Hey I met a cool guy awhile ago...he and I have been staying in contact with one another via texting and simple phone calls....he lives in another city(about 7 hours driving)...well I just saw him for the first time since we met and WOW. The chemsitry was simply amazing...hell it was to die for.
I had to keep remininding myself that this guy is just my friend and he hasnt made any commments on us being together or even dating at all. However, his actions speak volumes to me. I'm not one to hold onto a dream, but I do want to date this man romanticly...One day...
He Leo...Me Aqua...any suggestions?
Other than coming right out and saying "Hey I want to date you romanticly"...I have to use more tact than that, although I rarely use tact for anything.
"And it was my fault, since I ruined the friendship with him, by not being able to keep those feelings inside, while trying to keep a normal friendship going."
Please elaborate for me....
oh and should I keep my feelings inside, hidden..you know just remain the same aloof but yet friendly Aqua??
And what I meant by holding onto a dream is i dont want to look too far into this friendship and end up with my feelings hurt...
You guys are right about trying to not hurt his feelings....that will be very hard to do because I dont have a problem telling it like it is...I say the things that people only think. However with age comes wisdom...
I've dated a few Leo women, and I must admit that they are among my favorites. Usually it doesn't work out but it's definitely alot of fun. I swear there is this thing where their parts commmunicate with mine in some weird manner of buzzing and humming. Ezra Pound once wrote a poem called "Tame Cat." I think he knows what I mean when he says:
"the purring of the invisible antennae is both stimulating and delightful."
I've dated a Leo man before...it was great until he figured that I was a very strong-willed, independent woman...he really didnt like that. So he would play mind games to break me...he actually wanted to make me cry and he achieved his goal a few times. The sex was alright, mostly because I wasnt feeling him as much as he was into me.
Another thing that would bother me about him was his insecurity...he would go through my phone..and dont let it ring past 9pm, he wants...excuse me he NEEDS to know who in the hell is calling me at this hour.
He would also throw me off by saying that we were together as in a relationship then later on he would introduce me as his friend...which wasnt a problem...more like a relief!
The straw that broke the camels back was when he tried to ruin my birthday by being rude and uncaring towards me....I left him and didnt look back.
Starchild if your leo isn't telling you he wants more by now then he's not that into you as a girlfriend, I read your other post and I saw a lot of myself in you and it reminded me when I first met my leo, now I know your saying it feels good and it feels like he is totally into me but I must say my leo was on it and in it day one, if your leo isn't pushing then he's playing so you have to disconnect from him, meaning ease up on the communication and use the i'm busy method when he's in town so he can feel the yearning of the space you have put between the 2 which will nudge him into opening up and telling you his intentions.
This combo is a bit difficult, jus remember don't be a doormat (not saying you are one) but I can say too much opposing can kill the relationship (total opposites=opposing)sometimes you have to create the illusion of FIRE within you which will keep him close to you, although your a water bearer please read and study up on other female fire signs so you won't get stuck in a rut.
he will play a lot of mind games with you (mind games is not really mind games) its his way of being and communicating but to others it feels and seems like games... he will show out in front of people, selfish selfish sign.....create YOUR boundaries early on, if you see him misbehaving you will not have to check him with words, let your ACTIONS speak, remove yourself from his presence, the more you let this sign get away with the more he will test your patience down the road. Like right now you KNOW you like him as more than a friend, you are being very passive, leos love to play and have fun, your jus another toy so its time to pick up and be aggressive, again study fire signs...they are action oriented beings.
The more you interact via text, phone your creating a mental connection, Aquas love through mental, remember this will be hard to break if at some point he decides not to pursue something more you will walk away hurt.
Leo men hate boundaries and rules but you must set up a few so you can know what the hell is going on with this guy emotionally and know his intent towards you, don't fall in the cracks with the other women he's seeing (you know he's seeing other women right??) so find ways to set yourself apart from them.
"Another thing that would bother me about him was his insecurity...he would go through my phone..and dont let it ring past 9pm, he wants...excuse me he NEEDS to know who in the hell is calling me at this hour."...
I was speaking on a previous relationship I had with a Leo guy about a year ago.
The guy now doesnt do this. He and I are just friends...but I would like to be more than just friends with him...but I dont want to scare him away by being "different"...obviously he likes the fact that I dont call him all the damn time and that I dont send him text all the damn time...because he keeps coming back for more....now since we have had a chance to spend time with one another, I thnk that thngs might change....Im not sure how they will change, maybe for the better maybe for the worse.
He's a busy, busy man...he's got women throwing themselves at him all day every day(literally)...but he keeps texting and calling me....I thnk its because I treat him like an average Joe...maybe he appreciates it? I dont know. Another thing is he made a comment about me staying with him in the country...he told me that I didnt have to go home...I dont want to look too deeply into that though...
Tiki33.... Thanks a bunch for, umm...keeping it real!
I do think that he may be afraid to move too fast with me because Im very vocal...especially when I wasnt feeling him the way that I am now. I would tell him about the other guys that I dated and what I hated about them...most of my guy friends call me a man-eater...I dont thnk that I am, but I dont play the radio when it comes to my feelings.
Now I dont initiate phone calls/or text...thats ALL him...early in the morning he'll text me wake up...or call me to wake me up. Call me just to check up on me and thangs like that.
I left his town on Monday and I havent called him or texted him except to thank him for the lovely trip....thats it.
While I was in town, I did notice that I would def. have to set myself apart from the other women in his life...the best way for me to do that (over the weekend) was to remain aloof, but witty, and drop dead gorgeous when we stepped out on the town.
Simply put, I am my OWN competition...not really worried about another woman...just want to know the proper way to communicate with a Leo man without hurting his feelings or without me appearing desperate to him...because sometimes I can become clingy...and needy...I havent shown him that in me though...and I dont plan on it.
Im not sure if youve ever seen Talladega Nights?...but there was a scene in the movie where the guy who drives the race car was out with him family and his estranged father was there as well....the moment was perfect, but the father had to do SOMETHING to mess up the night...
My guy friend made an attempt to do the same thing...it didnt work though.
Oh and this isnt the first time he's tried to get me down to the country to visit with him...only this time he sounded sooo sexxy when he told me that I need to find a flight for the next day...I love a man that takes the lead...Oh and he invited me down after I told him that I was having a bad day at work...thats when he told me to find flight for the next day...
I had to keep remininding myself that this guy is just my friend and he hasnt made any commments on us being together or even dating at all. However, his actions speak volumes to me. I'm not one to hold onto a dream, but I do want to date this man romanticly...One day...
