It means that he needs physical space from you. If a Leo tells you that, then he means it. Leos are not like some of the other signs who often need space intermittently. We're not easily smothered. Sure we like our freedom to do what we want, but we can also be around the people we like for long periods of time without any issues.

If a Leo man says he needs space it either means he's exhausted (mentally and/or physically) or he's stressed (possibly from work). He needs a moment to himself to recharge and get his affairs in order. We Leos tend to be busy people and are often juggling work, family, love, and our social lives constantly. While we do have a lot of energy to work with, we do need a rest from time to time.

It is also possible to smother a Leo if you've been coming on too strong while still becoming acquainted. As with any sign though, it all depends on the context that prompted the Leo to ask for space.

With some Leo's it doesn't matter how much time you give them it isn't enough time. You end up just stuck in the middle of them wanting to be with You, but never wanting to be around you. Like your just one of their many options of things they like. I'm not saying he is like that, I don't even know the guy. Just don't let yourself be someone's option, or let them keep you in the middle of their life rather then the front. Young Leo's tend to have commitment issues. Not all, but a decent handful.

uh it all depends. the context of the OP's words are not really detailed and waht's going on.

if i call someone 10x a day at his work and doesn't want to be bothered because he's in a meeting or with boss ect. whatever that is important that is disrespectful. unless it's emergency.

texting like what supes says is different cause he can just look at it later. i can text my man 100 x a day but he wont look at it till he's ready either.

To all Leo men, what do you mean when you say "I need space"?

I know all of us really need "me-time" sometimes but do you ever use those words to just basically told someone to get away from you?
@chuckcem pretty much hit the nail on the head with his first reply in this post, but if I say "I need space", then yeah, literally, I need some space before I plan my next move with you.

Hello Leo males in their 50s think šŸ¤” they’d have their stuff in order by now however having a lifelong of live in scenarios with multiple plenty women since their 20s..they told me bluntly about most of them incl marrying someone for a yR they didn’t lov just thought was a gd app dead at the time which of course turned into divorce

They came on to me šŸ˜† will nvr ever admit again

Very stereotypical constantly all women this all women that....I’m a 50 yr old Cap ...all women aren’t the same ..I find myself saying I’m not that galšŸ˜€šŸ˜€often smdh



Signs of horrible relationship experiences BUT DONT PUT THAT ON ME I’ve had bad experiences too...that’s y I’m single

Every since mentioning a relationship w a guy whose libido was off he’s withholding intimacy

We still talk

See each often and I’ve gone to all the family events met the best friends and all

Now he saying babe I’m not sure what’s wrong

It’s not you it’s me and it’s not always about u

He had said before he thought he was depressed because he should be in a better place to be the man he is supposed to be for me but can’t do it when his stuff ain’t straight

Playing me or no

Now he had no problem sharing at least 7 relationships details w me without me asking

but he honestly really could care less to hear about mines but then here comes the buts

I didn’t really want to tell him cause the one I. Did tell him about wen he can he stomps on the fact I dealt with whatever I was dealing. With but he had dealt w the same type of situation a few times lol

Guess he would have I had less tolerance



I can’t figure if he really interested

He still calls comes to visit I visit w him

He Doesn’t run the streets Doesn’t Spend lavish around Me When I’m w him we are w his Family or in the house Most times he s home in front of tv unless he’s one of best friends One of which is a female friends since they were teens now were 50

I met her too several times too

loves his different series on Netflix šŸ˜‚ although I’m not a tv guru he does always find the interesting shows then I’m hooked right now he s on the shameless series He will find another when done those lol



It’s been since Jan 2017. No valentines gif

Says holidays no big deal to him

Has never cut a turkey I’m wondering what kind of women he lived with Said they did all that He was jus there

A Leo who has nvr cut a turkey on thanksgiving

Head of the table right??

Idk

But he still calls often

NO SEX since I told him bout guy e libido problem

HE ASKED ME ā€œ wud u leave me mines didn’t work rightā€ I said of course not It’s you I’m into

When he he speaks money problems I REMIND him I like him for him

But I really wonder if I don’t turn him on sexually and in his eyes we r regular friends until he finds someone else

Or if he is jus trying to see if I d be there and not turn my back no matter what including sex

Many many ppl have said u don’t need this

U should be wined and dined

U should be here affection

Well since he realized he wasn’t getting a promotion THATS wen the affection stopped

PERIOD !!!

I have been told

Block the number

I have been told HE LIKES TOU but u gotta stand up for yourself DONT ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE

but then I see from the posts it’s good to be there if jus by phone when they need you

IF Y IGNORE THEM

PLAY THE DIFFERENT games. I don’t know how to play he ll get tired and walk away because he has choice

But he still calls

He was calling every morning for 7 months straight before I left for work

THAT HAS RECENTLY STIPPED well it’s been 4 days Ctfu lol šŸ˜† but it’s a change

Maybe it’s jus the depression like he told me

I mean wouldn’t it take a lot for a Leo to tell a woman he thinks he s depressed

Pls help me

I’ll stay around if he is into me

I have asked him about his interestsEven dug into it for about a week straight cause I was getting ready to run for fear of getting hurt

I’m a Capricorn 😢😢😢

I don’t feel like block number

I don’t feel like head gamsive never been that way and I don’t cheat

But seemingly that comes up often jokingly

I started going back to gym because he mentioned ā€œwhat’d u do before u met meā€

Unknowingly I’m not that gal

I was chilling šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ so if that’s a concern then he s concerned about nothing

But why stop the sex if we both groped moaned incl no limits.
