What exactly is this Leo guy doing?

Hi All, I'm currently being confused by behavior of a Leo guy and I hope you can help me figure it out. I'm an Aries by the way.

I came across this guy some months ago, at work, and since then he was very often just randomly talking to me, teasing, being friendly, asking questions and such. I didn't take it in any way serious. I don't see this guy very often, he's in a different department. Only about a month ago we ended up seriously getting to know each other, and since then we had a few long and rather personal conversations. His behavior towards me has totally got the attention of everyone around us. A lot of people have told me that this guy has a more than friendly interest in me. Recently one of my senior colleagues threw a pretty pointed comment at him about it (and somewhat funny) to which he only responded with a huge grin.

Since then I got curious and somewhat interested. I also tried to be a little more open and friendly with him. But the more I started paying close attention, the more I figured that it can't really be the case. When I come across him, sometimes he's very talkative, and sometimes he's completely focused on his work. We don't contact each other much, I've only ever texted him about work/specific things and same goes for him (with the exception that he once wrote me a pretty nice message for international women's day!). I think, if he was really interested, would he not communicate more often? Also as of recent, due to a change to his schedule I see him very seldom. In a text he mentioned the schedule change, and that he hoped to see me at some point anyway. A few days after that he was running after me in the street but then he just talked to me a couple of minutes and left.

Then a few days ago I had to contact him for his expertise. He replied right away and told me when and where we could meet, but then he also asked if I was sure he could help. He asked me what was going on, and when I explained the situation he said that he would gladly help me, but he's not sure what he could possibly do in this case since I'm more qualified on the topic than him (he sincerely thinks I am, I sincerely think I'm not!). And he finished with "anyway, looking forward". The point is, I get the feeling that if a guy is really interested in you, he would really cease the opportunity to meet you right? Specially if that happens rather seldom.

So, what do you guys think is going on? Am I being too sensitive? Is he or is he not intere

Aries, my soul twin! 😛 Growing up my best friend was an Aries and she and I were a force to be reckoned with!

Anyway - slow your roll a bit with him. Drop personal texts about help instead of about work. Or not even for help in general - just personal. Same thing if you bump into him.

Many times these days, guys aren't as likely to pursue work crushes without knowing for sure the other party is definitely interested in the same thing. There are many more barriers and consequences due to sexual harassment in the workplace.

Sometimes Aries don't realize how they're coming off (although I see you have noted you're trying to 🙂 ). Try to slow down your pace, words, and drop the work talk - and give a slow, easy and genuine smile.

Best of luck, Ram. It sounds like the Lion is interested in you - how could he NOT be?! 😉

Thanks a lot for your responses! 🙂

sheathedclaws: Thanks for your recommendations, I will try them and see what happens. 🙂 Yeah perhaps a tiny bit less professional air might be a good idea.

LeoVirgoGirl: Yup, I know that about Leos which is why I didn't take him seriously to start with. 🙂 He's generally a flirt I believe. But the thing is everyone knows that, and yet everyone seems to think his behavior towards me is somewhat "extreme". Then again... as I said, I believe someone with an interest would act with a bit more enthusiasm. We'll see I guess.
