Long distance Leo-Pisces: do we have a chance?

While working abroad, I met an absolutely wonderful Leo man by chance at a bar in my city, when I showed up by chance to meet up with my housemate and her friend. Although we socialized with others in the group during the evening, he and I were pretty much inseparable and always ended up by each others' side. Before I left, he asked to add me on Facebook, he said he'd talk to me soon, and we said goodbye.

I didn't expect much to come of our encounter, because I was leaving the country to go back home in three weeks' time. As a Pisces, I also felt like I'd finally begun to blossom and was enjoying being social and playing the field, so to speak, at least at a platonic level. (I find it difficult to take things a step further and pursue a physical or emotional connection unless I really, really like and trust someone.) But I couldn't deny that I felt an unusual connection with this Leo and secretly hoped we'd be reunited.

We both got tied down at work that week, but the following week he invited me out after work for drinks. It was a little awkward getting the conversation going at first, but once again, once we started talking we couldn't seem to stop. After a drink and an hour or so spent at the bar, he asked if I'd like dinner and we carried our date over to a restaurant. After almost two hours spent over dinner, he asked if I had to leave quite yet, then suggested a wine bar down the street. So, in total, we spent about five hours together and the conversation flowed freely and it was obvious that we enjoyed each other's company, although physical affection was very limited beyond an occasional hug or touch on the arm.

The following day, he invited me on a day trip with him and two friends of his (a couple) and even planned the trip to a place I had mentioned I'd love to visit. Sadly, I ended up being unable to go because my credit card was stolen, but I wish I could have. A week later, he asked me to come out again for drinks after work. He had planned an entire evening for us, insisted on paying for everything & seemed much more affectionate this time. We spent hours together once again and the night culminated in him taking me back to the bar where we had first met and then, our first kiss. This whole time, he was the perfect gentleman... holding doors, taking my arm, intervening if harassment occurred on the street, etc. Things got a little heated on the last night between us, but he was always respectful and didn't carry the physical element further than I was comfortable with at the time. We kissed on the steps to my flat and that's the last time I saw him.

The next morning, he messaged me saying he wanted to see me again and asked me to dinner at his place, with champagne and homemade Italian. Once again, I had to decline, as my flight was leaving the following day and I had to pack all my stuff and move out of my flat. We keep in touch on Facebook now, but I feel like I'm getting mixed signals. (see part 2 in comments)

(continued from part 1 above) We always have lengthy messages, but sometimes several weeks will pass between his responses and I convince myself he's no longer interested/is over me/I should move on. But then he'll reply out of the blue and drop hints about how much we have in common or how he misses me, etc., or send me photos from his vacations, etc. The very first message he sent, he signed "with love", but I'm not sure if that's a cultural misunderstanding (English is not his mother tongue, he's from a Scandinavian country) or if it was a genuine attempt to reach out.

There's also quite a significant age difference of 10 years between us, which worries me. I don't want to be played for a fool, but as far as I know he's not married and never has been and is looking to settle down.

So.. sorry for the long post, but what are your thoughts? Can anyone enlighten me as to what could be going on/if we have a chance together? I want to make it work long-distance if it's really love, because I know I have feelings, but don't want to assume there's something between us if it's really not there after three dates.

thanks, all. xx

I don't believe in long distance relationships...but to each his own. 🤗 cyber hug!

Love,

Eva
I'm reluctant to do so, for obvious reasons, but I haven't met anyone in my immediate circles/city thus far and sometimes wonder if I ever will. There's not much in common there, so that precedent and the fact that he's a really great guy are the only reason I'd entertain this being LD.

Yeah sure, it definitely stands a chance if both of you are 'in love'. However, both need to make efforts to visit each other occasionally. I've seen it work in many couples 🙂

I agree.



LDR doesn't last long I notice, even if two people have already met and loved eachother and they have to be apart for a long time.

something happens. and if you are not with your loved one, the distance is too unbearable.

I just saw on the news that Lady Gaga and her fiancé, Cancer sun Taylor Kinney couldn't stay together but they are PENDING and maybe will get back together...

it was due to the LDR.

they are two ambitious people and they can't do it, due to the LDR back and forth and hardly seeing eachohter.

so you see....in the long run it will KILL you both.

Exactly! And she reminded us she and Taylor are human too. She asked we pray for their relationship to work out. I have (prayed for her and Taylor). I almost cried when I heard they broke off their engagement.

Cyber hug! 🤗

I'm curious to hear from a Leo's perspective. @wagtail do us the honors.
Unfortunately I haven't tried a long distance OR a Pisces 😕

Just from my personal perspective, Long distance is not really something I would consider.

A Leo needs constant physical playtime.

We thrive on the little things, like doing dishes together, sharing a blanket on the couch watching Netflix.

Holding hands in the car while driving to and from dates.

Spontaneously jumping in the shower with you in the morning 🙂

It seems more feasible to meh if there's a plan to get closer, sooner rather than later.

6 months LDR with a target of moving in together or at least same city is the only way I would consider it a worthwhile investment.

There are usually too many shiny toys right in front of uth I'm afraid

I was sad too, he sounds really wonderful, but they are two busy ambitious people. One has to make more sacrifices.



edit - weirdly she is pisces dominant and he has leo venus.... (so this couple applies)

so they couldn't do LDR even with five long years, without some sacrifice.
