I met this Leo guy on a dating app. He was charming and thought we should meet up to have fun a little. We decided to meet on that night, but he backed out saying he’s not used to meeting up with girls and sleepovers. I respected that and asked me why if he could tell me what the reason was and he said to me that he is on a break with his ex and he is having some family issues. I told him that I am having the same problems and our kind of felt that we had something in common. We exchanged numbers and talked which led him coming over the next day, and we talked and enjoyed each other’s company. He was my type when it comes to bed. He loves to cuddle and show affection which my ex- lacked. So after that day we talked for a couple of days and snapping each other and having fun sexting. He told me he missed being around me and wanted to have a little fun like last time, so he decided that he wants to sleepover again. I got excited and agreed. He told me before coming that he was not planning to have sex with me and I was okay with it. He came over we kissed and talked a little then we were messing around and decided to have sex. I might have been a bit pushy about it, but we had fun. After the sex, we sat and took some shots, and I decided to express my feelings. To be honest, I was a little pushy and mean when I told him to dump his gf cause I felt he deserves better than her. I thought that he was insulted and told me that he only met me twice and he needs to know me more. Which I get. The next day I texted him and asked him if I upset him with something. He was straight up and told me I was pushy about his ex, and nothing else is wrong. I apologized to him and asked him if there is anything I can do to make it up for him. He told me next time when we see each other we should give each other back massages. I agreed! Then texted him later in the evening to ask him about his day but he didn’t answer me. It’s been three days now, and I feel bad that I messed it up. Is it a typical Leo thing to do? And what should I do to solve it and make us normal again?

I'm a Taurus!

Why oh why would you pursue someone who wasn't over his ex girlfriend, especially when you hadn't met the person yet. You met this guy on a dating app and have seen him on person twice. This would've been a problem dealing with any person of ANY sign. It's pretty obvious he's not over his ex and probably had a strong emotional tie with her.

You've stated that he and his ex are on break, which means that he doesn't believe the relationship is 100% over yet. Something in him is still holding on to his last girlfriend, which is why he backed away when you tried convincing him to get over her. This is entirely inappropriate because you've only known this guy for a short time. If this Leo was recently dealing with another type of loss (like a close friend), would you push him to get over it?

This guy was clearly fine with having sex with you (because of course he was), so don't look too much into that. You're trying to make a fling into something bigger. The truth is, you are trying to push for something more with a person you barely know. The Leo KNOWS this.

Additionally, did you mention that you're also trying to get over an ex? If so, that means that you're rebounding, which the Leo is probably trying to avoid. To be honest, this all seems pretty obvious. You chased after a guy who isn't over his ex, so it didn't work out. Now he's backed off from you because he has to focus on himself.

I think that one is gone and you should move on. Maybe your pushiness pushed him back towards his ex. When someone says something bad about someone I care for, I usually start thinking about all the good in them even if they did bad stuff. If I want to be with someone, I don't ignore them.

The thing is he said he is on a break and might end it soon. So I guess I was a little too excited and decided to say what was on my mind. I did apologize, and he said not to worry about it and told me next time we should do something none sexual. Which I assumed he might want to see me again.

But thank you for your feedback!

I agree that it might only just be a one night stand thing. He was telling me that he might now be going back with her because she doesn't trust him and fighting with him for three months (since they dated). When I texted him after my big mouth, he said when we meet again let's not do something sexual. Do you think that he is lying to me?

I don't think Leos can jump from one relationship to the next. Breaking up with someone takes us a long time to bounce back from. We might look for distractions, but the feelings linger inside for a long time

Yes, I understand! I am having the same struggles because I recently broke up with my ex. So my feeling was just mixed up. We had a good connection in bed and talking too. I think my only mistake is that I expressed my feelings with alcohol which is not a right way to do it. I texted him the next day, and he was honest about what he didn't like and told me what to do next time which involved not being sexual which I respect. I Know I am overthinking about it but I just want to know if he was lying to me did it just to shut me up. Also, I noticed that he isn't as active on social media as he used to.

Maybe he's just sad and withdrawing. You can try to message him again, but if you get nothing back, you're just going to have to let it go. We make our intentions pretty clear if we want you. If not, you'll probably get nothing or small talk at the most.

I am trying to give him his space right now cause I know leos like to have their time. I'm going to try not talk to him for a couple of days and if nothing I'll just have to move on and learn my lesson.

You're overlooking the major red flags. The ex is still in the picture, that's a fact. He told you that he "might not" get back with her. Leos know what we will and won't do. Saying "might not" means that he is not ready to let his ex go. If the relationship was resolved, he would be 100% certain that he was going to leave.

Additionally if a guy, especially a Leo, explicitly says that we don't want sex with you, that's usually a problem. Some guys will say this as a means to get to know you, but along those same lines some guys will say it to manipulate you. Other times guys will say it because either we are not interested/available OR we have feelings for someone else. Generally speaking, it's not a good thing to hear.

Again you don't really know this guy and you only hooked up once. He's clearly not emotionally available and is even shutting down the sexual connection. Take the situation as it is and stop trying to find some deeper meaning. Understand that this is probably just a rebound for both you, which may be why you have strong feelings. If you want to keep the door open for the guy, that's your call. However I suggest that you keep your options open.

hes not over his ex....its hard for us and just messing around makes us more depressed because its not fulfilling
He was so into me saying he likes everything about me (physically). you know when you feel that you are compatible in bed. He said his ex doesn't have sex with him and fight with him so I bet he is frustrated. I just Hope I didn't blow it. I wish he can give me another chance to go slow with him cause that's what I told him

Even thought U r my fellow Taurus sign. I disagree with a lot of things that happened. The Leo given u better answers on here already but why oh why wud u get involved with him knowing things r not over. It was a risk u were willing to take. Meeting someone twice and already demanding him to dumb his ex or being pushy seems so horrible. It’s not ur place since to him it was just for fun. U r making a Taurus seems so pushy which is not really the case esp not in the beginning. Or maybe I’m not a typical Taurus lol. any how good luck. The Leo is gone.😢 find someone else and maybe. U have to work on ur controlling issues. I used to b like that when I was a lot younger Ofcoz I learnt a lot. Now I’m not at all like that and maybe a bit too laid back for a Taurus . It was never real. U both were using each other to rebound . U will b fine

Leo and Taurus sexual compatibility is always there but u both had a bad stArt. I really don’t see him coming back. Leo is very strong minded and strong Lion. They don’t let someone tell them what to do easily. once he goes silent that is it withthem I think. 😢 he is the boss whether u accept it or not . U have to let them have their own stubborn mind but Ofcoz u got to do it in a smart way with them. Let them think they r the one making the their own decision.

But do you think the last suggestion he said was just bullshit? Cause I also noticed he wasn’t being really active on Snapchat anymore.

I might have been a bit pushy about it, but we had fun. After the sex, we sat and took some shots, and I decided to express my feelings. To be honest, I was a little pushy and mean when I told him to dump his gf cause I felt he deserves better than her. I thought that he was insulted and told me that he only met me twice and he needs to know me more.
Lol yeah this is why women are usually instigators to divorce. Too impulsive. When a guy is perfectly reasonable and says he wants to let things marinade for a while y'all get all offended and insecure.

If someone told me to dump my ex after meeting them twice bc I "deserve better" I'd be like, 'Sorry who dfuq are you? Do you even know me enough to know what's best for me let alone that you love me?'

I may not be vocal about it if the sex was good like it usually is with psychos, but I'd approach it with an escape plan.

I think my reasoning was cause I also got dumped two weeks before and been dealing with shit which I mentioned to him when we met. Both talked about what we’ve been going through. Yes I know what I did wasn’t ideal but at the same time it wasn’t intentional to bash his ex. I did apologize about my actions cause it wasn’t appropriate. I just think if he’s done with me he wouldn’t make a suggestion to meet again and do something else after asking him that I want to take things slow .Since he was honest about what bothered him and all

Any woman who rushes into a serious commitment can't possibly be very serious about it. Baggage filled with skeletons.
I don’t think that is entirely true. I am a person that likes to be in serious relationship so I can give my all to one person. I just like to play games and be the hard to get. I’m just straightforward but I was too soon in this one. Wish I asked my friends first before making that dumb decision. We were doing well until that night. Ugh it’s a lesson learned

If you must push or force someone's hand in order to gain something... It never ends well.

Especially convincing a guy for sex..... 😐 That's a pretty clear sign..

I mean I've never even heard of that.. to be honest.



Unfortunately for you this guy told you from the beginning he was on a break.. Unresolved business with his ex... that was your clue to back off.

The pushing to drop his ex.. Was a desperate move.





Don't insist for anything more... Even if it's just trying to smooth things over... let him be.


The thing is that we didn’t plan to really have sex. Everything came naturally and we both been hurt. Thinking about it right now it might me just a rebound and that’s it.
