Posted by wagtailWhat you say does make sense, dear wagtail! Having read a lot of other posts/replies from you, I was waiting for your answer. Yep, I feel as though he truly loves me, but he's not commitment-ready!
This is one of my fave pairings - depending on other planetary aspects.
Personally, I feel it's a strong and true connection... However, with no experience of LDR I can't really advise specifically sorreh.
Hopefully someone can come along and dissect a little moah for you 😎
Just FYI tho, a cap generally says what they mean and mean what they say. 'Commitmentphobe' has been said, I would take it seriously and consider investing my time and energy elsewhere until he actually said the words 'commitment ready'

Posted by InLoveWithLifeI just feel that in this particular pairing (the feminine Leo and the masculine Cap) It's an opportunity for the man to really step up and do the pursuing, something a Cap really does well! Even if it seems a bit slow and steady!Posted by wagtailWhat you say does make sense, dear wagtail! Having read a lot of other posts/replies from you, I was waiting for your answer.

Lol, it's so difficult to stop thinking of him! I'll try to divert myself as much as I can. But then, sigh, he'll sense that and be back with his innocent face! To add to the confusion, I've invited him to come over on my birthday (21-Aug) and he's agreed. Wonder what will happen then.
Thanks a ton for your response, buddy! 🙂

Posted by wagtailLol! When I discuss it with like-minded people, I feel much better! Thanks for the response, dear friend. I'll just maintain a distance, give him some time and see where this goes. If he expresses his willingness to commit, it's a win-win; if not, I'll at least get to move outta the confusing situation and be free! 😄Posted by InLoveWithLifeI just feel that in this particular pairing (the feminine Leo and the masculine Cap) It's an opportunity for the man to really step up and do the pursuing, something a Cap really does well!

this works for both because his masculine energy really isn't shy about going for what he wants and Leo women can be so receptive to men who act like men traditionally do!
So when it works it really works, but only if he is the sole or most aggressive initiator - in this case - not because we don't know exactly what we want as well, but because if he doesn't want the same thing it will never happen between these two.
It's a rare case of Leo only getting what she wants if he wants it too lol 😆
Anyway it's always a case by case basis, so hopefully you'll get some other perspectives- I could be completely off baseclick to expand
Posted by ladylibra21Lol! I wonder if we'll make it to the book of successes or if we'll make another 'goofed-it-up' pair! 😉

Posted by ForeverlovemeYes that's true. I just think if the cap is acting distant in a long distance relationship, that's too much of a challenge for me.

2. We Leos make friends with anyone easily and we love to tease them! Yep, we're playful, fun loving, and love making fun of our friends. We don't mind being teased back, in fact we love it, as long as one doesn't cross the limits.
3. By now, you must have also made out that we're great at bragging, just like how we top in all other activities, too.
Now tell me, who's the best? 😉 😛
CAPRICORN *cough* 😛click to expand
Posted by ForeverlovemeYou think he cares for me a lot? Well, same here. I care for him so much too, and that makes deciding things more complicated, if you understand what I mean. Well, thanks for speaking up for him, he's so tight-lipped that I really worry if there's something else that's worrying him and wish I could be there by his side. Hmm... Now how will I know if he loves me or not? I feel like a blank page on which drunken emotions scribble their signatures! Thanks a ton for your help. Much appreciated. If there's anything I can do for you sometime (except saying that Capricorns are the best because Leos don't lie 😛 ), please lemme know. Cheers! 😄
Does he love you? I can't answer that with certainty.
I can tell you, him writing you poetry means your on his mind & as you already mentioned is a good sign.
What stood out to me from your post was when you went for the wedding & plans changed he still made time for. It wasn't as much as planned, however he still showed up.
Imo he cares for you a great deal. I think he might feel that you're pushing him a little bit, that's why he'll disappear the next day & some of the reluctance you mentioned. We like to move at our own pace.
He probably doesn't like arguing & wants to see you happy, that will cause some of us to shut down as well because it's kinda like what is the point (damned if we do, damned if we don't)
The leo I have experience with was very nice, I just didn't see the long-term relationship potential.
Posted by Foreverloveme
It means you both are in your feelings and playing games. Neither of you want to be hurt. If I block a person & unblock them it's only because I have feelings for them, no other reason. We can ice people out with the best of them & ignore someone completely no problem.
This is why I say watch the actions. If someone tells me they're done & comes back, I take that as a sealed deal & I stop causing problems & doubting, they had the opportunity to leave & chose not to (that's just my twisted mentality so take it however you want)
Do you think a change in approach might help, like instead of fighting being more supportive as you mentioned?

Leo seeing a cappy
You both have to " break " your walls , it's a two way street.
It's not an easy match....will it ever be....maybe in time
If you want this guy, you'll have to work on your patience
you'll have to be content with what he's given you so far
you're fire, he's not, he's practical ...
the cycle you speak of...it's challenging...when it happens. ..it's your "me" time
let him be, he's not doing it to hurt you, focus on you
lionesses are usually independent anyway
Not the easiest match but speaking for myself it has been the most rewarding & genuine
They're no nonsense & have loyal hearts
You'll have to value actions instead of words ....words are easy anyway
Don't believe the stereotypical bs when caps love you they make it known
they'll apologize & they won't let you go.
Otherwise find yourself an aries....or a leo ?
Posted by ForeverlovemePosted by InLoveWithLifeWell you might be further along than you think lol
Thank you, ForeverLoveMe, that's what I'm trying to do. (It's just that both of us have been in what we call failed relationships in the past, so trust comes along with the doubt bros and sisses!) These sites online confuse me - if he loves you, he'll make you a priority (I don't even seem to be on the list!), if a Cap loves you really, they'll open up to you (he hasn't...), once they say they love you, you can be sure (but this fellow is confusing, sometimes, he calls it off after some misunderstanding)!!! But I'd still like to think and believe that he loves me. I will try to be strong, dear, and imagine things are fine for a set period.
Lol, easier said than done, as I think of him so often! Thanks a ton for being there! 🙂
It took me 6 months to tell my long distance crush I love him, I felt it sooner. I didn't tell him until I could no longer handle keeping it bottled in.
Priority yes meaning he makes time for you. Not necessarily that he will drop everything he's doing for you.
I open up when I'm comfortable. The arguing isn't helping with the situation of getting him to open up. It does the opposite because he feels he has to put walls back up to protect himself. The more you argue, the more he'll pretend to not care & just shut down & get distant.
In early stages I call things off too, 1) it sets boundaries, respect them or I'm out. 2) defense mechanism I know what I want & if we're not on the same page then why waste each others time, it's not worth arguing over I'd rather just leave

Posted by pinkbird03Good question, dear! I don't understand that either! With their silent-most-of-the-time nature in relationships, mixed signals, and hot-and-cold behaviour, how are we ladies supposed to know what they really feel?
@foreverloveme
She brings up a good point about caps being loyal. But how do you know when he's reached that level? Is it before or after he's in a committed relationship?
Posted by ButtWipeThanks for reading the post and leaving comments.Posted by rockyroadicecreamI like that slang you just used.
Oh gawd.
click to expand

Posted by ForeverlovemeYes see I'm okay with not talking to mine every day now because I know he likes me and it doesn't bother me. We talk 4-5 times a week. Plus, hes gotten a bit better with texting me more when we do talk. (I complained to everyone about this awhile ago)
A lot of people are looking for consistent communication which is fine. My personal thing is if he continues to come around. That could mean everyday, every other day, once a week...you ladies have to determine what you're willing to accept & tolerate.
If it isn't something you like & you've addressed it & see no changes then leave.
Pinkbird03 seems to have the most stability with her cap
We're pretty direct & he should be telling you either with words or actions what he wants, we just have to listen closely.
Also varies depending on which stage of life he's at.

Posted by InLoveWithLifeYea, Well one thing I said to mine that I think made the biggest difference is, "I don't trust you. Can I trust you? (Yes) I still don't trust you" I didn't say anything else. I think that affected him the most because they know trust is extremely important in a relationship and I do believe they want to be good boyfriends. I definitely saw changes from this.Posted by pinkbird03Good question, dear! I don't understand that either!

And if we confront them, even politely, they find the easiest/safest answer, or give some vague answer and disappear! Phew! Being a straight forward, honest person, I find it very difficult to deal with this kind of behaviour! Ups and downs!click to expand

Posted by InLoveWithLifeWhy are you so worried about him being in love with you? That word seems very important to you.
Pinkbird03, I haven't said exactly that (because hurting someone can hurt me even more!) But I've explained to him that I feel bad when he plays on and off. The problem is always this - he comes really close and says or does the sweetest things (without me having to ask for it) and when I'm convinced he's the one, he vanishes; and after days or weeks or no contact (the longest being 12 days, while he would communicate with others and have time for books, TV shows, newspapers and drinks), when I convince myself to walk away from him as he'd continuously ignore my texts or give 'hmm', 'okay' replies, he'll pop right up and do things that I like! Lol!
Recently, he's responding better, like more frequently and not ignoring my texts for days, but now I've come to doubt whether it is because of love, or simply because of respect (I give him respect and make sure I get the respect I deserve, or I'll go cold for days, n he'd be hurt)!

Posted by pinkbird03Yes, dear. After 6 months or so, he's slowly moved from ignoring my texts to responding better. But they seem like cold responses and I'm made to wonder if he's doing all this just to return the respect and for courtesy's sake! Lol, maybe I should hire a mediator! Even if I did hire one, that person might die moving back and forth between two polar opposites - Leo and Cap! 😛Posted by ForeverlovemeYes see I'm okay with not talking to mine every day now because I know he likes me and it doesn't bother me.

Posted by leowwwHe has said ily twice or thrice. When we meet personally, he's all sweet. But while chatting, I'm made to feel like a stranger half the time!
@inlovewithlife
But you know how he feels... He's told you he loves you.
There's a difference between doubt and not being told ily enough.
Now if you have reasons to doubt how he feels that's another story.
Posted by RumiLSweetheart! I don't know you, and I don't know about our Venus, Mars, Moon stuff either! But a sweet or positive reply is any day sweet. Thank you for your time. 🙂
IDK about LDR but my Leo cousin is married to a Cap! They are so cute together.. so much in love 🙂
But, sis is cancer moon/Virgo venus/Taurus mars
Bro-in-law is Virgo moon.. forgot his venus/mars ..sorry : D

Posted by InLoveWithLifeI think he wants to wait until the weekend to give you a well thought out answer. I think you should wait to hear what he says before you end it.
Dear Foreverloveme, Pinkbird03, and Leowww, here's what happened!
Feeling more confident after talking to you sweet ladies and another good friend (who's always been insisting that I give him some time, but also make sure that he knows that I will leave if he won't commit), I pinged him this morning telling him what I genuinely felt for him - "I missed you a couple of days ago", "no matter how many times we fight, tell yourself that we love each other", and such. He did respond, yeah, the usual emotionless, bland responses.
My friends always insisted on confronting him and getting certain things clear before proceeding further because being in the grey zone was sickening for me. So I also asked him some questions - "Please be honest. Honest answers won't hurt me; it's hiding the truth that hurts me. Do you see a future for this relationship? Will your parents agree? Apart from our differences, are there any outside factors that worry you? Above all, do you want to be with me in future?"
(He's said 'I love you' twice, made some really sweet gestures when we met; implied that he loves me in many subtle ways; but both of us have also decided to end this a few times. Even if we got back, I was always in the grey zone area most of the time. He's not straight forward and open like me.)
Today he asked me, "can I respond to your questions over the weekend?" (Dragging things and saying 'busy' is another one of his profound talents)
So I said, "okay, sooner the better".
To which he said, "I have previously suggested that we end it." (At this point, I got furious because he NEVER gives a clear yes or no; even if he says something, his actions would contradict that!)
So I said, "Because you're mentioning that again, I'll take 'no' as your final answer. Cheers! All the best!"
If he doesn't want to commit, he should say a firm 'No'. If he is willing to stay, he should say a strong 'yes'. Why always diplomatic, vague, and confusing—
I bet he'll come back and cycles will continue! Ladies, I'm SICK!!! I don't want to hurt him even a little, but at the same time, I can't put up with all this waiting in the grey area like an option!
What should I do? Please help me!

Dear, he doesn't share anything about his future plans, career, job, etc. with me. So I don't how confident he feels about himself and if he's convinced with his progress. So I don't know. I have to always make assumptions and that drives me crazy, sweetheart! Hope you understand.
Sounds like he's still figuring himself out

Earth and fire just needs to have the right balance without astrology play. It will be harder for easy for earth to befriend fire. They are magnetic together, as far as compromise and support it has to a right mix.
