Leo Male Sincere with his Feelings? Super Confused

I'm attracted to a Leo Male with Cancer Moon with Virgo in Mercury and Mars placements. I met him at work and it's been 2 and a half months since we've met. He's a notorious flirt and popular with the women, but confessed to me that I'm his "favorite gal to hang around" and he likes me since we play fight, play video games if work is slow,getting really to know each other, and compliments me all the time. He loves playing with my hair, picks me up on his back, gets me food whenever I feel ill or bad, when we hug...he hugs me for a long time. Anyways, I have a boyfriend who I'm losing feelings for because during 6 months in our 2 years, he was distant and I hate having to keep pushing him to do stuff with me while the Leo was giving me everything I wanted. Though, the Leo knows I'm in a relationship and barely text me(I'm guessing he's backing off til I figure it out). He told me one time that he doesn't text me because he wants to save it for our next meeting. Yesterday I visited him with a friend at work(to see how he was) and he was happy to see me. I texted him if he wants to hang out(as friends since we already confessed) on his last day from work since he's leaving for an intern job and I have yet to get a reply. I can't tell these things and it drives me nuts because he's awesome to be around with. I want to poke at him to get a reply, but that'll make me desperate. I'm an Aries female with Scorpio Moon, Venus in Aries and Mars in Pisces. Any help is appreciated! Leos are fantastic!

Oh, he visits me and brings me food on days off when heading to Austin since it's along the way and recently kissed me on the cheek.

Anytime he says I will come and visit you, HE DID! Most people would tell me this and never come through. He didn't have to come. He informed that if I was single, he would take me on a date in a heartbeat.Now, I had a bestfriend who was a notorious flirt like he was and I don't take everything to truth, which is why I came to this forum for advice. I asked him last week if wants to hang out and gladly says yes. I wanted a validation and he has yet to reply. So yeah, I'm pretty confused. Thank you YellowSubmarine for the advice!

I'm searching for these confessed feelings.
You won't have a doubt about a Leo sun with Cancer moon IF we do confess our feelings. Saying you are a favorite girl is deceptive because that sentiment is only in the present.

With a Virgo Merc, a Leo with Cancer moon will most likely whisper those feelings to you on a quiet, cool day while you are wrapped around each other.

Our lover is never confused. Maybe we drive them a little crazy when we are still wondering how to say the love word, but they know they are important because they are our full focus.

Yellow Submarine knows us well, even though I don't want to admit it.

she is on the money.

^^^ Yeh I agree, yellowsub has a good take on it...

I tell people they're my favorites ALL the time! If you remember my coffee in the morning I text you- you're my fave person.
I just usually qualify that by adding- for today lol

If you really are my fave person in the world good luck gettin' it out of me more than once. Whispered from under my pillow at 3am in the morning while you are fast asleep or something haha
