leo guy and intimacy

well we've been on and off for almost 4 monthes...nothing serious but we're definitely more comfortable w/eachother....he seems like he's scared to get too touchy feely.its takn like 3 monthes for him to just open up a little about himself and start askn me questions about my life....he's been coming over a lot more lately but in the morning when we wake up b4 he's totally awake he'll put his arm around me and i'll back into him but then he kinda retracts like he doesnt know if i like that or he's unsure about holding me....we're just friends but he knows i like him i just dont completely show it...how can i get him to open up just keep waiting like i have been?

yes for a while now...

it gets kinda complicated...we're somewhat friends w/benefits but what happened was i wanted a lil more and ruined it because he thinks im an 'alki' so he kinda distanced himself so i did to...but he came around and we started hanging out a lil here and there...he knows i like him but im not puttin my eggs in one basket so i c other people and he knows it....i know he likes me but we stay in the safe zone ...we hang out talk crap to eachother and argue in fun then have sex....i feel him wanting to touch and hold but i feel the pull also....

I'm Leo and I will not make first moves....verbally I'll flirt like no other sign but physical touch - nope. You absolutely have to make the first move...once you've made it we're A for away but until then...it's just talk...

Also, I agree with Cappy...I think Leo woman chose their lovers a little more carefully but Leo men will jump in the sack with you for the sake of jumping in the sack with you.

"Rule for dating leos : You should not get intimate with a leo unless you know for sure he has feelings for you."

Why??

Because it'll put them off and ruin any chance of even friendship.
End of story - we'll run for the hills.

I have a male friend - we'd been like peas and carrots (Forrest Gump!) and I truly enjoyed hanging out with him until just before he left to work abroad he tried to kiss me. I was repulsed.

"we're just friends but he knows i like him i just dont completely show it...how can i get him to open up just keep waiting like i have been?"

hm, we seem to have a similar predicament, except the roles are reversed. i am a leo, and the guy i'm interested in is a libra. from what i've seen from my libra guy, i feel like libras are very hard to read. your leo guy might be getting mixed signals and is retracting because of it. leos don't like to be vulnerable. he's not going to put himself out there unless he's absolutely sure of your feelings for him. hope this helped!
