Here's the story: Two weeks ago a guy from my high school and I reconnected. We are from the same small town and know each other's families very well. We never dated in high school or even talked like that but we were friends. So Friday evening I was on POF to see what gay messages I got and he showed up as one of the locals so I messaged him joking around like what are you doing on here! Next thing I know we end up hanging out for the entire weekend. He took me out with his buddy and his girlfriend Friday then he stayed at my house. Saturday he invited me to the beach with him and his family so I spent all day with them, Saturday night we spent together and Sunday he took me to a country concert with awesome seats like fifth row. We stayed at his parents house that night then I had to come back to work Monday.

Background: He's currently living out of state, he is a coach for his alma mater. So he travels a lot and isn't a phone guy. He has been engaged twice to two not so great girls from our hometown and was hurt pretty bad so he's been single ever since. He is an old fashioned guy like I'm an old fashioned girl

To go on with my story so he was in NC for his time off on his road trip him and his friend took. Since he has left he has kept in touch with me pretty well considering he isn't into phones. He's said he wants to see me again and he's a really good guy. In our hometown you know which guys are good and bad gotta love a small town. I have noticed he has been a little distant with me on texting and I have noticed he has been online on POf which for me an aries is a pet peeve. I know I need patience and not to overthink anything because I need to go with the flow. So I need advice on what you think about his online habits on POF and just an overall outlook on it all. I'm in no rush but I do care about him and I think a lot of him. It just bothers me when I don't hear from him yet I see him online on POF, just would like some insight!!!!

You aren't together so technically you shouldn't be getting mad at him because he is own POF. Sometimes we still have to keep our options open even if there is some interest, either you haven't caught his full attention yet or maybe he just wants to date around first (which isn't cheating). Sometimes too with the POF app, it'll say you're online when you aren't, I've had that happen to me a whole bunch of times.

Any who seems like you both have better luck on that site then me lol.



Yes I totally agree with technically aren't together, I mean we had a great weekend together and def have chemistry. His location and work isn't ideal that's why we are going with the flow. I just didn't expect to like him how I have. And POF is terrible I never use mine but since seeing him I have seen him on there as being online. I know it's not cheating its just seeing what else is out there. I have that go getter personality which is bad because I want him but I know things have to go slow because of his past.

Yes I know its what I lack is patience but I'm working on it. I do like that he is the one guy that puts me in my place when I need it. Honestly I've met very few that can so that is refreshing. I know distance is hard too but I am willing if it comes to that do it, and I know with his past he's done it before too. We are both good people but have been hurt so trying to be careful. As for the phone with him what do you recommend. He texts me but its either really short or really long but he has a busy schedule too so I don't want to bother him or him think I'm needy

Thank you I will take your advice!! I'm working on the not letting the phone behavior and pof behavior get to me!! In my mind I was just like why is he online but yet he hasn't texted me back that's what was going through my head. I know I just have to be patient and see how things go, this is my first experience with a Leo and lord has he done something to me. I'm very picky when it comes to guys but I can't stop thinking about him its crazy. To get my attention is very hard so I'm like what in the world haha

Did you sleep with him over the course of that weekend?

Take your time. Do not expect more weekends like the one you shared together. Leo's move on. My mom, brother, aunt, uncle, grandfather I could go on and on about the Leo's in my family. Half of my family are full of Leo's, July Leo's I'm in love with, my mom is so cuddly and beautiful but anyways I lived and loved Leo's and although they've had their fair share of disastrous relationships they all seem to bounce back miraculously.

I would caution you to not build things up in your head, if he's on POF then he's still looking and you're just an option right now, of course that could change but don't count on it.

Unless there is an agreement of exclusivity or a commitment of a relationship...the the field is open and you have no right to be upset. I set those rules dating and would tell them, I am not dumb, we have not made any exclusivity in our dating nor have we committed ourselves to a relationship. So, we will do what we do....date. And until either of us make that move for exclusivity or committed relationship...then all is fair game for both of us. It is not guys being guys, there is no "parameters" set on the "relationship" so how do you expect him to conform to your ideal of a "relationship?" Example: Current BF told me straight and to the point (he is a Leo)"Consider yourself off the market. Any other person you are talking to, tell them you are taken. You are my woman now." I looked at him and said as long as you do the same....done deal.

That is the problem with internet dating, women expect to be in a relationship once they meet the person or soon after, even if there is history. But until it is communicated...there is no relationship etc....

You should look elsewhere to be honest. Leos are the last sign capable of LDRs. We need too much attention. We need to be told things like; that's a nice shirt, your hair looks nice, nice car, you are really smart, damn you are sexy, you are very pretty.

We also need an opportunity to impress you whether it is with our knowledge/intellect, personality/social skills or some other area. This is difficult to do via Skype or Facetime.

He is going to stay on POF because as I said in paragraph one, we need attention and what better place to get it than a free online dating site.

As an Aries you are going to do exactly what it is you want to do as well you should but unless he moves to NC or you are moving to where he is, it's not going to work.

Leo men have options, many more options than other men. In fact, even the unattractive ones have options because we are ruled by the Sun and who doesn't love a sunny day.

No, matter, best of luck to you.

Thank you very much for the advice I fully intend to move on. It's not like me to stay around when there's signs like what I'm seeing. I told him to call me and basically going to be honest and move on. Now he's all worried freaking out and texting me nonstop, and called me while at work. I've gotta do what's right for me! You live and you learn!!

It's not a black or white situation. Don't you have other options around to keep you fully engaged besides him? Like guys who wanna date you? Take you out and make you laugh? Focus primarily on building up your social life instead of revolving your hopes and dreams around the Leo.

There may come a time when he isn't going to date or even be looking for other options but it's way too early for him to drop everything for one person.

Leo's have a healthy social life, a health full social circle, they are sunny, fun, and just all around great people to be with which is why you enjoyed being with him. You too should have a healthy social life to lean back on when one guy isn't necessarily on the same page with you which keeps you busy. You avoid focusing too much of your energy on one person and you actually create enough space to pull that one guy you truly want and like back in.

Keep in touch with him. Pace yourself. You don't have to be afraid or worried. Don't be insecure! Hold your head up high like a Queen. Confidence is sexy, it's attractive and can pull a Leo back in. Don't give off too much energy that you are caught up over him, he'll do the work to keep you.

Also, don't silently stalk and watch him online, get off of his profile, hide his profile, doing that can keep you feeling secure and confident instead of anxious over his online behavior. Out of sight out of mind.

I definitely agree with Lioness79, Leo's need attention but not in a needy way though, they command with their beautiful presence, people really can't help but notice a Leo's magnetic personality but they want love too. Their are some losers Leo's out there but nothing you've said indicates he's one of em.

The options aren't an issue with guys where I live. I have a plenty full social life and work schedule that keeps me busy. As for the Leo I'm still talking to him and we said we see each other when we can. In the meantime I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing stay busy and have fun. I do think he is worth it but good things come with time and patience. Him and I have a lot on our plate workwise right now so that has to come first and foremost. I do appreciate the comments and I have taken everyone's advice. As for the online behavior it no longer affects me I was just overthinking it before but things are fine now.

In all my years of life I have learned the hard way that when you start thinking too much you will come up with so many stupid/crazy ideas that aren't true and it causes self sabotage.

Now Those are wise words little Cub! 😉

I'm an Aries and I have no patients either, but I will say this. The only men in this world that I have ever been able to calm that down and find the patients, is with a Leo! GOD I LOVE LEO'S!

They bring such an amazing sunny energy into the room and when they smile their whole face lights up. They are always willing to go along with an Aries sense of adventure and enjoy the ride! 😉

Can anyone tell I'm in love with my Leo! haha

Not all of us are like that. I'm from those who beat their own drum and move forward to the next challenge. Not into receiving admiration and compliments, really. I am what I am and I know what I'm capable of without being praised from the outside. I get what I want from the right people with high quality and that should be enough.

Also, I rely on results, not flattery.

When I speak of Leos, I am usually speaking of the collective majority not the individual minority.

However, good for you. I live for compliments. I use to think it was a self esteem issue external validaation and all. I have since come to realize that it is ok and to not take myself so seriously.

I absolutely love when someone says..you look really pretty today male or female it just tickles my fancy.

Virgo Mercury high five!!!!!

Or is your Mars in Scorpio?

I am Cancer moon with moon on the ascendant and Mars in the fifth. Insincere compliments leave me on high alert.

I have Mercury in Virgo and I never think a compliment is insincere who has the time for that and what is the motive?

A female colleague tells you she likes your new haircut. Do you a) say thank you; b) smile and share the name of your stylist or c) tell her she's insane and that your hair looks like somebody used it to scrub out a gas station toilet.

For many women — including those depicted in a new viral video created by Comedy Central??s Amy Schumer -- the answer is C. As in, can't take a compliment.

—This is soooo true,?? wrote one woman regarding the video which has been watched 800,000 times on YouTube. —I can't remember the last time I simply said thank you after another girl gave me a— compliment. I always throw something negative in there.??

—I wish every woman who's guilty of— this would watch this!?? posted another.

The skit depicts a gaggle of girlfriends tossing out self-loathing remarks every time they receive a compliment. When one woman??s told she's wearing a pretty dress, she replies —I paid like $ 2 for it. It's probably made of old Burger King crowns. I look like a whore locked out of her apartment.?? Schumer herself says she's so fat she —sleeps standing up in a field.??
