Hey Leo ladies and gents. I have no prior experience with any Leo men and recently I've become friends with one. Few days ago I was informed that some common friends think that me and this guy are more than friends. It was a surprise and now I've started wondering...

I met this guy some 4 months ago. We take evening courses in the same place, so we kept bumping into each other here and there and a few times we had nice long conversations where he asked quite a lot of questions about me. In time we got to know each other better and became more friendly. Recently we started helping each other out with some study related stuff, he's helping me with my problems and I'm helping with his. As a result we're seeing quite a bit more of each other. And if it happens that we're both at the same time at the same place, often we end up together in the crowd which is I think the reason our friends think there's something going on. He's generally been kind and helpful to me, but I've never taken any of his gestures as anything more than just friendly, because he's generally very friendly, social and somewhat flirty with everyone, which if I understand it correctly is the Leo behavior.

Recently he's also dealing with a serious complication in his life. Because of this sometimes I feel he's very tired, withdrawn and quiet. On the other hand I feel that when I stick around a bit and talk to him he opens up and then he appears to feel better... We talk about our personal lives a lot but he has never told me anything about his past relationships (I know he's currently single). More recently our meetings are becoming a bit longer, sometimes many hours after class, in some of which we're not exactly studying and more like just hanging out, going for a walk, having a meal... Sometimes he really talks quite a lot 🙂, passionately explaining his theories on different things and showing me things he finds cool. I feel that sometimes when we meet he seems a bit drained, but when many hours later he hugs me goodbye he's quite smiley. I'm very happy to be helping him, but now I'm also wondering if it may actually be true that he's feeling something more. I have no idea, I'm very bad at guessing this sort of thing. But I do want to know, so can anyone help me out in understanding this? He's mid 30s and I'm late 20s. I don't know what other detail might help so please tell me.

Hey, its all sounds nice 🙂

As a Leo I can tend to retreat and withdraw - but just simply talking to someone then brings me right out of that, I love company, love people and to be with people and though I can go quiet and move into my lion cave when things aren't going so well, if someone seeks me out and starts talking then I spark right back up - even a trip to the shops and talking to the person serving there can be enough, I am quite easy to cheer up. If someone doesn't seek me out and things are bad enough I could well retreat for a long time and not fix myself with interaction even though I'm fully aware that this is all I need. I'm also quite open about my personal life but there is a lot also kept private - but I will most definetly talk a lot about personal troubles to someone whom I consider a friend and trustworthy.

I'm also very social and flirty 🙂 but sometimes i'm oblivious to someones attraction to me. I have a few male friends who would have mistaken my friendliness in the past as possible interest in them, which is awkward - and as I have told them, if I was interested in you there would be no doubt in your mind. So to decide whether his current behaviour depicts romantic interest - he sounds typically leo like in his friendship towards you - if you two end up in a crowd and he is around you more than anyone else though - then he's getting his body close to you,I'd have no problem positioning myself right beside the person i'm interested in. There could be something there alright and if he's a mature leo he'll know not to go in all impulsively with guns blazing.

Are you interested in him? if so you should give him some signals to show this, a little prompt 🙂 see where it takes you.

celticlioness thank you for your answer. 🙂

Yes, I think that at the moment when we're around other people/in a crowd, as well as when it's just the two of us, we're spending more time with each other than with anyone else (hours and hours of talking!), which for me personally is unusual because I'm generally social too, but it still takes me longer than this to become this amount of friendly with someone. And yes he often does position himself pretty physically close to me, and does a lot of random touching too. Sometimes when I try to shake his hand when saying goodbye (that's what I usually do if I'm not terribly close to someone, I don't generally hug everyone..) he pulls me by my hand and makes it into a hug which I still find somewhat unexpected (do Leos often hug people? 🙂 I've not seen him do that with anyone else though...).

As to whether I'm interested... it's a new thought honestly, I'm still figuring it out myself. But I'm very curious now, so I guess I must be a bit interested. I will do as you suggested and see what happens! 🙂
