Man, I gotta tell you, for the longest time, I completely scoffed at all that astrology stuff. You know, horoscopes in magazines, “what your sign says about you” — felt like a load of old wives’ tales, just for fun, not for actual living. I used to roll my eyes hard whenever someone mentioned star signs or compatibility. It was just a bunch of fancy words to me, didn’t mean squat in the real world.
Then, life threw me a curveball, as it always does, right? I met this dude. He was… different. Like, really, really different from anyone I’d ever dated or even hung out with. He had this quiet energy, kinda dreamy, always seemed lost in thought, but then he’d snap back and be totally there. And he was a Pisces. My friends, bless their hearts, started telling me, “Oh, you gotta watch out for Pisces men, they’re so sensitive,” or “They’re gonna sweep you off your feet.” And I just thought, “Yeah, whatever.”
But as we spent more time together, I started to notice things. Little things, at first. Things that made me scratch my head, because my usual playbook for figuring out if a guy was into me just wasn’t working. He wasn’t overtly flirty in the way I was used to, didn’t make grand declarations right off the bat. It was all subtle, almost invisible if you weren’t paying close attention. And because I was so confused, because I genuinely liked him but just couldn’t crack his code, I started to just… observe. Call it my own little personal research project, my “practice record” if you will. I was trying to understand what was going on in that head of his, and more importantly, how to tell if he actually felt something real for me.
I wasn’t writing anything down, not with a pen and paper like a scientist, but in my head, I was cataloging everything. Every word, every glance, every gesture. I began to piece together a pattern. And let me tell you, when a Pisces man loves you, he doesn’t just say it with words. He shows it, in ways you might not expect. It was a whole learning curve for me, pulling apart each interaction.
He Will Listen Like No One Else
- I remember this one time, I was having a really rough week at work. I was just rambling, not even making sense, jumping from one frustrating thing to another. He just sat there, looking at me, really seeing me. He didn’t interrupt, didn’t try to fix it, just listened. And when I finally wound down, he didn’t offer advice; he just said, “That sounds incredibly hard, and I’m really sorry you’re going through it.” He validated my feelings without making me feel like I needed to be fixed. I felt so utterly understood, like he truly absorbed everything I was saying, not just heard the words.
- Another time, I casually mentioned wanting to learn how to paint, just a fleeting thought during a conversation. A month later, out of nowhere, he bought me a small easel, some brushes, and a beginner’s paint set. He remembered that tiny detail from weeks ago, something even I had forgotten. That wasn’t just hearing; that was deeply integrating what mattered to me.
He Will Show Unconditional Support
- I went through a period where I was doubting my career choices, feeling lost and unsure. Most people would try to give pep talks or tell me what I should do. Not him. He consistently reminded me of my strengths, celebrated my small wins, and just held space for my anxieties. He always cheered me on, even when I wasn’t cheering for myself. It wasn’t about agreeing with me; it was about believing in me, no matter what. I watched him stand by me, steadfast, when I felt like the ground was shaking beneath my feet.
- He became my biggest fan, my quiet cheerleader from the sidelines. I saw him defending me when others were critical, always had my back.
He Will Be Thoughtfully Romantic, Not Flashy
- He wasn’t the type to show up with a dozen roses every week. Instead, I opened my lunch bag one day and found a tiny, handwritten note telling me to have a good day. Or he’d pick up my favorite obscure snack from a specialty store miles away, just because he knew I liked it. He planned a picnic one time, not at some fancy park, but in my backyard, under the stars, with my favorite blanket and music. It felt incredibly personal, like he wove my preferences into every detail. I truly felt cherished, not just impressed.
- I remember him planning a weekend trip once; he took care of every single detail, from booking the tiny B&B I’d once mentioned I liked, to finding a local bookstore for me to browse. He just wanted me to relax and enjoy. I didn’t lift a finger.
He Will Share His Deepest Self, Eventually
- This was a big one. Pisces men are often guarded with their inner world. They live in their own heads a lot. But gradually, little by little, he started opening up. He’d talk about his dreams, his fears, his insecurities, things he probably hadn’t shared with many people. He showed me pieces of his vulnerable soul, which felt like a huge honor. It wasn’t a sudden flood; it was a slow, steady trickle of trust. I watched him peel back layers, revealing the truly sensitive core underneath.
- He started telling me about his childhood memories, very personal stuff that he rarely spoke about. I noticed he would share his big, wild dreams for the future, things that he wouldn’t just tell anyone, because they were so precious to him.
He Will Be Physically Affectionate in a Gentle Way
- It wasn’t always about big, passionate embraces. It was the way he’d just reach for my hand when we were walking, or rest his head on my shoulder while we watched TV. The gentle caress on my arm, the way he’d pull me close for no reason at all, just to hold me. It was a comforting, reassuring kind of touch, an unspoken connection that said, “I’m here, you’re safe with me.” I felt his presence, a quiet anchor.
- I found myself often just feeling his gentle touch, a comforting brush of fingers or a soft squeeze of my hand. These were not grand gestures, but consistently warm and tender connections.
So yeah, I went from scoffing at astrology to completely re-evaluating how I perceived love and connection, all because of one Pisces man. My “practice records” taught me that love from a Pisces isn’t always loud; it’s deep, empathetic, and expressed through these tender, thoughtful, and incredibly personal actions. It’s subtle, but once you start seeing it, you won’t miss it.
