Aloof Aries Man, what to do?

Hi everyone. I just joined today after reading on and off for a few weeks. I was finally compelled to post because I'm going a little crazy over an Aries man (I'm a Leo - cusp of Cancer). I'll try to be brief.


Me and Aries (April 8) worked together for about a year in NYC before he moved away to Florida. W had grown quite friendly up until he left but never anything beyond that. Shortly after he moved the flirting began and since I'd already developed a little crush I welcomed it.


This went on for about 2 months (texting nearly everyday for hours on end.) until about 2 weeks ago. We were chatting and he was being pushy so I got upset and ended the conversation. The next day I apologized for being short. His response led me to believe he didn't even realize it was what he'd said that made me mad. I told him it was a combination of things but that I was over it. Since that day he's been extremely quiet and we havent texted more than a handful of times and the conversations aren't nearly as intense or fun as they were before.


A few days ago he texted to say he was sorry to have been so aloof but it hasn't gone back to the way it was before. Is he no longer interested? Did I bruise his ego? Is he just busy and focused on something else (He moved to start a new business but it doesn't sound like things are going as planned).


I want to give him space but I texted him last night in a moment of weakness just saying "hey". He responded this am but I have not replied.


I don't know if this matters but there's a pretty big age gap and he's English if that helps lol. Any advice is greatly appreciated.


Well are you trying to have an LDR with him?
Not at this point. It's very early for that I feel but I am enjoying getting to know him and would like to remain friends with the possibility of more later.
Yeah, he may be holding back cuz what's the point? Guys don't really pursue friendships with girls especially long distance.
I was in a long distance relationship for 5 years so I don't really subscribe to that idea lol. However it was with a cancer for whatever that's worth.


If I didn't really like him and we didn't get along soooo well I wouldn't read so much into it but my leo heart seems to have taken over, ugh!

That is simply not 100% . I've multiple older male friends that are overseas and such that I have been friends with for years. Strictly frenz

Well I did say maybe. .. But they had a kinda flirty friendship not a real friendship so it's a bit different. He had the intention to date her, not befriend her.

I don't think he had that intention or wouldn't he have made a move before he... well moved? Initially we started out friendly because we both love to cook and he started teaching me about wine but it wasn't flirty until nearly a year after we'd met/started working together.


Also, how did you guys get a picture to show up next to your name lol.
... And out of nowhere he starts to act as if our break from chatting never happened. I'm starting to think it really is an Aries thing and he was just very focused on his business the last two weeks.
