Leo and Aquarius, Its a little bit funny this feeling inside.
The feeling of funny is more like awkward.
As a typical Leo I seem to get along very well with Aquarius and have had a string of Aquarius best buds in my lifetime both women and men. They are supposed to be our opposites but we always spend all our time intrigued with the other laughing and talking sort of like with Gemini.
Recently I have noticed that my Aquarian male counterparts have been attracted to me, something...as a typical Leo I have been oblivious to. See leos need a person to yell I LOVE YOU from a top of a mountain ready to take a bullet for them sometimes to realize someone even remotely likes them. I repeat, likes, NOT ATTRACTED...of course we are full of ourselves and women men grandmas dogs cats everyone is attracted naturally.
However...every time I have an encounter with an Aquarius that declares their crush on me or likes me. I get very very weirded out. Even though I enjoy their company to the fullest and they are completely perfect.
Recently, I have been with an Aquarius that I do not even know what his deal is, whether he likes me or not. We are friends, we had an encounter ( of the naughty kind) ...and I do not even know if I am interested...Once again... I am slightly attracted but weirded out. I try to be friendly and contact and he does the same but blows me off. He did it a couple of times before the encounter and its partly what turns me off. He has told others he wants me to contact him, but I really...really... do not feel like it.
In your opinion does Leo and Aquarius work? Why are Aquas attracted to Leos? (It is something I even noticed with some long time female buds that crushed over Leo guys) And do they always try to be friends with you for long periods of time to get with you? (because I think that is the thing that weird me out the most I feel cheated into something I did not initially agree on and felt planned and imposed upon. but maybe its the whole leo control thing.)
haha...i don't even know where to begin with this; there was so much pomposity in your post! And that says a lot coming from a fellow Leo (which is why I "haha'ed" you at the beginning!) But to answer your questions:
1) I do think Leos and Aquarius can work. But there has to be a willingness to compromise and really understand one another (which is necessary in any relationship).
2) I think Aquas and Leos are attracted to each other because like attracts like (even though they're opposites). When astrologers use the word "oppostites" to describe any opposing signs in the Zodiac, they mean in the sense of two opposite sides to the same exact coin. Leos and Aquas are the same at a core level. That is what is so intriguing, it's like looking in the mirror..."finally, someone that understands me." However, that core level sameness is also what makes it so difficult, as Leos and Aquas tend to speak two different languages while saying the same exact thing. There is a bit of fascination here, and because these are two willful and enduring signs; they tend to come back to each other time and time again (whether it be the same person, or a different person with the same/opposing sign). Bottom line, there's much to be learned from the other, and the initial challenge makes it fun while it lasts (it usually ends when one or the other simply gives up and moves on to something "easier."
3) Yes...friendship is the most important thing to Aquas, but should be in any relationship. There's got to be some kind of base or foundation. The frustration is that it takes Aquas a very very very long time before they decide to commit to someone, and it's because they do so wholeheartedly. They want the friend that gets them and knows how to deal with their complexity before calling them anything more (nothing wrong with that). But their "slowness," is the problem; as you said above, it's almost like you feel "cheated into something," or "imposed upon." Well, that's part of the game that Aquas play. It's like they are leading you on (though they're not...they really do like you), and will lay it on thick until you react. con.
It's a test, you see. If you react with rejection...they'll leave you alone. If you react with "do you like me...what are we..." haha...they'll leave you alone. If you continue to be oblivious and aloof...they will become hooked. But even after that...they still have to lead. It's tricky. But if you really really like the Aqua, you go with the flow. I can understand why it may weird you out. And hopefully you'll figure out why after reading this post. But if you do like the guy...continue to go along with it. It's ok that you're unsure, because so is he! Allow him to feel like he's in control, and continue to be yourself.
Good luck. Keep us posted!
Lol, the Leo I liked (he also liked me) said he was interested in me because I pulled him up on his crap.
he did the same to me. It was a bit tense at times but it was an exciting tense. We never yelled at each other but we'd both tell each other where to go when one of us was being a diva.
If I asked him to come over he wouldn't, he'd have some excuse.
If he asked to come over I'd not always let him because i didn't feel like company. I'd tell him I was taking a bath and he was fueled by my indifference.
I stopped asking him or inviting him at all after a short time and he'd just turn up 5 or 6 nights a week. That was fine by me, he was great company.
In the end he was hooked because he said he respected my independence and refusal to kiss his backside.
He was guarded but interested and never fully revealed how he felt, only hinted at it. We played this game for months.
It died a natural death from lack of communication but it was never going to be serious. the whole thing was bizarre really but I enjoyed him for the most part.
As an Aqua I'd have been happy for him to tell me what was in his head but I didn't push for it, we just went with the flow. If he'd have come at me guns blazing with flowers and chocolate and stuff, I;d have run a mile, I like a slow drawn out romantic time, not all the eggs in one basket in 5 minutes. It takes time for us to "examine" you and decide whether we're connected deep enough to go the next step.
I have a feeling that it's because I didn't yell out "I love you" he liked the challenge. he never heard it, i didn't feel that way, but he never got upset about it either, which suited me fine.
I'd be friends with someone for quite some time if i wanted more down the track - but only if the friendship was healthy.

NZAqua, i've read about aquas 'testing' people. Exactly what sort of 'tests' lol do you guys do?? and for how long do you test people out?
i could not bring myself to tell the leo guy i was seeing he was being a douche alot of the time.....I would cringe when he would talk himself up
Fiesty come on!! this board is to share, SECRETS included haha. if you share yours, i'll share mine Winking lol
find a cap man. lol.
Just recently had a strange affair with a leo man. I'm not the kind of aqua who is afraid to commit. I decide what I want right away (I reserve the right to change my mind just as fast). There was a lot of attraction, but it was just weird. Maybe I was weirding him out and that's why it all went wrong. I don't know. I know this aqua-girl will be staying away from these cats. I don't have the patience for the level of attention and ego stroking this would require. We make great friends and have oodles of fun and totally get each other but attempting a relationship was a bad idea. I can't deny the attraction though.
