Is this leo man being egoistic or does he actually not care?

So we've known each other for a year. Then I moved away. We stayed in contact every single day. A few months ago with great difficulty, he confessed he likes me. Then he acted all cool about it. Then he confessed again. And once again acted like it never happened. But apart from that he's wonderful.. he's kind, caring, supportive, always there, always helpful. He tells me things he's never told anyone. A week or so ago I had to visit the place he lives and he met me and was so loving and caring. And we got slightly intimate. Just hugging and a few kisses . It all seemed so real. But now my leo's acting distant again. I have a feeling any time he shows a shred of emotion he has to act strange for a while. Which makes me question my sanity sometimes. Is he acting egoistic or does he just not like me?

I'm an Aries. Not knowing is driving me nuts.

What are his placements?

It can be hard for Leos to confess our deepest emotions, especially if we're falling for someone. We like to KNOW that the other person is on the same page (or is falling for us even harder than we are for them). There's a certain vulnerability that comes with revealing our feelings that we aren't thrilled with exposing. That being said, we are also a passionate sign that will take risks for those we care about. The most awkward moment for a Leo is when we confess our feelings for the first time. We can get blinded by emotion in the moment, so he probably backed off to compose himself.

Also remember as an Aries you want things to move faster than most. Leos can be pretty quick, but there are times we may need to mull things over. This is one of those times. Let him come to you. Since I don't know much about this man, I have no idea if he may have any emotional issues as well. Be kind to him and if his distant behavior persists too long, call him out on it. Sometimes we just need a little push to snap us out of our silly fearful state.
