Not Affectionate Leo Man

I have been dating this Leo guy 7/30 for two years. We broke up for 4 months (his Choice) Said he got scared but came back to me.
Every thing has been ok. It seems like I keep having the same talk with this guy about him not being affectionate enough. I used to feel this way before the breakup. So when we got back together, I told him that him being affectionate makes me feel loved and special. Just being sweet, holding my hand, giving me a kiss on the cheek from time to time.
I always seem to be the one reaching for him his hand. The other night we went to the movies. He sat next to me with his arms folded.
When I have mentioned his closed off behavior, his reply is "I didn't think I was being that way, sorry. I will try not to do that"
What can I do at this point?

How much Virgo in his chart?

Not much you can do to actually CHANGE a person. :/

I married a Leo man and it was a HUGE mistake on my part. My ex husband meant well, but our ways of feeling appreciated were completely different. He needed his ego stroked with complacency regarding his decisions, etc. He needed to know that he was right or on the right track or doing things right. Confirmation of his decisions. I needed affection. It wasn't that he wasn't affectionate at all, but since it completely went over my head how much I would have had to become like someone else to be a good partner to him, the cycle was that we both felt unappreciated. In fact, he would withdraw affection in order to get back at me when he felt slighted. Sometimes people just can't make it work. I have a co-worker with Leo Father, Pisces Mother and she said that she's amazed that they stayed together. I know it was a HUGE challenge for me and my ex. We're still friends and until this very day, he gushes when we talk. I have a very...tender feeling (but non-romantic) towards him. I think that those feelings will ALWAYS exist between us, but we were not meant to share a life together.

LMFAO ... Did u actually read the whole thread? .. or judging superficially from the title? u really made me laugh, but its good u posted it here anyway for the OP to chevk bec. theres definitely something going kn with her man... she needs to ask him subtly again.. I noticed Leos dont like to complain or show hurt, but their actions show it anyway even if they dont realize it themselves .. mom is also a leo

I read and commented several times ... or didn't you read it?

I have tried to gently tell him I would like him to be more affectionate and his response it "I will try"
I know I can't ask any more from him.
And I really don't want to have to beg for someone's love and attention. He said that just cause he isn't always that way doesn't mean anything.
Things are just recently back together, I think we should be in the CourtShip phase.
We are going on a trip this weekend. Gonna see how it goes.

goodluck ... keep us posted!

Thanks TxOgal. I will.
I am nervous about the trip we are going on this weekend. Really feel like it could a turning point for us.
