Can I be brutually honest here?

(Leo Sun, Mercury and NN; Libra Moon; Cancer Mars; Virgo Venus)

Honestly it's less about maturity with Leos than about, as Odette said, "love and respect".

If you said or did something that we feel shows a lack of respect for us, then absolutely, we go into that "Whatever" mode where you're concerned. Usually though we're more blunt and will just go off on you for it, but if we don't do that and you find yourself suddenly never hearing from us or feeling taken for granted by us, it's because you crossed a line and we pretty much wrote you off and don't feel like we have to respect you and your time or take you seriously anymore.

I'm being brutally honest here. I've had people say and do things to me that I felt were disrespectful, or like they were trying to engage me in some kind of power-war and :

1.) Just vanished on them with no warning whatsoever and they didn't hear from me til weeks or months later. I have an established history of just "abandoning" people who disrespect me.

2.) Take my sweet time responding when they contact me, and when I do I'm pretty flippant and don't really make an effort in the friendship or relationship anymore; I "check out" on an emotional level and just start phoning it in...doing things like showing up to hang out hours after the agreed time, things like that.

Again - we do that type of thing only if you really offended us in some way. Then it's like the "Give a Damn" light in our head where you're concerned, goes out and we just don't care anymore.

What offends us more than anything? I know personally that I really dislike people who are pushy with their opinions and try to force them on me. I dislike it also when people try to dominate me and then it becomes a weird competition for the driver's seat. Those are in addition to the obvious things, like being mocked or insulted, or taken for granted or ignored. Tactlessness in speech also. Doing any of those will get you in the doghouse with a Leo, real fast, and you'll know when you're in there because you'll either hear about it from us right away...or wonder where we went and why we won't come see you anymore.

not sure how great my example(s) will be, but i think when you read that about Leo males (wanting someone who stands up for themselves) - it means they want to be in control, but not in control of a pushover. two examples ... i live alone in my apartment, and when my Leo bf first started to come over he would rearrange my furniture - the bed, carpets, pictures, etc. So, without ever confronting him verbally I would change things back right in front of him. I would just say 'it looks okay your way, but it's going back the way I prefer since I live here.' So, I complimented his new idea, but still did it my own way. Another example... often, before we go out, my Leo bf will look at the accessories I am wearing, like scarf, earrings, whatever and comment 'wouldn't X look better than that?' So, his subtle suggestion is that I change how I look, but I never do. Leo like to be in control - sometimes subtly and sometimes overtly. You just can't let them 'rule' you. They like a woman with backbone, someone who can disagree with them and have opinions, but still respect them.

Hmm...okay so you kind of have to treat them similar to Cancers emotionally? As in nothing confrontational and direct? If that's so then it's no wonder Leos don't like me. I tend to just say whatever because I've been spoiled in knowing people who understand what it is I'm actually trying to say, who read between the lines so to speak.
