Dealing with Shy Libra observing from afar? what?!

This topic was created in the Libra forum by PuppyPuddles on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 and has 16 replies.
Hello all!
I am new here so, first off, nice to meet you! Secondly, I'll stress that this is not a bleeding heart story. So please read on and laugh with me!!!
I'm just mega confused and think this forum is awesome smile
**What's the sitch?
What is up with Shy introverted Libras? Other people paint a different picture, but this guy is not typical. (who is really?)
**Shy introverted Libra who is younger than me, with Virgo--moon, Libra--Venus, and Scorpio--Mars... I know!!!
This kid is the sweetest most loving person... ON THE INSIDE. hahaha And that's exactly where he seems to keep it.
I am totally opposite. I'm a Leo that has an artistic career and am very outgoing and direct.
He is an atypical Libra but he'll talk to OTHER people that initiate, but NOT ME?!
In fact, I seem to be the only person he can't look in the eye if he's responding to me...and man, oh man are his responses weird and off the cusp.
YET this boy gives me the old "STARING ME DOWN while I'm not looking' routine all the time.
And I'll be damned if this boy hasn't been observing my every move from a distance and I barely even noticed!
He gave me the most thoughtful gift EVER that he picked out based upon something I said to someone else ages ago (because, again, he doesn't really talk to me...in words). But then again, if eyes could talk, he's been confessing his love for months! haha
Talk about FIRE and tension! Whew. What must be the Scorpio combo in his chart....

***So, what about the shy Libras? What's their deal? And what is he trying to say with these mixed messages?
I can't figure him out, and I'm sure he hasn't figured me out yet, which is why he is always watching.... FROM AFAR! hahaha

As a Leo, I only understand directness.
It's both annoying and adorable to see someone observe me from afar... when he could just ask me out!? wtf!
I can see how he feels about me when I look into his eyes! (that old Libra stare).
I told him I loved him at a Christmas party (he's a family friend so I meant it in a pure sense). His eyes lit up and he tried to scowl to stop from grinning. He replied, "Thanks" wryly.
I smirked back. Ha ha, gotcha silly Libra.

I don't think they are shy, actually they are just not so good at sharing their feelings. For all I know, they are constantly thinking and measuring every detail and try to reach every perspective.
Just stay around but don't be on him that too much, let him observe. At the end of the day, he'll do smth and you'll know how you guys would be.

Thanks firedry! You're probably right. He probably hasn't 'decided' what to say, so for now he just observes.
I'll let him watch... for now. Winking
I like a man that takes initiative anyway, and he'll have plenty of chances... the cray! Big Grin

We're very observant, and many of us are shy (myself included). You said you see him stare but you "barely notice him". He sounds young and insecure, that's all. He doesn't talk to you because he's nervous, that's also why he looks away. The thoughtfulness in his gift shows he pays attention and cares what you're saying. You also say you prefer a man who takes charge (that's not us) and are fine to just let him watch. He picks up on your apparent lack of interest and doesn't chase. Many libra's fear rejection so much we'd rather not take the chance. I know I don't chase unless I think you want me to catch you.

lol at the whole post

Lol what do you mean you barely noticed? I feel like this whole thread is about how much you noticed.
Tbh you like him. Why don't you just ask him if he's into you? This fake tension seems exhausting. Lol.


lol!!! I KNOW! I totally DO notice, except I only JUST put the pieces together.
Yeah, I agree. Perhaps I'll start by complimenting him and dropping some hints?
I'll see him a fair bit in a few weeks, but I'll have a million things to do since I'll be working... and he'll be watching... (you crazy Libras, that I love).
If he were older I would just be more forward, but he is still in College and I'm finally out of that whole deal, so I don't want to scare him. Cause I think Libras scare easy with that stuff... or I could be wrong...?
Thanks!

Thanks a million LibraSid!
This is super helpful. So, you're saying I should totally let him know that I WANT to be caught...???
Perhaps I should let him know that I can't run very far... Winking (*wink wink nudge nudge)

And compliment him... I hear Libras are suckers for compliments...
Honestly, I'll probably just stare back at him and tell him he looks handsome with his new haircut and suit.
And of course, I'll be dressed to kill. Winking boom chica pow!

Careful you don't break your neck falling off of that pedestal.

I'm picky with words, don't do anything because you think we're "a sucker for it". Everyone likes compliments, but only if they're believed to be genuine.
If you like him and can deal with an insecure (at least with women) kinda shy guy, yes show him you're interested. You don't have to take the lead but be clear.
I don't get "subtle clues", never have. People have come up to me randomly my whole life and said some variant of, "you realize [she] likes you, right?". Of course, I talk to people. The only time I've ever just stared at a woman is when I felt she was 'out of my league'. Or... if I already knew she was only eye candy. You know, smart as a brick, a bitch, something like that.

Her own. Any time I listen to a Leo chick talk about her dating/romantic life, sometimes I just can't help but lol at her story. There's a "have some standards/self respect" approach in dating, and then there's the "holy crap get the fuck over yourself" group that just takes that approach and goes overboard.
Then they wonder why they have issues in dating. They're seeing and making up shit that may not necessarily be happening. ...Which is the vibe I pick up from this chick. I don't doubt some of it is actually happening, but I think her ego is making the entire situation a little too "me" centric and not everything in this situation is about her like she portrays it to be.
"LOL HE'S SO SHY. HE'S TOTALLY INTO ME, BUT WON'T ADMIT IT."
She didn't come here for insight, she came here to brag.








...also, anyone who uses "sitch" should be disregarded immediately.

OMG SHUT UP. You're going on about how you're a Leo and all about directness, but then your stupid ass goes on about "dropping hints" and "complimenting him." Bitch, be direct. Practice what you preach, kthx.
You won't scare a Libra off about directness unless they're being shady assholes and feel that they just got caught. Otherwise, they're very receptive to directness (unless it's you ripping them a new asshole). For someone claiming to be beyond his level because he's in college, you sure are acting like you're still there.
Get a grip and do something. If not, shut up. Bragging about it and getting off on it won't get you anywhere.

Thanks again LibraSid for your airy perspective.
He actually doesn't know I'm recently single as of yet. It's not exactly something you slip casually into conversation. ha. He knew my ex boyfriend, who is like... twice his size. I imagine this leads to caution/his inability to make a move as of yet. Since I have yet to really get a chance to talk to him as a single woman.

Anyhow....to all of you Leo haters on this post, I find it ridiculous that you actually think I take myself and this situation seriously.
It's meant to entertain and spark insight. Or at least humorous banter.
From my understanding, this entire forum is ridiculous. There mere fact of characterizing someone from their zodiac sign is ridiculous. And everyone on here, myself included, is ridiculous by default.
If you don't have anything constructive to add to the thread, then don't post, ya Trolls. Don't you have something better to do? Like hiding your treasure under bridges?
