Libras don't like to say "no"...they try extra hard to be nice. So, if you're making advances (subtle or not) toward the Libra and he's NOT interested, he's going to want to avoid a confrontation. So he'll be friendly/befuddled/full of mixed messages. They are REALLY...well, airy compared to Tauruses. My sense from your description is that he's trying to be nice, but he's not terribly interested romantically. It all depends on what you mean by you "blocked" his advances.

If he said, "I really like you, want to go out sometime?" and you turned him down blatently, or he tried to kiss you and you moved your face away, then you "blocked his advances." If it was something subtler, the Libra was probably just being his usual friendly, flirty self (they flirt with and flatter everyone! but they don't actually take it farther than that with everyone), and he probably wasn't making any advances.

If a Libra's interested in you, he'll eagerly and happily take you up on overtures you might make, even if he doesn't make them himself. Signs of interest to look for:
-he cozies up to your friends and hangs out with them
-he includes you in his group of friends
-when you make a move in his direction, he pretty much twinkles with delight...you will see his dimples
-he gets subtly "touchy"
-he is 90% likely to tell his friends who he's attracted to, and how serious it is...so if you have mutual friends, feel them out about it!
-most important: he tells you you are pretty/beautiful

On the other hand, beware of misleading Libra "signals." (There was a Libra man a friend of mine thought was in love with her because of the "bedroom eyes" he kept giving her, until she noticed he looked THE SAME WAY at her mom!! and his best friend, Frank!!) Libras are this way with everyone they like platonically. These include:
-complimenting you on things other than your looks
-flirtatious banter
-being super nicely helpful

They don't like to say no, but they love to say yes, and if he's interested, it's likely that he WILL indeed make a move himself, probably a classic and conventional move, like asking you on a date.

Right on. I have seen this happen quite a lot actually with Libras in general (of both sexes.) Just a weeks ago a Libra rising friend of mines was at a theater and she was just being her friendly self around the guys who mistook her actions for flirtation. Waayyy wrong move boyos Lol!

And well, being a Libra let me give you an example:

Read the little posting between Catapharact FD and the lot (all the way to the next page Lol!) Now does that mean we all have a thing going for each other? LOL! I sure hope not (though that plink sure has a way with people.... *Shakes head.*) Just being friendly that's all .

When he asked you to go out with him, was it clear that it was on a date? Like, he asked you out alone, just the two of you? And, it seemed like a romantic invitation? I'm flummoxed as to why you would turn that down, but if you did, and it was very clearly a real one-on-one, sexy, romantic date, it would absolutely work to take him aside and say, "Libra, that time you asked me to go to dinner and a movie Friday night and I turned you down, I was going through some weird issues. But I'd love to go out with you!" I know this would turn off certain other signs who love the chase, but it would set a Libra at ease. However, it's possible your Libra was just making a platonic overture.

Also--this sounds incredibly harsh, and this is totally a rhetorical question (and please, no need to answer here, just ask yourself)--are you incredibly beautiful and thin? And desired by many? Even if the Libra is a nice guy and not so handsome himself, if you're a chubby, nice person, the Libra is a zillion times more likely to send weird mixed signals. Even the nicest Libra guys think that a slightly overweight or not-that-beautiful woman is so firmly in the friend zone, they don't worry about sending the wrong signal by flirting outrageously with her, because actually dating her is so far out of the realm of possibility.

If you are thin and conventionally beautiful, and the Libra asked you out alone on what was clearly a date, and you clearly told him you weren't interested, go ahead and be straightforward with him. Ask him if he's seeing anyone, and if he isn't, say you made a big mistake about the date and you'd love to go out with him.
