Leo Woman/Libra Man

Hello everyone, I have an issue regarding a current Libra male that is in my life.

It all started when we became lab partners at University. I had a boyfriend back then and we knew each other from highschool but had never previously interracted. My guy is the typical libra: well dressed, charming, flirty, the one to keep lots of women around then get bored really quickly ( 2-3 months by his saying). Before me and my bf even broke up I started noticing him spending tremendous amount of time with me, pointlessly as he had no reason to stick around our lab for, regardless of him having a fulltime job and a business he spent his days with me, trying to ask me out for coffee and just hangin around. By that time I knew he was after some chick who dd not seem interrested in him. We talked bout her, I always laughed it off, time went by.

Me and my bf broke up and that's when he started initiating more: asking me out at night, taking me on roadtrips and working with him, coming up to my place with small presents for coffee each morning, taking me to places he only took girlfriends too like on the hill next to our city by night to watch the sight etc. Truth is we get along perfectly. He comes from a Baptist family, is really nice and a gentleman in the truest meaning of the word, does not sleep around and is well mannered, we are both chemical engineers so we understand each others struggles and dreams and hopes, and share moral values.

Time went by and he kept hitting me up each day, meeting each day, talking, texting each day, all by his initiation. After a while I started noticing how he ( completely infatuated by the other girl) suddenly stopped mentioning her while I still saw them texting. Never asking about it i took it as it came, even noticing him ignorning her while out with me. Noting nothing sexual, not even a hug nothing happened between the two of us at that point he was just overly spending his time with me.

At one point he slipped and told me things were getting heated up with the other girl, and me, hearing that just got heartbroken: I didn't make a scene but am the type of person whose face says it all and then I notices my libra getting all surprized.. concerned, spent the whole day trying to improve my mood and make things right. The next day he asked me out to his small buisness to show me around and ended up telling me he didnt want a girlfriend who would hold him back from his passion, his businesses, someone who would not understand him ( previously, during the initial phases of our relationship kept telling me how the other girl was disapproving of his life style and was the type of woman that owuld controll him) and ended the conversation telling me he did not have time to foola round with girls, randomly.

After that incident things started happening, sex talks begun, hugs, kisses, even dry humping me in the lab begun, him confessing that he would sleep with me if thats all that he was after, that he was looking for a girlfriend just like me ( described me but never said it out clearly), joking around of us being together and most of all him keeping the other girl a complete secret ( as in hiding his phone, getting all stressed if i get to see hes chatting her up etc) and having random jealousy fits of other guys that hit on me.

We are constantly asking each other if the other is anrgy or mad about shit but now with the winter holidays saw each other less than usual. He seems strange, not in the ignores me completely but in the distant way.

I am curious: does he like me? Does he wante me over the other? Does he need reassurance that I'm into him? Or does he need to weigh in the next steps and that's making him distant.

Please, I am so tangled up in this guy it's not even funny anymore.

sincerely,

a terribly confused lioness
