Should I wait for a Leo man to contact me? If you’re like women worldwide who wonder, how long can a Leo go without talking to you, you’re not alone.
One of the biggest burning questions I receive from women every day is whether it is best to practice a No Contact Rule with a Leo man when he’s giving mixed signals.
If we haven’t met, I’m Anna Kovach, a relationship astrologer with over twenty years of experience helping women like you to form lasting, loyal relationships with their Leo men, even when they go through their challenging phases.
Practicing a No Contact Rule with a Leo man is not always a cut and dried tactic. There are risks to using this method, but sometimes, pausing contact can be the best way to reel in a Leo who is going astray… if you know the difference between when this tactic is helpful, and when it may backfire.
1. He’s being arrogant
If you follow a No Contact Rule with a Leo man after a breakup, he may feel deeply hurt. But there are some exceptions when it makes sense to pull away from him. One of the ideal times to withhold attention from a Leo guy is when he’s being arrogant.
When a Leo man gets too self-obsessed (and let’s face it, this sign can be a Drama King) it can be time to stop giving him the attention he craves. But, it’s essential to only pull away briefly. Leo men can be far more sensitive than they let on.
You’ll see signs a Leo man wants you back when you stop trying so hard to impress him.
2. He’s flirting with other women
Leo men can be charming and sometimes they let their allure go to their head. It’s not uncommon for a Leo man to overstep boundaries and flirt with an attractive woman, even if he’s interested in you.
But though this can be common, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t respond to let him know it is an overreach. The best way to do this is to pull your attention away.
Avoid texting him first if he’s too seductive with other women. Remind him that you won’t wait around and that he has a choice to make. A Leo man who thinks he might have lost you will realize he’s been careless. He’ll refocus on you if you give him a few days with no contact.
3. He crosses a boundary
Leo men are larger than life, which is why so many women fall for them. But their gregarious personality is not without setbacks, such as their tendency to overstep. They can be so eager to take charge that they cross boundaries and can even become overbearing at times.
If your Leo man is becoming too bossy, or crossing a line even if he means well, you can help him course-correct by pulling away. Follow a brief period of No Contact- a few days is all it should take- to get your Leo man to resume his interest in you.
4. He is being overprotective
Leo men can be loyal and protective. They love the attention they receive from being paternal and caring. But if he’s going overboard with the overprotective energy, he might just need a reminder that you are independent and don’t need him to hover. The easiest way to do this is to slow your response time.
Take a more gradual approach to replying to his texts, and avoid initiating contact. When your Leo sees that you are pulling away, he will realize he is coming on too strong. Wondering how to make a Leo man feel guilty for hurting you and being too controlling? Stop initiating contact and let him cool off.
5. He’s sending mixed signals
If your Leo guy has you confused, acting obsessed with you one minute and distant the next, you need to take control of the relationship. He may send mixed signals when he fears missing out or has cold feet about committing. But if he’s on the fence, you can get him to clarify his priorities.
Use a No Contact Rule with a Leo man to show him what life is like without you. You can get him to focus on you by refusing to play his games. Instead of chasing him, tap the breaks and give him a chance to miss you.
A No Contact Rule with a Leo man’s psychology requires him to spend time alone so he will want you back.
6. He’s too slow to commit
Leo men are often passionate and decisive, but sometimes, a Leo guy may turn cold when you thought he was ready to settle down.
What gives? Is he just playing you? Sometimes you have to know how to play a Leo man at his own game. If he’s slow to commit, stop being so available. Why give endlessly to a guy who isn’t giving you his full devotion?
You can make a Leo man realize how much is at stake if you practice a No Contact Rule when he becomes indecisive. If he’s shutting down and pulling away, don’t chase him. You might be tempted to pursue him, but your best options is to make him chase you by kickstarting his interest. Some down time alone, questioning where you are and what you’re doing, will make a Leo man obsessed with you all over again.
7. He is too focused on his ambitions
A Leo man who becomes entrenched in ambitions and focused on the attention he gets from his career can unintentionally neglect the ones he loves. When a Leo guy has stardom, fame, and fortune on his mind and wanders away from you, lure him back by reminding him how much he misses you when you stop reaching out.
Make him work for your attention and don’t respond to him right away.
Avoid making the first contact and let him have as long as it takes to feel your absences. It shouldn’t take more than a week for a Leo man to come back around and try to impress you.
Once you’ve put this tactic into motion, let me know how it goes. I can’t wait to hear from you!
