Leo man with cancer in Venus (I'm Taurus with cancer in Venus)

I hear on this forum that a Leo man is quite persistent when he likes somebody. Is this also the case when he has Venus in cancer?

This guy asked me out, then went off the radar busy with work. Now we've been chatting again (initiated by me), I text more than he does and sometimes he doesn't answer, but he has asked to see me next week.

He's working this weekend as a chef, I texted asking if he wants to go to my friends gig next week and he's seen the text but hasn't answered it yet. Is this low interest? Btw he is quite a shy man, he is also kind of overweight but very handsome in my eyes. He told his friends that he is shocked that i even noticed him. But he is my type, and I love men with Venus in cancer.. should I stop texting and just let him be?

One thing to know is that Leos like the personable approach when we communicate. We're generally not big texters, usually preferring phone calls for in-person interactions. Also Leos are fairly busy people, so that may explain the delay in his responses.

For example if I'm working, a woman may not hear back from me for an hour or two. If we already have set plans, I generally won't text her unless she texts me first. Why? Because I don't want to chat so much via text, that we have nothing to talk about on the date.

Also if he's shy, he may not know what to say. He might be thinking about his responses before he sends them. I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet and assume that he's not interested especially if he's working. You may expect him to respond fast than he can at the moment.

Wait for him to text you back. You don't need to worry and start over-texting him, that will just make you look needy.

Great advice, thank you!

So you don't think me kissing his best friend a few months ago could affect his view on me? Considering his venus is in cancer like mine, I know he values loyalty highly.

I have sent him text messages three times in a row since Thursday with no replies, possibly because he has been working over the weekend. The first one I answered a question about why i left my last job... then I texted two days later asking if he wanted to join me for an even that is happening on Thursday, and sent him a picture of it. He has not replied! Now this event has been cancelled and I kind of want to text again telling him this... but perhaps I should wait. I just hope he isn't texting because he is busy, and not because he is not interested or something..

I found out that he is surprised I am into me because he said I am so beautiful, and he was kind of shy and a bit chubby, but I really found him so attractive.

You never mentioned that you kissed his best friend a few months ago in your original post. What's the context there? Leos can be painfully loyal when it comes to our friends. If you have a history with someone we know, we may back off simply on principle. That may not be the case here depending on the scenario.

His best friend used to fancy me, and in December 2015 we kissed. Then he asked me out and I said no because he seemed like a player to me, and he proceeded to ignore me completely. Then in June 2016 he grabbed me and kissed me but he still ignored me completely. Then he invited me to his party in January 2017 where he still ignored me and then he tried to kiss but I pulled away, and this is where I met the guy I am interested in. It could play a part in all of this, but he did ask me out on a date a few times since then, which have not been able to happen yet but next week supposedly.

Well it shouldn't be a big deal, but we Leos can be stubbornly loyal and territorial. You never know what his friend is saying about you to him. The Leo may also be hesitant because he may see you as an opportunist. In his mind he may think, "Hm, she kisses my friend....now she wants me....what gives?" He also sounds like he may not be terribly confident around attractive women (noted by his comment).

There's no real way to know until you get to know him better. For right now you have to wait for him to text you back. Nothing much to do until then.

Hello Chuckcem,

He just answered me now not answering if he was free on Thursday but he wrote 'hiyaaa, I'm going out on Saturday I think, a big one, you should come!'.

Is that a sign of interest? My gut says it isn't as it involves other people..

I wrote back asking what it was exactly and that I am not sure if clubbing is my thing (btw last week I said i was only free until Friday, did he do this on purpose? Maybe he forgot, but I am actually free this weekend now). Is there anything else you think I should text ?

Leo's won't invite you out if there's no interest. Again he's shy, so he's probably not confident enough to ask you out directly. He probably thinks asking you out to an outing with friends will be easier to get you to come.

Shoot him a text and say, "Hey I'd really like to see you. Would you be free to meet up on Friday?" Your last text doesn't sound like you're really interested in seeing him.

Thank you, this is what I did. I wrote to him asking him to the cinema, that drinking is not my thing. He didn't respond to going to the cinema and instead wrote 'you never get drunk? That's crazy' and I said that I drink but don't like getting drunk, and if he could come to the cinema with me that I'd like to see him.

He said 'I'm boxing that night sorry! Lol'. So I last night I wrote 'ok well there was something about you and I wanted to get to know you, plus I find you very handsome. Take care, I'll stop bugging you now xx'. He saw the message today but didn't reply.

I mean he was asking me out at the beggining, but I've been chasing him ever since trying to see him, I've asked him out about 4 times now. Looks wise apparently I'm exactly his type, he found me stunning. He is very busy and is insecure of his looks, this is what his friend told me... I want to show I am interested, do you think he knows and just isn't interested? Is there anything I could say or do, or just let it be? Did I blow it with that last text message? I want to show I like him, but I feel like I keep chasing him and it's embarrassing now...

To be honest I'm not eve sure if he has rejected me... shall I ask him out a final time? Or ask him why he changed his mind? :/ I love men with Venus in cancer, as I have it too...
