Lions - what suffocates you?

Hello to all the lions and lionesses out there 🙂 I'm curious, what do you find suffocating in a relationship (romantic/platonic). What do you consider to be naggy?

I'm currently in pursuit of a Leo, so far we're just friends and I've been very casual and nonchalant about it. I don't want to scare him off with my sensitive, affectionate, borderline mother hen tendencies. He's been away on a business trip, I sent him a msg to wish him safe travels etc. He doesn't usually call when he's away, usually text msgs - we're not big phone people if that makes sense.

Anyway, he called out of the blue when he was in transit to get to his destination. Completely unexpected and we spoke briefly and seeing as it was an overseas call, I kept it short and we just continued via text. Yesterday I didn't hear from him so I sent a msg to say hi and hope his trip is going well and to take care (he's got a sensitive tummy etc). After a few msgs, I said I'll give him a call later when I got home. Later on, I called and he didn't pick up so I sent him a msg to ask if he was heading to bed. No reply till now.

Now I'm just in limbo to see if I should just wait or to call him back again. So it just got me thinking.. what qualifies as being overly suffocating for Leos? Since a lot of Leos I know like the chase, is being persistent and constantly there working against me? LOL

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this 🙂

PS: A little info about him
SUN - Leo
RISING - Scorpio
MOON - Aries
VENUS - LEO

why do people (mostly women) ask about what it is a man wants or needs or gives a shit about—?

what does it matter what he thinks and feels at this stage. just do nothing and see what happens next. act like you don't give a crap and believe it too.

"If you love/loved me, you would/would be doing . . ."

*me already tuning out and thinking about lunch*

"Joe gave up his career to focus on his family. They're his whole world. You're selfish because you want to 'build a career.'
-- "You mean I should give up my dreams, the ones I've had since I was little"?
"Yes! *I* should be your dreams! Why should you want anything else??"

*me planning how to tell her to gtfo by Monday*

I am a Cancer and I can promise you if I had had this conversation with any of my former girlfriends she would have been out on her ass in no time. I don't think any sign can tolerate this sort of clinginess.

Really depends on the leo. I've known leos who can't stand anyone attempting to hold them down, whereas my leo likes a fair bit of suffocation - lol! He is leo sun/venus with cancer moon, taurus mars. Now I should clarify - he does NOT like to be told what to do, no no, but he likes to feel needed/doted over and has a very developed sense of responsibility too (cap rising conjunct saturn) - he likes you to rely on him. And I find it works more effectively for him this way too, because he HATES letting people he cares for down, and so when you let him know you're counting on him for something (not in a bitchy, controlling way, but a way that indicates you really think well of him), he is compelled to better himself and progress in his own life all the more. Sometimes it's like I hold him to standards higher than I do the other people in my life, simply because I believe he's capable of meeting them - and he seems to thrive on this challenge.

I hope he never reads this, I'll be embarrassed. I've eaten too many figs and I'm on a sugar high.

hahaha you and leo girl described my bf all the way

ohhh this is such a difficult one for me, on the one hand I love to be with the person I love and on the other I feel suffocated by their constant prescence and yet I crave it - I think its my sun and moon (cancer) battling with each other. I've come to the conclusion that I need someone who has their own life and who can't see me at certain times because of this, so i'm happy if things get in the way of them seeing me rather then they just don't want to see me - it's not easy balancing independence and interdependence.
