why would a leo suddenly go semi-distant?

He flat out told me he's beyond attracted to me, then later went on to tell me I'm a dream girl from his perspective. I didn't even know he dug me like that so I was like cool.

I started being a bit more friendlier, I mean I was straight up ignoring him before, I didn't think he liked me lol. So now we start having actual conversations scattered about...he got sick and so that is obviously delaying in person contact but it feels odd now, almost like I'm reaching about a percent more than he is. Not too much, he still shows he's obviously very interested but it's not as super enthusiastically as it was in the jump.

Any clues in the sudden distance kind of feeling I'm getting?

Am I being an insecure Gemini?

Hmm

Was he drunk when he told you all that good stuff?


Also, if you're putting in more effort, then it stands to reason that it is not necessary for him to do so any longer.

You know? 🙂

You were running...he was chasing.

You stopped running...he stopped chasing.

Start running, he will start chasing....

Be sure you want to play this game.

Stands up and leaves my bill on the coffee table. You can pay me in compliments. It's my currency of choice.

Thanks for all the prompt honest replies I appreciate them all!! Well no he was sober but he said he just started being more open with his feelings the past couple months. We connect on a lot of intellect and spirituality.

Because I just got hurt by a past boyfriend I'm not as open as I used to be usually I'm the one confessing so perhaps I answered him incorrectly after he told me that?

He said he didn't want to make our friendship awkward and I told him it's not awkward I'm flattered and I think it made our friendship better. What else was I supposed to say "I have a super crush on you back"? Damn it usually I'm the one to do that!! - frustration -

Well I'm backing off and he still is active on my social media, liking random pictures etc. I guess I should wait for him to get over his pneumonia.

I just feel like for him to be sooo "into" me when he suggested we meditate together and I said okay when he says "possibly in the future sometime after I am no longer sick"..... like that doesn't exactly scream "I'm thrilled to see you again soon" lmao

i must admit that i'm not familiar with Leo male behavior but often if a Leo female clams up it's because she's not feeling well on the inside.

In general, a Leo will express if there's an issue.

And yeah, if he's sick, he will not want to chit-chat for certain.

Haha love you guys. Really. I'm silly of course I should give him time to feel better. Anyway, yesterday he began speaking to me more about hanging out of his own accord and was very forward and affectionate about how he felt about me. So I'm no longer reaching I'm relaxing 🙂 I'll keep you lions updated on how we progress over time!

Don't say we didn't tell you so 😉

Glad things are looking up

My father was a Leo and I married a Leo. I used to look at my dad as he was being horrible unkind to my mother or beating me unmercifully through his rage and think that he was so weak for not having the capacity to express himself better. I thought those were just the thoughts of a child who required a much tender approach to her missteps. As an adult I became a clinical psychologist and my adult opinion is that there is a huge weakness in a human being that requires that degree of attention from another person to be fulfilled.

You all continue to describe it as ego, pride and a whole lot of other words that are inaccurate. They are weak and insecure. Lying under the charm, leadership capabilities and care for children, exist the inability to maintain a solid lasting relationship with women. My father's last words to me were he wished someone would have helped him fix his issues. That was an impossible task in the 40's & 50's when he and my mother married. I was the only of my sibling who stood up to him and subsequently would be the only one of his children around to care for him while he was dying. He was the same angry mean man he was in his youth. Afraid of his inabilities with a great need to be accepted.

Among the women that my ex had in his life prior to me, he would give me the the title of the woman that broke the beast. My goal as his wife was not to break him but, he was suppose to never forget that his disrespectfully behavior, temper, and secret need to be comforted by other women would leave a lasting hole in his soul. While he could be quite dramatic. This time the curtain closed on him. Don't let the weaknesses of the Leo break you. They are breakable.
