Your Pisces Man

Like a slippery fish, the Pisces man is hard to pin down. He needs to protect his freedom before he’ll commit to anything. No Fish ever wants to be trapped on the hook, after all! At the same time, when the Pisces man has no structure or boundaries, he flails around like a salmon on the dock, gasping for air. “The more you know me, the less I disclose,” says Chris, a Pisces writer.

Negotiating the push-pull dynamic of his dual natures can be a lifelong quest for Pisces. A relationship with him can take a lot of patience and understanding. This is the guy who stays with the same woman for 20 years but never marries her. Or, during a lonely spell, he calls the escort service, then becomes infatuated with his call girl. Her sheer unavailability gives him so much freedom, he freaks out and tries to hold tight.

If you’re dating a Pisces man, know that if he’s playing the “cold fish,” you’ve probably turned up the heat a little too high. Back away a step or two, and he may just swim right back to you — as long as you don’t back off too far. We realize this could sound dangerously like “The Rules,” and unfortunately, he does respond to being tortured and teased with mind games. Still, who needs that crap?

Here’s a better idea: Get a life, or keep living the one you’ve got. If you bait your hook with some juicy morsel — in other words, a full, exciting life — he’ll nibble and latch right on. The Pisces man is a follower, and he needs a strong leader. Once he’s sure you’re a queen, he’ll court you like a tenderhearted prince.

From there it’s all about lavish gifts, flowers delivered to your job, opera tickets and romantic picnics. Pisces is like a time-release romantic. He becomes more sentimental and tender the longer you’re together. It’s a trust thing. Make it safer and safer for him to be himself around you — he fears your judgment and craves your admiration more than anyone else’s.
