Scorpios are the dark, intense and mysterious sign of the zodiac, and they can be aloof and reluctant to open up, but that doesn’t mean they’re not interested in you as a romantic partner. In fact, they’d probably prefer to be with someone more extroverted.

While Scorpios aren’t known for being too demonstrative, they can be pretty sensitive, even when they’re in relationships. Scorpios are prone to finding relationships difficult because their higher sensitivity can conflict with their extroverted nature.

Sometimes, though, Scorpios’ sensitivity can lead to the spark of romance as well. While Scorpio men are usually secretive, passionate, secretive, and down-to-earth, their desire to take care of others and their ability to trust someone can bring out the love they feel for their partners.

If they’re not open about their emotions, they’re never likely to be with anyone they have chemistry with, so it’s essential to be aware of how much you can get away with.

If a Scorpio man is interested in you, the best way to get him to open up to you emotionally is to make an effort to be a good listener. You’ll be better able to gauge whether he’s getting emotional with you or if he’s keeping his emotions in check until he feels more comfortable around you.

ListenAfter Work

The best way to get a Scorpio man to open up emotionally is to let him speak. Scorpios usually speak in riddles and rambles, so you have to be careful not to ask leading questions.

It’s also important to make sure you’re not trying to force too much from him or take on too much of his emotions. Instead, listen and acknowledge how he feels without trying to force a particular response from him.

Let him speak his mind.

Make a lot of eye contact

While some people find that being emotionally open drains them, the opposite is true for Scorpios. The more you can let them speak and let them give expression to their emotions, the more they’ll be able to open up.

Eye contact is significant for this, as is using your words to encourage him to open up gently. For instance, if he starts talking about how much he values the relationship, try to take that on board and affirm him.

You could say, “I’m glad you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with me.” Don’t force him to open up; remember that he is usually very guarded.

Approach him in the right way

There’s one thing that works every time, and that’s good communication. You don’t want to approach a Scorpio man from the wrong angle.

Scorpios really hate having their time wasted, and they like to know what you’re doing and where you’re going before you get there. So, if you’re going to try and get a Scorpio to open up to you, be clear about what you’re trying to achieve and do it with a purpose.

Even if your Scorpio man is dismissive, he’ll still be polite in his dismissal, and therefore you’ll get your message across. But avoid feeling like he’s in a polite mood.

The best approach for Scorpios to feel emotionally validated is to be clear, direct, and respectful.

Look for a catty excuse

When a Scorpio man is in a relationship, he wants to have his mind and emotions controlled.

He may get annoyed if you mention a problem in the relationship or interpret a nagging comment as needy.

Scorpios also tend not to want to be bothered about their problems because they’re often too intense to get distracted. Instead, use your Scorpio man’s love of privacy as an excuse to keep your feelings about his private life to yourself.

Be reliableFirst Job

Scorpios have a hard time opening up because they don’t feel they can rely on others. They get all their emotional needs met by themselves, and that’s hard for them to adjust to.

Therefore, you need to be reliable for them, and if you make a habit of being open with them and showing them your love and loyalty, they will start opening up in return.

Avoid using love as a power play

There are many reasons a Scorpio man may not be in a relationship, the least of which being because he doesn’t want to be. For a Scorpio man, love can be a power struggle, and therefore you must never let your love of him get in the way of his needs.

“Whether they’re indifferent to you or resentful of you, your love is a threat to his power,” shares writer Lorelei Lee. “To keep you in check, they feel the need to control you with emotional manipulation.”

Once he’s gotten over being annoyed that you loved him, you can get back to having fun and getting to know each other on a more personal level.

Give them the time and space they needmovie poster collection

The more you give a Scorpio the space to learn about themselves, the more they will come to know you, which is crucial for them. Please give them the space to follow their own lead.

Their instinct is to suppress or self-protect. However, they often end up going against their instincts, which is a scary thought.

So, you have to be the one to allow them to follow their instincts. You need to trust that they will do the right thing.

Please don’t force them into a conversation that they aren’t comfortable with

Sometimes, Scorpios may withdraw from the conversation because they don’t know how to deal with certain subjects, such as relationships and vulnerability.

It would help if you gave them time to process certain situations to react in the way they think they should, not the way you think they should.

Could you not make them feel embarrassed?

Scorpios don’t like to be put on the spot. They are shy by nature.

Scorpios don’t want people to take it easy on them.

If Scorpio asks you for something, try to think before you say it. Don’t be too judgmental. Your emotions will affect your judgment.
