Do all Leo—s Clam up?

Everyone here knows my situation pretty much??_ my leo is a wonderful man however very shy with emotions??_ (my nice way of saying commitment issues lol)

If ever we talk about those issues for a while after he becomes so affectionate and sweet, text message during the day wishing me the best day telling me he is proud of me yada yada all that great stuff??_ I respond to this behavior by being full of smiles, tender kisses all that good stuff??_.. after a while he clams up.. could be weeks could be months??_. In my opinion he pulls back cause it gets to close for him

Is this all leo behavior or the behavior of a leo still recovering from a broken heart? I know its been 5 years since he was hurt badly in his last relationship??_. He may never recover and that's ok by me im really just curious if this is a leo trait or a hurt leo trait.

My best friend who is a Leo??_ I have noticed she is the same way in relationships??_

Sounds like a Hurt Leo to me....

How is he when he is physically with you?

Do you guys cuddle when watching tv, does he hold your hand, does he come up and squeeze you, just start kissing you out of the blue?

Happy Birthday!!

ARoarLikeThunder.... with me is with me we do not cuddle he doesnt like to at all.. he will sometimes because he knows its what i like but he will not just reach out to me will not wrap his arms around me or kiss me out of the blue... the very rare occation like im talking once ever few months or so if we are cooking together he will walk past n rub my back.. one day last week when we past each other in the hall he did lean to give me a kiss on the forehead that was odd lol. he doesnt hold my hand maybe once or twice in the past 3 years lol He just isn't the affectionate type said he never has been. HOWEVER when we are intimate he is very attentive, tender, caring.

@Curious

Why thank you : )

@shorty1978

If he has said to you he isn't the affectionate type and never has been, he is probably telling the truth. Yes, Leos are the sign of love and tenderfulness and all things bright and beautiful yada yada, however, everyone is there own person.

He may have made the decision long ago to only reserve his affections for times of love making.
Or perhaps that is the only time he wants to/feels comfortable doing so.

Either way, I'd just accept him the way that he is.

If it is really a problem for you though.. I guess the best tactic might be to use his own libido against him. I mean obviously this could just lead to sex but I guess what I mean is initiate that YOU WANT to be touched. I can't speak for all Leos but I think I can be very fluid at times. By that I mean, my drive is determined by the other person, strangely enough.

I think the more you SHOW that you want him, the more he will want you. (We know he wants you but now take that from a sexual sense to an affectionate sense.)

What I'd like to know is, how much are YOU touching HIM?

Train him by being more aggressive yourself.

BUT you have to start slowly. Don't just grab him in the middle of the street and start kissing. Start slow.

Think of a time when he is chilling alone, maybe he's watching the game and just nestle up to him. Lay your head on his shoulder. You don't have to say anything. Then maybe some other time hold his hand but don't start that in public, do it in private first. Then work up to him doing while you're walking around downtown.

Essentially, just think of what you want him to do, and then "take" it.

If it's a kiss, just look him deeply in the eyes like he's the center of the universe and say "kiss me" in a soft but passionate voice.

I'd imagine at some point he'll get the hint.

You just might have to be the one to "jump start" the engine of his affection, so to speak.

Don't tell him, show him.

I hope it works out for you guys : )

We can be pretty hot and cold with our emotions. We tend to think with our hearts instead of our heads, and sometimes that can get us into trouble. And personally, what I tend to do is distance myself or shut down my feelings, because I'm afraid of getting hurt. Of course it varies on the Leo, but it's pretty common.
