If you choose to have a relationship with a Pisces man, take the time to discuss communication needs. For instance, you might want to check in every day or two with a quick call or text. The key is to find a balance that works for you both.

The silent treatment is not okay if you feel like he’s doing it to punish you—say, you’re in a committed relationship with him and you two have been fighting. If this is the case, blow off some steam and talk about your problems.

As time goes on and your relationship becomes stronger, communication becomes even more important. If you feel like he’s not spending enough time with you, it’s important to bring that up.

If you’re not sure how to react, try to stay calm and be your authentic self.

The best thing you can do is casually signal your interest. Send him a short text like, “Are you doing anything this week?” to put the ball in his court.

Think about what you want in a relationship—if you want someone steadfast that you can rely on, then make commitment a priority. If you’re fine with a fun, casual relationship, then don’t stress when he cancels on you. If you’re alright with him canceling, keep an upbeat attitude and say something like, “No worries! We’ll get together another time. "

He’s looking for someone who’s independent, so don’t worry about him when he needs his space. Trust that he’s getting a break and do something you enjoy.

He’s looking to see if you’re flexible and can roll with his moods. Take a deep breath and focus on your own well-being when he’s in a bad mood. Remind yourself that this mood will soon pass!

Stand up for yourself and explain your standards. He’ll be impressed that you don’t let him push you around. For example, if you’ve asked him not to call you late at night, but he starts calling once you’ve gone to bed, ignore his calls and remind him that you don’t accept calls after a certain time.

The best thing you can do is be non-confrontational, but supportive. Let him know that you’re around when he wants to talk, but focus on your own interests or spend time with your friends.

Over time, a Pisces guy will realize that you’re committed and that he can trust you completely.
