Leo men, would you ever cry in front of a girl?

We met 4 months ago and only made it official 2 weeks ago. He cried in front of me last night. He had good reason to be upset (someone he knew passed away a couple of days ago) but I was a little taken back because most men I know would never cry in front of a girl, or at least one they had not been dating for all that long.

Are Leo men very sensitive and emotional

yes leo's in general are sensitive and emotional but we usually hold it in to ourselves, we don't like for people to see us hurting, unhappy, crying etc. So for him to be crying in front of you probably means that he really trusts you, us leos are very big about our egos.

This^. Excluding childhood I guess, very few people have ever seen my cry. It's just not going to happen unless I truly love/trust someone and have known them for MANY years. Out of all the people who I'm close to, only my family has seen me cry and that was a long time ago. I'm just not the type to cry in the first place.

There are some Leos who wear their hearts on their sleeves though. I had a Leo friend that would cry in front of me and other friends. He also had a BIG hear and was a naive in love, which I think was factor. A Leo who hasn't been hurt too many times is more likely to more open.

In fact I'd argue there is nothing more innocent than a Leo's heart the first time we fall in love. Once our hearts are stomped on a couple of times, we harden up FAST. It's also why some Leos become players. We come to the conclusion that we'll never be hurt the same way again, opting to control love rather than fall into it (that is until we find someone who can reach our heart).

His honesty must have thrown you for a loop.

It was not weakness, sensitivity or emotion per se though. It was most likely honesty.

Unless he's not mature. Then it was probably a ploy for attention.

That seems like a very good thing that he could show that to you. Losing someone can be so painful.

One Leo man I know told me that he hasn't cried since he was a child. He knows it likely would be better if he let emotions out that way when really sad, in private at least, but it doesn't happen - he trained himself not to cry.

One of my Leo male friends was the same as above, then he worked on it so he could cry. He can get very moved by music at times.

I've never seen my Leo moon father cry. He's Pisces sun. My mother saw him cry once in close to 30 years, and another time she thinks that he probably cried, in private, when one of his favourite relatives died. I asked my dad if he ever cried, and he said, "Of course!" and explained that he gets a bit teary eyed if he watches a sad movie, but not enough for the tears to go down his face.

Loosing a close friend does not make someone emotional or sensitive.

Makes someone human

It's normal.

Sounds about right. The other thing you have to remember about Leo guys is that we are typical guys when it comes to our emotions. We are more inclined to try and find a way to either divert the emotion or logic our way through it. If we DO cry, it's not a public display. For us crying is private.

I had at least 1 or 2 girlfriends who would get upset that I wouldn't cry or emote in that way.

That makes sense.

Why did they get upset at you about that? Did you seem cold to them when sad, or something like that, so that bothered them? I'm trying to imagine what's upsetting about that.

They never saw me sad. Scorpios also want to see EVERYTHING, the highs and lows. I just approach my emotions more logically and I'm generally a positive/happy person. For me to cry I must have no other options and be backed into a corner. That's such a rare occurrence for me because Leos have a penchant for creating solutions and my Virgo Moon means I have several back up plans at the ready. I don't sulk really, but if I do, I sulk in private and also in spurts.

I also think it was immaturity on their parts. Both expected there to me more drama than was necessary.

Thanks everyone. I know it's normal for anyone to be upset when someone they care for passes away. I'm just not used to a man being so vulnerable so soon. Most do it in private.

I guess partly dumb on my part as I just know Leo's have huge prides and I would just assume that crying in front of the girl they like so early on would make them feel weak.

He does have a cancer Venus which may be what makes him have that more emotional aspect.

I just layed there with him and held his hand. I didn't know what to do or say but I just assured him that it was okay and I wasn't bothered when I could tell he was getting a little embarrassed and apologised.

That's the best way to handle it. If he continues doing that though, let him know if it starts to kill your buzz.

Thanks for that description! That is clear to me now.

I guess, having an air moon (Gem) and 5 planets in the 6th house, I relate to the logical approach more than some watery people might - trying to figure out solutions rather than stewing in feelings for long. I have a lot of friends with strong Virgo influences in their chart who are similar.

My ex leo cried just to shut me up and it worked. Some can be melancholy at times but they are such sunny personalities being sad or melancholy never last very long
