He’s Trying to Get Your Attention

The key to understanding a distant Leo man is knowing that he’s sometimes acting distant on purpose as a response to you acting distant first. If you’ve been distant lately, don’t be surprised if he is.

Leo men crave attention, especially from those they care about most. Your Leo man will expect a certain amount of attention from you, and he’ll be upset when you’re not giving him that attention.

A Leo man might distance himself from you if his usual attention-seeking behavior isn’t doing the trick. He’ll give you the silent treatment and ignore you, hoping you notice!

If you think your Leo man is acting distant to get your attention, reach out to him. You can ask him to try to get your attention more directly and transparently, but check in and make sure he’s doing okay first.

He Feels Unappreciated

A Leo man pulling away is sometimes a sign that he feels unappreciated. If he does a lot for you and you never acknowledge it, or if you take him for granted, he’ll start to distance himself.

Does your Leo man typically shower you with gifts, but you never give him anything back? Does he do a lot of favors for you, but you rarely thank him or return those favors?

A Leo man will distance himself if he thinks you don’t appreciate him. He has no issue being generous toward the people he loves, but he wants to feel appreciated when he does things for others.

Be sure to thank your Leo man when he does something for you. Try to give him gifts and care for him, too, when you can. Don’t let him do all the work in your relationship, or he’ll start to distance himself.

He Wants Time Alone

If your Leo man disappears and comes back as if nothing happened, he might have just needed some time alone! Even social, extroverted Leo needs time to himself now and then.

A Leo man won’t always know how to ask for time alone. If he’s overwhelmed, he might suddenly become distant because he doesn’t know how else to deal with everything that’s going on.

Instead of saying he wants some time to himself, your Leo man might suddenly ghost you. He might act emotionally distant whenever you try to talk to him. He may physically distance himself, too.

If you think your Leo man wants time alone, give it to him. Encourage him to tell you what the issue is, though. Let him know that you’ll give him space when needed as long as you know that’s what he needs.

He’s Embarrassed

When a Leo man is upset, he might distance himself from those around him. He sometimes does this if he’s embarrassed because he doesn’t want to face everyone!

If your Leo man does something to embarrass himself, he might shut everyone out. He may temporarily distance himself from everyone around him, including you, while he deals with his emotions.

Leo men hate feeling embarrassed. If a Leo man makes a mistake in front of others, he’ll feel ashamed. Even if it’s something minor, he won’t be able to help how upset he gets.

If you purposely embarrass a Leo man, he’ll distance himself from you! If you spill an embarrassing secret of his or call him out in front of all your friends, don’t be surprised if he starts acting distant.

He’s Jealous

A Leo man acting distant could also be a sign that he’s jealous about something. If you notice he always acts distant after you’ve been hanging out with a particular male friend, he might be jealous of him!

Leo men are the jealous type. Some will react to their jealousy by becoming possessive, but others will distance themselves when jealous, especially if they’re not trying to make it an issue.

Your Leo man distancing himself might mean he’s trying to control his possessive behavior. He might know he has no reason to be jealous and doesn’t want to make it an issue when it doesn’t need to be.

He’ll still feel upset, though. Encourage him to open up if he’s distancing himself instead of talking to you. Tell him you want to talk through his jealousy and that he shouldn’t hide his feelings.

He’s Mad at You

If your Leo man is suddenly distant, he might be mad at you. Think about your interactions with him lately. If you’ve had a disagreement, or you potentially did something to upset him, he might be mad.

A Leo man might distance himself when angry because he wants time to calm down. If he thinks he’ll make things worse by talking to you, he’ll keep away from you until he’s more level-headed.

He might also distance himself if you continuously make him angry. He’ll just pull away from you instead of telling you that you’re doing something wrong.

Encourage your Leo man to let you know when he’s mad, but also give him his space. Sometimes, he needs time to calm down, and then he’ll stop acting distant and talk to you.

He’s Unsure About Your Relationship

A Leo man being emotionally distant is sometimes a sign that he’s unsure about your relationship. If he thinks there’s potential things won’t work out, he’ll stop opening up to you.

If a Leo man is reconsidering your relationship, he might start to pull away from you. Instead of opening up more and focusing on bonding with you, he’ll distance himself if he doesn’t see a future with you.

This doesn’t mean that your Leo man will always be unsure about your relationship. He might need time to think things over if he has doubts, but he may realize that he wants to be with you after all.

If you think your Leo man is having doubts, see what you can do to clear those doubts. Show him that you two are compatible and that you are the one for him.

You Bruised His Ego

When a Leo man ignores your texts after an argument or a difficult conversation, it might be because you’ve bruised his ego. If you had to confront him about something or correct him, he might temporarily act distant.

Leo men have huge egos, but they are also easily bruised! Your Leo man might get upset if you correct a mistake of his, especially if you do so in front of others.

His ego will be bruised if you have a disagreement, and it’s clear he was in the wrong. He might come back and apologize later, but he’ll distance himself first to deal with his wounded pride.

If you insult a Leo man or tease him a bit too much, that will bruise his ego, too! Don’t be surprised if he distances himself after you criticize him, even if the criticism is intended to be constructive and helpful.

This magic will make your Leo man want a relationship with you.

He’s Too Prideful to Open Up

If your Leo man is hot and cold, it might be because opening up is difficult! He might start to open up and then pull away when things get uncomfortable.

While Leo men are expressive and emotional, they don’t always like being vulnerable. A Leo man might be too proud to open up fully to you about certain things.

If your Leo man distances himself after intimacy or after he’s opened up about certain things, it might be because he’s embarrassed. He might feel like opening up or expressing himself in certain ways is unbecoming.

If your Leo man is too prideful to open up, he’ll keep distancing himself. You will likely have to be patient with him. Encourage him to open up, and don’t judge him when he does. Show him you won’t think less of him when he’s vulnerable.
