Hi all,

I am in a long distance relationship of only a few months with a Leo male.
I have a very good male friend (who is also long distance now... due to work), he is my BFF!! I love him only as a friend.
I have told Leo about my male BFF since the beginning, and how he is a wonderful friend. He said he is fine with it.
Lately, I have been dealing with a lot of issues, and with Leo being very busy and hardly online, I turn to my BFF. As a result, BFF is usually the one who console me and when I talk to Leo, he would hear how BFF helped me.

A few days ago, Leo said he wanted to thank BFF for taking his time to help me, he is a really nice guy, he really like him, and how he left me for him (not trying to steal me away). I replied back in agreement that BFF is a realllly nice guy, confirming that my heart is with Leo, BFF knows where he stands in my heart, I would be happy if they would meet someday so we could all be friends, and I am so glad that he is ok with the fact I have a very good guy friend. (Who also happens to be tall, fit, handsome, makes LOTS of money, generous, kind, we have very good chemistry and can talk for HOURS! Of course I didn't tell Leo that! 😉 But Leo knew BFF wasn't bad looking because we almost dated years ago! (Yes, Leo knew about that)

However, another sad event happened to me this weekend, realllly needed someone to talk... as usual BFF came to the rescue.
This morning, I got a short email from Leo telling me not to be too upset, etc. I emailed back telling him I am doing much better after chatting for awhile with BFF and filled him with the issue... it was a rather long and sad email filled with frustration and anguish on issues I am currently dealing with life...
The rest of the day and night have gone by, but without a word from him... make me feel as if he is a little insensitive to my issues and feelings... would he be jealous of BFF? Or feel inferior to BFF?

Leo Male or Leo Female, how would you feel if your bf/gf have a wonderful best friend of an opposite sex? Or, maybe Leo just doesn't like to hear about negative things? Or, maybe Leo is having one of those hot and cold episodes again?

Thanks for reading and looking forward to your responses! 🙂

Leo woman here
no problems with having friends of opposite sex, i think other leos would agree with me that we do not like spoiling others' fun and friendships.
about listening to negative stuff---again no problem, but if it seems that same thing is being said again and again and any response or positive feedback given by us is not taken,then it can be a bit of damper.

Just asking--how did you manage to find a person who earns a lot, works out to stay in shape and yet find time to talk for "HOURS".
in my whole life spanning 21 years and 7 months, i have never seen such a man who is all that above and yet free to talk for "HOURS".

Hi ShahBano,
Thanks for your reply!
Good to know your insight as a Leo woman. I often worry about Leo's ego and how it take part in a relationship. It is also hard to gauge what he is feeling/interest level when sometimes he can be silent for awhile for no reason.. especially hard when the relationship is long distant! However, when he does send a note, he is warm like the sun! 🙂 Which makes me wonder if he is cheating on me too... although he ensure me that he is a one person at a time kinda guy.. but me being a Scorpio, remain sceptical...
In response to your question about BFF,
BFF has a high salary full time job that demand A LOT of travelling to many cities, residing in each for something between a week to a few months (not as fun as it sounds), but he has his evenings and weekends free. While he is away, we would chat online while he is at work, in the evenings, and weekends. Our online conversations are often with little pauses and flow just naturally. When he is in town (a few times a year), we would get together, hang out at his rented furnish suite and go fine dining. Conversations would just flow all night, lots of fun! I almost wish he was gay sometimes!🙂 He is a very charming man, a fantastic catch IF you can put up with your significant other being HARDLY there physically!

i know i'm a scorp but i would be very cynical about this BFF. there are undertones in how you speak about him that aren't present when you talk about the leo. it would piss me off to be honest. it doesn't really matter about his sun sign. i've got 4 brothers and naturally get on well with men and so have alot of male friends(notably leos, lol) which does piss off new guys i have a romantic interest in until they know what the score is (most of my male friends are not single and i know their partners).

my ex-husband had 3 really really great friends who were women, he was very close to them. I didn't mind, they were there before i was and one is still in the aftermath, i kept one as we became very good friends and the other died unfortunately 😢 I knew I was his first port of call for anything major, as he was mine. If that hadn't been the case I may have had a different reaction, in fact I'm pretty sure I would, as it would have meant I wasn't the most important person to him - then there would have been war 🙂

As a leo it doesn't bother me that the man I am with would be close to other women, I wouldn't be with him if I didn't trust him so even if it was a woman who was into him it would be fine, in fact I'd probably be a bit smug about that as my trust would be enough that the man I am with wouldn't be with someone else and I had a man that someone else wanted, how horrible of me. Its never happened to me yet so perhaps my opinion would change if i was ever cheated on.

I'm kindof seconding this. You do speak glowingly of the other man.

Thanks for all of your comments! 🙂

I speak glowingly of my BFF because he is my BFF who I've known for years, share a deep friendship and been there for me when I need it most. again and again. Even offered a shoulder to cry on when I needed it.
My Leo is amazing too! Very handsome and incredibly intelligent! But I have only known him for a few months, so still very new.

I can't help but find the fact that you're still noting your Leo at the end with more of an 'afterthought' effect a bit unsettling. Are you entirely sure you're wanting to be with him or is it convenient?

lol... yes! I want to be with my Leo, or else I wouldn't have posted a question! Instead, I wonder if he wants to be with me as much as I want to be with him!

They are both inconvenient because they are both away. Leo not as far as BFF, but still is away.

Leo wrote back tonight, again expressing his thank and appreciation to BFF's help and kindness, he felt badly because BFF is such a good friend and he is such a bad bf who couldn't be there when i needed it most. Although he feels badly, he is still happy that BFF can fill in on where he falls short. We spoke about why BFF and I never hook up, I explained everything and said if he would ever make me choose between him or BFF, I would choose him even if there are years of friendship. Leo said he would never put me in this position, and he is fine with me visiting BFF because he trusts me. (my leo is so sweet! 🙂)
I was actually happy

I was actually happy to know Leo felt badly, because it shows that he cares. But if he cares, I can't understand why he would often go silent for a days without any reason. I know he is very busy, but if he claims to like me so much, why can't he spare a few minutes of his day to write a short note just to say Hi? My Scorpio sense can't help but think that he might be serial dating, or he just simply don't like me enough! Is it natural for the Leo kind to just disappear without a word and come back as if nothing is wrong? This bothers me... and I spoke about it one day. For 3 days afterwards, he did write a short 1 to 2 sentences note each day, but after he stopped, I didn't want to seem like a nag to bring it up again. Back to the same old disappearing act!

It has nothing to do with his being a Leo; i think it's the way most men process things emotionally and mentally. they do like their distance and space, let them have it, they deserve it.As far as my knowledge is concerned men are inherently different from women.why try to emasculate them by turning them into a ninny.
would you like a blabbering,soppy and clingy man ? and more important would you respect him ?
besides who wants a 24 hrs communication ? no man can go through this torture, and if you value him than you must not put him through it.he had told you he likes you and if you trust what he says than does he have to serenade down your window every second night?

Hey, not knocking your feelings for your BFF, mine is also a Male - but he doesn't even figure in the equation when I am talking about the man I would be currently dating and he certainly isn't any comparison to them because he is my friend so there is nothing to compare regardless of how close we are - and that seems to be what you are doing, comparing and the end result appears to be what we can see written here.

Scorpio/Leo - should have guessed - har har har. Sorry only joking, I have my own take on that whole "relationship" 🙂 Your scorpio paranoia is kicking in, no easier way to lose a leo than use the paranoia on them, whether its deserved or not. Try to stop worrying about this, you are early days into your relationship with the Leo and its long distance so its even more difficult to judge. At a distance yes Leo's can disappear into their busy busy lives and not contact you for a few days - in fact you could even be completly out of their minds for that length of time - selfish maybe - not being in your physical prescence could do that, it doesn't mean he is off dating others but leo's (and I think scorpios) need to be near (not necessarily beside) their partners, I'm not sure long distance works for either one. Is there a chance of this changing anytime soon.

i'm ruminating on this at the moment. here's one thing leo's are good at - seeing the big picture, instantly, no need for much thought or analysis. I'm kindof suspecting that your leo is seeing things about your relationship with bff that you are not aware of, and he may well be pushing you into saying something, by the way he is telling you how "nice" your bff is, how he wants to "thank him" for being there for you - i'm sensing a leo "do you think I'm stupid" moment. If my partner was like this with a girlfriend they are the kind of things i'd be saying, with a "fuck you lets see what you do with that" thought in the back of my head. If your leo even gets a sniff of what you feel for your bff and that you judge him based on a friendship he will not be a happy cat.

I'm also just wondering, if your BFF was a female would you be comparing your new boyfriend to her. Friends are supposed to be there to lean on and laugh and cry with, not to compare to your new man and it wouldn't even be a factor if your BFF wasn't a male. As i said mine is also, but never in a million years does any potentials or currents actions get afflicted with having to live up to my best friend. Friends and lovers are different.

When most Leos do this they're either genuinely busy or in 'rest' mode and recharging.

It's odd you say this because those traits are more akin to a Scorpio rather than a Leo.

but when you keep on harping about the " tall, handsome ,fit ( for what ?) BFF who earns a lot and still have "HOURS" to chat", that means it's at least not the poor boyfirend who matters.
I still can't get over the fact of "HOURS" long chats. It must be some psychological tick with me !

Well, this Leo is fundamentally different from your Leo. If my girlfriend went to others with her problems I'd have major issues with it. Especially if her BFF was a guy! To me a relationship is like being best friends. If we're not, then we might as well just be FWB as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, friends and girlfriends have always confided in me so I never had that problem. I dunno, maybe it's my Cancer moon. Leos alone may be warm people but they are not necesserily the best listeners I guess.

Oh and I'm very possessive so any male BFF's are better kept at safe distance. 😉

Absolutely, having other sex friends, even best ones, in absolutely fine - but please give me the respect of being the one you confide everything in otherwise my pride will be rocked - if you're doing that with someone else especially one who is my gender then we are not were I thought we were - however, if I suspect this and could be bothered, I might just play with you for a while. I'm suspecting this leo would not be happy to learn of the depth of this friendship as it pertains to him and the comparisons being made about him as a boyfriend.

I'm cancer moon too - yay to the emotions 🙂

I agree that Scorpios are notorious for disappearing without a word and reappearing after a few days or months(or in some cases never). However, we usually do it to people who in some ways annoyed us, offended us, or just generally mean so little to us that it won't even occur to us to give them a second of our time. If that person is someone who is special to us, we remain a loyal, trusting friend who is forever happy to be in contact with and love the attention. If that person is a lover, we can indeed be possessive and need to know for a fact that the feelings are real. This is why I can't quite gauge Leo's interest too when he keeps disappearing and reappearing on me... I feel like I am always the one trying to be in contact with him and he is indifferent with keeping in touch with me.

@ celticlioness
My leo will come visit me in late May (super excited!). If my life plans work out the way I intended to, we would become closer (still away, but a lot closer) by the end of Summer. I am hoping things would improve then.
Because to be honest, I hate that I can't turn to my Leo for advice and support. In fact, I would LOVE it if he is the one to help me instead of BFF. Just that he always go silent for a few days makes me feel like I can't talk to him.
My Leo is born on July 23, what does that say about his emotions? Is he also a cancer moon? I have no clue about the birth chart stuff.

Today, I sent Leo an email apologizing for being insensitive and have made him feel badly. I told him that I appreciate the fact that he wants to be the one to help me even when he isn't able to. I told him that if I was in his position, I would also feel badly, feel as if I was in a tough position, and would be hella jealous (a major Scorpio trait). So for that reason, I will cut down my communication with BFF and will tell him first and will wait for his responses before I tell anyone else if I have any more issues, even if that mean bombing his inbox! lol... By the way, how do the Leo kind think about that? Do you guys like it or hate it when your significant other send you multiple emails like 2-3 a day? Did I make the right move? Since I remember reading that Leo does not respect a push over?

I'm July 24, cancer moon but that doesn't mean he is, it depends on his birth year - what is it?

It's great that he is coming to see you and that you should be closer soon - this will do the both of you good, leo's and scorpios need close but not smothering. His going silent probably means that he is tied up with stuff, work and things.

First things first, don't apologise so much, you have nothing to be sorry to him about - he may see weakness in this also. Think of him as a man first and a leo second. The appreciation, yes give him that, we do love to be appreciated as leos' but men themselves like to feel appreciated. If you weren't telling Leo the problems first then you weren't giving him the chance to help first, even if his help would be slower to come than BFF and maybe then when you talked to Leo you let him know that BFF had already stepped up? not good. Don't bomb his inbox, just tell him and leave him to come to you. I'd hate it if kept on getting the messages about the problem, one will do. When i get a message from my guy and I am busy I will reply to him as I couldn't bear to think of him sitting waiting (not that they do, men don't do what we women do) so I would shoot him off a quick reply just so he knows i'm not ignoring him - but I would know I could see him or have time for him later when I'd talk/write about the problem. If I had time I'd go to the ends of the earth trying to help and find a solution. This of course could be confusing - one day a short reply another day all stops pulled out 🙂 but it really is just down to what time I have at that moment to dedicate to him. But regardless of the time limits he and his problem would be in my mind. Try to tone down on any intensity and jealousy that you have, long distance relationships must be difficult enough without fueling this via yet to be justified thoughts that are playing in your head.

My leo will come visit me in late May (super excited!). If my life plans work out the way I intended to, we would become closer (still away, but a lot closer) by the end of Summer. I am hoping things would improve then.
Because to be honest, I hate that I can't turn to my Leo for advice and support. In fact, I would LOVE it if he is the one to help me instead of BFF. Just that he always go silent for a few days makes me feel like I can't talk to him.
My Leo is born on July 23, what does that say about his emotions? Is he also a cancer moon? I have no clue about the birth chart stuff.





I'm July 24, cancer moon but that doesn't mean he is, it depends on his birth year - what is it?

It's great that he is coming to see you and that you should be closer soon - this will do the both of you good, leo's and scorpios need close but not smothering. His going silent probably means that he is tied up with stuff, work and things.

His birth year is 1978. If you guys can tell me more about his characteristics and how I should approach this relationship would be great! I have never dated a Leo before and I just feel that they are really spectacular people! I really don't want to mess this one up! 🙂

hehehe... thanks celticlioness!
As you can tell, I do not have a clue about birth chart! I am a horoscope newbie!
He was born in New York. So, July 23, 1978 in New York, NY, USA.
Please let me know if you need any other info! 🙂

This is why I can't quite gauge Leo's interest too when he keeps disappearing and reappearing on me... I feel like I am always the one trying to be in contact with him and he is indifferent with keeping in touch with me.





Missed this part, an important part, probably the most important - back to him being a man and not a leo 🙂 If this is how you feel then lean back and see if he starts making an effort with the contact, if you are doing all the work then he has nothing to work for - this is where your starting point should be - if your going through stuff and need a friends help then reach out to your friends - just don't relay it all to the Leo. Let him start to work for you - his prize, if he does all else will fall into place.

But don't Leo like attention? When I lean back and stop contacting him, would he simply take it as I have lost interest and he isn't getting the attention he is craving for?

Going on your info then he is a Leo/Cancer cusp, moon in Pisces, venus and mars in Virgo. Now i'm not great at this stuff, there are a few on this site who are. The best thing you could do now is google these placements and have a read on what they say. You should also do your own birth chart and then use some of the compatibility sites to see how your moons, mars and venus go together. www.cafeastrology.com is a good site.

His pisces moon would make him very romantic with feelings of deep love, would like a strong woman but not pushy as this could scare him away - he's a gentler sort of folk so no bold moves, soft friendship 🙂 Pisces moon react to the people around them, so perhaps a long distance isn't good for him as he can't react to you.

Mars in virgo would make him slower in the love stakes - his intimacy will come over time and needs a secure relationship.

His sun is more in cancer than leo.

When you are looking at your compatibility you should look at both your moons and your venus versus his mars. If you have birth times this will give more insight into your personalities.

We like attention from the people we love and respect yes. But what you have to do is look on him as a man - if you are doing all the work he is not, they like to work for what they want, they like what they want to be worth working for.

Also, you can indeed take attention away from a Leo - we will then wonder what the fuck happened and go seek you out - we are chasers at the bottom of it all 🙂

and just another point on this, if you stop contacting him and he decides you may have lost interst so backs off - well then he wasn't that interested in the first place, and then you will know. It may be hard, but do you really want to be the one putting the work into it all of the time?

My Leo called me on the phone tonight to tell me I shouldn't feel bad or feel that I had to apologize about my BFF. He said although he would want to be the one helping me, BFF is doing us a service for helping me when he can't. He said he is not jealous because I have openly told him about BFF and I have made it clear that I wish to be with him so he will trust me and will be happy for me that I have a good friend. I said I am strong enough to handle things on my own so if he is bothered by it, I don't need to reach out to my BFF because I never want to make him sad.(I am falling head so over heels for my Leo!!! The Leo kind is just wonderful people! 🙂 )

Thanks for the advice celticlioness! You have been a great help! 🙂 I am not going to be the one to contact him first any more unless it is something important! It will be hard but it must be done in order to know how much he is into me. (In previous relationships, I am pretty good at not contacting, as Scorpios can be pretty snobby at times... but with my Leo, he turned my brain and heart into jello! Its like I lost all logical thinking and become a dating newbie again!)

Hm, that is just wrong on so many levels. Is he gonna start servicing you in bed too once the Leo is unable to attend. Ouch.

@ capcsw

I am not in crisis mode whenever I talk to him and indeed do not give him a blow by blow on how I talk with bff. I just mention about don't worry about helping me on certain matters because I have already dealt with it, or I'm not upset anymore because I already spoke about it. I guess he felt bad because he felt like it was his job to help me. I only talk about BFF when he asks details about him, then I would tell. Whenever I talk to him, I am always HAPPY! I'm HAPPY that I got a hold of him, but it always brief with many pauses... An in-depth conversation would be far, few and in between... it is especially hard when we are in a long distance relationship. Sometimes I feel as if we have nothing to talk about.. When I ask how he is, and how his day is, he would always reply with, "it was very busy, I'm tired" and thats it. To avoid silences or to miss the chance that i finally got a hold of him, i would talk about the first thing that comes to my head as a desperate attempt to fill the space... and to get him talking too... at least for the next 5 minutes.

The more I think about it, thanks for pointing it out to me, you are right about the wanting attention from one of these men (Leo first then BFF, but I am Leo's girlfriend, long distance for only a short 3 months... so of course I want his attention, some kinda assurance that I am apart of his life!) But I am also growing tired of feeling I am constantly chasing after his tail... Always sitting pretty and available waiting for his return... I think it is about time he makes a little more effort too if he cares enough... Maybe I just have to accept that he just doesn't like me enough. I don't want to be annoying, so if he need the space, he should take all the space and time he wants. It is hard but I am not contacting him any more... at least not the first person to contact him. 😢
