Leo Man Played me I guess :(

I'm in a dilemma and feeling anxious about everything happening. So a month back a Leo guy started talking to me. I am an Aries woman. We both are extremely alike in our likings, and approach, in general, and our conversations were going great. We chatted almost every day and he was full of sweet talks, complimenting me, appreciating me basically love-bombing me. We eventually got attracted to each other. We both are quite sexual people so had a few interesting talks about all that and of course, we were flirting and being romantic virtually. I took some time to open up and eventually let my guard down.

He kept on saying lets meet, lets plan, let go for a hike etc etc. but when I actually asked about making plans he was all confused and me being an aries of course I planned everything. Finally, we met and it was great. I liked him. The next day we chatted the entire day talking about everything, how we felt, and trust me he was all crazy about me. And said can't wait to meet again.

Suddenly after 3 days of all this happening, he got really busy and stopped messaging. I was surprised and of course I reacted and asked him why he was acting so cold. He said I shouldn't worry as he was busy. No msg no call after that from his end. He stopped liking my stories, and pictures on IG too which he was constantly doing.

I still gave him a chance and proactively messaged asking how was his day and stuff. He started replying late. Like 6-7 hrs late. Then it changed to 1 day late reply. And I was only initiating talks. He was not saying anything lovey-dovey anymore. Just plain how we talk to friends or colleagues. I didn't quite understand so I confronted. He said he is like this, he gets into his shell and goes in silent mode and takes time to get out of it.

I started feeling disrespected. It was almost like he wanted to ghost me but since I was texting he was just replying for the sake. Yesterday I pinged him that I was free on the weekend and we should catch up. He read the msg but didn't reply. He texted the next day morning which is today saying let's meet on Sunday. But idk why I felt like he wasn't interested at all and sounds like I forced him. So I denied and said I dont want to meet anymore as something inside me just died and I don't feel like it. And to this, he just replied 'Take care of yourself '. Like wtfffff. I'm so sad, and broken and have anxiety now. I removed him from everywhere but im missing him. Did I do the right thing?

Yeah, wtf...you practically dumped this man who was already checking out...

What did you expect him to say or do? Fight for you...?

He was turned off by something or if you slept with him, that’s all he was looking to get

Leo’s love the bait n switch.

They come on all heavy and then pullback.

He’s establishing dominance over you.

He gets to be passenger princess in the relationship. You do all the work and he reaps your good energy, your hard work. Regal royalty

Don’t text him at all. If he texts, tell him point blank, I require such and such. Tell him your standards! Either his going to take charge or find someone else willing to put him on a pedestal

Leo men are scared of Aries women, that's the conclusion I've come to. You did the right thing, leave it at that.

Leo and Aries men are scared of Gemini women. And I don’t blame them.

My Leo brother married an Aries woman and she calls all the shots and he’s following her around like a puppy dog. Even compromising his own needs/desires to keep her happy at times and that makes me quite sad. I hope that it’s more reciprocal behind the scenes

But seriously under a month, fully gushying and love bombing over each other.....before you even met?

Hey milestones exist for a reason. Step by step in the dating process. You way over invested in someone you know only virtually.

Aries women can be a lot, very bossy. I don't think I have the same intensity, only sometimes 😂 But yeah, I've seen many Leo men reject Aries women but still continue to act like they're in to them, very flirtatious etc but don't commit and then eventually date someone else.

Aren’t you a Virgo moon? I think your Virgo moon probably tempers the Aries a lot. The two signs which are so completely opposite of each other. Like cap and gem for me. I think the earth placements are a nice water-down of such an over the top energy, but I’m sure to be biased with my own cap moon 😆

Meeting in person is very important, because without it you live in fantasy of that person and the whole relationship

Yes very!

What people don't realize, doing that, builds the relationship and most importantly a false image of the person.

There is so much of a person that can not be translated properly... virtually.

Emotions, context in communication. There is a lot said non-verbal.

And gives the ability for people to always give their best by being able to hide the rest or at least it not be seen by the other....that's not realistic. Real relationships have highs and lows. You can't always be on your A game, and that's OK!

It's the little things about a person and other sides to a person you don't get to see that is so very very important in close relationships. Those little things and other sides to a person not seen at a distance that is required for a real relationship and well.... real love for the person and who they really are.

That happens over time.

Step by step.

🤔People who hide themselves are missing out. People will fall for a image rather then the real you. In a way it's ltlying about who you are & real feelings and trapping you in the lie with that person. about who you are.

The flip side of that, means someone who would love you for you willn't see you and those things they will genuinely love.

P.S. conflict resolution and understanding each other is also harder at a distance. The abilty to fake it or walk away from the other can mean nothing important/difficult gets handled. This will cause rifts and undermine the relationship.

This is really important in real relationships. Real loving relationships.

He's keeping you on the back burner

His Sun Sign is irrelevant.

He's an experienced, love-bombing player that loves the chase and you're a naive and clueless, overtly attached woman. Lick your wounds, cut your losses and get over yourself.

I don't think you got "played". Something changed in him, that's all. Who knows what goes on inside a person? I suspect he found it too much and backed off

Did you do the right thing? I wouldn't kid yourself that you had a choice. You knew he was distancing himself and the "take care of yourself " sounds like he is relieved to me so I don't think you had a say in it really

Well what do you expect? It's a Fire sign. Fire signs are the most immature of the zodiac. They have the highest break-ups out of all of the other elements. They are quick and swift with discarding ones they are friends with or like because they don't use their head. It is all on impulse and what they feel in the moment. Passion dies out and if they are young, it's bound to happen so often.
