Leo men with Scorpio Women...thoughts?

I hear that Leo men and Scorpio women aren't necessarily compatible but that still doesn't stop me from wanting to pursue this Leo.

I am a Scorpio woman (that's really all I know..I don't know anything about the moon and planet alignments lol) and I met a Leo man about two and a half months ago. To be honest, I really didn't notice him even when he was doing everything in his power to grab my attention. Once he did grab my attention, the emotional and physical connection was off the charts. I have NEVER had such an attraction to a man in my life. Even his friends made comments at how they never have seen him so happy. He was such a gentleman even when I made it clear I wasn't trying to just hook up. We both talked about what we were looking for and it seemed like we were on the same page.

We still continued to talk via face-time, phone and text since he lived about 3 hours away. He was travelling out of the country, so he decided to come up to my city a day prior to him leaving. We went out for dinner and drinks then hung out with a couple of our friends before heading back to my place. Normally, I like to wait a while before having sex but I couldn't resist. The sex was pretty ok, it wasn't anything fantastic but I definitely enjoyed it nonetheless. We continued to talk while he was travelling and made plans to see each other again once he was back.

Once he was back, we hung out once again with a couple of friends then headed back to my place for some more fun. I had to work early the next day, so he took the next train home. Things seemed fine until his true character start coming out. First, it started with him getting upset at me for giving him a cold (turns out I had a sinus infection so I don't believe it was me). Then he gave me a hard time for not picking him up from the airport. Even though he was joking, I can tell he was deep down not pleased. Next, the messaging was a little less frequent. I then called him out on it and asked if he was just not interested in which he mentions I was crazy for thinking he wasn't and wanted to know why I would think such a thing.

Things then went back to normal for a little bit however the less frequent texts started back up again. It started after I made a joking comment about his ego. I finally tell him that his actions doesn't align with his words in the sense that he's still interested and just deleted his number. He then later in the evening tells me he was out with his family and didn't have his phone with me and ended the text with a "but ok."

I haven't really heard from him since. I sent a couple of small texts that didn't necessarily require a response but nothing. I am assuming it is over but I cannot help but think about him. I don't tolerate a lot of BS with men however he still has me wondering about him. Maybe he is taking time to figure things out within himself? (He is 28 going on 29 and is currently living at home, searching for jobs since he got out of the navy late last year). He also never has had a girlfriend (I find a little strange since he's very good looking and has a decent personality but whatever). I like to think he is genuine in what he is telling me (he was very honest and blunt about everything) but he now he is completely cold. Thoughts? Anyone know anything about how Leo men are or is a scorpio and has experience with a Leo man? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Leo man here with experience dealing with Scorpios. This all looks pretty straight forward. First, be sure to look into your placements (even his). You can do this easily here (which is good for people who are new to how placements work): http://astro.cafeastrology.com/natal.php

As for your situation, it looks like this was a battle of wills. This can be a BIG problem between Scorpios and Leos as both signs have sizable egos that mask a deeper sensitivity. Both signs like doing things our way and can be stubborn when our expectations aren't met.

The fact that the Leo got upset when you gave him a cold points to the fact that he may be a bit moody and self centered. It sounds like he may have had some high (possibly unrealistic) expectations regarding how you were going to make yourself available to him (i.e assuming that you'd pick him up from the airport). This is probably because he has never had an actual relationship before even though he's almost 29 years old. This is somewhat of a red flag since it shows he may not know how to properly interact with women.

So unless you told him that you were going to pick him, there's no reason for him to have expected this gesture from you. As you said, he lives three hours away, so picking him up probably wasn't convenient for you at all. Though on the flip side, he may have agreed to pick you up if th circumstances were reversed (since we Leos tend to be generous/caring toward those like). Regardless, you two werent in an exclusive relationship, so those expectations shouldn't reall be there.

It's possible he was annoyed that you didn't pick him up. Calling him out on his behavior through seemed set him straight. However things dropped off again when you made fun of his ego (not the best tactic when dealing with a Leo). Not knowing exactly what you said to him, I can only assume that he took this to heart and backed off again. At which point you basically pulled the plug when you told him that he was insincere.

Leos tend to have big hearts, so we don't appreciate it when we are called liars or told that we are being insincere (even if it appears we are acting that way). Leo is not a sign that likes to be criticized either. If someone we care about thinks less of us, we will become irritated and think we are not being valued. If Leos feel like we are not being valued, we will grow cold.

To the Leo your last text probably seemed a bit too dramatic since you assumed the worst about him (you deleted his number after all). If he actually was with his family, that text only makes you seem clingy (and crazy), which can send a Leo man running for the hills. Imagine if you were with your family and out of nowhere the Leo sent you an angry text saying, "Oh I see how it is. I'm tired of these games. I'm done with you." You would probably think he was crazy.

In the beginning the Leo was probably texting you non-stop he was trying to make a good impression. However as he became comfortable, he fell into his normal routine (it usually takes people around 3 months to show who they really are in relationships). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but because you were so used to the frequent text messages, you became focused on his lack of texts.

Another thing to know about Leos is that we can be very busy. We also are not the biggest fans of texting. It can a pain for us to keep up with texting since we prefer phone calls and/or in face interactions. So much context is lost through texting that it annoy us. So know that if you're looking for partner who will constantly text you, Leo isn't the best option. If a Leo texts you, it's more than likely to invite you out.

It doesn't sound like you two were that serious or in an exclusive relationship, so it's possible that he was talking to other woman as well (this also means you could have been talking to other men). If that's the case, you may have knocked yourself out of contention. Regardless, accusing a Leo of wrongdoing when we are busy/preoccupied, will rub us the wrong way pretty quick.

The other issue is that this was more or less a long distance situation. While three hours isn't an impossible distance to maintain a physicality, it does make things tricky. You still had the same obstacles and problems that exist within a long distance relationship. The best way to handle a this type of scenario is through open communication, which this relationship clearly lacked. There was too much pride and hurt feelings for either of you to be open and honest with one another. So astrological reasons aside, this was already a difficult situation.

The biggest issue I've found when dealing with Scorpio women is their paranoia (which can later lead to jealousy and obsession) and need for control. Scorpio's don't like to emotionally vulnerable because deep down you are very sensitive. When a Scorpio is so paranoid that they act out of fear, they push people away, regardless of if the fear was valid or not. This of course turns the other person off and inspires them to walk away. So in your case, you were so sure that this Leo was insincere that you pushed him away. Since you pushed him away, he left.

At this point if he is not responding to you, he is probably done. It's best that you let him go and move on to someone new.
