12 Signs a Scorpio Man Has Feelings for You

Don't let the mysterious exterior fool you. Scorpio guys catch feelings all the time. And while he has a reputation for being dark, broody, and super sexual, relationships with Scorpio guys are totally worth it. 

You might think his air of mystery would make it hard to read the signs that a Scorpio man has feelings for you, but he has a few tells that could suggest you're about to take a dive into deep Scorpio waters.

Scorpio men are somewhat introverted (all the better to brood, apparently), but that doesn't mean they aren't social — they're just choosy social. And if he's choosing to be where you are quite often (not in a stalker way — just making a point to go to the same social functions you do), and he makes a point to seek you out while he's there, there's a good chance you're the reason he's there in the first place. 

Scorpios are often the guys who are sitting and observing quietly in the corner of the room. Scorpio is investigative by nature, so they like to learn everything about people who interest them. So, if you notice that he notices things about you that you haven't specifically told him, and he brings them up later in conversation, he's probably been paying attention because he's super curious about you. 

He may be aware of music you like, books you read, or things that interest you. For example, my first sign that my Scorpio husband was into me was that he noticed I was reading a book about quantum physics in the breakroom at work. He made a point to talk to me about it several times because he was interested in getting to know me better and understanding what made me tick. 

Here's the deal with Scorpio guys — intimacy is super important to them. And we're not just talking physical intimacy. They want to take a deep dive to get to know people who interest them. So there's a good chance he's not going to ask run-of-the-mill getting-to-know-you questions. No surface-level chit-chat for him. He won't ask you what type of music you like, for instance. He'll get to the heart of it. Why do you like the music you do? How does it make you feel? What appeals to you about it?

Conversations go deep with a Scorpio who's into you because he's not interested in hanging out on the surface with you — he's looking for intimacy, and he wants to get to your core.

Scorpios are water signs, so they're all about feelings. But they're also super secretive, so they prefer to keep those feelings to themselves. That is unless they're looking to become more intimate with someone because they're interested in them. So if he shares information about his feelings, motivations, or deep thoughts, it's because he thinks you're special and worth sharing that information with.

Scorpio men may be magnetic and seductive, but flirting isn't their natural state of being. Some men (hello Gemini) will flirt with anyone and everyone because it's just sort of how they interact with the world. But not Scorpio men. So if they're flirting; that is, making intense eye contact, giving light touches, smiling a lot when they talk to you, mirroring your body language, and all those other flirty behaviors, it means something. 

This has to do with that desire for intimacy again. Because Scorpio wants to know everything about the people they're romantically attracted to, they want to know the other people who are important in your life so they can get a clearer picture of who you are.

Before a Scorpio man becomes romantically attached to anyone, he has to trust them completely. So if he's sharing his secrets with you and telling you things that other people don't know, it's a pretty sure sign of romantic interest.  

If you're in a crowded place but feel like you and your Scorpio man are the only two people in the room, he's probably interested. Scorpio's MO is to draw the person they're interested in off into a quiet corner so they can have an intimate conversation. If you feel like it's just the two of you when you're in a sea of people, it's a sign that a Scorpio man has feelings for you.

Scorpios are intense, and that comes with a lot of deep feelings — especially when they're interested in someone. And that intensity can cause them to feel a little jealous or even possessive, especially if you've been talking for a while, and he's let you into his world. So if you notice he's a little (or a lot) irritable when you're chatting up some other guy (or he's just hovering nearby brooding), it's a good sign there's some attraction there. 

With their investigative spirits, Scorpios are big on gathering intel about people who interest them — particularly romantic interests. You can bet he's already Googled you and stalked your social media, and there's a good chance he's asked mutual acquaintances what they know about you, too. It's all part of building trust and establishing intimacy for Scorpio. 

On social media platforms, Scorpios act pretty much the same way they would at a party when they're interested in someone. They make a point to be nearby, or, in social media parlance, engage. So you'll notice him liking posts, commenting, and even sliding into your DMs a lot when he has feelings for you.

Scorpio guys can be pretty direct. And they're used to getting what they want because potential romantic partners are drawn to their magnetic personalities like flies to honey. So if he's attracted to you, once he trusts you and has decided you're a worthy partner, he'll just come right out and tell you with all the confidence in the world that you reciprocate. 

Scorpios can be hard to read, but when they develop feelings for someone, it gets a lot easier. A Scorpio man has all sorts of ways he'll let you know he's interested. And if the feeling is mutual, he'll probably make a loving, exciting, protective, and loyal partner who's totally worth getting to know.
