Posted by ChanelLucAs you've already admitted he has a extremely time consuming schedule, so why would you doubt how "busy" he is? A busy Leo will have a lot of on our plate and it can be difficult to maintain romantic relationships when we are in serious work mode. Leos are like Tauruses in that we can become workaholics. When that happens we tend to put other things on hold.
@Chuckcem That's exactly what happened...I got so accustomed to his will to communicate that when he suddenly didn't, I become concerned. However, after we spoke he said he wants to be in a relationship with me, he wants to be my man, but he can't at the moment due to his "busy" schedule. To me, that sounds like loads of BS but I like to give the benefit of the doubt and try to see things from another persons perspective/ insight. He does have an extremely time consuming schedule. But, I'm the romantic type that if you truly have feelings for someone, you figure out a way to keep them in your life. Any insight, I completely appreciate. Truly, thank you for taking the time to reply to my message.
Posted by Chuckcemi'm in a similar boat kind of
So the only argument was about the fact that he hadn't called or text you in 3 days? Was that the only argument? Also what was so important that you needed to get his immediate advice?
It sounds like you became accustomed to the Leo's constant communication and became concerned when he backed off.

Posted by Supesin this case,
The problem with us Leos is that we go and go and go until we exhaust ourselves. When this happens, we become cranky and need some recharge time.
If he’s already super busy with work and trying to date you on top of it, then he’s prob exhausted on several levels.
When people are exhausted they don’t think clearly.
This is no excuse for pushing you away. He just needed to communicate his level of exhaustion BEFORE shutting down

To put it simply, the Leo doesn't have enough time to focus on a relationship. Since his lack of communication has apparently upset you, the Leo is backing off. He knows that he can't give you the constant attention that you appear to be asking for him. The pressure of that has inspired him to end things with you.click to expand
Posted by saweetz1988Leos will indulge to relieve stress. That could be mean an excess of drinking, eating, etc. However some Leos will replace their vices with something more productive like an activity, hobby, or physical fitness.Posted by ChuckcemLeos are like Tauruses in that we can become workaholics.

Posted by Cancervirgo15degreesAre you a cancer ? Another cancer and Leo couple?
I can only speak from experience to the one leo o ever been with and am currently with.
He told me a lot of not so nice things about himself and how he acted when he was younger. He told me a lot of mistakes he made.
He is much more grounded and mature now.
When we started dating he made a tremendous amount of effort to come and see me as we were in a long distance relationship. He owns multiple businesses and had a demanding career. But his exact words when i said he was so busy and should focus on his life more were "life is short and i already fucked up love once and im not letting it out of my sight a second time"
It sounds like your leo is how they describe 'an unevolved leo"
I just dont think he sounds ready![]()
Posted by ChanelLucSo the first thing to know is that women actually decide the pace of the relationship, while guys initiate. If you're expecting a guy to handle the pacing then you run the risk of having things run too slow, too fast, or not at all. That's because guys aren't focused on emotional bonding as much. Instead we're designed to change the pace by shaking things up (setting dates, pushing boundaries, etc). If he's expected to control the pacing, just know that the relationship will only move along his schedule and halt when he's preoccupied.
@Chuckcem
So here's the thing, I don't doubt that he's busy. However, I've always let him be the one to establish the pace of the "relationship". When he suddenly went MIA, obviously any person would think something is up. We've spoken since and as you say, he has backed off because I was upset of his lack of communication. Had he just been clear that there was no issue between us, I would've trusted it and not been demanding of his time. I now understand his need for distance. Here's the thing, I don't at all need constant attention. I never asked for such nor would I because I run a business of my own. I just need a clear key of communication. Meaning, Hey babe, think of you, I'll talk to you when I can. Not, 4 days of suddenly not speaking. He says he wants to be in a relationship, but can't give me the time. I've expressed the understanding to his needs. However, he wants to still build with me. Care to shed some light on what that means? haha Your advice seems to run parallel to his thoughts and I could really use your great insight.
I guess I'm confused... He says, he wants a relationship with ME but can't at the moment. However, wants to still be physical and build together. (build towards what if not a relationship?) When I brought up the question of exclusivity he says, I never mentioned anyone else. So I expressed okay, so we'd be "dating" with no title but are "exclusive towards the other" and then says he needs to think about it? His ways of expression is just foggy. Help, I need some light... haha Thank You @Chuckcem, honestly. You've given me some new perspectives to consider and think about. So appreciate you.
Posted by ChanelLucBasically state what's on your mind. Let him know how much you cherished his messages. With Leos we sometimes assume that the little things we do aren't being appreciated, unless we're told otherwise. Unless you vocalized your appreciation of these messages, the Leo may not have thought they were that important to you.
@Chuckcem I don't know who you are but boy have you been a light shed in my life. Thank you for all your advice. You and him have the EXACT same though process.
OMG YES TO THIS = ("He basically communicated with your everyday to show his interest, but after that he scaled it back considerably. Every person is different, but this is a common mistake guys make when trying to attract women. Once a woman becomes accustomed to that communication style , it can be jarring to change. ") .... My whole issue was for him to just communicate with me he'd be taking a step back and then I wouldn't have been so concerned or worried that something was wrong. It was hot & cold so quickly and out of the character I know him to be that I didn't know what to expect.
("It sounds like he just wants to date for now and possibly be friends with benefits. He may not have anyone else he is interested in, but he doesn't sound like he wants the responsibility of a full on exclusive relationship yet. It sounds like things may have become too "serious" for him too fast, so he's trying to dial it back.") ..... We've spoken since and I told him I'd be willing to date for now and build towards a relationship down the line as long as we were "exclusively" having fun with each other only. I'm also not in a rush to go into full "relationship mode". I don't need the extra attention. The little texts through the week he used to voluntarily send that said "Hey beautiful have a wonderful day" or "Thinking about you" was what I cherished most, what meant most to me and what I miss with every once of my being. It was those 10 seconds that fluttered my heart. I'm perfectly fine with waiting and allowing it to flourish as it goes. How do you recommend I grab his attention back? Or better yet....Help him understand that I'm willing to be respectful of his time & his goals & still want to stand by his side? Any wrong or right way to approach him? Give him space? Send a text? You and him are parallel minds. You have no idea how much you've already helped me! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
