I've been the Leo in that situation before. Your patience was totally reasonable, but from his view you came off as only partly interested which likely made him feel only partly worthy.
He's not making plans because he doesn't want to gamble another hit to his ego. Like Scenic said you need to convince him, be assertive to show you mean 100% . Even just a text saying "I want to see you". He may respond with a short answer like "ok", that's a good sign so stay confident and set the time. If you can, wait to explain once you're in front of him.
If he shrugs you off after you put yourself out there, just walk away. He's gotta be quick with his emotions to handle a Gemini.

Tell him there was a miscommunication and that you are interested. Leos are scared of rejection. If he knows you're interested he will feel more comfortable expressing his feelings. I've stopped a lot of relationships from starting when I was younger because fear of rejection. I know it sounds stupid but that pride thing is a real bitch. If he still acts funny or wants to move too fast after you talk to him just move on he ain't worth it.

You're welcome! Sorry I just saw this. Have you heard anything from him?

Yeah he replied, but something seems off. The words were to the effect of "Sorry for the delay, I was trying to figure out if I should tell you about all the stuff I have been going through this summer. I'm pissed - not with you, with myself - things are just complicated. Let talk on the weekend or when you are in town."
He told me in the past he had been seeing a therapist, but I didn't ask more and he didn't offer, except I know he was trying to spend more time with his parents, he went to his high school reunion - he wanted to just work on a lot of "cobwebs"as he called them. I think this is actually an amazingly healthy thing, so I didn't really question or probe, just offered support and a sounding board if he should need it.
I mean wow talk about Leos loving drama. Just tell me already! If he's going to tell me there is an ex or an ex he still likes or he isn't over someone or the worst Ã'm not ready for a relationship" - and that is what it sounds like - I am officially going to give myself the green signal to get out and get out quick. You are either into a girl or not - its not that complicated.
Am I wrong to start to suspect something fishy here? He isn't the cheating kind as far as I know or can tell, very much a monogamous type - I've seen him go through 2-3 relationships over the 5-6 years we have known each other.
Wow, takes a lot to be this heartless. Dude was probably trying to spare you from being involved in his problems.
Then you take him and press him for a deadline to meet. So he lets you know it's not about you, just that he's dealing with something.
And your only concern is that he's not giving you a yes or no answer on your issue?
That's just cold blooded.click to expand

He definitely must be going through something. I would offer support and let him know he can talk to you. I would straight out ask him if he's seeing someone or if he needs to be alone. If you feel like he's just stringing you along and doesn't want to be direct just end it. Also, alot of Leos love grand love gestures and like you said "DRAMA" in love. Maybe he just wants to tell you his feelings in person. Do you think the "it's complicated" means he's seeing someone else?

His problem has a name, I imagine... like Jessica.
Sounds like he grabbed a rebound in this miscommunication.
Just a guess...
I'm pissed - not with you, with myself -
things are just complicated.
That made my eyebrow arch involuntarily.

LeoSunSagMoon, to be honest its not that I think he's seeing someone else, its that I'm trying not to think it (I have been stung before years ago). I am going to ask him outright if he is seeing someone else if he doesn't make it clear at the end of our meeting next week. I want to hear him out first. And as impatient as I am (Gemini gemini gemini!!) I do agree this is more of an in-person conversation. So I'll painfully do the waiting.. ugh. What is your experience as a Leo? Would you tell the person upfront or still meet them in person and then let them down gently?click to expand

Well It's not really similar to something I've experienced, but I definitely could not break up with someone over phone or text. That doesn't mean he's not interested. You were never officially exclusive right? Maybe he's just making you sweat it out because you hurt his pride and now he knows you're interested again. He also could just be going through some heavy personal stuff and needs to know you can handle it. Either way good luck!

When I said your issue, I was referring to self-interest.
You don't want to be taken for a fool, I get that - but 5-6 years you claim to be friends... and you can't just wait till the weekend to get his word on what's going on? That's what I mean by cold blooded. You're out for your own interests.
That's the thing about the dating game. Everyone's out for their own.

I'm also a little drunk so (thumbs up) no hard feelings. If I'd said "just let me sort things out and level with you at the weekend" and a 6 year friend goes "but what about ME" I'm going to be taken aback

If he is over you, just let go.
Even if not, let go.
Unless he chases after you, don't touch him with a pole.

The man is making excuses. He's saying things you can understand without offering that smidge more you need to know more and so get close. Don't even call him on the weekend. Don't get closer by his definition, but probably by yours. If he is friendly, be friendly too.
From the start, I told you don't even touch him with a barge pole. Why? Because now you're on his turf. This is his playing field, he has peed around it to mark his space.... Once you become a part of this space, you are no longer novelty or exotic. There's nothing new to arouse his interest.
So, don't be a part of his turf. Stand out like a well fattened gazelle and let him come to you.click to expand

Hmm I really only know one Virgo moon and she is super hard on herself. She usually isn't very open with her emotions because she doesn't like to burden anyone. She keeps so much bottled up! She is definitely forward though and would not lead anyone on.(I think) Hope he's like that and not just playing games! That's the only personal experience I have with a Virgo moon sorry wish I knew morekind of an interesting pair though. The signs couldn't be more different lol

Hope you are right - I want to believe there isn't someone else. I don't think a fling would bother me, we weren't exclusive, but an ex or a girlfriend..yeah that will be an end to this pretty damn quickly. Well not that different, he and I, my Moon/Merclick to expand

You were right. There was another girl. After he assumed I called it, he met someone else. He wanted to still be friends. I said no because it would be unfair to me and to the girl he is dating, but I promised to still be professional and wished him the best.
