Here is Sun: Leo

Moon: Gemini

Mercury: Virgo

Venus: Virgo

Mars: Virgo

I recently met this Leo Man on a dating app. He actually liked my profile and when I clicked/read his it said that if anyone is interested in him they’d have to message him first. I thought he was very attractive – so I did. Then I didn’t hear anything for a few weeks (and he hadn’t read the message) so I forgot about it. So I was surprised when I saw a message from him in my inbox last weekend. We began chatting and he offered his phone number and asked if I wanted to text. I agreed.

We began texting, and I found out that he travels for work, so he was on the road, and he was texting me in between breaks. He wasn’t in the city/state that we both live in. We made small talk and he told me to send him a recent picture. I thought this was odd (and I try to be cautious) so I didn’t respond. Why would he need another picture of me when there were plenty on my profile. Anyways, I didn’t respond and a few hours later he texted me and asked if I was still there, and we kept texting.

The next day I texted him and asked how his travels were and we exchanged a few messages. Then the following morning he texted me telling me he hoped I had a great day and he sent me a picture of where he was. Then the next day, I texted him, he seemed tired but he was pleasant.

We haven’t texted each other for the last 2 days. I think if he’s interested he should make plans to actually go out. Although, I do know he isn’t in town. But still. Is this Leo guy actually interested? Or should I just forget about it since he doesn’t seem to be a great texter?

You reject his advances, gave him the silent treament and wonder why you don't get the interested vibes from him.

He wants to know if you're really interested in him before he pursues. They like to feel that they have your attention and they'll pick up the cue and be more into texting.

You're not even trying to add much wood into the bonfire and you expect him to blaze up?

You should read the Leo FAQ, specifically questions 5 and 15. Also read question 7, answer #3 (www.dxpnet.com/opinion/leo/the-leo-faq-10571016/?checkpg=1)

You need to realize that when it comes to online dating, neither party can be "too" safe. The Leo asking for a photo means that he's trying to avoid being catfished. Sure you may have a bunch of photos online, but that doesn't mean those photos are actually you. People lie online ALL of the time.

Even if those photos are of you, they may not be current. Maybe you look like your photos, maybe you don't, maybe you're a 40 year old man with too much time on his hands pretending to be a woman. The Leo isn't a fool and he isn't trying to barrel forward with a person he's never actually seen in the flesh. So it makes sense that he'd want a current photo of you. If that makes you feel weird, then ask him to send you a photo as well.

Also you know that he's currently traveling for work. You two have barely started communicating, so why on earth do you expect him to ask you out? His interest probably isn't that high yet. Leos are physical people. We don't become invested until we physically interact with a person. Until then, you're not entirely real. This is especially true since you've ignored his request for a photo. More than likely he's still gauging the situation because he barely knows you.

Lastly, you need to stop relying so much on texting especially when it comes to Leo men. Leos are not only busy people, we're usually not great texters. We're too busy living life and juggling work to spend a lot of time hunched over our phones sending message about every detail that's occurring in our lives. If you really want to communicate with a Leo, call us on the phone or talk to us in person. We'd rather hear from you than be tied to our phones all day.

The Leo that I'm talking to asked for more pics of me as well when we started texting. I was hesitant too because I'm like ...there is more than enough of them on my profile but I figured he was making sure I was who I say I was...and I asked him for more as well. Though when he asked for the pics...I straight up asked him "what kinda pics exactly" assuming it was going to "sexy pics" and turns out he just wanted more selfies. We sent the pics and that was the end of that and we progressed to the next phase...seeing each other in person. Since then we have been talking, texting and seeing each other on the regular.

Since you ignored his request...he's probably reluctant to put any effort into anything thinking something is up on your end combined with being out of town. If you dig him...keep the convos going, send the pics and ask for some in return...or have him send them first then you and wait till he gets back into town. Hopefully by then...he will ask you out and you can meet in person and go from there.

Okay people. It's interesting that so many of you zeroed in me not sending him a picture. I really didn't think it was such a big deal. But he did ask for one again - so I sent it to him. I took your advice and asked him to send me one too - which he did. Since then, he's been texting me pretty constantly.

C'est la vie.
I hope you asked for one back. Better yet, FaceTime with each other before you meet up irl. Catfishes be everywhere!

I did.

And since I did that he compliments me every day and texts me about how beautiful I am. He is not back in town and has not asked me out. I do not get it.

I have that venus, we are slow girl 😆 you have no idea, theres two ways to handle that

wait until he analyze everything and ask you out, could be tomorrow, could be next year

or be more direct and tell him you want to go out, or plain and simple ask him out, just you take the initiative, he probably will need a little time to think about it too 😆

I completely agree with this Virgo Venus sentiment since I too have Virgo Venus ugh. We're the slow burn type that are so observant of their partners that they're slowly checking off boxes and weighing the scales if you're worth pursuing. God knows when a Virgo Venus finally gets out of being in an analysis paralysis that he finally asks you out.

It's 2018, be direct and just ask him out. Call him if you do choose to ask him out. Don't ask him via text.

The Leo and Gemini Moon part of him will probably say yes but Virgo Venus will agree to a date several days or a even week out!

If he says no, then you have your answer. It may not be the answer you wanted to hear but it's better knowing than wasting your time on someone who's just stuck on texting you. Cut him loose and move on.

Just wanted to give an update on this. I ended up not asking him out but I did ask him if he ever wanted to meet and he said it was too soon. He told me he is very picky about who he meets in real life. We continued to text for a couple more weeks. He wanted more and more pictures. He was extra intense and flirty. Literally we texted all day on a Sunday, and then Monday I didn't hear from him. I did reach out but got really brief texts and I stopped reaching out and I didn't hear from him.

Sounds like this guy was a catfish unfortunately.
