Widowed Leo is coming in VERY strong HELP

Hi all. I haven't been in here for a long time but recently have a reason to. I met a Leo widowed with a teen daughter, online. Hes been a widow/er for 4 yrs. Not dated anyone since his late wife and just raised his kid and took care of his business. From the first connection via email (I sent to him) he has been so taken by me I'm not sure what to do (plus I kinda remind him of his late wife blonde etc) but rem I contacted him first. Anyway I'm a cancer and not easily into open affection so soon and we have not met yet as he lives 3 hrs away. I'm not used to returning lovey dovey sentimental messages until I deeply fall in love or am falling. He is not the pushy leo type I hear about - more of a tame pussycat. My big question is what if we continue this dialog (phone txt email) then meet and he or I are dissapointed somewhat then what? It's like a love affair before the affair. If I bear my heart b4 meeting as
does he I will be heartbroken as will he if our expectations are lowered at meeting. Plus he has a daughter who lost her mother at 8 to contend with. I like him so much as hes the man I would describe as my dream man. I've bern married n divorced b4. I'm not sure what to think of his affectionate ways. He asks if I'm thinking if him - am I ready to hsve a serious relationship again, that he can't stop staring at my photos etc etc like he beefs reassurance I'm into him and he won't get hurt again. He actually got emotional on the phone last week talking about his late wife. I asked if he is ready for love he said he truly is. I'm afraid to get so involved so quickly but don't want to hurt his feelings or lose a chance to be with him. I'm confused about what this Leo is wanting or needing in me when we hvnt met yet. Help!!!!! Btw we are both 48 y o.

First you must know, Leos LOVE falling in love...being in love...pretty much obssessed with love in general. it's what we do best. Be honest and tell him A LITTLE of what you're feeling. When a Leo has you in their sights, it's ONLY you. But drag it out too long without letting him know something...he will get frustrated and give up. We do put it all on the line very quickly when we like someone...problem is when it's not reciprocated, it hurts deeply because we exposed our hearts and feel rejected. BUT tread carefully Cancer, because we can be flaky too...very interested one moment...then bored the next and moving on......Always listen to your instinct...

Please, I wish I knew one... just one freaking single flaky Leo man. If a Leo man loses interest and runs, it doesn't mean he's flaky. He likely put his all in but couldn't get anything out of whatever union it was, so he chose to drift off quickly. That is not flakiness.

Plus, I am not flaky. The poster doesn't speak for all Leos seeing as she's only one Leo. I am not flaky, and I don't take kindly to being labeled as a flaky person.

Ofcourse it doesn't speak of all Leos...we CAN be flaky too.. CAN being the operative word. I agree with you that we tend to give our all. But sometimes, we want what we want when we want it and the kind of patience a Leo has to have with a Cancer is not one we're use needing to have. _— What I mean by "flaky" is sometimes we will be into a person because they are around and there is no one else that we're into at the moment. Since you're giving us the attention, we'll pay attention to you. I will admit to doing this...AND have seen some of my other Leo friends do it also. It's not like we're doing this on a conscious level...but we do it just the same.

I know my fellow Leo...I know. I don't want to be labeled as flaky either, which is why I made myself more aware if this down part of personality. I know I've left some people wide-eyed wondering "hey, wait a minute...what happened to us?"...Flaky doesn't fit in with my around "awesome-ness" image _— either. Seriously though, everyone has flaws and I've seen this in a few of us from time to time- glad you're one that don't! _??_

Leo is a fixed sign.

There is nothing flaky about fixed signs. Taurus, Scorpio and even Aquarius are hardly called flaky. Much less Leo (the Sun's full expression).

In fact, Leos have been blamed for holding on too long in relationships, and the boards are proof of it. If you do know a flaky Leo, please limit that to your experience. The astrological truth is that a Leo is NOT a mutable sign to mold to situations. Leo is a fixed sign. Limit your Leo experiences to those, before you bunch us all up into a bunch of bumbling unsettled people.

Plus, We are not We. You are You. You and your chart are unique.

Thank you.

I thought I made it clear earlier, that everyone is NOT the same. All I'm saying is those who have been on the receiving end of our attention when there was no real interest would see it differently. I digress.
