Understanding a Distant Leo Man (Why? How To Fix?)

If a Leo man is having a bad day, sometimes he’ll react by going out to distract himself. If he’s in a seriously bad mood, though, he might withdraw and take some time to himself.

He will often withdraw if his feelings have been hurt, he’s embarrassed, or if he’s dealing with something personal. He’s not always good about reaching out to others for support.

If a Leo man becomes distant after a fight, he might just be calming down. If he ghosts after a couple of dates, though, that might mean he’s gone for good.

Bad Day

A quiet Leo man is something that catches your attention. He’s usually so loud and full of life! If he’s suddenly quiet and withdrawn, something might be wrong.

He might have just had a bad day. When this happens, he sometimes reacts by withdrawing and being by himself.

He doesn’t always like to bother people when he’s in a bad mood. He likes to be the life of the party. He likes to make other people feel good when they’re around him.

If he’s feeling down after a long day of work, he might just take some time to be by himself. If you two live together, you may notice that he’s unusually moody or quiet.

If he cancels plans last minute, that might also be because he’s just not in the mood. He won’t want to go out if he thinks he’s going to be a downer.

The simple secrets you can use to seduce and keep your Leo man (they work like magic)

Bruised Ego

A Leo man going silent during an argument is a sign that you’ve said something to hurt him.

If something has wounded a Leo man’s pride, he is likely to withdraw. He needs to step away and lick his wounds.

If he is embarrassed or if his ego has been hurt, he’ll become distant as well. This is especially true if you were the one to make him feel that way.

If you two had a fight or you said something hurtful, he might distance himself from you until he feels better.

He will distance himself even more if you are frequently critical of him or if he thinks you’re too judgemental. He doesn’t like to be around people who make him feel bad. Watch what you say to him.

He’s Dealing with Something

Sometimes, the reason for a Leo man distancing himself is that he’s going through something. He won’t always necessarily want to tell you when he’s dealing with a personal issue.

Leo men are sometimes embarrassed by their emotions. If he’s sad about something, he might not reach out to you because he doesn’t want to seem weak.

If you two aren’t that close yet, he’s even less likely to reach out to you. He will prefer to distance himself until he feels better.

Some things are also just too personal, even if he is close to you. He won’t always want you to know when something is going wrong in his life. He may prefer to keep it to himself.

He’s Lost the “Spark”

Sometimes, the reason a Leo man distances himself from his partner is that he no longer feels a connection with them.

If you’ve been with a Leo man for a while and he suddenly stops opening up emotionally, that might be a sign that something is going wrong in the relationship.

If he becomes less and less affectionate, that might mean he’s losing interest or his feelings for you are changing.

Leo men are passionate. They are affectionate partners. When he loves somebody, he wants to make sure that they know it.

If he loses that passion and becomes distant, that might be a sign the relationship is going to end soon.

Hurt Feelings

If you hurt a Leo man’s feelings, he’s going to distance himself from you.

This might just happen temporarily. If you insult him or say something mean during an argument, he’ll take some time away from you until you both calm down or you say sorry.

If somebody else hurts his feelings and he doesn’t want to talk about it with you, he may also withdraw. Sometimes, he’ll want comfort from you. Other times, he’ll want to deal with things himself.

What happens when you ignore a Leo man? It might hurt his feelings. When this happens, he’s likely to withdraw from you. If he feels like you haven’t been spending enough time with him, he might distance himself to get your attention.

If you frequently hurt his feelings because of the things you say, he’s going to become distant as a way to protect himself. He doesn’t want to be around somebody who is always making him feel bad about himself.

He’s Done with You

If a Leo man is giving you the silent treatment, it might be because he’s done with you.

When he’s in an actual relationship with somebody, he won’t just ghost them. He’ll do what needs to be done to break up with them properly.

He may distance himself from his partner before the breakup so that he can properly prepare for the breakup. If you live together, he’ll need time to find another place for example.

If you two have just been on a couple of dates, he won’t always give you the courtesy of letting you know he doesn’t want to see you anymore.

When a Leo man goes silent after a first or second date, you can assume he’s distancing himself permanently unless he gives you a reason to think otherwise.

If you want to know how to get a Leo man’s attention back after he decides he’s done, the best thing to do is just go out and have fun! Show him what he’s missing out on.

He’s Embarrassed

How long does it take for a Leo man to come back to you if he’s hiding in shame? He usually won’t be distant for too long. It depends on why he’s embarrassed.

If he embarrassed himself on a date, he might take a while to reach out to you about going on another one. He’ll be mortified and he’ll want to make sure you don’t think poorly of him.

If you did something to embarrass him, he’ll need some time to get over any hurt feelings. He will distance himself from you so that you can’t continue to embarrass him.

Sometimes, he’s just being overdramatic. Everyone does embarrassing things sometimes! If you show him that everything is fine, he’ll get over his embarrassment and stop being so distant.

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

He’s Unsure

If a Leo man is giving mixed signals, it might be because he’s unsure about how he feels about you. He may be affectionate one minute and withdraw the next if he thinks he’s overdoing it.

When a Leo man is confused in love, he’ll often react by withdrawing. He may need time to think or he may just be afraid of getting too close to you.

He might be thinking about commitment but he’s unsure how you feel about it. Maybe you’ve expressed an interest in an exclusive relationship and he’s the one who isn’t sure about taking that step.

If he thinks you two are getting closer than he is comfortable with, he’ll back off. He’ll distance himself emotionally from you. He’ll stop sharing things. He might just be afraid of getting hurt.

He’s Overwhelmed

Sometimes, the best thing to do when Leo man ignores you is to give him space. If he seems overwhelmed or stressed out, he might just need some time to clear his head.

Leo men overwork themselves sometimes. They take on too many tasks, say yes to too many people, and overpack their social calendars.

He might seem distant when in actuality, he’s just tired and overworked.

He might have to cancel your plans because he’s exhausted or because he double-booked himself.

He may come home after the end of a long day and just not have the mental capacity to chat with you.

If you notice your Leo man seems stressed out and overwhelmed all the time and that he’s becoming distant because of it, try to offer help and support. See if there is anything you can do to take some of the stress off his shoulders.

Once his stress levels are down, he’ll start acting like his old self and he won’t be so distant.

Is your Leo man not communicating with you? Here's the trick to reel your Leo back in.

He’s Jealous

A Leo man might distance himself from his partner if he thinks they are cheating on him or if they frequently flirt with other people.

He does this because he’s jealous and hurt. He hates feeling that way, so he’ll emotionally distance himself as a way of trying to avoid those emotions.

He may also just feel like you are spending too much time with other people and not enough time with him. He’ll react to that by moping until you pay more attention to him.
