Are you dating or romantically involved with a stubborn Scorpio man? Is he ignoring you and acting emotionally disconnected? 

Are you looking for advice on what to do when the Scorpio man refuses to text you back or answer your personal questions? 

As a relationship astrologer, I know that dating the emotionally intense Scorpio man is not an easy task.

In astrology, Scorpio is a fixed water sign. Scorpio’s fixed nature is represented by a Scorpion, a creature that hides alone in the shadows and stings (an act of self-sacrifice) when it feels threatened or attacked. 

Because water signs are naturally sensitive individuals, the Scorpio man has a soft side that is sometimes impossible to uncover. 

Instead of exposing their sensual nature, they often choose to repress their intimate feelings and physically retreat. 

When a Scorpio is going through one of their transformation phases, you may not hear from them for weeks. 

So, what do you do when the Scorpio man is ignoring you? 

Do you ignore him, reach out, try to fix things or just relax?

4 Ways to Respond When A Scorpio Man Ignores You

1. Stand Your Ground

This advice may seem childish at first glance, but hear me out. 

If a Scorpio man is throwing one of his temper tantrums for no reason (you did nothing to provoke him), it’s okay to speak out on it and let him know that you won’t tolerate the subtle disrespect. 

Sometimes Scorpio men can use their conflicted emotional disposition as an excuse to manipulate others or mistreat others. 

But what Scorpio men fail to realize is going back and forth with someone who ignores you is emotionally draining for all parties involved. 

So, instead of feeding into his drama and escapist tendencies, call him out on it and let him know that withdrawal is not the way to respond or react. 

Rather than avoiding his emotions, help him see through direct communication that you are on his side and want things to work out. 

But with zero hesitation, also let him know that you deserve to be treated with respect. 

If he’s mature, he will accept your honesty. 

If he’s not, accept that he may not text you back. 

2. Ask Him What’s Wrong

One of the quickest ways to cut through the ego of an emotionally detached Scorpio is to blatantly ask him what’s wrong. 

Oftentimes Scorpio men don’t know how to express their complex emotions, and rather than saying they feel confused or overwhelmed, they choose to say nothing at all. 

Rather than letting the silence go on, share your concern and frustration by checking on him. 

Ask him if it’s a personal issue that he’s having or if something within the relationship has changed. 

Depending on his mood, he may not tell you what’s going on, but at least you asked. 

Scorpio men can be very secretive. But if you’re patient (and he trusts you enough), you could become his lover and human diary. 

3. Ignore Him Back

Ignoring the Scorpio man back when he is ignoring you is one of the best ways to beat him at his own game. 

As a possessive fixed water sign, the Scorpio man is most confident when he knows that he has his partner emotionally attached. 

If the Scorpio man knows that you are sulking over him or if you are constantly trying to win him back by calling and texting his phone, he knows he has you, so there’s no need to change his ways or put in any real relationship work.

However, if you switch the roles and show the Scorpio man that you are not going to sit around and wait for him to choose you, he will come searching for you to figure out where you’ve been. 

Therefore, when the Scorpio man starts acting distant and ignoring you don’t sweat. 

Play it cool and ignore him back. 

4. Let It Go

As hard as it may be, a Scorpio man that ignores you on a consistent basis is a telltale sign that it’s time to let it go. 

No matter how many times you tell yourself it’s just his personality, the love is so good, or how connected he makes you feel, you deserve someone who will show up for you.

At the same time, if you decide to let the Scorpio man go, you need to make sure that you are ready to walk away. 

Don’t use ending the relationship as a tactic to draw attention or make him chase you because threatening to leave a Scorpio man just because is a guaranteed way to push him away.  

Only say you want to end things or take a break if that’s what you are going to do.
