    Scorpios are masters of mind games, and it’s hard to win against them. Combining the deep emotional intelligence of a water sign with the inherent caution of a sign ruled by Pluto, Scorpios easily see through drama.[1] If you’re avoiding texting a Scorpio that you care about to win him over, know you might not end up on top.
    • If a Scorpio figures out that you’re playing games with him, he might end up playing one back. If you don’t want your feelings messed with, steer clear of messing with a Scorpio’s heart.[2]

He’ll be intrigued.

    Scorpios love mysteries, so he might become curious. If you don’t text a Scorpio man, he could end up using his inborn detective instincts to try and figure out why. Scorpios like challenges, and a break in communication could feel like a test in the early stages of a relationship.[3]
    • As a water sign, Scorpios are naturally interested in other people’s emotions. They can get excited thinking about what’s motivating your actions.

He’ll demand you get back to him.

    Scorpios can be controlling in relationships, so expect this behavior. A Scorpio might just end up bombarding your phone with messages until you get back in touch. For some signs, this kind of behavior can be really appealing, and for others not so much.[4]

He’ll get obsessed.

    Scorpios are passionate, which can sometimes lead to obsession. These signs are known for overthinking things, which can lead to him obsessively wondering why you aren’t texting him. When they start to get attached to someone, they can’t stop thinking about them.[6]
    • If you aren’t texting a Scorpio, they might begin obsessively going through your social media to see if you’ve been online.
5

He’ll get paranoid.

    Scorpios have a reputation for paranoia in relationships. By not texting a Scorpio, you can provoke him into dwelling on whether or not you’ve found someone else. While this might be fun for a while, a paranoid potential partner can quickly grow stale, so be cautious.[7]
    • Among the water signs, Scorpio represents waters deeper and darker undercurrents. A Scorpio can become suspicious and paranoid much more quickly than other signs.

He’ll feel hurt.

    Scorpios are known to be quite sensitive. Not texting him can feel like a betrayal of the trust he’s put in you. Water signs are the most emotionally sensitive signs in the zodiac, and Scorpios are no exception. They take their personal relationships seriously, and are quite vulnerable when they get close to others.[8]
    • When a Scorpio is hurt, he might end up withdrawing from others. You could end up putting a Scorpio in a mood where he becomes sullen and outwardly sad.
7

He’ll be mean.

    When a Scorpio’s upset, he might end up lashing out. Remember that this is the sign of the scorpion, which means that people of this type are ready to whip out their pincers and stingers. If you get on a Scorpio’s bad side, he could call you names or start stirring up drama about you.[9]
    • If a Scorpio or anyone else ends up harassing you, do your best to cut them out of your life. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly.

He’ll keep his feelings to himself.

    A Scorpio may keep you guessing about his feelings. These signs have an extremely strong need for privacy and control, so they are one of the slowest signs to open up about their feelings to other people. Confessing weakness or making himself emotionally vulnerable is not something a Scorpio would be comfortable with.[10]
    • If you want to know how a Scorpio feels, ask him. Send him a text like, “I know there’s been some distance between us—how are you feeling?”
    • Although a Scorpio might still refuse to open up, you have a much better shot of knowing what he’s thinking if you ask a direct question.
9

He’ll ask if you’re okay.

    If you’ve established a relationship with a Scorpio, he’ll worry for you. Scorpios are famous for their loyalty, and once they’ve managed to create a deep connection with someone, they’re fiercely protective of this relationship. Expect that a Scorpio with whom you share a deep bond will feel really concerned about you if you drop out of communication.[11]
    • If a Scorpio man who cares for you can’t reach out over text, expect him to call you, your friends and family members, or do anything else in his power to make sure you’re okay.

He’ll reevaluate the relationship.

    Scorpios are cautious, and a lack of communication can create distance. Since they’re ruled by Pluto, Scorpios tend to watch carefully for signs that a relationship won’t work out.[12] If you are refusing to communicate with him, a Scorpio might decide to distance himself.
    • It’s best to be upfront with a Scorpio about how you feel. Giving a Scorpio a reason to suspect that you aren’t committed to a relationship with him can cause him to become suspicious of you.
11

He’ll break things off.

    Scorpios can be all-or-nothing personalities. When they love, they love hard, and if that love isn’t present, they’re likely to back off completely. If your lack of texting is a sign that you can’t match a Scorpios passion in the way he’d like, he’s going to wonder what you two are doing in the first place.[13]
    • If you like a Scorpio, don’t give him a chance to doubt your feelings. Let him know that he matters to you.
