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.

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 disappointed

Oh yes, I understand. the disspoinment is hard. especially when you're emotionally invested.

And trust me, I've been there, done that, and it hurts like b..ch.

in the end though, you want smbd who doesn't phased if you're buzzed, or say the wrong things sometimes, or you're just being yourself.

he's probs so afraid of getting hurt, his armour is up, waiting for the onion to peel, peeking over his shield whether he gets hurt again.

and i can understand that also - it's tough.

but you want to be you!!!

i would want the good, the bad and the ugly! i want a complete acceptance from a guy and of a guy.

cannot step on eggshells all the time!! again, not to be used as an excuse. Really!! i strongly believe we should all make giant efforts to get to know the other and not offend them, hurt them, disrespect them and all that!

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.

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.

WOW! Just wow Leo Man. Thank you for that. It seemed like such a long story so I did not include it. Our first date was absolutely AMAZING. Laughing, dancing, giving each other little kisses, holding hands it was perfect. The entire time everything was 100% . Honestly, I can sometimes be very, very picky but the minute I saw this guy I knew I was interested. How he interacted and carried himself in front of others was impressive. He has a lead position and some of the guys he manages showed up with their significant others, as well as his cousin and his wife. He was so attentive, I was very impressed. I am not that girl nagging you to stick by my side because I’m uncomfortable, I actually manage to make friends everywhere I go to the point where it’s annoying. My resting bitch face does not detour anyone. Girls mostly. While he was entertaining he kept checking on me and I really appreciated that about him. I had already made friends with all the girls and I was feeling 100% .

We were so loveable together, he kep pulling me in for kisses, massaging my back and neck during the concert, dancing... it was one of the best dates I have ever had. I found him 100% attractive and the feeling was mutual. Wasn’t until the bar after the concert. I walked into the ladies room and he positioned himself to where he was watching me walk out looking for him the whole time while he’s watching other men check me out. I’m a bitch, I ignore people when I’m alone and I would never be disrespectful like that especially I’m really digging this guy. That’s when he started with “you like him? You wanna go with him?” I don’t even know what guy? I don’t want this to come out the wrong way, but I get a lot of attention coming and going 99% unwanted to the point where I’m talking crap to people and giving dirty looks. I think I left because number 1 my feelings were a bit hurt because I was ALL ABOUT HIM and #2 I felt disrespected for being accused of something that didn’t happen. When I left I thought, he must be insecure but everything before that was fine.... I didn’t hold it against him. That was the first date.

Our 2nd date was good, he was even speaking about future dates with me and I was totally fine with that. I told him I am out of town for a wedding and he said are you sure it’s that weekend? That’s my bday weekend was thinkyof going to Vegas. It was almost like he was included me. On the way home we got detoured somewhere in Hollywood and he said we have to check that place out next time. It was during our drive on the 2nd date I was playing with him. Maybe because the day of the concert it was all fun and games but I kind of feel like he invited to an actual date and wanted to impress me and I was still on concert mode play?

This is true 200% percent about keeping our feelings to ourselves so why is it so bad too be 100% honest when you are a little tipsy. It may have not come out otherwise. If anything it was a good thing.

The reason for the cancellation: We were scheduled on a Thursday for our first date I worked all day and he had that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off. He texted me and wanted to move it back to 8pm and I was bothered because I worked all, he didn’t

He actually was the one to disregard the time. My time. I was bothere but mostly nervous... perfect opportunity to cancel and I did.

About the call... he told me his next three days off so we could hangout then he disappeared all day while I was at work... he sent a good Morning text we went back and forth for a minute then my last text went unanswered

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.

Until 7pm telling me he just got in from a massage spa....I know the girl he was seeing before has days off and works nights and he just didn’t respond to my last text basically all day. No he is not my significant other but you know when Scorpio’s want someone we can get jealous and even though I would not come out and say it my call to him was pretty much passive aggressive because I was bothered. And then it was over....I really liked this guy... that never happens. I feel disappointed 100% I really do. You know so much Chuck I need to keep picking the Leo brain! Everything you touched base in so very thorough & informative...Thank you

My next move? I told him the ball was in his court so I don’t have one.....you think if he is truly interested and had as much fun as I did he will reach out to me? I feel just disappointed..

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 sigh

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.

Lmao!! I texted one short text and left him an apology voice mail and nothing

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

This is way too much effort for someone you barely know.

I'm starting to question your mindset.

Regarding my mindset:

I am super picky, especially with whom I spend my time with. For me wanting to know more about him is already in itself mind-blowing. In, answer to your question. This never happens! I am constantly turning male suitors away but not this one. This one I want to know! HUGE difference, completely different ....Mindset.....BUMMED =)

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.

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 bummed

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.

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.

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 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 bummed

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.

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 bummed

I wouldn't be shocked if he reemerged. It'll be up to you if you want to entertain his advances again.

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).


Lol! We did & they put on an amazing show! 5 hours straight with Rage Against

Amazing time with amazing company that day!

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.

Lol, this is correct but coffee and Misfits just don’t jive! Once I felt comfortable and at ease with this Leo the drinks shortly followed. There was no pressure it was a personal call. We maintained our alcohol consumption all day until the bar when he scared me away lol. All in all it was a great time up until then....I brushed it off

but Back to the dude.... lol
