Lol, ya, I can relate! Here's what happened the other night between us that reminds me of that... see if you can identify with this...

Ok, so we game together in an MMO. He's normally on a higher level character than mine but has been spending some time with me again lately on a lower toon. So the other night he announces to me that he wants to level with me and gets on his lower toon. We run one instance and then he drops out and goes his merry way doing his own thing (where normally we used to spend hours playing together.) He didn't even so much as say anything about it but just stayed in party, hardly talking. So I'm thinking, like what the hell, I thought he wanted to spend time with me. And of course I wondered if he's talking to someone else or something since he's so quiet. I mentioned him being in another place in game and he just said he's finishing quests there and that's it. We didn't talk much after that and usually we do.

After a bit he hit a new level and announced it and I congratulated him but when I levelled I said nothing and he noticed it. Then a few mins later I get "Are you upset with me because I'm over here instead of over there with you?" Now ladies, this is pretty much a trick question in my books because after all he's not like my boyfriend or anything so I can hardly complain as to where he chooses to spend his time. So I simply said "You've got your own plans." Then I get "So yea, fantastic." And 2 or 3 mins later he says "I find it funny that you have soooooo much to say about everything but that you can't express to me that you are unhappy that I am over here instead of being with you. Well I have only one simple plan and that's to keep similing. Goodnight." I simply said "I was just about to logoff too. Goodnight." and then I left. He has not spoken to me since... did not even log on his toons yesterday and today was on briefly and left without a word. So I am being punished I guess because I didn't ***** at him when really I had no standing to ***** at him anyways. <sigh> And if I had bitched at him, he'd have surely put me in my place really fast because he did once before when I merely objected to something he said. This guy man, I adore him but he's a lot of work!

I almost half expect that he will next write me something nasty or just remove me from his friends because he feels I'm ignoring him. I really hope not that though because the guy has really grown on me! lol

For the most part, its a mood swing.. If Im in a bad mood or had a bad day. I want to be alone, I dont want to talk or be around anyone...
Its best to just let me be.. If not Ill will probably snap...

Another reason my feelings got hurt... If someone hurts my feelings in some way.. I dont want anything to do with that person, until Im over it (so to speak) Its like I have to boost my own ego up..

Those would be the two main reasons..

I still have feelings for one of my best friend's who happens to be 6'4'' and the male equivalent of me plus he is a Leo Sun/ ASC. with Scorpio Moon and Aries Mars like me. We both have water Moons, I've never met any guy that I have such a connection with. We have the same sense of humor and like to talk about really demented things. We have so much fun together and I get him all to myself tomorrow!

posted June 30, 2012 12:18 AM            

Soon after meeting I found out we had a mutual friend, so I tracked him down. He called me and we were together for about two years. During that time he was a true prince and even though the sex was awful I stuck it out.

The first issue was that I took his virginity. I've never been in love and back then I certainly wasnt in love so I was very upset and told him he should have waited for a deeper relationship. I had no idea what I said was an insult to our relationship. I only knew it was my truth.

I ended up leaving our small city for educational reasons and he ended up cheating on me-we were having a long distance relationship. He cheated on me with a local woman with three children.

He ended up marrying the woman with three children-we have the same name. They were married for almost 10 years and had about three bilogical children together.

Now, he is divorced with 6 children.

I can honestly say that I would never knowingly date another Leo regardless of what other aspects were in his chart. My Leo ex was weak, needy, clingy, self-serving victim, who was paranoid.

But we were also very young. We spoke about a year ago, no hard feelings. His dad had recently died. I really liked his Dad.

Dang it wouldn't let me quote most of your message Hannaramaa!

Anyways, oh ya, he is such a NEW experience for me! He just has me enamoured and unfortunately he knows it. But omg, the man has no problem asking for ego strokes... Let me give you some example commentary during our time together...

"So tell me how I make you feel baby!"

"You liked me because I'm sexy and have a great accent right?"

"I like being a sexy beast!" (When I asked him why he got his hair cut so regularly.)

"You're with me now! I'm not going to let you be that way (he thinks I am too shy and backward about saying stuff to him), when you're with me you're going to be my "insert name." No more of that when you're with me!" (still not really working for him lol)

When I mentioned that I compare the other men to him and implied that they come up wanting (after the two of us not playing together for almost 2 weeks) he said "No one can!(compare to him)"

But alas, he is ****** at me *again*. Because I got quiet when I wasn't terribly happy about something. Apparently he wanted me to ***** at him and when I didn't he got pissy and logged off and has stayed away and will probably ignore me now for awhile. His pattern is to get pissy/moody and then after a day or two he whispers me again in game and says something nice. The man is quite a full time job to be around it seems. Wish I didn't find him so damn attractive (and I mean personality-wise.) He's just so intelligent and dynamic and such a leader that I don't even mind the ego so much and I don't mind stroking it for him. lol

It is kind of ironic what you said about getting your way because although I don't feel that's what I do with him, he's basically said that I do. "Ya, you're just letting me feel like I have control but you're the one who's getting your way" kind of comments from him. Honestly, I am a triple earth (virgo sun, cap asc and moon in taurus with venus and mars in leo) and so i am usually pleasant and cheerful and don't like to fight. I am more often quiet when he upsets me. He seems to think that I'm getting my way with him even though I don't fight him hardly ever. lol Although one night I did tell him off after he hurt me with some mean comments and the weird thing is he totally flew off the handle and went offline but then started texting me that he was a terrible person and hoped I would at least have good memories of him and bye forever type of thing (very dramatic.) Then a very long, dramatic convo by text in which he seemed to be in his glory and was more into me then ever. I think it turned him on. This guy just makes my virgo head spin. lol But I do adore him and the thought of losing his companionship makes me quite sad.

I do think the moon in gemini is a real problem though. He has the Leo thing and Descendant in Libra so he loves love it seems but the moon in gemini keeps making him want to detach and disconnect and he doesn't want to talk about his feelings. Instead he wants me to talk about how he makes me feel. <sigh> Once in awhile he'll tell me something like he thinks I am very special and that he is trying to adjust himself for me because he thinks I'm worth it. The other night he even said I was "dangerous" to him because I'm so special. lol :O

I personally can't handle Leos. I'm an Aries and I'm nearly a Leo myself. I can't handle another "me" as I've understood for quite awhile now I'm already a lot to handle.

But if you want to pursue this, by all means go ahead. Concerning the last Leo I knew well/i], what always worked was taking the higher road. A Leo absolutely loathes to [i]appear (I've said it before and I'll say it again) like the weaker link. When the Leo I knew started flying off the handle at me, I played it cool. I didn't react, as that is what they want most of the time. I asked him if he was finished and then left it at that. The next day I got a lengthy apology. Basically, I think it's possible to have a successful relationship with a Leo if you can keep your cool and allow them to literally have center stage. Let them fly off the handle...it won't matter as long as they get to have their "moment." and then they'll be the goofy adorable kitten you started liking in the first place.

No offense on Leos. I'm only calling it how I see it.

I'm feeling rather down about the whole thing today. I did keep my cool that night and didn't argue with him. That was the last he spoke to me. Next night he stayed away, following day (yesterday) he signed on and ignored me and today the same. I am not the type who wants to chase but I suppose that's what he's expecting. Plus I guess the fact that I wouldn't "express" is a big problem for his Moon in Gemini as I heard a lack of communication kills all attraction for them. I just know I feel very sad about the whole thing right now and don't know what to do.

One day he will be telling me how much he likes me and how special I am and he's gone so far as to say "you're with me now" (yes over the top with the stuff he says!) and the next day if I say anything that he thinks is indicating too much closeness I get something totally contrary like "Missy, we're not in a relationship." I called him on the back and forth, push-pull thing and he admitted it's been a long-term problem with women

Yes.... I went out with a Leo sun. Gemini moon, and had the same issue with him.

One day, he says to me: "I want you heart, mind, body, and soul!!!!"

Next day: "You know, if I weren't so busy with other things, I would pursue you."

Believe it or not, "we" lasted about six months after that little exchange.

I married a Leo with a Libra sun, and THIS I can handle.

Thanks for relating. I don't feel so bad knowing I haven't been entirely alone in this.

I should add that I'm a Pisces moon. Moon square moon can be really difficult, so that didn't help.

If your suns are square, that might also bring out the "duality" of the Gemini moon...the mixed feelings.

They love it when you stroke their ego, throw some praises here and there, yup..they'll love it. Will do anything to win, which is sometimes good because it just shows that everything they do is very important to them. Sometimes, they won't acknowledge what others have done/contributed and pretend/say everything was all because of their hard work. Likes pretty things and buy a lot of nice things to their loved ones (that's why I often feel like I'm such a materialistic girl, haha)Uhm..that's all I can think of..my dad is one but we don't get along, lol..I'm a virgo btw xD

My brother is a Leo moon. He can be a bit of a smartass, but his sense of humor really is pretty funny (as long as it doesn't go too far). Very loyal, will do anything for people that matter to him, is good at helping me not to worry about things so much (often by making me laugh), very honest.

I've also known some bad Leos. One that (knock on wood) I pray I never see again for the rest of my life literally harmed me. A bad Leo will be arrogant, dishonest, will build up all kinds of lies, take credit for the work of others, be very controlling, will whine and expect you to give in to them, will use you, will act like you owe them something, and can be physically as well as emotionally abusive and toxic.

It may be hard to catch a Leo, but if you do have a Leo's Heart.. They will stop at nothing at treating you like a queen/king.
Its just getting a Leo to really care is the hard part..

Lol, sorry about the rant. Here are some impressions I've noticed about Leo men in general:

1. They tend to be dominant in relationships. In friendships, they seem to be more about deciding things together unless of course you ask them to make decisions about which restaurant to go to, which movie to see, etc.

2. They can get really jealous and possessive--more so than a Scorpio. My Leo ex even became jealous when I spent time with my female friends! This is an extreme case though; I doubt most Leos would be that insecure.

3. They are very generous, but make sure there aren't strings attached. There are some Leos that will give you a gift just because they want to, and do not expect anything in return. There are other Leos that will give you lavish gifts and will use those gifts as emotional blackmail later on. For example, they'll say, " I bought you a dozen red roses everyday for a week and gave you a massage, so you have to do what I say." This is what my ex would say to me even though I specifically told me to not buy me anything.

4. They love compliments, but only give compliments that you are sincere about.

I don't think I have that with him but I have a Taurus moon, he has a Gemini moon. And my Mars makes like 12 aspects to his planets (including my mars conjuncts his venus and both of our mars conjuncts the other's sun.) We seem to have a lot of dynamic aspects. I have several things sitting in his 5th and 6th houses, he has several in my 7th and I have a few things sitting in his 12th plus my moon in his 1st. He did tell me that I make him think of his past and stuff he doesn't really want to think about which I relate to the 12th house. I also have stuff sitting near his IC and his Chiron conjuncts my Moon. Let's just say he affects me quite a bit which surprises me given that I haven't known him very long. He also has his mars crammed into my very full 8th house, activating all my conjuncted mess of planets in there. My vesta is also sitting right on his mars which I actually think is telling because one of our main arguments is that he thinks I should be easily sexual with him in conversation and I am not about that outside of a relationship even though he is a big turn on for me and if we were in a relationship there'd be no holds barred. <sigh> Oh the agony of it all. lol
