Taurus Girl At a loss with LEO MAN!

Hi everyone, I'm a noob at this forum but would like to say that i've read many of your contributions and i think you are all awesome! Very honest, funny and supportive.

I'm at a loss re: a Leo man i met recently. I'd appreciate ANY help I can get!

I recently (5 mths ago) split up with a capricorn man after a long relationship because he cheated on me (twice). I'm now newly single and hooked on this sexy leo man! I'm not sure if it's due to me "lack of practice" or what but I have no idea what's going on!

here's the story: I met this leo guy at a coffee place and I have been in there a couple of times and we always had a little eye contact / smiling going on. One day, we happened to be in the line together and started chatting. Chemistry was great, attraction was mutual and might i add, AWESOME! and then we exchanged contacts.

We've been on pseudo dates, really chilled out, non-official hanging out thingies about 3-5 times but chat on IM quite abit.

As with all Leos... he's irresistable!

From my point of view, I think was very interested in me at first because he always initiated the meet ups and always initiated conversations on IM (major flirting going on!). I initiated convesations and meet ups as well after that.

We used to meet up/chat everyday, or every other day here and there, but he's not been quiet for about 5 days. He's a busy guy and I hate to seem needy so i hardly bug him, except just to say "hey how ur going" on IM. but he doesn't reply...

What's going on?!

LASTLY: any taureans in good relationships with leos?? I know bulls and lions are meant to be... but is it ever possible?

thanks in advance!!! =)

Hi newlysingletaurus! Well I'm an Aquarius with a Taurus rising so were sorta kindred hehe but leos need space and alot of it, the lack of response could be that he's simply doing his thing and he's not interested in giving you his time, also some leos tend to lavish alot of attention and then do a 360 degree turn either out of lack or interest or too keep you motivated in pursuing the friendship, yes they love to be chased and a little bit of wooing doesn't hurt, I'm dating a leo and he has those I just don't give a f*ck, I wanna be left alone moments, I have learned thru my leo friend that this is the time to pick up my pace and do things for me to counteract this attitude, this is a test to see if I have self esteem and self confidence, to see if I'm self reliant or needy and clingy, its vital that a woman have a healthy self image and healthy self esteem or the person is prey.

Its too soon to tell were your leos mindset is right now b/c you 2 jus met and haven't went beyond the surface, I say keep reaching out from time to time, not too often though, keep it light, FLIRT, TEASE, have a positive attitude which will show him your not phased by his behavior, say something sexy (hey baby) (mwah) or whatever your comfortable with and then disappear, he will want to chase you at some point, if he never responds back then you know he's done and has moved on and I also find that leos tend to pursue other things when they find someone of interest, they don't want to burn him or her out because they have huge amounts of energy to burn so they may focus on something or someone else for a bit but if your the one for him he will be back and pick up were you left off.

Oh and they can be visual so if you can take a really luring picture (no nudity) and post it up on your IM, the odds are better, always look your best and show him you have it going on.

Thanks for that tiki! That's really helpful.. although i feel a little rejected by him now. However, the practical side of me thinks that the truth always hurts.. so.. =P

But about your comment :
".... have learned thru my leo friend that this is the time to pick up my pace and do things for me to counteract this attitude, this is a test to see if I have self esteem and self confidence, to see if I'm self reliant or needy and clingy, its vital that a woman have a healthy self image and healthy self esteem or the person is prey...."

what do you mean when you say this is the time to pick up the pace? How do you counteract the attitude?

How do i show him that i'm still interested without looking needy?

Also... I've started to avoid that coffee place we frequent just so I wouldn't bump into him. All in an act to avoid looking like i'm stalking him!

last question: how long should i not contact him to give enough space? and how long should i wait before i send him off to the land of lost men? 😢 (which i'm dreading because he's so dreamy!!)

Thanks again hun!

Oh! and i forgot to add that whenever we went out, or talked on IM.. I was pleasantly surprised that he remembered everything I said about myself, or what i did during the week etc and also remembered little comments i made about him. Little things like how much I spent on my manicure, and that i collect vintage fashion. I remember because i didn't expect him to remember things like that since he totally looks like a guy whose got lotsa game.. and I didn't think i was interesting ENOUGH yet?! hehe.

Also, he would come hang out and watch me have dinner even when he's already had dinner... and we stay up to chat on IM till wee hours in the morning even though he's got work the next day.

But now he's totally MIA!

is that just a normal leo trait (all the attentiveness) only when he's interested?

Thanks again!

TG I pm'd you...hit me back soon (:

thanks! I've PMed back!

"....that is so not true. leo men do not need space any more than any other sign. it is a bunch of bull..."

--> hehe.. that's because i'm a taurus! =)

So you think there's no getting this one's interest back?

Hello all (newbie here) I agree with leokitten (maybe us leos just GET eachother)...there could be a number of things going on here 1) he might think he has you hooked too fast and has lost interest we lose interest VERY fast (im sorry not trying to be mean just trying to be real with you) 2) Like LEOKITTEN said, he don't need no dayum space lol (now if he was a sagittarius I would say YES he needs space for sure 3) It is possible (despite our confidence) he might feel a little intimidated by you (if you are all that and a bag of chips) and might want to see you chase him ..the flip side to that is (as leokitten said) as soon as you do he will lose interest and surely move on (i know thats a can't win for losing situation

My suggestion as a leo is to NOT CONTACT HIM, show him you are as fly and as confident in yourself as he is and you are NOT into chasing men....Within the next 2 weeks if he doesnt approach you, he's out there in the field playing and wasn't trying to take things any further from the beginning.

Hope I was helpful!! Best of luck..I know how sickening this can be... Also, do you know his birthday? I think the Lions in the latter half of August are way more arrogant than other Leos and they really have their asses on their shoulders...keep in touch...I'd like to know what happens here.. :=) But I am a woman before I am a Leo, if he dont want you YOU DONT NEED EM.

hi leodiva.. thanks for that! =)

his birthday is very very early august. does that make alot of difference?

yourwelcome taurus....oh kitten you are so raw lol...i agree with kitten but i DO feel that early/late august makes a difference....late august leos are worse to me than july/early august leos....actually they say every sign is like this: the early early ones (the month that starts before) like july with leos are the weakest point of the sign, the as you gradually go further in the sign the characterstics get stronger and stronger.....the end of the sign is usually the sign at its WORSE....I had to STRAIGHT curse a leo dude out that was like August 19th...somebody done told him wrong
