whole nine yards. Not cute. Not a good look for attracting an Aquarius, let me tell you. They need their space like a fish needs water, you know?
So, first things first, I backed off. Completely. No calls, no texts, not even a sneaky like on his Instagram pics. Radio silence. It was tough, like, really tough. I wanted to reach out every five seconds, but I knew that would just push him further away. It was like giving him the room to breathe that I didn’t before.
Then, I focused on myself. Not in a selfish way, but like, getting back to the things that made me, well, me. I started hanging out with my friends more, went back to that yoga class I loved, and even dusted off my old guitar. I filled my days with the work and hobbies.
After a while, I decided it was time to casually re-enter his orbit. I didn’t make a big deal out of it. I just showed up at that coffee shop we both liked. When we bumped into each other, it was like a scene. I kept it light, breezy, like running into an old friend. We chatted for a few minutes, no pressure, no drama, then I said I had to run.
- No pressure.
- No drama.
- Just breezy conversation.
Next, I used social media to my advantage. I didn’t post anything directed at him, of course. But I started posting pics of me doing fun stuff, looking happy and independent. Basically, I was showing him, not telling him, that I was doing great.
The hardest part? Being patient. Aquarius men move at their own pace. I had to respect that. It was weeks, maybe even a couple of months, before he finally reached out. A simple text, “Hey, how have you been?” But it was a start.
We started talking again, slowly. I made sure to give him space, to let him lead the conversation. No deep talks about feelings, just fun, interesting stuff. Then he asked me to get a coffee, I accepted and enjoyed the date.
It wasn’t easy. There were times I doubted myself, times I wanted to give up. But I stuck with it, and it paid off. We got back together, and things are better than ever. I learned my lesson. Aquarius men need freedom, independence, and a partner who’s secure in herself. And, hey, it turns out, those are good things for me too.
It has been a long journey. But I did it. And we are together now. Happy ending!
