Very confused about a Leo man

So, we've been texting for a couple of weeks...at first he was very, uhh, short and took forever to answer, but being an Aries, I couldn't let him get away that easily, I had a feeling about him.

After 2 days of not texting him, he text me, being way more talkative than before, and so the story went for the next few days and then he asked me on a date out to dinner for the next weekend.

Jump to a few days later, he texted me and was emptying out his heart, about what was going on in his life, and all the turmoil he was going through, then asked if I wanted to meet to talk.

I did, we ended up talking all night, and then he told me he loved me.............
I told him he didn't even know me to say that and he said he liked what he knew, and that I had a good heart.
We cuddled, and made out, and in the morning he dropped me off, kissed me and said love you, like we had been married for years.

I texted him the next day, and we had a short convo, and then he began talking like a fortune cookie. Saying things like we must learn to crawl before we walk, and one day at time.
I don't want to be overly crazy, and text him all the time because we shared a really great night together, but I don't know what to do.
He opened his heart to me, and I could feel all of his hurt, pain and passion.

I just need some advice.

Well, shit, is he in his 30's too? Maybe he's been around the block a few times, has been hurt like the rest of us, and is just protecting his probably sensitive heart. A little scared is all. Leos love hard, fall fast, and can get into trouble when impulsivity of emotion takes over. If he's not sensing the same level of intensity from you he might be worried. Probably doesn't want you to run off. Look at how you responded. It's all there.

He's in his late 20's (I look very young for my age and always seem to attract younger men), he does have a small daughter, and told me his mom left when he was 13, his ex just wants to party while he works long days and takes care of his daughter and he doesn't really talk to his sister.
I think he's desperate for love, and I would be willing to give it to him if I knew how to proceed.

I held him, I used soft and endearing positive words, I just don't know how to go about continuing.
I feel like if I text him I may be bothering him (but I feel that way about everyone anyway) even though he's never really given me a reason to feel that way. He kept telling me to trust him, but obviously it's hard to trust someone who you've just met.

Do Leos like to be chased? Lots of attention? I mean I know they do, so that's sort of a stupid question, but I hate to be the one who texts first. Should I wait for him? Or should I take charge?

You've texted for a few weeks and he's acting like this?

I guess I either don't understand 'texting' relationships or I take things emotionally slower. He sounds crazy.

I find that my tone lacks some tact tonight. Being an Aries (as I've been oh so close to many), I'm sure you understand that there is invisible sweetness in the last post I made 😛

lol, I completely understand, I've had other guys do the same, but I don't think he's crazy. I think he's a little misunderstood. We spent another night together, and while it was not as intense as the first, it was still pretty damn good. Lots of comfort, conversation, sharing and intimacy.

My husband is Leo and told me he loved me in the first week of dating, and he meant it. He joined himself to my hip, held on tight, and never let go. If you have a good feeling, stick with it. The fortune cookie talk, he is talking to himself...not to you.
He will be surprisingly open and if you arent used to that in a guy, it can take you back as many men are not this way.

My Leo needed some help and support, a "push" for lack of a better way of phrasing it, to get his life together. It took him time but with the love and support of a close relationship it could help him.

Best of luck, Leo's can be so loving and loyal.
Oh, and ps. stop texting, and meet in person or pick up the phone, you must see the eyes or hear the voice.
Adult relationships shouldnt be dealt with in text, beyond have a nice day or I love you.

I don't really know how Leos are with texting or calling but they seem like they veer away from that sort of thing. Every time I've been around him, he's ignored all calls and texts, but thankfully he still answers mine. He works a lot and although we only live 10 mins max apart, I find it easier to converse small everyday things with him now via text that we've met and spent generous time together.

I am however, a little confused. The second night we spent together was a little more tame, no more declarations of love, but still overall very nice and comforting. Now, is this normal? Should I be concerned that it has cooled already? Was it just a mood? Does this sort of thing come back? I don't want to create problems that aren't there, but I am a worrier by nature. I don't want to mess up in any way, because he is honestly the first person I've been attracted to and began to develop feelings for in literally years.

Well then that matters most. If you don't feel his intentions are anything but honest, then he must be meant to pursue. Consistency is important 🙂

I think my problem is patience, and when I like someone I want to talk to them all the time, but I guess I should cool myself, find something to do and pretend he's not on my mind 24/7.
I'm making myself sick analyzing and trying to decipher every little thing, basically psyching myself out, and overly worrying about what is probably nothing at all.

I just really need to breathe, now can anyone tell me how to do that? I apparently cannot take my own advice.

If you're honestly looking for a tool to help with that...

I've found the following practice to be the BEST tool. It's been a lifesaver at times for many people including myself. It's very good for anyone looking to improve their quality of life. I may seem a touch overzealous about this, I'm sure - but your last post just flashed me back into the time before I knew about Mindfulness, and that included daily anxiety attacks.

If you ever need to talk, discuss, or want an ear for listening - feel free to message me (:

I HATE feeling like this, having no control over anything, it's horrible. 99% of the time, I am completely fine with a bad mood here and there, but when I'm involved with someone, (which like I said is rare because I'm so picky), I get a little crazy. Not in the psycho way but like I worry constantly, think the worst, and something bad usually happens. I know it's most likely a self-fulfilling prophecy, but it seems unavoidable. Either that, or I have the worst luck in the world with love.

Anyway, that part had nothing to do with Leo, just me and my situation. I may take you up on that ear, talking to someone unbiased and unobjective could probably help in many ways.

On the Leo side, they aren't good with communication right? I know before we even met he was the exact same way so I have no idea why now I'm worried as opposed to then, maybe it was the I love you thing?

Also, I dunno if this matters, which I'm sure it does, his Venus is in Cancer, mine is in Aries.

Ugh you can't edit posts, I wanted to edit in our moons, his is Libra, Mine is Scorpio
