Long distance love: need advice
As a person very familiar with Scandinavian culture and with a love of leos:
I'd say most Scandinavians are at least decent English speakers, but I would still not read a lot into the "with love" comment. Often when Scandinavians use the English language, they seem to exaggerate more than they do in their own languages, imo. When they write "awsome," they may mean "good." Things like that.
Another thing that strikes me differs between Scandinavian and American culture is that Americans seem to be A LOT fonder of LDRs than Scandinavians, in general. In fact, I have yet to meet a Scandinavian who is willing to do that, and I have met plenty.
This doesn't in any way mean that he didn't mean what he said in the text or that he doesn't want to be in a LDR with you. I'm merely informing you of my experiences and then you be the judge. You know him(at least slightly) - I don't.
The warning sign for me is his no-response periods. In my experience, a leo who wants you, lets you know and will absolutely not risk not contacting you. It may be the distance - him realizing that it's not going to work due to that, or something else. But if he was sure he wanted you and a relationship with you, long distance, even, he would be all over you.
This is just how I see it. Good luck to you!🙂

Must admit that I now remember that I actually do know a Scandinavian who has done a LDR, and with an American, no less. Hope it works out for you!🙂

Okay so I've been talking to this Leo guy for about a week online, he eventually asked me out but not directly.. He seemed kinda shy about it, idk if he asked me out as a "date" or just to "meet" type of thing.. So whatever we had been talking for a week
Okay, so i started seeing a Leo man about 2 months ago. He was very attentive, just as anyone would be who was excited to start hanging out. However, 4th of July weekend we hung out Thursday and Friday and had the best time. We were supposed to hang out o
As we all know leos have favorites or in other words someone can be more important than another in their life . So I was talking to my Leo male Bestfriend and asked who's the person closest to you and he said besides issy (his cousin that's he's known si
I have been dating with leo man for a month and he had to go back to his country because he has to fix anything (about job and family issues). For the past 3 months we were contacted really intens. Till last month he stop to talk to me and even not respon
So my Leo man and I had a fight where he called me babe twice and I replied "what " in a kinda harsh tone although I didn't mean anything. Few minutes later he came into the room so **** and angry he said " I called you babe twice and all you could say w
Okay so I'll try make this short (keyword: try)! So I have a leo boyfriend, we broke up for 2/3 months because he didn't want to be in a committed relationship, in that time this scorpio guy was always trying for my attention for months, i finally gave in
What are some reasons why a leo man would drive 4-6 hours to come see you other then they like you.. because he claims that he doesnt like you? I would say sex yes but leo said if he wanted sex it would have happened before I move away and he said its
What's the difference? Well, one has a penis and one has a vagina.
Well.... we havesomething between relationship and open relationship.....he was hot n cold all the time. when we are together he is always sweet and when we are apart hesometimes ignores me(not all the time...mainly after the days we sleep together ).
I was with a leo for 9 years. We were living together and I had a difficult year last year. Lost my job. We lost our apartment. And then my boyfriend decided the stress was too much and he left. He called me one day out of the blue and said he didn't love
Either way, not great. But the thing is, he didn't give me any bad vibes in person and normally, I'm very intuitive and overly analytical, so I've ended relationships and cut people off very quickly in the past if it doesn't "feel" right.
By "first message", I meant the first one I received after we parted ways, upon my arriving home, so after the in-person interaction. Just realized I didn't make that clear, but it probably doesn't make a difference.
Also, I'm a Pisces sun with Virgo moon and Gemini ascendant.
