Second time courting a August 1st leo and not sure if shes interested or not. She text me first every morning Good Morning then barely texts back after that. She works and in school so i get it she gets busy. I just thought when someone likes you especially a leo they always want to talk to you

We talked before and she was very responsive then but this time around i get a second chance to prove myself and its moving slow. Maybe on cautious side this time

I did say i wanted to take her out on a date but she has plans the next couple of weeks. She did say she'll figure something out and may be free one day before she leaves for her bday vacation.

So my question is does she just want the attention, is she interested or wants me to chase after her?


Well a few things. Leos are very busy people and we're very similar to Taurus when it comes to our workaholism. Even if we are interested in someone, if you're not close with us yet then prepare to take a backseat to our work obligations. That's not to say that Leos are always like that, but a Lep won't prioritize you until you grow closer.

You mentioned that you've talked to this Leo before and she was responsive. What happened then that you feel the need to "prove" yourself now? Just know that Leos like consistency and we have long memories. So if you acted one way before and act differently now, she won't readily forget that. As a result she's going to take her time observing you first (if she's still interested).

That all being said, this woman's interest in you doesn't seem to be very high at the moment. It's possible that it's because she's busy, it's possible that she wants to see if your interest in her is consistent. However when a woman is definitely interested, she will give more definite responses. Even if she's truly busy for the next couple of weeks, her counter offer would have been more concrete/enthusiastic. Stating that she "may be free one day" before she leaves for her birthday isn't an indication of high interest at all.

So my question is, what happened the first time you interacted with this Leo woman and why do you feel like this is your "second chance" with her?


At first she was giving me very short one word replies. I said something to her about it and then she gave me more detailed text.

Was talking to her and another female at the time and chose the other woman to be exclusive with. She was more intriguing and the vibe was better. Not saying the leos wasnt but other woman we just had that cant miss spark. I told her my move because i respected her and didnt want to just ghost her, she blew me off. I tried to get intouch with her months ago and she wasnt going for it.

She said rarely ever gives second chances and it better be a good one to be let back into her special world. Thats when she said her number never changed and we started communicating again

It's possible that she realized things weren't deep enough for her to have reacted the way she did. Again Leos are proud. Also second chances is a very rare thing, but not impossible in situations like these. It sounds like things were fairly casual before you went with the other woman.

One thing to know though is if you trying to win a Leo woman back, she must feel like she's number one in your eyes from here on out. The real question is, why do you want her in th first place? From what you said it sounds like you were pretty sure about the other woman? I ask this because she'll ask this. Leos want a partner with a strong resolve and who doesn't need to backtrack. So more than likely, she's going to see how you operate.

What happened before? Second chance why?

It’s hard for Leo’s to come back around but it’s not impossible. You have to earn your trust and love back especially if you screwed us over when all we did was care and put in the effort. At some point it’s like the roles reverse.


Basically was talking to her and another female at same time (being single) then i chose to exclusively date the other female. Instead if ghosting her i let her know my move necause i respected her and she caught an attitude and said lose my number. We only texted and talked a couple weeks nothing too serious.

She did say i was in the screening process now that i got her number again. Im sure i hurt her ego back then


Yeah the problem is that you're going to have a difficult time proving your genuine interest now. The Leo doesn't completely trust your intentions. Leos typically know our value in relationships. So when somenoe treats us like an option (especially a lesser option), we'll discard them just as easily as they discarded us. As a fixed sign there is rarely a middle ground with us. We are either in or we're out.

When you did have a shot with her, you went a different direction. Leos are proud creatures, so it's obvious you offended this Leo woman. If a Leo tells you, "lose my number" it usually means that we are done with you. In this Leo's mind she may be thinking that you're only going after because your initial desicion didn't work out. In a her mind, the choice should've been obvious to you the first time. In this case she doesn't want to validate your past behavior by giving you a second chance.

The next problem is, you're probably being toyed with at the moment. Leos are all about reciprocation, so you may be dealing with "an eye for an eye" situation. The Leo, feeling strung along by you in the past, may now be stringing you along. The only advantage you have at the moment is that you were at least honest in the past. This may not take you far in this scenario, but Leos do appreciate honest communication far more than being deceived. I honestly think that's the only reason she's communicating with you (that and you coming back is a boost to her ego).

My advice is to express consistent interest, but don't be needy. The Leo may just need to see that you aren't the type of flip flop (a trait we generally can't stand). If you're the type of Libra that is often indecisive, start working on that now. Leos can be very patient and accepting, but we will not tolerate a potential partner who is indecisive about us. Also actions speak louder than words (though words are also important). Basically don't think you're going to get close to her by just talking. Leo is a fire sign, which means we need to see your words backed up by actions.

If in a couple of weeks you still can't get this Leo to see you, then it may be time to cut your losses.


I know its a ego boost for her. I know how leos operate in some ways. Being strung along is something i was worried about. (Yea boost my ego then when im bored with you goodbye)

I know once i finally get her to give me the attention she once did i can finesse my way in, Not in a bad way though. Im the same way, talking gets old i want to physically see you! Thats why i brought up taking her old. 1, it shows my interest and 2 takes it to next step that im not wasting her time. Thats actually how i got her number again. Told her my actions will speak louder then my words because anyone can sell a dream.

Being indecisive about a woman i have eyes for not me. I have fans but if im eyeing you your the one i want and they dont matter. Im only indecisive about what food to eat.lol

Well then if you really want her, you'll need to be patient. Don't expect her to come around quickly. Leos put everything up front in the beginning, but if our advances are rejected, the second time won't be nearly as easy (if there is a second time). It's possible her interest is completely gone, but if it isn't she's now debating whether or not you're genuine or just toying with her.

Something about a leo woman that grabs my attention. This leo woman to be exact. I see the style and grace, confidence, independent plus the beauty. Getting to know her ill learn the finer details about her. Shes couple yrs older then me so mature. i know she wants to settle down as im ready also

The other women came and swept me off my feet but she wasnt golden like i thought. I learned from that. I dont have the female deck i had then. Im not into wasting anyones time or mine so im not entering multiple females how i did in past. If i dont see a purpose ill walk.

I don’t think she’s interested and honestly hopefully next time you take more time to make decisions since you did choose another girl at the end of the day...

So my question is does she just want the attention, is she interested or wants me to chase after her?


Well a few things. Leos are very busy people and we're very similar to Taurus when it comes to our workaholism. Even if we are interested in someone, if you're not close with us yet then prepare to take a backseat to our work obligations. That's not to say that Leos are always like that, but a Lep won't prioritize you until you grow closer.

You mentioned that you've talked to this Leo before and she was responsive. What happened then that you feel the need to "prove" yourself now? Just know that Leos like consistency and we have long memories. So if you acted one way before and act differently now, she won't readily forget that. As a result she's going to take her time observing you first (if she's still interested).

That all being said, this woman's interest in you doesn't seem to be very high at the moment. It's possible that it's because she's busy, it's possible that she wants to see if your interest in her is consistent. However when a woman is definitely interested, she will give more definite responses. Even if she's truly busy for the next couple of weeks, her counter offer would have been more concrete/enthusiastic. Stating that she "may be free one day" before she leaves for her birthday isn't an indication of high interest at all.

So my question is, what happened the first time you interacted with this Leo woman and why do you feel like this is your "second chance" with her?


At first she was giving me very short one word replies. I said something to her about it and then she gave me more detailed text.

Was talking to her and another female at the time and chose the other woman to be exclusive with. She was more intriguing and the vibe was better. Not saying the leos wasnt but other woman we just had that cant miss spark. I told her my move because i respected her and didnt want to just ghost her, she blew me off. I tried to get intouch with her months ago and she wasnt going for it.

She said rarely ever gives second chances and it better be a good one to be let back into her special world. Thats when she said her number never changed and we started communicating again


It's possible that she realized things weren't deep enough for her to have reacted the way she did. Again Leos are proud. Also second chances is a very rare thing, but not impossible in situations like these. It sounds like things were fairly casual before you went with the other woman.

One thing to know though is if you trying to win a Leo woman back, she must feel like she's number one in your eyes from here on out. The real question is, why do you want her in th first place? From what you said it sounds like you were pretty sure about the other woman? I ask this because she'll ask this. Leos want a partner with a strong resolve and who doesn't need to backtrack. So more than likely, she's going to see how you operate.


Something about a leo woman that grabs my attention. This leo woman to be exact. I see the style and grace, confidence, independent plus the beauty. Getting to know her ill learn the finer details about her. Shes couple yrs older then me so mature. i know she wants to settle down as im ready also

A lot of what you described about this Leo woman sounds like surface stuff. If you're going to reel a Leo in, you have to go beyond the superficial and get to the Leo at the core. This is why I asked, why do you want this Leo? style , grace, confidence, beauty, she knows she attracts men that way. She knows what she has and not she's wondering why she should give it to you. Leos tend to be aware of our positive traits, at least the traits everyone can easily see. If a Leo has had experiences in the past dealing with players and hookups, we'll stop caring about the glitz and look entirely for substance. Are you giving her substance when you talk to her?

As @MoonshineLeo stated, this may be a lost cause. If the Leo is catching an attitude while you're speaking with her, it's not a good sign.

Second time courting a August 1st leo and not sure if shes interested or not. She text me first every morning Good Morning then barely texts back after that. She works and in school so i get it she gets busy. I just thought when someone likes you especially a leo they always want to talk to you

We talked before and she was very responsive then but this time around i get a second chance to prove myself and its moving slow. Maybe on cautious side this time

I did say i wanted to take her out on a date but she has plans the next couple of weeks. She did say she'll figure something out and may be free one day before she leaves for her bday vacation.

So my question is does she just want the attention, is she interested or wants me to chase after her?


Well a few things. Leos are very busy people and we're very similar to Taurus when it comes to our workaholism. Even if we are interested in someone, if you're not close with us yet then prepare to take a backseat to our work obligations. That's not to say that Leos are always like that, but a Lep won't prioritize you until you grow closer.

You mentioned that you've talked to this Leo before and she was responsive. What happened then that you feel the need to "prove" yourself now? Just know that Leos like consistency and we have long memories. So if you acted one way before and act differently now, she won't readily forget that. As a result she's going to take her time observing you first (if she's still interested).

That all being said, this woman's interest in you doesn't seem to be very high at the moment. It's possible that it's because she's busy, it's possible that she wants to see if your interest in her is consistent. However when a woman is definitely interested, she will give more definite responses. Even if she's truly busy for the next couple of weeks, her counter offer would have been more concrete/enthusiastic. Stating that she "may be free one day" before she leaves for her birthday isn't an indication of high interest at all.

So my question is, what happened the first time you interacted with this Leo woman and why do you feel like this is your "second chance" with her?


At first she was giving me very short one word replies. I said something to her about it and then she gave me more detailed text.

Was talking to her and another female at the time and chose the other woman to be exclusive with. She was more intriguing and the vibe was better. Not saying the leos wasnt but other woman we just had that cant miss spark. I told her my move because i respected her and didnt want to just ghost her, she blew me off. I tried to get intouch with her months ago and she wasnt going for it.

She said rarely ever gives second chances and it better be a good one to be let back into her special world. Thats when she said her number never changed and we started communicating again


It's possible that she realized things weren't deep enough for her to have reacted the way she did. Again Leos are proud. Also second chances is a very rare thing, but not impossible in situations like these. It sounds like things were fairly casual before you went with the other woman.

One thing to know though is if you trying to win a Leo woman back, she must feel like she's number one in your eyes from here on out. The real question is, why do you want her in th first place? From what you said it sounds like you were pretty sure about the other woman? I ask this because she'll ask this. Leos want a partner with a strong resolve and who doesn't need to backtrack. So more than likely, she's going to see how you operate.


Something about a leo woman that grabs my attention. This leo woman to be exact. I see the style and grace, confidence, independent plus the beauty. Getting to know her ill learn the finer details about her. Shes couple yrs older then me so mature. i know she wants to settle down as im ready also

The other women came and swept me off my feet but she wasnt golden like i thought. I learned from that. I dont have the female deck i had then. Im not into wasting anyones time or mine so im not entering multiple females how i did in past. If i dont see a purpose ill walk.


A lot of what you described about this Leo woman sounds like surface stuff. If you're going to reel a Leo in, you have to go beyond the superficial and get to the Leo at the core. This is why I asked, why do you want this Leo? style , grace, confidence, beauty, she knows she attracts men that way. She knows what she has and not she's wondering why she should give it to you. Leos tend to be aware of our positive traits, at least the traits everyone can easily see. If a Leo has had experiences in the past dealing with players and hookups, we'll stop caring about the glitz and look entirely for substance. Are you giving her substance when you talk to her?

As @MoonshineLeo stated, this may be a lost cause. If the Leo is catching an attitude while you're speaking with her, it's not a good sign.

Was trying to find all the other stuff out but she wouldn't let me in. I do have substance and people love talking to me because of my conversations. We can talk for 3hrs and you wouldn't even realize it.

I never chase after woman but tried it for once. Yeah ill stick to my guns from now on. Energy you put out is what you get back.

If she lost respect for me because i was honest about my choices months ago instead of ghosting her all that says to me is i bruised her ego and she too prideful. Leo trait. My leo moon makes me feel the same way at times. Get over it! Im not stroking anyones ego and im sure i did this time with me wanting to come back. Theres more fish in the sea.

Leo Woman are very flirty but seem to get bored by most guys and quickly move on to somebody else.

Why is that? Do you want your partner to be very stimulating and entertaning? You gals love adventure and business.Or are most guys not like your ideal mate? I guess that a lot of people like you and want you, because

you are ver charismatic and not so much because they like you just the way you are?

While it's easy to state that this Leo woman is being "too prideful", Leos usually know our own value/worth and are looking for partners who truly see it as well. Likewise we simply don't tolerate being a secondary option. Choosing another woman you thought was solid, only to comeback afterward doesn't give the Leo woman confidence in your words. It is what it is.

Not that i wont chose her, the other woman had the looks, personality, goofy etc "perfect" . Come to find out as time went on she wanted a man to take care of her as if shes my child. Not happening.

Leos can be one of the harder sigsn to match with because each Leo can be very different. This is technically true for all zodiac signs, however Leos to be able to interact with everyone. This can be great for friendships/networking, but more difficult in relationships.

To understand the Leo woman you have to know a few things. First Leo women usually get a lot of attention, so don't expect them to be puddy in your hand because you looked at them. You are correct when you say that people like Leo women because of their charisma/beauty, but not because of what's inside. Leos often have to be careful about putting time into people who only see the superificial beauty.

Second Leo women are looking for the genuine article, someone who can both talk the talk and walk the walk. Actions speak louder than words, but words are not entirely unimportant to Leos either. A Leo woman needs to see that you're both a man of action AND a man of your word. A consistency in thought and deed is important when dealing with any Leo.

Lastly, a Leo woman wants a man who will be direct and confident with her, but more importantly she needs a man who understands her completely. A man who gets that while she can be very strong, she's still a human being with her own insecurties and desires. Shes wants a partner whose heart belongs to her alone, who she can also give her heart to in return. She needs a man who will adore her like a queen even with her faults, who she can also call her king.

It's actually not difficult, it's just about confidence, consistency, and truly getting to know her.

Met a leo guy (online) last summer, had to wait around 6 weeks to meet due to my work but when we did meet started dating. In the 6 weeks we were chatting he told me all about his (quite hillarious to me) sex antics which involved random sex with a man's wife whilst the husband was there at a festival etc! I really liked his honesty To be fair! But did worry he wouldn't ever be a one on one person after stuff like that—?

We got on well, he was lovely, so cuddly and sweet, sex was amazing. He had his bad points, always thinking he was right, dismissing things id say as crap etc but still we got on. I told him from the start that I was only into 2 people in a relationship (due to the above I've explained) and while we were together he would say how great it would feel if he could watch another man have sex with me....... I always said I couldn't understand how someone you care about you'd want that to happen but he said he just wanted to make sure I was fully sexually happy, which I told him he made me more than happy. Anyway he instigated that we were together and it was now a relationship so neither of us were in contact with anyone else, which I liked.

I was going through a pretty rough time at the time of dating and I was always the one who'd go to his (travelling 25mins) and he hardly came to mine, we saw each other really regular and this started to grate a bit (more so because of the hard time I was going through)

I ended up having a go about this via text and it was stupid really and in the end he told me that he was so sorry he couldn't be the man I wanted him to be and he wasn't good enough for me 😞 I was gutted as I didn't mean that at all and explained that to him.

We didn't see each other for a while and I got in touch, we ended up having sex and this has happened on and off for a while now. Last time was a couple of months ago and I crazily said "let's be friends with benefits" as he said he couldn't date me due to the feelings he had previously had and it all went tits up but he said no, he didn't want to do it. When we met up and had sex it was just like before, amazing but with cuddles, after staying over doing the usual couple stuff.

I saw him yesterday at a shop and said hi, smiled and went back to what I was doing.

I messaged him last night to say how lovely it was to see him, we got chatting and basically he wants to meet up next week..... for sex, I've told him I have way too many feelings for him to do this and reminded him I had offered this "fwb" only a couple of months ago and he said he didn't want to do it!!!!! He said he was pretty upset yesterday that I ignored him as he was going to stop and talk and I was gutted I'd made him feel that way and explained I hadn't meant to do that but after our last meeting thought he wanted nothing to do with me (after turning down Fwb and not being back in touch

He's adamant that he will talk me round and we will meet up next week but I'm saying I can't due to feelings and I'm worth more than a fb!!!!!

What's going on? Anyone help?

I think I did really upset him when we split as he had told me how much he thought of me and I was just in such a butter place I took it for granted and threw it away

Any going back? Or will he now just see me as a fb forever even though I've spilled how I feel??


Well I'm sure as you wrote this that you probably saw the red flags, but let's go through them just in case. The Leo basically told you who/what he was from the beginning and you essentially ignored it. You acknowledged the fact that he may not be the best person to date, but you went through with it anyway. From how you described this guy he was pretty selfish and majorly focused on sex, but not necessarily your emotional needs. If you're the one doing all of the work, why on earth would you want this guy back in a relationship?

Insisting that you have sex with another man and helping another woman cheat on her husband, doesn't sound like the type of guy who is looking for a deep monogamous relationship. While Leos want to sexually satisfy our partners as much as possible, we're not big into sharing our partners. A Leo guy who is open to sharing you, probably isn't terribly serious about you. However that's not to judge what gets other people off, to each their own. However it sounds as if you wanted one thing in the relationship and he was interested in another.

Another issue is that the Leo doesn't really go out of his way for you. It seems to be all about him. He thinks that he's always right and your always having to travel to him. It sounds as if he basically dictates every part of this situation. Leos can be controlling at times (depending on his/her own emotional maturity), but this is beyond. A Leo who truly cares about you will go out of their way for you. Leos are all about reciprocation and grand gestures when we love a person. If this guy doesn't make the effort to see you, it shows that you're not a priority.

Also if you express your feelings to someone and that winds up ending the relationship, that's a giant red flag. Yes, texting serious emotions is a faux pas and yes Leo guys aren't the best texters. HOWEVER, a Leo who truly cares about you won't stop the relationship because of this. If a Leo cares about you, we'll bridge the gap and make the effort. I think you knew deep down that having serious conversation with this Leo face to face was impossible (even though you saw each other frequently). If you can't be emotionally open with this man, why would you want to be with him?

Let's be honest, it sounds like the Leo is good in bed. He's a passionate lover, which is indeed a Leo trait (not to toot our collective horns). However a relationship needs MORE than just that. Sex and physicaly intimacy, while fun, will only take you so far. I think you got caught up in this Leo's passion and tried supplementing your emotional needs with the physical connection as a result. Do not do this. Never compromise your emotional needs for the sole benefit of another person. If you want a relationship built on emotional understanding and great sex, then go get it. Don't settle for someone who can't even figure out if they want you as a friend with benefitis.

That also brings me to my next point. If the Leo wasn't sure about being friends with benefitis with you, that's not a great sign either. Don't waste your time with someone who only seems to give you scraps. Figure out what you want ina guy and be firm on that. It sounds like you were just taking whatever the Leo was giving you.

Side note, what's your sign?

Quick question...

Do you get embarrassed if you cried or break down in front of someone?

A little back story (yes, I still talk and hang out with the leo...just as friends though). He seems to be going thru something...idk what exactly. Last weekend he said he woke up from a nap pissed off at the world and so he went out and got drunk. He texted me if he could come over (not in a trying to take it that route way) I told him that was fine. He came over and we talked and joked a little (I was trying to lighten the mood since he was pissed off). He seemed ok and he fell asleep on my couch but woke up and everything just started spilling out of him...he then tried to stop himself and he did. I told him to get that shit out and talk to me...keeping all that inside is toxic. I just listened but he broke down...started to cry. I just hugged him. He talked about a lot of things, his trust issues, how he is numb and just doesn't have any feelings in him because of his past relationships and other things...I won't get into. I felt so bad but I just listened and hugged him. He also mentioned again...he doesn't know why he is telling me all of this...he never tells anyone this stuff. He has other friends he can go to as well.

I already knew he had a tough life (and that's just by impression alone)...me and him are really similar... probably why we get a long so well. He then fell alseep again and the next day...he seemed a little weird. Idk if he was embarrassed or even remembered that he broke down (I didn't bring it up). Even though we don't know each other all that well...he still seems pretty comfortable to open up but maybe that was too much for him? We haven't spoke since..I want to ask him how he is doing but I don't want to bring all that shit up and I'm not sure if he is avoiding me because of it?!

He is def not the type to break down ...maybe by himself but def not in front of people...it would ruin his image (at least thats what I think he thinks) or he is embarrassed or he doesn't understand why he tells me all these things. Idk...I know I'll hear from him and I'm just giving him space to get his head right but just curious if you would avoid people if you broke down in front of them or told them all your shit or feel embarrassed? He's very plutonian for a Leo and I know plutonian people hate to feel vulnerable. I know I do.

I generally don't break down, but if I do, it's only in front of people who I truly trust. Even then, I still exude some semblance of stability, even when none exists. If a Leo opens up to you it's either because we trust you or because we are trying to connect with you. However Leos are also proud, so we don't open up easily. We are more inclined to keep our vulnerabilities to ourselves.

Everyone has their breaking point and even Leos need to talk. It's possible this Leo doesn't have anyone he can truly confide in, so he opened up to you. If you see him again, feel free to ask him if everything is ok. If he's a bit standoffish, don't take it personally. He's probably embarrassed. Just leave him be if that happens.

Do Leo's get angry if you forget their birthday?


That depends on whether or not you are an important person to the Leo. If you're dating a Leo and you forget his/her birthday, then yes the Leo may become upset. If you forgot the Leo's birthday, it also probably means that the Leo isn't very important to you. If that's the case, then consider that message delivered loud and clear.

Personally I recently had several people wish me a happy belated birthday and I didn't mind. It's the thought that counts. I also didn't lose sleep over the people who forgot my birthday. I'd rather focus on the people who genuinely care about me than those who can't be bothered.

When a Leo doesn't respond to your texts?



Im baffled with Leo men

They're annoying


What's your question exactly? Are you asking why a Leo doesn't respond to texts? Either because we are busy, indifferent, or upset. Leo men also aren't the big texters. Some are ok, but generally it's best to call/see a Leo if you want our attention. Texting is a waste of time.

Leo Woman are very flirty but seem to get bored by most guys and quickly move on to somebody else.

Why is that? Do you want your partner to be very stimulating and entertaning? You gals love adventure and business.Or are most guys not like your ideal mate? I guess that a lot of people like you and want you, because

you are ver charismatic and not so much because they like you just the way you are?




Leos can be one of the harder sigsn to match with because each Leo can be very different. This is technically true for all zodiac signs, however Leos to be able to interact with everyone. This can be great for friendships/networking, but more difficult in relationships.

To understand the Leo woman you have to know a few things. First Leo women usually get a lot of attention, so don't expect them to be puddy in your hand because you looked at them. You are correct when you say that people like Leo women because of their charisma/beauty, but not because of what's inside. Leos often have to be careful about putting time into people who only see the superificial beauty.

Second Leo women are looking for the genuine article, someone who can both talk the talk and walk the walk. Actions speak louder than words, but words are not entirely unimportant to Leos either. A Leo woman needs to see that you're both a man of action AND a man of your word. A consistency in thought and deed is important when dealing with any Leo.

Lastly, a Leo woman wants a man who will be direct and confident with her, but more importantly she needs a man who understands her completely. A man who gets that while she can be very strong, she's still a human being with her own insecurties and desires. Shes wants a partner whose heart belongs to her alone, who she can also give her heart to in return. She needs a man who will adore her like a queen even with her faults, who she can also call her king.

It's actually not difficult, it's just about confidence, consistency, and truly getting to know her.

That's kinda what I figured. Yeah, I don't think he has anyone to truly confide in either...he has friends but I get the impression they are more superficial than true friends even in his small circle. He doesn't trust anyone even me...which is bs, its obvious that he does trust me to an extent.

I'll just let him be though and see if he comes around if not...I'll contact him in a couple days to see how he is doing. Thanks @Chuckcem

My Leo man and I were really head over heels in love with each other. He said he had a crush on me since high school. He was very sure that I am the girl for him he even told his parents, friends, colleagues and everyone in our hometown knows about us. He was the sweetest, most loving, generous, kind hearted man ever. We already had a plan on when we will get married. He introduced me as his other half one time he brought me to his church- he's a Christian. So things we're really perfect. Even on monthsaries he will surprise me with gifts, flowers and cake. He's the man that every woman would want I never demanded anything because he will give it even before I asked. Things turned sour and he changed so we started to fight. Then the unexpected news came- I was pregnant. We both weren't ready so we argued and I said hurtful things I insulted him and I broke up with him. He was hurt I know. I was so hurt too I felt he abandoned me. He said he won't but he blamed me. We didn't contact each other for a week and then I was bleeding so I found out I had an ectopic pregnancy. I called him and he came to me he was there throughout my operation. I was thankful for him that he didn't leave me during those times but he was distant and cold. I told him I want us to work out our relationship. I told him I was sorry for breaking up with him it was Just because I was really hurt and depressed. But he said he loves me still but didn't want a relationship as of now. He has a lot of problems soon he will become jobless coz their company will close. So I agreed. We still communicate but I was a mess coz I miss the way we were especially the way he cares and loves me so I sent him a long email. He did not respond and it's almost a month now. I called him I asked how he was and he sounded okay. He said he can't be in a relationship with me because he was hurt and humiliated. He did not expect I told my friends and his family about what happened to us and he hates that. I know it is over. But I just can't get him out of my mind. Our relationship was once perfect even we have a little fight before. He was my true love. I don't know if I could get over him. I can feel he's moved on and here I am, depressed about the loss of my baby and the love of my life. Should I hold on to his words that may be someday when the time is right and everything is okay we will be back at each other's arms? If I call he would still answer but I stopped calling him. Our family especially on his side were very sad they are expecting we will get married. I am really depressed and sad.

Sorry to hear that things fell apart. There are a few questions here. First, how long were you two together? Also what happened specifically that made things go sour?

I'm assuming from your username that you're a Taurus. I can say that Leos handle breakups very similar to Tauruses. Knowing that, if he had insulted and broken up with you in the same way, how would you have taken it? Leos are extremely proud and protective of our hearts, so insulting and then breaking up with one is quick way to love them.

Like Tauruses, Leos can also see red when upset, the main difference is that Tauruses don't back off as quickly. This can be great when bonding, but terrible in a heated argument. There should alwsays be respect for the partner and the relationship during an argument. This is especially true with Leos since the only people who can truly hurt us are those closest to us. If we feel that the respect in our relationship has been compromised, we will shut down. This is what's called "The Leo Switch". We can go from extremely warm to dowrnight cold if pushed too far.

Basically it doesn't matter how much you love a Leo if you've taken things too far. Just because you're upset doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. Every Leo is different, but once you pass his/her limit, most Leos with any sense of self respect will back away. I say this as a Leo who personally likes Tauruses, but who's had to walk away from one in the past.

Granted there could be other things at play here, so details would help.

Are typical Leo men faithful?

I feel like in a way there is a lot of controversy regarding this topic... Leo is a Fixed sign which suggests they are loyal and faithful but on the other hand Leo thrives on attention and likes adventures (after all the 5th house is ruled by Leo)... perhaps not as much as Aries men do, but still. Some say they only cheat if they don't feel admired enough and don't get enough attention in general.

What are your views on this?


Leos are extremely faithful and loyal when we're in love. I myself have never cheated, nor will I ever cheat. I equate infidelity with weakness and cowardice. I see cheating as an act that is beneath me. I'd rather confront my partner and breakup before I cheat on them. At least then my honor/pride would remain in tact. That being said every sign has the ability to cheat.

Yes Leos love attention, but only immature Leos will seek negative outlets to get it. All Leos are looking for that one true love, that one person who we can share our massive hearts. We are looking for a king/queen who understands us totally. We aren't in love with the idea of love, but love itself. A love so pure that it's almost impossible because our expectation can be SO high.

Also understand that Leos can be insecure and we generally choose to hide our emotions to protect our hearts. So an unfaithful Leo is one who is insecure, seeking constant attention, and looking for love in all of the wrong ways. This Leo has settled for lust or physical love. This is because the Leo was probably hurt in the past and chose to never expose their heart again. A faithful Leo however will pour all of that energy into one person and not seek outside fulfillment.

When a Leo does find that "one" true love, we will hold them above all others. The only attention we need is from our mate.

How you explained this gave me much insight , it sounds just like my leo !!! He hide emotions to protect his heart because of being hurt in the past and that's why he won't fully let me in he's afraid of being hurt but I constantly showered him with love SMH I just don't get it.

Hey maybe someone can help me out. I’m a Taurus woman who met a Leo man a few months ago. The relationship was cool sometimes. We vibed but then I would get clingy and he would get mad. This eventually led him telling me that I needed to find someone else and him blocking my number (not instagram).. which btw he stalked. I still insisted on being clingy in hopes of him coming to his senses of realizing that I just cared a lot. But then I realized that it was a waste of time. So I blocked him on instagram. Another month rolls by and he texts me out of the blue from an unknown number saying “hey” ofc I asked who it was. When I found out I was polite but short. And the next day I just nicely asked him what he wanted bc I didn’t see any point of him making contact with me since he was so set on blocking me out of his life. When I asked the question he read the iMessage but never responded back. What gives with this Leo dude? Did I hurt his feelings by asking? Why come back around if I wasn’t what he wanted? Leo guys feel free to comment

From how it sounds if you only met the Leo a few months ago, it doesn't sounds as if there was much of a relationship here. As to why the Leo reached out after blocking you, he probably realized that he overreacted. It doesn't sound like things were serious enough to warrant blocking you in the first place even if you were being clingy. Blocking someone is a firm stance, so it's odd that he reached back out. My guess is, the Leo isn't all that serious about you, so he's popping in and out. Just leave him alone.
