male Leo - is there any hope?

This topic was created in the Leo forum by Franci on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 and has 14 replies.
Hello. I am new to this forum. I found it when I was searching for male Leo behavior traits in google and I see I am not the only one with questions about Leo behavior, but here is my story.
I met this Leo guy several months ago. There was very strong attraction between us, and we texted each other all the time. He came up with sweet name for me, and then out of the blue he backed off. We've been keeping in touch since then, and have met several times (we don't live in the same city). We still have great time together, and there is a lot of flirting involved, but he said he is only friend to me, nothing else. I, however, have started developing very strong feelings toward him. Is there any hope for this friendship situation to change and evolve into relationship? If this is important - I am Gemini.
Thanks very much for your help. smile

Considering it's long distance and he said he only thought of you as a friend, mostly likely no, it won't evolve into anything.
Don't take what happened in the beginning because we tend to get carried away but after thinking about things and LDR are not our thing (ok, maybe it's just me but I don't do long distance well), he probably told you the truth when he said he just wanted to be friends.

Hi Jonleo, and thanks for the honest reply. There are some details I didn't mention in my original message. The Leo in question is in the last stage of his studies, and he is under extreme pressure right now. I know (not from him) that he vowed not to be in a relationship until he graduates. He said we're only friends, but is still flirting big time with me, and whenever I visit him we always go out, so people do see us together. I do believe he told me the truth, because of his situation. I was just wondering if once the situation has changed, the things between us will change as well.

I can't predict the future but he is young and so are you. I'm just cautioning you not to put all your eggs in his basket. Leo's are big flirts and my guess is he's not ready to settle down & commit to anyone for quite a while.
So do your thing, enjoy what you have with him but don't expect more.
If I can tell you anything about Leo's is that if he thought you were 'the one' for him, he would claim you as his. Just don't go to visit him to often or chase, let him do that. Otherwise, you'll never know really where you stand.

hi, leo's are naturally very friendly and flirty with everyone, it doesn't necessarily mean anything, believe me if a leo wants you we will go get you and you will not mistake what happens for mere flirting, no amount of studies, work etc. would keep us from being with someone we want, we are the sign of the lover and can juggle many many balls without burn out, so the fact that he is studying hard is not going to get in his way of love, he has the leo energy to do both. If he said he wants to be friends then that is what he wants I would guess. No one knows if he may turn on to you in the future, stay his friend and don;t expect romance and see how the future takes shape, having a leo as a friend is also a goood thing!

These are the plans for now -- being friends is so much fun, even without the 'relationship' part. I will not visit him for the next 3 weeks, and will cut on texting & e-mailing, just to see what will happen. But when I say he's swamped with studies, I mean it. I will be in the same boat in the Fall, as I am one year behind him in my studies. Jonleo, you're correct - we're both in our late 20s, about to turn 30 this year, so we're young. We both like very unconventional things, and share the same opinion about way too many things, including very personal ones. This gives me hope that things will progress, I just need to be patient and play my cards right. Which I hope I will learn how to do after I read more in this forum.
@celticlioness -- he's big flirt, but I have never seen him flirting with other people, other than me. It was obvious for his colleagues as well, and they said they have never seen him "swept away off his feet". smile Oh, well, I will need to learn to be patient, continue with my life, and see what future will bring us.
details
Yeah, stay friends with him, cutting your contact will spark him to contact you no doubt - we leo's need the contact, its like a drug, we love deeply even if only on a friendship level and backing off from us can make us scramble after you. ah, 30 isn't so young that you both shouldn't be able to work out very quickly what you want - regardless of whats going on in your lives, as I said studies won't stop him no matter the workload. Aries people get Leo's on so many levels and vice versa, you stimulate us in all areas, at the moment he is in friend mode with you and probably doesn't even realise if he has feelings for you, backing off him will help him to see what he wants, being straight with him will help even more, nothing a leo likes more than a direct declaration - just beware if he realises he doesn't want a realtionship on any level with you he may decide to cut it off stone dead, an unfortunate trait to have but one we use. Leo's flirt with everyone and are easily swept off their feet so I'd take what his friends say with a pinch of salt, we were born to be swept away and its quite likely he has been in the past, it takes a very special and strong person to keep us swept, Aries can do that - keep that in mind and above all just be yourself.

Ah, celticlioness, thanks so much for the reply. I wish I was Aries, but I am Gemini -- quite different I think. I am not going for a direct declaration at the moment because I am afraid that he might cut me off completely. I'd rather have him as a friend than nothing at all, and if I have to wait to see what happens -- so be it. I am one of those rare patient Geminis. One of his close friends (a girl) told me yesterday that in her opinion he's not clear about his feelings as well, which I doubt. He seem like very confident person, a very determined one, and when he says he'll do something, no matter how difficult it is, he'll do it for real. Anyway, as of today I cut off all communication - no texts, no e-mails, no calls or anything. And see how long it will take before he realizes I am "gone".

Rawr, leo men are tasty.
Make sure the next time you see him you look like a knock out.
"Leo men love women that are put together. They adore someone who takes the time to choose an outfit that brings out her best qualities. Manicures, pedicures and regular visits to the hair salon are a must when you are trying to attract a man born during this time of year. You should always strive to look your best whether you two are spending an evening out with friends, or you are simply watching a movie at home. When you take care of yourself, you are showing that you value the woman you are. Leo men respect you more when you respect yourself.
Always show interest in everything he says. Ensure that you ask him pointed questions about his life, without seeming too nosy. You want him to understand that you are curious about the person he is. While talking, reach for his hand or lightly run your hand down his back. Leo men love those types of small gestures from the woman in their lives.
If you want a Leo man in love with you, be very careful how you handle disagreements. These men don't do well with confrontation, and if you offend him, it may end up hurting you both very much. Instead be clear about what you don't agree with and let him state his side of the case. This will ensure you both get to share your opinions without things getting too heated.
Loyalty is on the top of the list of desired character traits for anyone born under the sign of the lion. If you want a Leo man in love with you, you have to remain faithful to only him. Don't be surprised if he is hurt by your wanting to spend time with a male, platonic friend. You would do better to invite your man along for any outings you have with guy friends. This will show him that you have nothing to hide, and it serves another purpose as well. By including him in every aspect of your life, it helps him see that you really value and adore him."

HA! GIRL PLEASE...A LEO WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND, AND IN YOUR CASE YOUR LUCKY, YOU DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO ASK HIM BECUZ HE STRAIGHT UP TOLD U WHERE YOU STAND. YOU ARE IN THE FRIEND ZONE WHICH IS NOT EXACTLY A BAD THING AS STATED ABOVE. SADLY I'VE I LIKED A BUNCH OF LEO (CRUSHING ON ONE RIGHT NOW, AS A MATTER A FACT,LOL. BUT I'LL SAVE THAT STORY 4 MY OWN MESSAGE BOARD). ANYWAY, SADLY ALL OF MY LEO'S CRAVED ME IN THE BEGINNING, BUT ONLY ONE FELL HARD AND HEAD OVER HILLS FOR ME, AND HE FELL FOR ME SIMPLY BECAUSE I WAS MYSELF AROUND HIM.(IM A LOVELY LIBRA GAL BY THE WAY ^-^) I DONT KNOW WHY IT WAS DIFFERENT WITH THE OTHERS, BUT IN MY OPINION IF A LEO MALE THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OFFERS YOU HIS FRIENDSHIP, IN MY OPINION THIS IS NOT ONLY A GOOD THING IT IS A GREAT THING. ITS A WAY TO GET HIM TO LET HIS GAURD DOWN AROUND YOU, ITS A WAY TO GET TO KNOW THE REAL HIM. HIM FLIRTING IS JUST HIS NATURE AS STATED ABOVE, SO PAY THAT NO MIND. HE LOVES PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND HE LOVES THE ATTENTION HE GETS FROM THEM AN YOU ARE NO ACCEPTION. SO PLAY THOSE CUTE LITTLE SLY REMARKS HE DROPS ON YOU TO THE SIDE. SHOOT, WITH ME BEING A LIBRA WHEN MY LEO FLIRTED I WOULD FLIRT RIGHT BACK, THEN WE'D GO RIGHT BACK TO BEING CLOSE FRIENDS THAT OBVIOUSLY LIKE ONE ANOTHER. NOW HE LOVES ME, AND HAS ADMITTED TO BEING IN LOVE WITH ME AT SOME POINT. SO TAKE THE FRIENDSHIP AND MILK IT FOR WHAT ITS WORTH, ITS LIGHTED PATHWAY INTO THE LEO'S MAN HEAD AND EVEN BETTER HIS HEART, IF YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES HIM TICK, YOU'VE GOT IT IN THE BAG! YOU GO GIRL! GOOD LUCK =)

BY THE WAY, IM SORRY TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT HIM BEING SWAMPED WITH STUDIES IS MAJOR B.S ON A STICK AND ABSOULUTELY NO EXCUSE TO NOT SPEND TIME WITH YOU. A LEO LOVES BEING AROUND HIS WOMAN OF CHOICE. HE CRAVES HER ATTENTION MORE THAN HE DOES ANYONE ELSES IN HIS WORLD. I MET MY LEO IN COLLEGE AND BELIEVE ME WE WERE BOTH SWAMPED WITH STUDIES ESPECIALLY HIM MAINLY BECAUSE LEO'S IN MY OPIONION ARE "OVER-ACHIEVERS" NOT EXACTLY A BAD THING, BUT CERTAINLY A TRAIT OF THEIRS. BUT MY POINT IS, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SWAMPED WITH HIS STUDIES HE STOPPED TO EAT, AND WHEN HE DID WE ATE TOGEHER, HELL SOMETIMES HE'D BE STUDYING AND I'D BE IN MR DORM SLEEP, HE'D WANT ME TO COME TO HIS DORM AND SLEEP WHILE HE STUDIES JUST SO HE CAN HAVE ME IN HIS PRESENCE. HE JUST WANTED TO BE NEAR ME,AND WHEN WE WEREN'T IN EACH OTHER'S PRESENSE HE TEXTED ME. BOTTOM LINE IS THE LEO WILL SPOIL YOU WITH AFFECTION. THER WONT BE ANY ROOM FOR QUESTION OF HOW HE FEELS OR WHAT HIS INTENTIONS ARE. HE'LL WILL MAKE IT KNOWN WITH HIS ACTIONS OR WORDS, OR SOMETIMES BOTH. BUT YOU WILL DEFINITELY KNOW.

Thanks very much! smile Things have changed since my last post. Now they're even more awkward, because we had sex. I wasn't expecting it, he said he would have stopped if he wanted to, but he didn't. We both were drinking all evening long, and this probably helped. Long story short -- now he's even more distant than before. We're still friends, and both vowed for this not to happen again (or as he said at least for a while). I have no experience whatsoever with situations like this and my mind is running in circles for the last several days.

WHOOPS! Bad move Missy, very bad move...I will now encourage you to keep the excellent memory of him and keep it moving. If a leo male gets his way with no strings attached too soon there wont be ANY committment or relationship. EVERY single article i've read on these men has ALWAYS stated and i qoute "KEEP HIM OUT OF YOUR BED FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE"... and I hate to sound bias, but trust me i learned the hard way. They have to have a chase, and a challenge. You know sort of like the Lion conquering his kingdom or pursueing his prey (you). Your goal was to become more than the prey, you want him to pursue you into being his lioness queen. Although it is safe to say it is not entirely your fault. Leo men are very agressive when attracted to someone not to mention many of them are EXTREAMLY easy on the eyes thus making them irresistable.Their love is more physical than emotional. However the akwardness you described is not out of the norm, it's how the lion treats a woman he has just recruited to become just another lioness in his thirsty pride. Its cool if you want to have some steamy fun with him from time to time, but to spare yourself the heartache, dont expect anything more because 9 times out of 10 you sealed the deal when spreaded your legs without knowing completly where you stand with him. I could be wrong, but i doubt it...becuz i cant seem to get away from them. UGH...lol

Thank you, ladies, for your honest opinion. smile It is much appreciated.
I was wrong when I said my leo was distant. Last night he sent me one very straight forward e-mail, and I think things are moving in the right direction. Only time will show if I am right or no. But so far, so good. smile
