The key here is to keep your lips sealed. You can thank him for his honesty, and if he seems to be waiting for you to reciprocate, just don’t. By holding onto your secrets, you’ve played him at his own game. Of course, manipulation is never cool. And for evolved, secure, confident Scorpios, these games won’t be an issue. But if it helps, Scorpios do feel connection through the deep, emotional stuff – like secrets. So, you can at least enjoy that he’s trying to connect with you!
This is another easy one to deal with. Just don’t tell a soul! Try to forget he even mentioned it. If you give anything away, even on accident, you’ll have lost his game.
Scorpio men definitely want honesty, even if it’s brutal. If you’re tempted to lie because the truth may hurt him, it’s not worth it. To avoid any vengeful, Scorpio games, be truthful with him.
If he seems like he’s suspiciously invested right at the beginning, just keep your cool. Definitely avoid bragging about how much he likes you to other people. Instead, relax. Take the positive attention in stride and try to determine how you feel about him without letting his intensity affect your decision.

When it’s clear that your Scorpio man has gone from one hundred to zero, shift your focus. Worrying about when he’ll call will do you no good, so instead, make the day all about you. Finish that house project you’ve been putting off, take yourself on a museum date, or enjoy a nice long walk. By choosing to enjoy the day, you’ll prove that you aren’t at his beck and call. When he realizes you didn’t stress over his silence, you’ll have played this Scorpio man at his own game.
You can rise to the occasion without stooping to his level. Send a reasonable, honest response to tell him you care without totally losing your cool. Try something like, “Hey! I haven’t heard from you in a minute. I just wanted to let you know that I like you and would love to keep doing what we’re doing. But if you don’t respond, I’ll take the hint. Hope to talk soon. " This way, you’ve set clear expectations, and you’ve totally let yourself off the hook. He wanted the ball to be in your court, but because you’ve been totally honest, it landed back in his. You’ve officially played him at his own game.
Remind him that you like him, and over-the-top-promises aren’t necessary, “You know, I already like you. You don’t need to promise me anything super major right from the start!” By showing him that you aren’t falling for his tricks, you’ll keep your heart safe from broken promises, and you’ll have him beat. After all he can’t use this mind game to pull you in if you don’t let him. [13] X Research source
Let’s say you suspect that he’s testing your loyalty by planting a secret and waiting to see if you spill it. You could say, “I feel like you can learn so much about someone by paying attention to how they handle your secrets. Don’t you think so?”
If he draws you into a debate, don’t be thrown by how collected he’ll be. Instead, just enjoy the battle of wits. If you show him you can have fun and not lose your temper, you’ll have played him at his own game.
If your Scorpio guy asks you to do something that he could do himself, he may be testing you. If he is, take a moment to decide whether or not you’re comfortable playing his game. [16] X Research source If you’re happy enough to go along with it, then feel free to blow him away. Handle the project confidently, and the Scorpio in your life will be thrilled. If you’re (totally understandably) not interested in jumping through hoops, feel free to just confront it head on. Try something like, “Wouldn’t you normally do this yourself? You wouldn’t be testing me or something, would you?” Scorpios can’t play games with anyone who’s caught on to their tricks. So either way, you win.
Apologize, tell him he’s important to you, and remind him that though you’ll work to be forgiven, you’ll accept his choice either way. Finally, you can mention that you hope he won’t let his pride keep him from a special relationship. Yes, Scorpios may withhold forgiveness as a mind game. But at the end of the day, this is a super logical sign. They may give in if you meet them with reason. And with that, you’ll have won.
