I'm wrapped in this beautiful conversation.... but

Hey everyone, neighborhood Aqua here... Without really going into long drawn out details I have acquired a female leo e-mail buddy. It's obvious that there's interest on both ends, and we've been having great intellectual conversation since early December but everything's been kept strictly to e-mail at this point. We have a good 10+ messages back and forth each week, however around Christmas/New years time she disappeared for a little over 2 weeks, I understand that..

I took my time in responding as I'm not at her beck and call and have things going on myself. The message went out less than a week later and she starts with "I thought I waited too long to reply last time and therefore you maybe just gave up on me. 😢 I will admit I was highly disappointed." The messages took off again and were flowing like usual and she stopped again at the beginning of last week up until today. Then starts the message with "hey there sorry it took so long for my response. I have been waiting for a moment to email back." My question comes down to is this some sort of dominance thing to see if someone is above the other? I halfway feel like I'm being led on a bit here to see if I will jump when she says jump. I haven't sent anything back and I am wondering if I need to wait it out for a length of time now in reciprocation or am I just being dumb?

Stop playing games you are starting, if you have time to respond to her when you receive an email then respond, if not then wait until you have got time. I'd imagine that's what she is doing. I get very busy, take on a lot and get wrapped up in what is going on at the moment for however long it takes. The only person I wouldn't leave hanging is an SO - even friends and family can wait a while for a response if i'm busy as my head will be completely elsewhere, you haven't met her yet and she isn't invested in you, if you do meet and things take off she will prioritise you.

If I disappear suddenly for 2 weeks, something else has my attention. I like shiny things. 😉

In other words, I have options.

Just enjoy it for what it's worth and try not to think it death. It's really not personal. In fact, it has nothing to do with you believe it or not.

If you like her, ride it out.

Thanks to you both!

Celticlioness: well put, I didn't even realize it that I am the one creating the games in my own sense however unintentional they may be.

I'm just going to roll with it and continue doing as I please and whatever happens happens and accept it either way. Thanks ladies! 🙂

GooGood Man, now go and ask her out before someone else takes her attention, you see how easily distracted we leo women can be 🙂

She is waiting for you to make the next move. Us Leos are very proud so while we will chase A BIT, we need some sort of sign. If I was that girl I would think, oh this isn't going anywhere, he hasn't asked to meet me. I deserve better than this. Sulk sulk sulk. Also - PAY COMPLIMENTS and she will roll over and purr. We re suckers for all that. Good luck!

I'd love to ask her out, however, she's in a relationship and it's not my place. This whole thing started off as a 'just friends' thing and I'm doing my best to not be that guy that tries to end/ruin a relationship or anything. She's implied more than a dozen times that what she has isn't working, and it needs to end, but until she ties up that loose end on her own terms I'm holding my place.

I'll update you when I get the next e-mail, I don't want to jump to any conclusions.

Leos also disappear during holidays to be with family or reflect near the ending of the year

Don't ask her out, if she's in a relationship that isn't going so well then she is needing attention and getting it from you. There's no good nor bad to this, its just what she needs at the moment. You're doing well, keep being friends but don't be a crutch for her.

Thanks Celtic!

Alright so the update I promised... She broke up with the guy she'd been seeing a couple weeks ago now, she's been flirty with me since early in the e-mails and I have progressively been inquiring further as of recently of her stance on things so that I don't end up making a fool of myself dreaming up something that isn't really there. There's no question about it that there is interest in both parties, however like I've mentioned we haven't met. We are to meet in March however, during our Spring Break, which I've chosen a very casual atmosphere and such, she's strictly wanting friendship right now and isn't looking to rush into anything to which I understand very well. We've discussed at length that ideally we'd like to find that person that you can develop a solid foundation of friendship and let it grow as it may into best friends, lovers, and more if that's what is meant to happen. The conversations we have are something I've never had and I've always had the desire for such mental stimulation so it's great to know that people like this do exist! If something develops to more than just being friends then great, and if not I am very content at this point just to have this individual in my life.

All sounding very good. Possibly as a Leo who understands her own physche she is aware how fast and hard she can fall so is being sensible in holding back a bit, encourage this and see where it all takes you. When is spring break? can't wait to hear if she is a wonderful in person as she is online 🙂

I didn't think of it being a possibility of her being one to fall for someone quickly, good call! I've been encouraging it 100% as it's equally what I want, I'd much rather know that we match on numerous levels than jump into more of a physical relationship without the intellectual bond that I need.. Spring break is mid March, so not too far away at all!

I only have a moment to give you guys an update but somehow we ended up meeting last week, obviously a good bit earlier than planned... To say that we have an interest for each other is an understatement and we both seemingly can't stop thinking about each other now, this conversation has turned into something I wasn't sure was really out there. 😄

Celticlioness: is it common for a leo woman to fall hard and fast for her partner?

sounding good so far🙂

yes, I do believe leo's fall hard and fast, but don't mistake that for meaning you have "got" her/him. Obviously relationsihp experience, level of maturity, venus placement as well of rest of chart(🙂) will dictate how a particular Leo deals with this, but to note, while (I believe) we do fall hard and fast and give a tremendous amount of affection, loyalty, genurosity during that initial space of time we can fall out hard and fast too.

Aqua man you have the intellect and conversational skills that will appeal to her, keep her stimulated as she will you, air and fire is lovely together, you take it slowly though, she is just out of a relationship, and while you two may be great together don't let her move faster than she should in this scenario, its likely to be a relationship that you both enjoy, and who knows how far that can take you.
