As one of the many Leos who has dated (and been confused by an Aqua), you have to understand that as our opposite sign Aquas have a different perspective concerning time than we do. To us 3 weeks is a loooong time, not so much for them.
One of the main characteristics that throws people off is an Aqua's disappearing act. While they may disappear for many reasons, if I had to guess your Aqua is figuring out his feelings for you. Aquas will also disappear if they have NO interest in you or are upset with you. Since he reached back out to you about the concert, I'd guess that there is some interest on his part (and that he's not angry at you).
Aquariuses also spend a lot of time in their heads than their hearts. So he may not readily understand that 3 weeks of silence hurts you. You may just need to let him know, "Hey just a heads up, it makes me feel odd when you stop talking to me out of nowhere. Do me a favor and be mindful of that. Getting back to me in a more reasonable amount of time would make me feel better." Sometimes Aquas need to be calmly informed when their actions are unconventional or hurtful to those around them. Don't get upset, just tell him straight.
THAT all being said, if this Aqua doesn't seem to change his tune and be more mindful of your feelings just let him know, "Hey I enjoy our time together and I also have feelings for you. It doesn't appear that you feel the same way though, so I'm going to start looking for someone who can reciprocate my feelings. If you want something more with me, let me know." Then let him go.
Be honest with him and then back off to give him the freedom to CHOOSE you. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. There are far too many stories of Aquas confronting their own feelings when faced with loss. This may be the spark that gets him moving. It's possible that he starts chasing when you wind up with someone else too. You never know with Aquas, so expect the unexpected.
Then again, it's also possible that he lets you leave to pursue other interests. Be sure to plan for this outcome as well. Aquas are not generally possessive until they find that ONE person they can invest all of their love. They believe in being free and giving people their freedom too. As a result it is very likely he'll give you the freedom to roam, not understanding that you need him to be more possessive of you. In which case you may find that another guy can provide you with the warmth you require.
My advice is to be direct with him and to stop playing the friend card, since it doesn't sound like that's truly what you want. You seem to want more than his friendship at this point. Also sounds like you're in this weird limbo at the moment and you're unsure how to proceed. Leo to Leo my advice is to always go for the person who is most enthusiastic to be with you. You may find that he is emotionally unable to provide you with the attention you need to feel comfortable. Don't take it personally, just move on with your life.

I read your post earlier, and the responses. Couldn't have done much better than those. 🙂
Let him do his thing (and do yours) but be excited when he wants to spend time with you.
I found that I really had to internalize the phrase, "is this the hill you really want to die on?" If the answer is no (It usually is), then I do my best to let it go.
If yes, then stand firm and get what you need.
That approach has seemed to work out pretty well.

Posted by xo_leoOh this isn't bad. I have no clue what he'll say, but everything looks generally positive. Aquas need need NEED to sort through their feelings. Sometimes they need the thought of you leaving (or for you to actually move on) for those feelings to snap in place. It can be different with each Aqua. Sometimes it's just an honest conversation about your true feelings that gets things moving. Don't worry so much about the silence or downtime right now. You spoken your truth, now let him mull it over.Posted by Chuckcem

Thank you for your such detailed response!! I really appreciate your answer (as many others have stated as well in the following responses).
I basically did my best to say to him your suggested comment: "Hey I enjoy our time together and I also have feelings for you. It doesn't appear that you feel the same way though, so I'm going to start looking for someone who can reciprocate my feelings. If you want something more with me, let me know."
And...
I didn't tell him ... in person...
I got really nervous and called him after the concert. He was on the public transportation system. He stated that he appreciated that I brought up the topic and he would like to have the conversation in a more private place where he felt more comfortable talking about it. He said he would reach out to me sometime this weekend to talk about it.
This was definitely not the response I was thinking would happen...and now I just continue on with my day(s). This is so weird!! I don't know what this behavior means. I just feel like if he doesn't like me, and he should say it as is instead of prolonging a heartbreak...
Now I am just sad.

Aquas can be VERY private with their emotions, so it makes sense that he'd want to talk when he wasn't out in public. This is normal. Aquas can be awkward with emotions. Just give him the time he needs. He'll be in touch with you, don't worry. In the meantime, go about your own life and act as if you'll never hear from him again (I don't mean to start dating other men right away), but mentally adjust to the thought that you may need to move on to other options.

Posted by -Flo-Interesting, so you're go with the flow, but possibly a little impulsive and a bit scattered with what you want, would that be a decent guess? Your Aqua and Pisces makes me think you aren't looking to be pinned down, but you are still looking for that special companionship nonetheless. The Gemini Mars and Arie Moon makes me think that you can be pretty chatty with some nervous energy thrown in, so you prefer to stay active.Posted by ChuckcemAqua sunPosted by -Flo-Hahaha, fire is easy for us Leo folk.

It doesn't appear that you feel the same way though, so I'm going to start looking for someone who can reciprocate my feelings. If you want something more with me, let me know." Then let him go.
Be honest with him and then back off to give him the freedom to CHOOSE you. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. There are far too many stories of Aquas confronting their own feelings when faced with loss. This may be the spark that gets him moving. It's possible that he starts chasing when you wind up with someone else too. You never know with Aquas, so expect the unexpected.
Then again, it's also possible that he lets you leave to pursue other interests. Be sure to plan for this outcome as well. Aquas are not generally possessive until they find that ONE person they can invest all of their love. They believe in being free and giving people their freedom too. As a result it is very likely he'll give you the freedom to roam, not understanding that you need him to be more possessive of you. In which case you may find that another guy can provide you with the warmth you require.
My advice is to be direct with him and to stop playing the friend card, since it doesn't sound like that's truly what you want. You seem to want more than his friendship at this point. Also sounds like you're in this weird limbo at the moment and you're unsure how to proceed. Leo to Leo my advice is to always go for the person who is most enthusiastic to be with you. You may find that he is emotionally unable to provide you with the attention you need to feel comfortable. Don't take it personally, just move on with your life.
Thank you for your such detailed response!! I really appreciate your answer (as many others have stated as well in the following responses).
I basically did my best to say to him your suggested comment: "Hey I enjoy our time together and I also have feelings for you. It doesn't appear that you feel the same way though, so I'm going to start looking for someone who can reciprocate my feelings. If you want something more with me, let me know."
And...
I didn't tell him ... in person...
I got really nervous and called him after the concert. He was on the public transportation system. He stated that he appreciated that I brought up the topic and he would like to have the conversation in a more private place where he felt more comfortable talking about it. He said he would reach out to me sometime this weekend to talk about it.
This was definitely not the response I was thinking would happen...and now I just continue on with my day(s). This is so weird!! I don't know what this behavior means. I just feel like if he doesn't like me, and he should say it as is instead of prolonging a heartbreak...
Now I am just sad.
Aquas can be VERY private with their emotions, so it makes sense that he'd want to talk when he wasn't out in public. This is normal. Aquas can be awkward with emotions. Just give him the time he needs. He'll be in touch with you, don't worry. In the meantime, go about your own life and act as if you'll never hear from him again (I don't mean to start dating other men right away), but mentally adjust to the thought that you may need to move on to other options.![]()

@chuckcem
You're the aqua pussy whisperer

Posted by -Flo-Nice, that was just a guess too!Posted by ChuckcemAmazing.. yes to all the bold 🙂Posted by -Flo-Interesting, so you're go with the flow, but possibly a little impulsive and a bit scattered with what you want, would that be a decent guess? Your Aqua and Pisces makes me think you aren't looking to be pinned down, but you are still looking for that special companionship nonetheless. The Gemini Mars and Arie Moon makes me think that you can be pretty chatty with some nervous energy thrown in, so you prefer to stay activePosted by ChuckcemAqua sunPosted by -Flo-Hahaha, fire is easy for us Leo folk. So you're rockin an fire moon, what are the other placements?Posted by ChuckcemWell you know what they say.. opposites attract. Handling this fire isn't easy for most men ?Posted by -Flo-It's funny, I have slowly noticed that I'm surrounded by Aries enerfy. I wouldn't be surprised if I wound up with an Aries Moon woman.Posted by Chuckcem??Posted by -Flo-Hahah, indeed I am and thank you for the Selena Gomez kiss.Posted by ChuckcemSo... are you single?Posted by xo_leoOh this isn't bad. I have no clue what he'll say, but everything looks generally positive. Aquas need need NEED to sort through their feelings. Sometimes they need the thought of you leaving (or for you to actually move on) for those feelings to snap in place. It can be different with each Aqua. Sometimes it's just an honest conversation about your true feelings that gets things moving. Don't worry so much about the silence or downtime right now. You spoken your truth, now let him mull it over.Posted by Chuckcem
As one of the many Leos who has dated (and been confused by an Aqua), you have to understand that as our opposite sign Aquas have a different perspective concerning time than we do. To us 3 weeks is a loooong time, not so much for them.
One of the main characteristics that throws people off is an Aqua's disappearing act. While they may disappear for many reasons, if I had to guess your Aqua is figuring out his feelings for you. Aquas will also disappear if they have NO interest in you or are upset with you. Since he reached back out to you about the concert, I'd guess that there is some interest on his part (and that he's not angry at you).
Aquariuses also spend a lot of time in their heads than their hearts. So he may not readily understand that 3 weeks of silence hurts you. You may just need to let him know, "Hey just a heads up, it makes me feel odd when you stop talking to me out of nowhere. Do me a favor and be mindful of that. Getting back to me in a more reasonable amount of time would make me feel better." Sometimes Aquas need to be calmly informed when their actions are unconventional or hurtful to those around them. Don't get upset, just tell him straight.
THAT all being said, if this Aqua doesn't seem to change his tune and be more mindful of your feelings just let him know, "Hey I enjoy our time together and I also have feelings for you. It doesn't appear that you feel the same way though, so I'm going to start looking for someone who can reciprocate my feelings. If you want something more with me, let me know." Then let him go.

My Gemini mars is in 12th and all my placements are in water/earth houses. So it may seem that I'm a little wild flowy outside but I really crave stability and comfort with passion. Once I set my mind on something I go after it and ride it through. I only talk to those I like but I'm more to myself if anything.click to expand

Posted by xo_leoJust breathe. It's good to start mentally moving on, but don't be surprised if/when he comes back ready to talk. Again Aquas run on their own time, even breaking their OWN schedules. I completely understand that you're annoyed by his behavior. He may even be sorting out his own personal issues at the moment. Do your own thing, but don't be worked up when he finally does contact you. Just be calm, cordial, and let him know what's on your mind.
Well the weekend has pretty much passed and nothing.
I understand if he needs to sort out his feelings, but I find it extremely inconsiderate when I shared my feelings and had no response.
I'm done. I can't respect anyone who doesn't considers people's feelings. (Maybe he does, but thinking about it doesn't do anything).
I wouldn't mind getting rejected, but it would have been nice to know. So now I don't care.
The friendship or whatever it was, is done in my book.
Thank you all for supporting me in thinking through this process, but I deserve someone who considers my feelings (and more) just as much as I am considering this guy's feelings who isn't giving much.
*peace*

Long story short: been friends with my aquarius friend for two years now. We liked each other in the beginning, kissed, tried causal dating, but later on decided to be friends. For the past few months, we've hung out many times with friends and 1:1 settings. We've definitely gotten closer in our friendship. We recently kissed and I thought it was amazing. He said that things have changed from before (not sure what that means) and he said he liked me (granted this was after I told him first).
Here's the thing: we haven't talked in 3 weeks about what happened that night. I gave it a week or so until I reached out to him and asked what his afternoon plans were. That is normal since I tend to ask these questions anyway, and he responded and asked what were mine. I asked him if he wanted to get coffee like we normally do, but he didn't respond at all to my response. That hurt my feelings. Another week passed and no contact, until recently. We planned on going to a concert together waay in advance before we kissed, and he reached out to me saying he was sorry for not responding and asked if I still wanted to go. I said yes and this will happen this Friday!
I wanted to clarify our situation before the concert, but now I have to wait until then. I am definitely going to bring this up, but I don't know how to...I am afraid to get hurt. I just feel his no contact is a bad sign and feel like that night is going to break my heart. What should I do and how should I ask if he likes me or not in a way that won't be so bad...
