LEO'S and rejection—? Did I make a mistake?

I've known a Leo man for about 8 months now. recently about 3 weeks ago we started talking over the phone, last week I invited him over to my house to speand some time with him, and we talked for very many hours. We have a lot of the same interests, I'm so attracted to him, in all aspects, but I like taking things slow, after very many hours of getting to know each other better he attempted to kiss me, I pulled away... Was I wrong. I wanted to, but I didn't want him to think it would be that easy, to me a kiss is very intimate, and I wanted to wait at least for the second time we spend time together. Since then he hasn't called as much, he text messages more than anything and he hasn't attempted to see me again. What should I do I don't want to lose the chance to be with him, I really like him. Any advise.

Hey kcdiva,

I definitely don't think you made a mistake because you were being true to yourself. Your Leo probably feels a little rejected and therefore has retracted a bit. Was it awkward when you pulled away/did you explain to him why you did it? He might think that you're not interested in him in a romantic way and feels embarassed for his actions. Also, leo male = huge ego, so he may be suffering in that department as well. I think the best remedy would be to tell him straight up that you are interested, but like to take things slow. Any good man would respect that. Good luck!

Hey Slowdance,

THanks so much for your reply... Yes I have talked to him, When it was happening I told him that I liked taking things slow. I also told him that I was really interested in him, it's just been a while, and I was kind of nervous. I've been single for such a long time, I felt out of my security zone, but it wasn't that I didn't want to because I did. I've talked to him about it, now it's just really on him. What do you think?

I have my Moon in Leo, I can't stand rejection, no matter how small.

Scars my pride.

I completely agree with slowdance I just want to add something...

What you did was fine, you shouldn't kiss him if you don't want to but... you're sending him the wrong signals when you "invite" him over to your house. If you plan to take it slow, especially with a Leo it's the safest bet to keep things outside of the house, in more public areas until you are ready to move on further. I also suggest saying goodbye before the door. By no means, don't treat him like a friend, just set some boundaries, but show that you're still interested. You inviting him to your house is like a green light signal for him, than he's thinking "Oh well she wants to spend some intimate time with me "one on one"... because if you think about it a home is a very intimate, private, domain and inviting someone over (especially a date) says a LOT. It's like the girl who at the end of the date, getting walked to her door, invites her date in for some "coffee." Get it?


So some advice, to steer clear of being the tease, I suggest you keep the dates in more public and a friendly places (not friendly attitude) until you're ready to start something. It's all about the signals honey.

Also, in my experience with rejecting Leos, you might have to encourage him for him to warm back up to you. Just don't forget, cause a lot of women seem to forget this... if he comes back great, if not... whatever, there are plenty of fishes in the sea, or erm... Leos 😛 😉.

Good Luck.

i dont think leos take rejection that good..but who does?Either youre interested or not.Be clear from the start.
