We work at the same place. He cleans the snow off of my car before he goes home.
He has expressed interest in dating me. I have turned him down more than once, perhaps distracted by those with showier plumage.

He continues to clean the snow off of my car. He squares his shoulders when I walk into a room; his face always brightens. He saves deserts for me from the lunchroom. I still tell him I am not interested in dating him. His behavior does not change. He still does these little things.
 
We remain friends; we hang out after work and trade off-color jokes. He is hilarious.
We begin to become more intimate. One night, he is trying to make a pass I think - and embarassingly enough, I fall asleep on the couch. At this time, I really am weary to the bone.

I wake up, confused, groggy, rubbing my eyes. There is a blanket over me.
He is still there. He is stroking my hair. I don't know how long I have been sleeping.
I sit up and apolgize for falling asleep. He jokes that he has that affect on most women.

He says he can tell that I really needed to sleep. I am now remembering the last guy I dated and fell asleep on; who left with no note or anything and I awoke in a cold dark room. (He was a Venus in Gemini, go figure! He musta been bored.)

Does the room seem brighter? It is. The lightbulb that had burnt out has been replaced. I look around. All of the burnt out lightbulbs in my house now have new bulbs. (There were a lot of them. Remember that I really have been tired, for a long time.)

"Did you do this? I thought I was out of lightbulbs?? Where did you find them?"

He says he noticed last time he was over that there were lots of bulbs out and so he picked up a box at the store and has had it them in his car, waiting until the next time I invited him over.

I look around some more. There is a light that has been broken for years because the wiring was tangled and shorting out and no one had the patience to stand on a ladder to try to fix it. I had tape over the switch so no one would use it and set the place on fire. The light has been fixed while I slept!It works! The kitchen is no longer dark on one end!

I go for a drink of water. Then I notice.

The kitchen has been cleaned - even the moldy bubble window over the sink with my dusty rock collection! The dishes are drying in the dishrack.

"You did all this? How long long have I been asleep?"

He says "Not long, I just figured I'd keep busy while you were sleeping. I can tell
you really need the rest, you seem really tired lately and I keep you up late all the time, hanging around, trying to hang out with you as long as I can, so...you aren't offended than I cleaned for you are you?" He looks up shyly, hoping I'm not mad!

Fast forward a few years...

I awaken in the night, in the circle of his arms. By his breathing I can tell he is asleep; but he has not relaxed the comforting, secure grip he has on me. Not tight, just right but he does not let go, has not stirred.

We once (before he moved in) fell asleep on the couch. Me on top of him. All night, and not once did he ask me to move, or complain that I was too heavy. He sits me on his lap still, and never whines "you have to move, my leg is falling asleep."

Each night when we go to bed, he offers me his heart as a pillow; he enfolds me in his long arms, and he does not let go, even in sleep.
If I stir and need to move, he knows to release me. When I turn to him again - the arms open up and encircle me. Once he has me in his arms, listening to the beat of his heart, he rests. He never seems to need to stir, doesn't thrash about, or turn his back to me. Every night, without fail, we sleep entwined. When I awaken, I am still in his arms, safe, secure. He is comforting, strong, still. Like a mountain.

I awaken, thinking "This is what it is like, to be loved."

This is what it is like to be loved by Venus in Capricorn.

What a sweet story! 

This is so absolutely lovely it made me cry...

To be loved by a venus in scorpio....

It's happened a few times..

Starts off intense..calling, texting, just to hear my voice, just to talk..to get to know the ins and outs of what my likes and dislikes are. I remember sitting on the couch next to my last venus in scorpio, he took his attention off the tv, looked me dead in the eyes...and when I asked what he was doing he replied "Just gazing".

Lots of intense eye stares, surprising me with my favorite things I didn't even realize he knew about (sharp attention)..intense intense earth shaking sex sessions that last hours, even point where I felt I was losing control. Of course, being a venus in sag I idealized it. Let him slowly start to control by cutting me down with cold remarks...

It started to get ugly...so I played his game...hurt him how he hurt me...and just when I thought it was over..he came back...

to be the one who could leave his bite mark and get the last blow....Now I know. The intensity and sadistic streak that is part of venus in scorpio just isn't healthy for me. Maybe others can appreciate it (other water signs or venuses) but It's taken me months to heal the scars I gained from that experience. OH - and every venus in scorpio I've dated has been extremely extremely sexy and beautiful.

Great story, Vajra.

I am loved by Venus in Gemini. I get called 14 times a day and he lies and says I call him. :-)

Vajra- I thought it was going to be Venus in Cancer, but no! it's opposite, Capricorn. I'm Very surprised.

Elsa- Too funny! I have a partner with Venus in Gemini, it is something he would do too.

We talk once a week, maybe twice.  He feeds me with stories of his adventures (side note: his Mars in Gemini) and projects and very manly pursuits. (He knows this is one of my weak points *grin*) We BS about the company we work for - 1800 miles away from each other, but same company. In a couple hours we manage to share most of what's going on in our lives with each other, and then we go our separate ways for several days.  Over the summer, those several days may be a couple weeks as vacations and family reunions interfere.  But every Tuesday for five years plus, we have a standing date and that is MY time.  And every time we talk, it's as intimate and comfortable as if I'd spoken with him ten minutes before.  The time we do get is serious Quality Time.  I know I'm on his mind often, just in the way he talks to me and about me, and it just ... works.  

That is what it's like to be loved by a Venus in .... Aquarius.

Heh.  Venus in Cancer wants to feed you and make you comfortable - not far from Vajra's story.

Lolz, Elsa...I used to get a lot of calls from the Venus in Gemini too. And we courted by email.

Shannon - he feeds me too, but I attribute that to his Moon in Taurus!

That's a beautiful story. 

My Venus in Cancer cooks for me - and does the dishes. He fusses over my comfort - am I too hot or too cold, can I hear OK or see OK, do I need a drink. He's an old fashioned gentleman. It took me a while to  learn not to hop out of the car, but to wait until he comes round and opens the door for me. Even after three years he always walks me to my door or to my car. He holds my hand or gives me his arm when we're walking together. I've never had anyone pay me so much attention without being smothering.

Ahh, that makes sense Vajra.  I've got Mars/Venus in Cancer.  My friends and lovers are all fed, comfortable, and physically satisfied to the best of my ability.

Awesome story. Totally my type of Venus!

Vajra that is such a beautiful story!

Years ago I met a man with Venus in Gemini- he worked at Starbucks and chatted up everyone he could find about anything and everything but soon he came up to me (my friend at the time worked there and was coworkers with him)--

 He flirted hardcore and we soon started to date... he was sweet (Cancer Sun), cooked me food and we cuddled/laid in each other arms on the weekend until he met another girl who chatted him up at the same Starbucks *laughs*-

I soon broke up with him and knew right away that they had a 'thing' going secretly so I didn't bother to wait for him to try and explain- he didn't admit it but I could hear it in his voice that it was true so we moved on with our lives without each other--

It was like he could be social with anyone and anything- that boy knew how to talk, how to laugh and was really into being onstage (for theatre and also could play the guitar just for fun). 

Venus is Scorpio....selfish, selfish, selfish. Yes intense! Which I love but mixed with a Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon, it seemed to be all and for about him...wish I had a sweeter story such as those above!...but Venus in Taurus..well that's another story all together...warm, cooked for me, called me his "Princess" made me feel proud to be with him, left me roses on my desk, wrote me poetry...ahhh!

Vajra I guessed right! :::beams::: do I get a prize??

Hm....Mr. Gemini has his Venus in Aries. I don't rightly know, though, it doesn't resonate with me.

He's more in tune with his Virgo moon. He shows his affection by researching things for you - checking the reviews, making sure whatever it is has no known "common problems" and if it does, how to fix them should they occur. Making sure your vehicle is in tip-top condition and vacuumed within an inch of its life. Fixing broken things so you don't have to deal with them in their broken state. Handling "manly" issues for you, so you don't have to - heavy lifting, dirty jobs, whatever.

Maybe that's partially Aries, but it's done OCDly rather than "I'm asserting control". It's done "this drives me nuts and it must drive you nuts, too, let me take care of that for you so you don't have to deal with it".

 
He does it on a regular basis. Cleaned my car for part of my birthday present. Before I went to Tennessee he did all that - took my car in to get the tires checked, took it in to get the exhaust (it was rattling) checked - all so I'd be safe.  Changed my oil. Vacuumed. Fixed a slight bumper issue. Took care of me.

There are many times where I would feel so ugly - due to the lack of accomplishments in life and that feeling of helplessness that life hasn't gone my way. Yesterday, he took my iPod Touch and went on facebook just to change my status into "Lunalie is beautiful! Yes she is!"

I turned to mush... seriously... I'm lucky I have this man - even though he uses his sneakiness for good reason ;)

He has a Venus in Libra in the 5th house conj. Jupiter and Saturn. The cute sneakiness is from his Scorpio sun (6th) conj. Mercury (6th) and Uranus (7th) ;) He also has a Leo Moon in the 4th house ;)

Venus in Sagittarius

Everytime he goes out of town he brings me a gift. maybe it's a pair of heart earrings, maybe it's a chocolate bar.

He loves spontaneous dates.

on the other hand, sometimes he totally forgets that i have an expectation; although this has gotten better with years of marriage.

He bought me a vacuum cleaner when we were first married, i had only  one tiny carpet, and he was unemployed.

He has bought me a new toilet for Christmas

A garbage can for Valentine's day

a bike tire pump for my birthday.

But he also does things like "here, I got a bonus, buy yourself a ticket to Italy"

Vajra, that is just beautiful! Thank you!  I totally thought it was Venus in Virgo... I have (and am) one of those and I love the small things (and also get the brushing-snow-off-car and many little favors).  Where is his Mars?

I find that I tend to be more interested in a man's mars.  My guy has mars in Capricorn.  Hes good.  He buys me flowers for no reason other than he says I should have them.  He always calls when hes supposed to.  Our first date was very official. He made sure to be clear that it was "a date" and not just a casual thing.  He likes to do things "the right way." 

We both have Venus in Scorpio which is nice, we like the same stuff, movies, restaurants, sex positions. As a Venus in Scorpio I tend to end up with other Venus in Scorpios.  We really deserve each other.  We are nasty, but we appreciate that when we're together. 

Jessica his Mars is in Pisces. So in mutual reception with his venus - bonus!

my first house venus is in scorpio and i have pluto conj my asc. iv had major issues with men all my life and had quite an inferiority complex as well. i met my guy the day after i turned 21. we dated for 6 years and got married two years ago. he is my rock and iv never felt so secure and at ease in my life. its like i can do stuff besides going crazy over where my guy is right now and who he's looking at.

he comes from a close knit family who did not want us to get married. my guy and i got married in court. i met his mom a year after we got married.  he puts me before everything else in his life and i truly feel loved. we do have our issues but at the end of the day, i sleep really well.

he has his venus in taurus, along with his sun, mars & merc.

oh what a nice story i'm venus in capricorn but i have'nt (yet) met anyone like that.

is that what i'm supposd to be like? realy nice - i thought venus/capricorn people are moody and hard to live with (like me) or maybe that's just the women.

I've got  a Gemini venus. I've always got a joke or something for my partner. And I do need some conversation with my romance!

My husband has a Scorpio venus. He's not nasty, he's really nice to me as a partner, although he can be really angry about other areas. Possessive, too :)

After 13 years, I think he knows that I'm not going anywhere, and that I really dislike being smothered.

My ex ex was venus in gemini - he'd call me all the time.. even when things were going to shit between us. Would be on the internet all the time downloading videos and songs etc. Would download porn just to see what was out there .. although his moon in scorpio probably liked it more than he let on.

My ex was venus in aquarius. He'd take me out all the time to various events in the city. And he always made time for me and gave me space. Even now when we are no longer together. His mars in libra loves to share - and the combo.. on our first date he shared his wine with me so we could have 2 glasses of different wine.. and on our 2nd he took a bite off my plate lol without asking. I was amused. We loved to share and sample a lot of various things. Went to a leather fetish ball together. My venus and mars in libra and moon in gemini loved all of that. :)

To be loved by... Venus in Virgo

Calls me away from the world so we can dwell in lofty secret places.  Only gives his best because nothing less will do.  Knows how to do his math so one plus one always and only equals two.  Sovereign and always ready to serve it up with a smile.  Basks in appreciation. Perfection, as in... he loves me and all my dirty and I love to hear it.

man, im loved by venus in pisces.

i absolutely love him. he is one of the sweetest and most romantic guys ive ever met. very emotional, and he allows himself to be so. extremely loving and mushy. always wants to make sure im okay. always wants to speak to me. he loves to buy me gifts. an absolute freak on the low. very secretive, but can't help but tell me his secret. he always knows exactly what to say, how to say it. when to do it....

and his sun is pisces!

that makes me sad! another pisces! im always falling in love with one of them!

mine gets sentimental when i cook dinner, clean the house, or bring him his coffee.  he gets especially loving look when he sees me caring for somebody, or even one of the cats. he worries about me if i'm tired, sick, or driving when the weather is yucky.

our first date was to a haunted house, and then over to his brother's house for a visit. our second date was to a halloween party, at his friend's house - who was like a second family to him.

venus in cancer, baby.

currently dating Venus in Leo...and I love it. Very generous, very vocal about having his needs met and very vocal about having my needs met! Everyone has needs! Let's meet them all! 

kash, that makes me very happy to hear. :)

yeah, I second that!

thanks gals! it sure is different than other Venus signs..!

Hubby is Venus in Sagittarius, conjunct Jupiter - he has a very big heart, and he brings positive vibes wherever he goes.  

I don't have a story for this... But maybe I will someday... But I have got to say that this is the sweetest thread ever.  And that Venus in Cap is SO true... Haha that's sooo me :)  Woo hoo for good love!

Been loved by: Venus in Gemini/Mars in Leo (lovely combination, simply lovely); Venus in Capricorn/Mars in Aq (odd, not my favorite); Venus in Aq/Mars in Sag (fun!); Venus in Leo/Mars in Aries (Cancer sun/saturn conjunction colored over this one I believe)

Me! Venus in Leo/Mars in Scorpio - Seeking Mars in Scorpio Male with Venus in Sag or Aq. 

Welcome, jenniferkay

Being in the presence of my Taurus Venus feels like a constant, low-level orgasm.  This scorpio is very satisfied!

Vajra...That story is absolutely beautiful and makes my Libra Sun sing! my Venus in Virgo can completely relate.I actually thought he had some Virgo influence, because he sounds a lot like my Honey Bear who has Sun in Virgo/Venus in Libra.Especially the part about sleeping with his arms around you.

I returned home from a long day of work some time ago to find my tiny apartment completely rearranged and repaired-he works from home- I had to get used to it...he asked...are you okay with me fixing things)...everything CLEAN and all my cosmetics and sundry packed away in a little box, which was termed my "beauty box".I was not allowed to leave eyeliner lying around after that.lol.I get regular massages and he washes my hair and cooks and brings me lunch at work. Sometimes I wake up and he is staring at me intensely. He also wakes me every morning by holding me in his arms and telling me loves me and goodmorning stinky breath.

At the bookstore the other day...I nearly collapsed with laughter after imagining what we sounded like to on-lookers.( Me and him sitting back to back in one of the aisles )

Him: "Just lean on me okay?"

Me:" okay...I'm leaning"

Him: "baby...you're not LEANING hard enough"

Me:"I'm leaning...what do you want from me?!!!"

Him:"NO YOU'RE NOT!!"

Me:"JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE...I'M LEANING...SH*T!!!!"

( minutes of silence)

Him: "honey..."

Me: "WHAT!!!"

Him (little voice): "...can you please lean on me?"

LMAO...gotta love my Virgo-Scorpio-Libra maniac!!!
