My Leo Man Said,

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Backstory: I've been lurking here for months & finally decided to sign up. My Leo man have only been dating for 2 months, but we met in November. I've never been with a Leo before, so I'm clueless. Besides a few minor disagreements (he likes to fuss about everything), we haven't had any problems. He's very sweet and romantic, and I reciprocate by showing him how much I like him as well.

Anyway, One night, after we had sex, my Leo Sun/Cancer Moon man asked, "You love me,don't you?" I hesitated because I was caught off guard. I wasn't expecting that. Even though I knew that I loved him, I wasn't sure of his feelings for me because we have only been dating a couple of months. When I hesitated, he said, "no, don't tell me. Don't say it." So, I told him that I like him a whole lot. Then he said, "I need you."

Does that mean he needs me in a opportunist/user type of way, or does he mean it like an 'I love you but I don't know if you love me' kind of way? No one has ever told me they needed me before. "I love you"- yes, but "I need you"- no.

I need as much insight as I can on Leo men because I am clueless, and he is VERY different than any other person I've been in a relationship with (in a crazy way). Please help!!

Sorry everyone, this is my first post. The title is supposed to say, "My Leo Man Said, I need you"

Leo with Cancer moon here. I know people are gonna disagree because I have my own way of seeing things, but 'need' is stronger and is basically a stripped down, poor man's definition of love. The latter is too abstract, it does not actually describe how a person feels. It's just pop-culture. You cannot misinterpret 'need'-- let's face it, when you love someone you NEED them.

And for furutre reference, when a guy asks you if you love them, it is probably because they love you. If they're just out to get their egos stroked they'll ask about their performance instead lol!

I really was caught off guard. I only hesitated for 1 whole second. Before I could say anything, he says, "don't say it. Don't tell me." I do love him, but because we've only been dating a couple of months, I assumed he didn't have as strong feelings for me. We use to see each other everyday, before our work schedules conflicted. I was just..........scared. Afraid of his response. Thanks for the tip though, because Leo Sun/Cancer Moon men aren't like the typical Leos I read about on here. Maybe I should tell him I love him when I see him again!

Yes they are! He had this cocky bravado in the beginning, so I didn't know just how sensitive they can be! Sensitive as hell!

Hello, Leo Male with a Virgo moon here, so not exactly just like the Leo you describe but if I say I need someone that means they are my every thought and my world. Sounds Like you made a kitten out of your lion, I'd say it's safe to say he definitely has fallen for you.

Well let me jump is as Leo female. If I asked someone that question that way, it means I am fairly sure they do love me but I want to be completely sure because I am going to lead into something important. I am guessing he realized he might have surprised but he is hoping and expecting you will say it one day.

When I say I need you, that's more than want you, more than like you and more than love you. It means you are part of me. There is room for you in my life. You are special and important to me. That is big. Saying I love you is only part of that.

If you love him, why not say it? if you are not ready, don't say it just because you think he wants to hear it. with a Leo, you have to back up what you say if he asks. case in point, my guy wanted to date me and had to give me ten reasons why I was a good prospect from his point of view, lol. so if you want to say it and feel good saying it, by all means do it, if not, figure out what you feel comfortable saying and say that. as long as it is true, he should be ok with it.

I told him last week that I loved him, but he didn't respond then. I said it in a funny way, so he made sure he heard me correctly. I repeated that I loved him. He still didn't respond with an, "I love you too," so I let it go. He calls me after I left later to explain myself. He wanted to know in what way did I love him. I told him that I loved him as a person; how sweet he is to me, how he treats my kids, how he treats me, how ambitious he is, and even the things that get on my nerves, etc. I let him know that I wasn't in love with him because we don't know each other well enough. He still didn't tell me that he loved me back. That hurt a little, but I kept it gangsta, of course.

On Friday night, we were chillin, and he kept asking me if I loved him. I said, "you know I do, but why do you keep asking me, if you don't tell me how you feel?" He then says, "*insert first name here*, I love you. You are a good woman."

We talked some more after that, and he opened his heart to me. He was telling me how everything is going so fast, and that he didn't expect it. I agreed. I didn't expect for things to happen this fast either, but it did, and I love it!

Thanks for everyone's advice. I was scared when I told him, and even more scared when he didn't respond the way I expected. However, I'm glad

that I did it!

I think I made my lion a little kitten!
