It's okay to use emojis here and there when texting. Try not to overuse them, as that'll come off as too eager. But a little bit of emoji use will show them that you're lighthearted and fun. You should also always try to move the conversation forward as you're texting. You don't want to stick to one topic for too long, as this can become boring for the other person. Finally, don't be afraid to send a photo of somewhere that you're located that reminds you of the person for whatever reason, or say a song just came on and reminded you of the person. If you show that interest and common ground and it'll make the other person excited as well.

Anyone have experience dating a Pisces man?

WikiElephantReader409

Had my first date with a Pisces guy a few days ago and I think we really hit it off but I've never dated a Pisces before and would love any tips/advice/insight about what it's like. Can you tell me what to expect or watch out for?

WikiLorisRider448

I was married to Pisces for over 10 years until his passing (I'm a Capricorn). He was a big, buff biker, but all teddy bear once he let the tough exterior drop. Yes, very romantic! He would rather walk through a side lot of field and pick flowers for me than buy them! He enjoyed when I would praise him for his nature, or tell him exactly what I loved about him. But be sincere! Flattering him without honesty will pay him away; he will distrust you more. Do begin early by telling him one or two private things nobody else knows about you. If it's serious, he will feel like you're confidante and will open up quicker. But always maintain respect and loyalty, with honesty- sometimes the hard truth he'll appreciate more than if you sugarcoat it, as long as you use the correct soft tone of voice, and assure him that the truth is to help him, not harm him. My guy LOVED any little thing that showed I was thinking about him- a heart drawn on his napkin in his lunch bag, a few candies on his pillow if I went to bed early, smiley faces drawn on pancakes with chocolate chips, too! Home cooking and a real sense of maintaining our home really got kudos from him!
If you are intimate, be prepared to have your head completely blown off! But don't expect him to jump right in the sack with you. My guy had to be 100% that I was completely into him and totally loyal. Oh, yeah! This guy! He was my soulmate, my perfect match. We laughed all the time, danced to our music ('80's) in the grocery store aisles, sang at the top of our lungs when driving around. Our connection and commitment was palpable, and we were always being complimented on being such a far out couple!
My Pisces man was everything I dreamed of since I was a little girl- my Knight in shining armour who protected me and kept me safe, who played on his knees before bedtime, and rode a Harley and was completely covered in tattoos!!!
He WAS real. And although I was only gifted him from God for ten years, we lived reach day to the absolute maximum, always with each other, holding hands or my arm in his. He lived to kiss me, and just all his devotion made me want to do anything in the world just to see his smile and hear his laughter.
I can't think of a negative, except maybe don't be a nagger or try to win an argument based on emotional manipulation. My husband would walk out of the house. I knew he would come back, and would be loyal, but I would never know for how long he would be gone. And with him being in an MC, I always got a bit concerned. But Pisces are very trustworthy and honourable. He never needed a reason to keep a secret, and I knew everything about him. But he did have just one, and kept it for almost 3 1/2 years until after our 2nd anniversary ----- he had won a personal non-taxable, non-wage settlement with 9 zeros behind it and didn't know what to do with it!
We'd been living within our means, and he trusted me to find a good investment broker. We had an additional monthly draw from a percentage of the interest earned, and that was it. It allowed us to buy a more reliable vehicle, and go to the movies on the weekend. But grandkids started popping out, and Christmases were really a lot of fun!
You will never go wrong with a Pisces man, as long as you maintain your integrity and are always honest with him, show him how much you appreciate him, and remember how much he like to feel your hand touching him or lips kissing him. I miss my husband so terribly. I truly lost a huge piece of my heart and soul.
