Hi!

This is my first post on this board, but Ive read a lot, mostly under Taurus men topic🙂
After the break-up with Taurus I met a Leo. It has been a very slowly moving flirt and Im not sure we will hit it off some day.

Background - he works as a service provider (I dont want to say which job he does - he's not a barman🙂. So he provided me a service🙂. We started to talk and he flirted with me politely and gently. Then I was still with the Taurus. I didnt see Leo for 2 months...

Then 2 month ago the Taurus was not there anymore and I met Leo again. He flirted more obviously and gave me his phone number. I never called nor smsd, but we met by chance again and he asked me to get a coffee with him. It was one month after giving the number... so things have gone really slowly.

Since the coffee we've changed rare casual texts, he wished me a good weekend, then I asked how he was doing (he was at home sick for a week). Now he is back at work, but he still hasn t called nor texted me. We have never called btw.
We wont see each other due to his work anymore cos he was sent to another service (maybe he asked for it, I dont know).
In his last text he mentioned indirectly that he d like to see me.

Is this a typical Leo behavior? Im 37 (divorced with 2 teenage kids) and he is 48 (2 grown up kids), recovering from a bad divorce 2 yrs ago, but I dont know his current woman-situation (maybe he has a gf). Do you think he is taking it slowly or he is just slipping away? He is quite old to play games I think.

thanks!
Gia

yeah that's true Leo's are very serious when it comes to any think so i think you should make an effort and show an interest that your into him because Leo's love to be devoted by others and you may find true love you may never know if you don't act on it

Thanks for your advice. Ive been rather laid back (Im cappy btw) and reserved and I have not shown him my devotion. He seems to be quite cautious (ot just uninterested, I dont know). But I could see genuine interest in his eyes when he looked at me.

Id love to show him that Id like to get to know him better, but then I should appear at where he works (grrr noo) or plainly invite him out. My experience has shown me that men like to chase, Ive initiated the last text convos, so Id like him to contact me now. Ahhh we??ll see....

He is definitely worth trying, he is so charming and has so much positive energy and a lovely smile! Pining here...

Gia men do like the chase, show some interest but by no means don't initiate or "chase."

Anything you chase will eventually run away.

Leo guys don't play games, and ARE forward so be careful, because from what you have told me it doesn't seem like he's very interested.

I think he likes me, but Im not sure he wants to pursue a relationship with me. He approached me steadily and gave me his number (2 months ago). I texted him back "Now you have my number", but he never called nor texted. A very strange behaviour! Did he wait for me to ask him out?

Then we met casually, as I said, and he asked me to a coffee. Since then he initiated 2 text convos and I initiated the last 2 ones. In his last response he mentioned (he was on sick leave at home) that if we lived closer he??d like to come to see me and chat, and that we??d do it another time.

Since then he has been quiet (a week).
He should know that Im interested cos I took the coffe with him and I responded to his texts.

Maybe he just realized that he isnt THAT interested or he has still something going on with an ex.

As Ive already intitiated the contact, I dont want to do it another time.

He was my busdriver btw (hehe🙂. And yes, there ARE cute busdrivers. Yes, I know they flirt with girls, but I dont think he gives his number to everyone (not that type of guy, and his age!).

We have not even touched each other. Nothing physical.
I took during 2 months the bus he drove, and we had some pretty good and easygoing conversations.

Then he gave me his number, but even though we had each other??s numbers, he never called me, but asked me out personally when he saw me on bus.

Now he doesnt drive my bus any more (Im relieved, I couldnt take the bus anymore cos it was awkvard for me🙂 and we have no chance to see each other.

Just to illustrate the we didnt have anything yet, just a connection.

Gia... from what you wrote I don't think he's into you...

It seems like he lost interest.

I mean a week passed by and he hasn't even called.

I would mark this guy as a lost cause and forget about him... seriously.

Thank you all for responses.

Ike, thanks! You cheered me up! I felt the same thing... a great compatibility... he lightened me up like the sun, while my seriousness and stability seemed to give him something he needed.

I won t still mark him as lost cause because we don t have a relationship and we ve never called (spontaneous encounters). Weeks passed by even before without contact and every time we met, things advanced quickly. I hope he will come back as my busdriver🙂 or I will pop into him in the city center that is quite small.

Btw Ive never had men who were much "into me". Maybe I attract such guys (Cappy on 7th house cusp). Never anyone has pursued me hard or called me insistently... never things have gone fast. I consider myself as good-looking, but there is something in my nature that attracts such "cold" and "powerful" men.

So I??ll be on the "waiting" mode a bit... not too many expectations... hoping the Leo will come towards me again🙂
