Pisces men are kind-hearted and emotional. And, in romantic relationships, they can be a little elusive and difficult to pin down — especially in the early stages. Distance can make the heart grow fonder, even with slippery Pisces men. So creating a little distance may help him realize he's more into you than he previously thought — but it's important you stop short of emotional manipulation. Manipulative relationships are never healthy, regardless of how elusive someone is.
Want to give a Pisces man a little bit of a nudge? Try these non-manipulative ways to help him realize that you're just the right person for him.
Text a Pisces Man Who Is MIA
Pisces men can be slippery fish, so this elusive guy will sometimes disappear. It's not that he's ghosting you, per se. He's just off doing Pisces stuff, but that doesn't mean he's swum away from your hook (hahaha — Pisces fish reference right there).
If your Pisces man is MIA and has retreated to his private quarters, don't assume you'll never see him again. Drop him a flirty or sweet text and see how he responds. Keep a light, casual tone that won't scare him off, but let him know he's still on your mind. Chances are, if he's into you, he'll soon be swimming upstream to get to you once again.
Play It Cool
When a Pisces man falls in love, he loves hard. So in the early stages of a relationship, he might do things to put on the brakes so things don't go too deep too fast. You can help him to get comfortable by allowing him the space he needs to make sure you're really who he wants as his person. That means playing it a little cool (not unnaturally so — just maybe avoid dropping the l-word in the first month or begging to spend every waking moment together) so he has time to truly understand his feelings about you. In the early stages of getting to know him, keep it casual and let him take the lead. As his interest grows, he'll intensify the relationship at his own pace.
Be an Oasis of Calm
Pisces men have deep emotional lives. They're also pretty empathic, and they'll often experience another person's emotions as if they were their own. If your emotions are chaotic, then he'll feel like he's in chaos, too, and that's not a place he wants to be. Instead, be present and calm, and he'll recognize you as a safe person who makes him feel peaceful. When he's around more chaotic people, he'll miss that island of serenity, and he'll crave being in your peaceful presence.
Avoid Trauma Dumping
It seems like a lot of human interactions these days involve a ton of trauma dumping as soon as you meet one another. And in a romantic relationship, some of that is necessary as you grow your intimate connection. But in the early stages, keep it a little lighter, hold your own counsel, and use his level of sharing and intimacy to guide your own. For him, it's about finding a place of calm and peace to grow intimacy, and if you trauma dump too early in the relationship, he could swim away for good.
Let Him Take a Breather
Pisces men are often introverts, which means that they need alone time to recharge. So give him his space and avoid any stage five clinger tendencies. His need for alone time has nothing to do with you unless you refuse to give him his space. Then it has everything to do with you. He may need a few hours, or he may need a week. When he's had enough time to recharge, he'll come back your way if you've honored his needs.
Be Yourself
Empaths like a Pisces man have a finely tuned BS detector, so if you're not being authentically yourself, he's going to pick up on it right away. For an empath, being around someone inauthentic just feels icky, and he'll quickly drop those people from his life. So no matter what you think he may or may not like about you, always be yourself. It helps him feel more comfortable in your presence, so he'll want to continue to spend time with you.
Engage Him in a New Experience
Pisces men are intrigued by new experiences. Plan an outing that's something he's never done before but that you know he'll enjoy. Even though they're emotional, Pisces men like to have fun as much as the next guy, and if you're someone he has fun with, he'll want to keep coming around.
Remember That He's Sensitive
You don't necessarily need to pull any punches, but remember that Pisces men have deeply sensitive hearts, and their feelings can get hurt easily. If you do hurt his feelings, give him a little time and space to process. Then, apologize sincerely and let him know what you'll do to avoid doing the same thing in the future. Be good to your word and make an honest effort to do it. If he senses your sincerity and honest intention to do better, he'll come back around after he's had a little time to re-balance his emotions.
Reeling in a Pisces Man
He may be moody, but a Pisces man is also tender and kind-hearted, and he makes a great relationship partner. Allow him the space to be who he is, and there's a good chance your connection will grow if the two of you are right for each other.
