Hi there everyone, I'm a long time reader and first time poster on the boards. I love you guy's insights and hopefully I can get a solution to my little issue.

I am a Leo female and I met my Aries a few months ago when I was launching my new business. I was coming off of caring for my grandmother and seeing her pass away from a pretty aggressive illness so I am not feeling my best but I am still pushing. He is one of the nicest and funniest guys I have ever met and I just enjoy his company. We spend time with each other when our schedules allow (we are both pretty busy but he takes the cake) and I respect his drive and hustle just like he respects mine. I feel that I have been pretty distant with him, he has been backing off for a few days at a time, keeping an eye on my FB and whatnot (liking my statuses if he hasn't heard from me in a couple of days) and I haven't been my usual punctual self about anything except work and school. Saturday, he got promoted and it was a huge deal for he and I. Saturday rolls around, and my car gives me shit before I even switch freeways and I miss it. I got home, sent him a message telling him I couldn't make it and I haven't heard from him since (except for him to like one of my statuses today on FB) I care about him very much but I feel as though I have let him down quite a bit. I haven't contacted him since I told him because I figured he would be pissed and I know if I was pissed at someone I wouldn't want them in my face. I am not sure if I should just let him be until he cools down or if I should initiate contact again but I hope my screw up doesn't ruin things between us.

Yeah, gotta agree with Miha...the promotion is a big deal and you send a message just saying "you couldn't make it"? Not good. If it was such a big deal, a phone call explaning and apologizing for the unforeseen problem would have been the way to handle the situation. You made him feel unimportant with that message and you hurt his feelings - that's why he backed off. He's hurt and pissed. If he's checking your status on FB than he's not totally checked out, but he's waiting for you to contact him - and not via text, pick up the phone and call!!

I'm an aries female who was married to a leo male for 11 years - operative word is "WAS"...egos too big, we didn't learn how to compromise with putting the other one first at times. Us aries are selfish but we give what we get 10 fold.

Reach out to him - show him you care and you'll get it in return - just keep it honest.

Hey look, another Leo chick who half assed her side of things and is BAFFLED as to why she's run off another man...

Here's the solution to all your problems - quit being inconsiderate and doing inconsiderate things to others. Maybe, just maybe, you'll stop scaring guys off. The indifferent half assed approach would turn anyone off.

I don't blame him for ignoring you. I would to. What a bitchy, inappropriate thing to do for the situation. Texting? Wtf people? There's a fricken time and a place for texting.

You do NOT say goodbye via text (another Leo female here did this).

You do NOT say you cannot make it when the situation deserves more of an explanation than that. It makes you look like you don't give a fuck. Which you don't. You're just upset he's not chasing you anymore. It's now just a challenge to conquer, isn't it?

I too agree. My best friend is Aries, and he is very sensitive when it comes to flaking or putting other people first (though he will never tell you). I made the mistake of doing that once, and I called to apologize, I sent him a text and I told him in person. He was distant for a few weeks. It's been a month, and we are finally back to normal. I had to earn his trust back, not just with words, but with my actions.



Bingo!!!

He is still watching, and waiting. We Aries types can be incredibly forgiving, but we need to have trust first. And as rachel says, your actions will speak much louder than words. Be honest, be sincere, and just a little bit patient.

Sorry folks, had school this week. I am transferring my cell phone over to a new provider because of my work so I could not call. He was aware of the phone issue before the fact, so that rules out me being an insensitive social retard. Also, I did explain to him what happened and he knew that I wouldn't miss his promotion except for an extenuating circumstance such as my car careening off of an overpass. Getting in a cab and going from my house to the promotion would have cost me $ 130 one way. That unfortunately is $ 260 dollars a starting business owner and a full time college student does not have. I should have expounded but I know how I feel when I have to read a bunch of useless details in a lot of these boards. So got anymore questions?

Hi there Love,

My car was shaking on the overpass it didn't flip over. I was just joking around in spite of it. He and I talked about what happened and he apologized. I like the guy a lot and for me, I usually don't believe in doing half measures for people I care about, and normally I would call if something happened unfortunately I picked a great time to switch over my phones. We are good now, just a bit distant with all the work and school things going on. I really should have gone in more detail but I know that I go into the tl;dr category when I see like two or three boxes of text. I'm tickled that I got the flaming got. lol
