My “Miss You” Take
When it comes to the signs a Leo man misses you, they often sneak into the spaces between his usual grand gestures.
I remember working with Mia (not her real name), who was heartbroken over her Leo ex.
At first, his silence seemed definitive, but then subtle things began to happen.
He tagged her in a social media post about their favorite road trip.
A late-night text followed: “Remember when we found that hidden diner? Best pie ever.”
For a Leo, missing someone isn’t just about longing; it’s about wanting to share their world again—starting with the memories they can’t let go of.
What I found fascinating about Mia’s story was how her ex mixed his vulnerability with his typical bravado.
He didn’t outright say, “I miss you,” but his actions were loud enough to fill the gaps.
It’s the Leo way:
Weaving nostalgia into bold but indirect gestures.
