Leo girl- how should a shy Libra deal with her?

Hello,

I'm a perhaps somewhat atypical Libra (Aries rising) who isn't, unlike virtually every profile states, all that good at being social; I can be attentive, kind, interested in what someone's saying, etc, but it's not the most natural thing in the world to me. When I've been in a social situation, I've later been made aware that I come across well, people never have anything bad to say about interacting with me (at least, they haven't said so to my face!).

I've known a somewhat younger Leo girl for a little while now, and we seem to get on pretty well, spent quite a while hanging around together a few times; a bit of banter, she seemed pretty happy/ flattered I came and spoke to her the most recent occasion, and that I'd remembered things she'd said and done before- I added her on Facebook after that occasion, and sent a couple of basic friendly messages here and there, but she responded with only very short messages from which I couldn't tell if she was annoyed I'd contacted her/ was bored by what I was saying (bear in mind I was just 'testing the water' in a generally friendly way, not trying to be super interesting or intense!). So I haven't sent any for a while now, although we can probably both see when the other is online. She has never sent me a message first, which I take as a sign she doesn't really feel like saying anything/ doesn't have anything particular she wants to say, which is perfectly fine; I'd just be interested to know how this squares with general Leo/ Libra interaction, whether she's waiting for me to do something (anything)... just some kind of idea what I should or shouldn't do! It's in my nature to second-guess myself over and over again (which I gather most Libras do...) so even sending a 'hey, how's it going' message causes ridiculous self-doubt; I understand Leos are generally very friendly and good at dealing with people, which means I can't tell if she actually likes me (even just 'as a person') at all or if it's just general Leo force of personality... any hints appreciated.

Leebs are so awesome 😡

With that being said I'd keep messaging - get her used to the idea that somebody (like yourself) can be and is always attentive.

Best find some common ground tho, a topic you're both interested in for a real excuse to open up the conversation in IM

A libra who used to pursue me a little found music I liked mostly and we'd just share files and lyrics we found funny or just enjoyed - car music for our commute each day- cute stuff like that which made me look forward to a hello and then things just flowed around that 🙂 good luck ~*~

What's typical about a Libra? Why don't you meet her in person. Just gather up some courage and go to her.

OK, so the general consensus seems to be stop dithering, which I will now aim to do! Thanks all for the thoughts.

Solesan- I guess 'typical' in the sense of what everything I've read suggests to be characteristic of ALL Librans, which is 'thriving on being some kind of social gadabout'; I don't MIND being friendly etc, I just don't feel it's at all my default state- although my life would be easier if it were, I think!

Pisceanloves- This just came from some website or other so I don't know if it's all accurate, plus I can never remember off the top of my head anything other than 'Libra sun sign, Aries rising' and don't know what the rest all means anyway, but here's what I have:

Sun- Libra

Moon- Capricorn

Mercury- Scorpio

Venus- Libra

Mars- Virgo

Ascendant- Aries

Jupiter- Aquarius

Saturn- Scorpio

Uranus- Sagittarius

Neptune- Capricorn

Pluto- Scorpio

Asteroid- Chiron: Gemini

Midheaven- Gemini

It's amazing how some people can look at all those different things and apparently get a coherent idea, but then that's probably just because I don't understand how to do it ^_^

Thanks again for all your help, everybody!
