I may have left a small detail out about our first date. Originally we had a dinner date. I was pretty clear that I didn’t want to drink on our first date. I was so nervous I cancelled our first date. Thus the Misfits concert, extreme... I know! He was not happy when I canceled (5hrs ahead of time) same day. I reached out to him the next day and he apologized for jumping to conclusions and said “wanna make it up” Misfits concert! The vibe was so chill, relaxed, natural and the chemistry definitely there. We ended up drinking throughout the date but not one of us was drunk. We were chill, lovable, playing and joking. Our Uber dropped us off in a downtown area with plenty of bars. We went into one and all of a sudden his alcohol must have kicked in because he started telling me if you like that guy why don’t you just go with him... I was completely 100% in my date, that’s not my style and I didn’t even know what guy he was talking about. I felt disrespected and confused so I left him there. Both of our cars there and I live two blocks away. He called me like 30 minutes later, apologized and said “ im hungry, let’s go eat!” I was too! He was two blocks away ended up grabbing breakfast and just talking for hours. We completely hit if off. He sent me a text a few hours after our date ended how he appreciated our conversation, how I keep it 100% and it was refreshing. So he had one strike out but I enjoyed his company, chalked it up to the alcohol and it was like it never happened. Forward to after we mended our little misunderstanding. I let him know I was kidding, I was nervous and we were back on. I opened up to him like really honest stuff and he appreciated that but I was buzzed while doing so and he didn’t know it. I’m maid of honor in a wedding quickly approaching so lots of planning, girl time and wine time. I’m buzzed and call him and tell him I had the balls to tell him my feelings the night before because I was buzzed and he basically tells me he’s done. I called him back like wth... so basically he had his little moment that I chose to get over but he’s holding mine against me kind of deal. Now that you guys know the back story
Should I just leave it alone? Yesterday was the first day in a month We didn’t speak
I think he blocked me? Cannot tell with Verizon...
IF he blocked you, he will unblock you.
you seem to be great together but have different languages.
i think he may also have some prev baggage, he sounds insecure and some things you say/do, may trigger stuff for him. really not your problem, he needs to get over whatever history and baggage he has.
leo men can be high maintenance, meaning they need appreciation put in words, many times, especially this guy, as he strikes me he's got insecurity issues.
i mean, every sign out there, and every chart possible will have their own set of issues!!! i'm a firm believer in communicating, as much as they want it too.
Thank you! I too got the same feeling after but then I do too sometimes so it was bypassed. I am authentically just trying to keep him around so I can get to know him better. His BIrthday in 3 weeks
I think I will wait until his bday to wish him a Happy Birthday. If he was feeling the vibe too he should come around..... yes? So disappointed
IF you get to talk to him at all any time soon, I would mention his bday coming up, like: "cmon, i was looking forward to celebrating your bday!!!" or any other remark you wish to make
it is a vanity thing, we like ppl acknowledging our bday beforehand. can't help it hehe 😄
he will like and appreciate that you thought of his bday.
I will be out of town for a wedding that weekend and he actually sounded disappointed when I told him for being so early on. He said ....are you sure it’s that weekend? Sigh
and one more thing: keep in mind that it's up to his emotional maturity also. if he throws in the towel so quickly and then doesn't talk or blocks you, makes me wonder what is a long term relationship gonna be like?!
when we got hurt before we don't want to get hurt again, but getting hurt is part of the process of love, just gotta learn how to deal with the hurt and communicate!!!!! w/o communication everything else is dead, even if you two get into a long term, you will continue to hurt each other, unintentionally, everybody does, we're all human. not to be used an excuse to be a b..ch or a...hole, BUT we're not perfect
if he cannot communicate with you now, will make it much harder in the future.click to expand

I mean, I left him a vm sincerely apologizing. I told him I was buzzed but meant every word I said because I did! I just had a set of balls that night to say it. He said, I feel like a layer of the onion has been peeled and I’m getting to know you better now. I guess when i called a little buzzed and told him I was buzzed it all went out the window. I feel like I did my part and if I don’t hear from him I truly will be disappointedclick to expand

Next time lead with the full story since context is everything. I'll say this first, this Leo is insecure. @Rising nailed it all on the head it seems, but I'll throw in my 2 cents having dealt with Scorpios before. This guy either isn't confident in himself, afraid of getting hurt, OR is playing hot/cold games to gain the upper hand. Either way, it's all due to insecurity.
Scorpios can be difficult to read since you choose to hide so much of your true intentions on a consistent basis. Leo's only want someone who can be direct/upfront. While we can be forgiving, we are prone to distancing ourselves from potential pain. If we see something we don't like, we may retaliate by doubling down and walking away. Emotions take energy and unlike Scorpio, we derive no pleasure when emotions run foul. We're a sign of passion, not intensity. Keep that in mind.
Furthermore cancelling five hours before a date is terrible. You don't know what plans he had to move around to see you. It's obvious that you weren't being honest with him since everyone knows their schedule five hours prior. Unless an emergency happens last minute, canceling last minute sends a signal that you don't respect the other person's time. It makes you look fake. This definitely painted his initial idea of you. If you already told him that you canceled because of nervousness, that helps, but doesn't mean that he believes you.
I had someone cancel on me last minute once because of some excuse. She apologized and tried rescheduling. I let her know that I'm a busy guy, so if she wanted to see me she'd have to reconfirm and pay for dinner. She agreed and I still managed to show up 45 minutes late. I only kept the date because I already knew her prior. Otherwise I would not have made the time for her in my schedule. Leos are busy people, so a lot of us don't have time for games.
If I had to guess, while the Leo was busy trying to "appear" confident, you were trying to chip away at his facade. I imagine there's another side to this story in which you were "testing" him and he doubled down to prove that he could push you away. Again this is all miscommunication, but Leos tend to have a reason for what we do. We are not a subtle sign. When he said, "...if you like that guy why don’t you just go with him," it was him being drunk/stupid. However in his mind, since you were already teasing him, he probably thought that you were trying to make him jealous.
Again this is his own insecurity and he should have handled that better. Yet I've personally known Scorpios who will use manipulation to get under someone's skin in order to see the "real them". This of course is only a good tactic for finding someone's negative attributes. What you seek, you will find. That's not to say this is all your fault or anything, I'm just trying to give you context.
As for your last interaction with him, it sounds like he shut down because of the drama. Calling him drunk to say that you opened up due to alcohol probably didn't translate well with him. A common misconception is that Leos like drama. The truth is we can find other people's drama entertaining, but unless we are severely lacking in emotional fulfillment, we tend not to like our own drama that much. It's also possible that he missed you and got jealous when you called him drunk, feeling as if the only time you're honest with him is when something is wrong or when alcohol is involved. Again that's his own insecurities at play. It just sounds like the communication has been off and he may be taking that to heart. He'll need to understand if he's dealing with a Scorpio that he can't take everything personally.
Also it doesn't sound like you've known this guy long. Understand that the ups and downs of this situation may be intriguing to you, but could be a clear sign this guy isn't emotionally mature.click to expand

I only kept the date because I already knew her prior. Otherwise I would not have made the time for her in my schedule. Leos are busy people, so a lot of us don't have time for games.
If I had to guess, while the Leo was busy trying to "appear" confident, you were trying to chip away at his facade. I imagine there's another side to this story in which you were "testing" him and he doubled down to prove that he could push you away. Again this is all miscommunication, but Leos tend to have a reason for what we do. We are not a subtle sign. When he said, "...if you like that guy why don’t you just go with him," it was him being drunk/stupid. However in his mind, since you were already teasing him, he probably thought that you were trying to make him jealous.
Again this is his own insecurity and he should have handled that better. Yet I've personally known Scorpios who will use manipulation to get under someone's skin in order to see the "real them". This of course is only a good tactic for finding someone's negative attributes. What you seek, you will find. That's not to say this is all your fault or anything, I'm just trying to give you context.
As for your last interaction with him, it sounds like he shut down because of the drama. Calling him drunk to say that you opened up due to alcohol probably didn't translate well with him. A common misconception is that Leos like drama. The truth is we can find other people's drama entertaining, but unless we are severely lacking in emotional fulfillment, we tend not to like our own drama that much. It's also possible that he missed you and got jealous when you called him drunk, feeling as if the only time you're honest with him is when something is wrong or when alcohol is involved. Again that's his own insecurities at play. It just sounds like the communication has been off and he may be taking that to heart. He'll need to understand if he's dealing with a Scorpio that he can't take everything personally.
Also it doesn't sound like you've known this guy long. Understand that the ups and downs of this situation may be intriguing to you, but could be a clear sign this guy isn't emotionally mature.click to expand

It's just a Leo male, not the end of the world. As much as he acts like he is everything, he just a simple human like everyone else. I was kind of like this guy my early 20's. He will make you feel all this stuff at once, and put you in a dramatic game of "Chase the ego." He will throw you into his world, leave, throw you back in again, and make it hard for you to ever truly escape. As long as you fuel his ego, he will never leave. Fuck that guy. Leave him high and dry with nothing from you. Don't give him any emotion, thoughts, or the time of day. Completely move on, and find better. That will completely blow his mind, put his ego in check, and maybe teach him a valuable lesson in life. You can't string people along because you find it fun, dramatic, exciting, and have your heart on your sleeve. Be mature and real with people, and just be honest. At the least don't give false ego boosts to people just because it sounds good. That's a tip for all the egotistical Leo males.

You ruined the "vibe" by joking that the vibe was off. You cock blocked yourself with that comment. You might as well of punched him in the nuts.
Fml, didn’t mean any harm. It was banter
More opinions, reach out or walk away?
The average leo is very traditionally romantic. They want to win you and for you to swoon.
Act helpless to their charms.
Do that. Tell him you were joking and say you are devastated by the text.
(which is true anyway)
Make it a REALLY LONG ASS TEXT ...like a rachel letter from friends ..8 pages long two sides.
REALLY over the top dramatic.
People will say this is a bad idea ..but trust me i know leos.click to expand

I may have left a small detail out about our first date. Originally we had a dinner date. I was pretty clear that I didn’t want to drink on our first date. I was so nervous I cancelled our first date. Thus the Misfits concert, extreme... I know! He was not happy when I canceled (5hrs ahead of time) same day. I reached out to him the next day and he apologized for jumping to conclusions and said “wanna make it up” Misfits concert! The vibe was so chill, relaxed, natural and the chemistry definitely there. We ended up drinking throughout the date but not one of us was drunk. We were chill, lovable, playing and joking. Our Uber dropped us off in a downtown area with plenty of bars. We went into one and all of a sudden his alcohol must have kicked in because he started telling me if you like that guy why don’t you just go with him... I was completely 100% in my date, that’s not my style and I didn’t even know what guy he was talking about. I felt disrespected and confused so I left him there. Both of our cars there and I live two blocks away. He called me like 30 minutes later, apologized and said “ im hungry, let’s go eat!” I was too! He was two blocks away ended up grabbing breakfast and just talking for hours. We completely hit if off. He sent me a text a few hours after our date ended how he appreciated our conversation, how I keep it 100% and it was refreshing. So he had one strike out but I enjoyed his company, chalked it up to the alcohol and it was like it never happened. Forward to after we mended our little misunderstanding. I let him know I was kidding, I was nervous and we were back on. I opened up to him like really honest stuff and he appreciated that but I was buzzed while doing so and he didn’t know it. I’m maid of honor in a wedding quickly approaching so lots of planning, girl time and wine time. I’m buzzed and call him and tell him I had the balls to tell him my feelings the night before because I was buzzed and he basically tells me he’s done. I called him back like wth... so basically he had his little moment that I chose to get over but he’s holding mine against me kind of deal. Now that you guys know the back story
Should I just leave it alone? Yesterday was the first day in a month We didn’t speak
I think he blocked me? Cannot tell with Verizon...
Next time lead with the full story since context is everything. I'll say this first, this Leo is insecure. @Rising nailed it all on the head it seems, but I'll throw in my 2 cents having dealt with Scorpios before. This guy either isn't confident in himself, afraid of getting hurt, OR is playing hot/cold games to gain the upper hand. Either way, it's all due to insecurity.
Scorpios can be difficult to read since you choose to hide so much of your true intentions on a consistent basis. Leo's only want someone who can be direct/upfront. While we can be forgiving, we are prone to distancing ourselves from potential pain. If we see something we don't like, we may retaliate by doubling down and walking away. Emotions take energy and unlike Scorpio, we derive no pleasure when emotions run foul. We're a sign of passion, not intensity. Keep that in mind.
Furthermore cancelling five hours before a date is terrible. You don't know what plans he had to move around to see you. It's obvious that you weren't being honest with him since everyone knows their schedule five hours prior. Unless an emergency happens last minute, canceling last minute sends a signal that you don't respect the other person's time. It makes you look fake. This definitely painted his initial idea of you. If you already told him that you canceled because of nervousness, that helps, but doesn't mean that he believes you.

Another thing, he commented quite often how much he appreciated my strong personality and said how refreshing it was. I was with a cancer previously and always had to mellow out to please him because he was more chill than I
Then he made a comment about two strong personalities not working. I told him with two strong teammates you know what you are.... winners. I’m just confused and honestly disappointed.
Do you think he’ll come back around? I did my part
He got a genuine apology from me. I will not chase him... doesn’t mean I don’t want to! Lol sighclick to expand

Then he made a comment about two strong personalities not working. I told him with two strong teammates you know what you are.... winners. I’m just confused and honestly disappointed.
Do you think he’ll come back around? I did my part
He got a genuine apology from me. I will not chase him... doesn’t mean I don’t want to! Lol sigh
It really sounds like he may not be able to handle you. It's your choice if you want to wait around on him, but it's up to him to start speaking to you again since he's the one who bailed. Also try to see this situation for what it is and don't get caught up in the back and forth, hot and cold games he appears to be playing. Scorpios can often fall for push/pull tactics from aloof people, or people who seem hard to get. If this guy is too insecure to not cause unnecessary problems, see it for what it is, not what you want it to be.
Ty Mr Leo... in ref to not being able to handle me.... my personality? My vibe? In what way. Still nothing from him.... should I even wish him a happy birthday? I know he was interested and the worst part is, I feel like I chased him away. Still sincerely bummedclick to expand

I may have left a small detail out about our first date. Originally we had a dinner date. I was pretty clear that I didn’t want to drink on our first date. I was so nervous I cancelled our first date. Thus the Misfits concert, extreme... I know! He was not happy when I canceled (5hrs ahead of time) same day. I reached out to him the next day and he apologized for jumping to conclusions and said “wanna make it up” Misfits concert! The vibe was so chill, relaxed, natural and the chemistry definitely there. We ended up drinking throughout the date but not one of us was drunk. We were chill, lovable, playing and joking. Our Uber dropped us off in a downtown area with plenty of bars. We went into one and all of a sudden his alcohol must have kicked in because he started telling me if you like that guy why don’t you just go with him... I was completely 100% in my date, that’s not my style and I didn’t even know what guy he was talking about. I felt disrespected and confused so I left him there. Both of our cars there and I live two blocks away. He called me like 30 minutes later, apologized and said “ im hungry, let’s go eat!” I was too! He was two blocks away ended up grabbing breakfast and just talking for hours. We completely hit if off. He sent me a text a few hours after our date ended how he appreciated our conversation, how I keep it 100% and it was refreshing. So he had one strike out but I enjoyed his company, chalked it up to the alcohol and it was like it never happened. Forward to after we mended our little misunderstanding. I let him know I was kidding, I was nervous and we were back on. I opened up to him like really honest stuff and he appreciated that but I was buzzed while doing so and he didn’t know it. I’m maid of honor in a wedding quickly approaching so lots of planning, girl time and wine time. I’m buzzed and call him and tell him I had the balls to tell him my feelings the night before because I was buzzed and he basically tells me he’s done. I called him back like wth... so basically he had his little moment that I chose to get over but he’s holding mine against me kind of deal. Now that you guys know the back story
Should I just leave it alone? Yesterday was the first day in a month We didn’t speak
I think he blocked me? Cannot tell with Verizon...
Next time lead with the full story since context is everything. I'll say this first, this Leo is insecure. @Rising nailed it all on the head it seems, but I'll throw in my 2 cents having dealt with Scorpios before. This guy either isn't confident in himself, afraid of getting hurt, OR is playing hot/cold games to gain the upper hand. Either way, it's all due to insecurity.
Scorpios can be difficult to read since you choose to hide so much of your true intentions on a consistent basis. Leo's only want someone who can be direct/upfront. While we can be forgiving, we are prone to distancing ourselves from potential pain. If we see something we don't like, we may retaliate by doubling down and walking away. Emotions take energy and unlike Scorpio, we derive no pleasure when emotions run foul. We're a sign of passion, not intensity. Keep that in mind.
Furthermore cancelling five hours before a date is terrible. You don't know what plans he had to move around to see you. It's obvious that you weren't being honest with him since everyone knows their schedule five hours prior. Unless an emergency happens last minute, canceling last minute sends a signal that you don't respect the other person's time. It makes you look fake. This definitely painted his initial idea of you. If you already told him that you canceled because of nervousness, that helps, but doesn't mean that he believes you.
I had someone cancel on me last minute once because of some excuse. She apologized and tried rescheduling. I let her know that I'm a busy guy, so if she wanted to see me she'd have to reconfirm and pay for dinner. She agreed and I still managed to show up 45 minutes late. I only kept the date because I already knew her prior. Otherwise I would not have made the time for her in my schedule. Leos are busy people, so a lot of us don't have time for games.
If I had to guess, while the Leo was busy trying to "appear" confident, you were trying to chip away at his facade. I imagine there's another side to this story in which you were "testing" him and he doubled down to prove that he could push you away. Again this is all miscommunication, but Leos tend to have a reason for what we do. We are not a subtle sign. When he said, "...if you like that guy why don’t you just go with him," it was him being drunk/stupid. However in his mind, since you were already teasing him, he probably thought that you were trying to make him jealous.
Again this is his own insecurity and he should have handled that better. Yet I've personally known Scorpios who will use manipulation to get under someone's skin in order to see the "real them". This of course is only a good tactic for finding someone's negative attributes. What you seek, you will find. That's not to say this is all your fault or anything, I'm just trying to give you context.
As for your last interaction with him, it sounds like he shut down because of the drama. Calling him drunk to say that you opened up due to alcohol probably didn't translate well with him. A common misconception is that Leos like drama. The truth is we can find other people's drama entertaining, but unless we are severely lacking in emotional fulfillment, we tend not to like our own drama that much. It's also possible that he missed you and got jealous when you called him drunk, feeling as if the only time you're honest with him is when something is wrong or when alcohol is involved. Again that's his own insecurities at play. It just sounds like the communication has been off and he may be taking that to heart. He'll need to understand if he's dealing with a Scorpio that he can't take everything personally.

This Leo reeks of insecurity. Here's the thing about Scorpios, there is usually a fairly strong sexual energy that exudes from you once you get past the "mystique". Leos can generally cut through that mystique fairly quickly. A Leo who understands this will be enticed, but a Leo who doesn't may think that a Scorpio's sexual energy is shared with everyone. An insecure Leo will simply not understand why they are evoking such an intense energy from a Scorpio so early.
From what I gather, the Leo got in his own head and saw your energy as a threat. He probably let his imagination run wild and deteriorate into jealousy. He couldn't peg you. Likewise you were probably more direct than he anticipated, so he probably thought you act this way with everyone.click to expand

Ty Leo, my original thought... ok he has some insecurities. In groups of large people his dynamic exude pure confidence and I completely appreciated that... it drew me in actually. I have toned myself down a lot of times and I just won’t any more. He went from appreciating me being 100, telling me it was refreshing to this. Hot and cold. He said he hates playing games but I’m second guessing that one. He has completely cut me off
And it sucks because I’m not like that with anyone... only people I like lol. I think I’m just completely bummed because I’m picky, been single for a minute. No one catches my attention easily but he did... he had it and then he was gone... still bummedclick to expand

Late to the party, but you guys went to a Misfits concert? Damn. If I could that off, I’d bag my Aqua, no question.
So freakin jealous of you US folks. Damn..
Ok. Continue.
I got no Leo dude input. But being vulnerable and showing me how much you care would make me forgive you (as a Leo female).
Posted by Erinelda
Wait wait wait.. I don't care about the stupid dude. You set a boundary with yourself and with him that you didn't want to drink but you still did? Be kind to yourself, set and keep your boundaries. If you don't not only will you suffer but guys will try to walk all over you.

and one more thing: keep in mind that it's up to his emotional maturity also. if he throws in the towel so quickly and then doesn't talk or blocks you, makes me wonder what is a long term relationship gonna be like?!
when we got hurt before we don't want to get hurt again, but getting hurt is part of the process of love, just gotta learn how to deal with the hurt and communicate!!!!! w/o communication everything else is dead, even if you two get into a long term, you will continue to hurt each other, unintentionally, everybody does, we're all human. not to be used an excuse to be a b..ch or a...hole, BUT we're not perfect
if he cannot communicate with you now, will make it much harder in the future.
