I feel as if this post has been done before...Heck I may have done one a year ago. There seem to be a lot of questions regarding Leos (a lot about Leo Men too). So if you don't feel like posting a new topic but just want to pick a Leo's brain, feel free. Fellow Leos please chime in as well.

Here are some brainstorming questions to get the ball rolling. Feel free to answer:

What is the most you've spent on a first date? (Because we love our grand gestures don't we?)

What is your favorite sexual position? (Because...yeah...)

What is the largest number of suitors or romantic prospects you've had at any one time?

Have you ever cheated on someone? (Only the bold should answer this one)

What was your favorite subject in school?

For house things, yep! For myself? Nope. I tend to wear all black most of the time.

What misunderstandings do people often have about Leo traits?

The following descriptions are typical, I find:


Commonly listed Leo positives

- Confident

- Generous

- Loyal

- Warm

- Affectionate

- Ambitious



Commonly listed Leo negatives

- Egotistical

- Pretentious

- Domineering

- Melodramatic

- Vain

- Jealous

I love bright colors, my fav is Gold. I'm brown skinned so that's mostly why I guess.

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever taken a man out on a really expensive date. The dates I've taken former lovers on were just simple--dinner, movies, what have you.

What is your favorite sexual position? (Because...yeah...)

Because...yeah...WE LOVE SEX! LMAO My fav position is either doggy style , or him on top with my legs pinned up.

What is the largest number of suitors or romantic prospects you've had at any one time?

Shame on me, I'm laughing and ashamed as I type this...probably like 4 or 5. Each had it's benefit.

Have you ever cheated on someone? (Only the bold should answer this one)

Nope. Never (LOYALTY ALWAYS COMES UP IN LEO DEscriptIONS).

Do all Leo's like bright colors?
In high school and college I would wear a LOT of bright colors. I was the guy who was cool with wearing pink, aqua blue, purple, orange, even silver. After college I toned down the bright colors, but kept buying an assortment of berry colored shirts (purples, blues, red) that matched my style better. I've been that way ever since. If I see a pink shirt I like, I'll buy it. Certain colors don't bother me the way they bother some men.


I like black too
It's just so clean and elegant. I also have a Uranus/Pluto conjunction, so I like the macabre a bit more smile

Huh, didn't expect this to get resurrected.

Well first, I'm going to point out the fact that you're ignoring a red flag from the start. He served time for a DUI? I know several people who received DUIs and none of them served any real time (aside from being taken into the station the night they were cited). What the heck did he do? I guess it also depends on the state's laws as well. You may want to see how many DUIs this guy has. This may point to a potential drinking problem.

I'm assuming that he got cold because he knew he had to serve time for a while and wouldn't be able to do anything for a few months. When Leos have a personal/financial matter to "deal with", there's a chance we will ghost until we rectify the issues. Now on to your question:

"Every Leo I have talked to sends me pictures of their body? HWHY? It ruins it for me because I do not care unless I asked for it or sent some myself. How should I go about approaching him? Or getting him to approach me and be direct. Due to recent events, I’m not good at opening myself up to men.So I'd like to show enough interest without being blunt."

Well it doesn't sound like this guy's pic actually ruined things for you, since you're still interested. That being said, the best approach to get a Leo's attention is the direct approach. We respect it, we see it as a sign of strength which we highly respect. We typically go for confident lovers who know how to pick us out of a crowd. We also like to be pursued to some extent, just so we know that the other person has some conviction. Leo is a sign that knows hot to flirt and play, so when people are blunt with us it can help grab our attention.

We also have big hearts and after we've been hurt at LEAST once, we'll guard it adamantly. We hate being taken advantage of because we know how gullible and generous we can be. So the easiest thing to do in your scenario is to invite this guy out.

One thing to note is that when a Leo guy is interested in you, he'll make a point to invite you out. We're not big texters like some other signs and prefer the direct approach when communicating (phone calls or face to face interactions). Asking you about the music festival could have led to an invite, but it sounds like he didn't really try to push anything. Sending you a pic of his body doesn't really count either. It's forward, but still indirect. He may just like to show off his body to women, that's not uncommon.

You can keep poking at him via social media, but the best route is the direct route.

He opened up to me a little about that. He mentioned he had gone through a hard time with his relationship around Christmas time. The online report said that he was arrested for a DUI. And then arrested again for a DUI the day after. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was going through something hard and making stupid decisions. Prior to that, he has no record. Shit happens, ya know? And yes, he was acting cold because he literally checked in the day that we departed.

Well, it wasn’t about his body. I have a weakness for ‘ballsy’ men. Had I not connected with him that night I would have dismissed his picture. But once I connect with people, I see them in a different light and am more inclined to look past their quirks or things that would normally put people off.

I have not gone out with guys in a long time...I am used to them always asking me out. But I suppose I could see where this leads. The music festival could be fun but I’d rather people not only know me in that way. After all, I met him at a party. And some of his friends have been asking me out but I've politely declined. I'm not looking for a 'good-time' partner at this point, I'm looking for someone to build a life with.

What would be a creative date?

Yeah stuff does happen, it's true.

As far as creative date ideas, I always suggest going to three different places on a date (One for dinner, one for drinks, one for fun/activity, and/or one for dessert). Dinner, drinks, and dessert are all fairly straight forward. Just make sure neither place is too loud so you can actually hear each other. As far as activities there's bowling, miniature golf, museums, karaoke, billiards, etc.

What I DON'T suggest are any places where you can't easily talk and get to know one another. You want to be in an environment without any distractions. Furthermore I suggest avoiding any group dates or situations where friends will be present. This only adds extra pressure early on that could lead to confusion later. Third parties simply get in the way. Also avoid places that may cater to singles, which will only increase your competition. So avoid movies dates, concerts, friend dates, clubs, house parties, etc.

Also go for a date at night (or at least one that will lead into the night). Day dates may send the wrong impression (a "friendly" impression), which could shoot your efforts in the foot. Basically don't do things he would do with his buddies, at least not right now. So no stand alone coffee dates UNLESS it's part of the three activities listed above. Coffee dates are either for friends or for people who are still trying to figure each other out. On it's own, it's not a romantic setting. Daytime activities such as hiking, picnics, the zoo also fall into this category. Just make sure they lead into nighttime activities.

All great ideas, thank you! I am not sure at this point how I feel about him. I know that we connected and at one point my vagina tingled for him. But I'm not a random hook-up kind of woman.

I certainly wouldn't want to be doing anything with him the first date. I know Leo's have a tendency to like the chase or the 'hunt' as you've said before. But I'll have to have a lot of restraint with the night time activities. As I'm afraid I'll be too horny.

Hahah then in that case a coffee date or a hike might make more sense for you. I usually do a pre-date before a date if I need more information on the person.

Greatest number of suitors at a time was two (twice in my life). Once during a breakup with my bf and once with my bf and another guy.

Spent $ 100-200ish-for his Christmas present plus cheesecake (poor uni student life)

Favorite sex position- missionary

Favorite subject - history (virgo moon really liked it)
$ 100- $ 200 is a pretty solid price to spend on a gift for a boyfriend. Also it seems like there are quite a few Leo Suns Virgo Moons on these boards.

Are typical Leo men faithful?

I feel like in a way there is a lot of controversy regarding this topic... Leo is a Fixed sign which suggests they are loyal and faithful but on the other hand Leo thrives on attention and likes adventures (after all the 5th house is ruled by Leo)... perhaps not as much as Aries men do, but still. Some say they only cheat if they don't feel admired enough and don't get enough attention in general.

What are your views on this?
Leos are extremely faithful and loyal when we're in love. I myself have never cheated, nor will I ever cheat. I equate infidelity with weakness and cowardice. I see cheating as an act that is beneath me. I'd rather confront my partner and breakup before I cheat on them. At least then my honor/pride would remain in tact. That being said every sign has the ability to cheat.

Yes Leos love attention, but only immature Leos will seek negative outlets to get it. All Leos are looking for that one true love, that one person who we can share our massive hearts. We are looking for a king/queen who understands us totally. We aren't in love with the idea of love, but love itself. A love so pure that it's almost impossible because our expectation can be SO high.

Also understand that Leos can be insecure and we generally choose to hide our emotions to protect our hearts. So an unfaithful Leo is one who is insecure, seeking constant attention, and looking for love in all of the wrong ways. This Leo has settled for lust or physical love. This is because the Leo was probably hurt in the past and chose to never expose their heart again. A faithful Leo however will pour all of that energy into one person and not seek outside fulfillment.

When a Leo does find that "one" true love, we will hold them above all others. The only attention we need is from our mate.

Do you look down on people?

Big Grin
Me personally? Not really.

Leos, though we can be judgmental, are also one of the more accepting signs in the zodiac. We are comfortable socializing in large groups with different types of people. We can also accept others at face value. Yes some Leos can be egotistical, vain, or even pompous, but generally Leos are generous with big hearts. Leo is also a sign of teaching and learning, so we tend to help others when asked.

I have several other questions smile

Do Leo men like to be dominant in bed?

Are Leo men protective?

Do Leo men make great fathers?
Do Leo men like to be dominant in bed?

Yes, though we also like to be dominated to some degree as well. We like to both give and receive since sex for us is also a display of prowess and skill.

Are Leo men protective?

Yes, very much so.

Do Leo men make great fathers?

Yep, my dad is a Leo. Leos tend to do well with children, especially their own. Leos are generally knowledgeable, adept at teaching, and full of generosity. A good Leo father will also be proud of his kids and invest in them whenever possible.

So, 'some' is the key answer here and so it means it applies differently to each person.

Good thing! smile

Right, also if a Leo is looking down on you, it's probably because you did something that gave them a bad impression about you. Generally Leos are fine with giving everyone a clean slate.
1. Do Leo men love being admired and praised(ie, sunshine blowing up their @ss)?

2. Do Leo men date women they have to compete with? Or they ignore them?

3. Are Leo men controlling?

4. I seem many Leo men with much younger women...Or Leo women with much younger men... What is the deal with that?

What is the most you've spent on a first date?

I don't pay for first dates...but there was this one time in college this idiot brought a check to pay for dinner so I had to pay. I don't remember how much it was.

I will pay for future dates however if they make it that far.

What is your favorite sexual position?

Doggy

What is the largest number of suitors or romantic prospects you've had at any one time?

4 maybe 5 - it was exhausting lol, I usually limit myself to 2 or 3 but usually there is 1 I'm seriously interested in.

Have you ever cheated on someone?

Yes. Twice. First one he was a P.O.S. so don't feel bad at all about it. 2nd one.... I did feel guilty at times. But he did not satisfy me sexually and he was emotionally abusive.

What was your favorite subject in school?

History


Love the honesty, also you're the second history person it seems.

3. Are Leo men controlling?

4. I seem many Leo men with much younger women...Or Leo women with much younger men... What is the deal with that?
1. We loved admiration, but only if it's genuine. I has a Taurus woman as a business partner who would compliment me all of the time. I could tell when she was being honest versus when she was attempting to manipulate me. She did both so often that they actually balanced out, so my responses were always neutral.

I'm usually a bit shocked when I am praised under random circumstances. I think all Leos know their strengths and weaknesses to a degree, so receiving an unexpected compliment can can really grab our attention.

2. Depends on what you mean by "compete". Leos admire strength and intellect, so we typically want a partner who can rival our own. We tend to ghost on partners who lack confidence or have low self esteem. Also remember that Leo men are equipped to date Leo women, who usually are pretty tough. We Leos all like a good challenge though (sometimes to our own detriment).

A Leo who is secure in themselves won't really perceive others as competition. There is a common misconception that Leos will date "down" so that we don't share the spotlight with our partner. This isn't the case in most scenarios. Generally a Leo will date "down" because we want to be appreciated by the other person. Leo's are looking for that one perfect love who understands us totally.

All of that being said, we won't go for a woman whose ego is larger than our own. If a woman acts as if she is too good for us, then yeah we will ignore her and not waste our effort.

3. Some can be. Leos can be possessive and jealous like Scorpios. These Leos are typically overcompensating for a lack of self confidence or low self esteem though. If we are secure in ourselves we don't need to feel controlling.

4. Hahah, you know what the deal is. Leos reeeaaally like beauty and we reeeeally like sex. We are also high energy people who like to have fun. So dating younger people helps to scratch that itch. I know plenty of Leos who will date older people though too. We also like confidence, emotional security, and true love.

You seem like a very mature Leo, so I'll ask you about some less mature ones I've known. What do you think drives some Leo men to insist on their own opinions over yours, sometimes to the point of trying to tell you what you yourself think or feel?

It could be coincidence that I've encountered this with Leos. It has mostly happened to me in astrology forums like this.
Thank you for the compliment. Leos do like to control our environment. We are a creative force that come from the realm of self expression after all. The world as a result is our canvas, our plaything in some respects.

Leos can feel like the world revolves around us when we are younger. This however should slowly fade with time as we age, but that's not always the case. Not everyone matures emotionally/mentally at the same rate.

A mature Leo understands that we are not perfect beings. We all have room to grow and become better people. We also understand everyone is entitled to their own thoughts, lives, and opinions. We can't expect everyone to follow our way of thinking at all times. Immature Leos however didn't get this memo.

Leos understand that attention is power, having people on your side is power. A mature Leo knows how to persuade and influence others, while an immature Leo only knows how to force and push. A mature Leo will teach and/or lead by example. An immature Leo will command and demand fealty from on top of their high horse.

Any person though who tries to control another person is doing so out of fear (a lack of confidence). This is especially true for an immature Leo. A Leo's ego can be a shield that hides a host of insecurities. You'll notice the bigger the ego, the bigger the insecurities. A mature Leo feels more secure, so our egos aren't as painfully obvious.

Leos also have HIGH expectations of those around us and we can also be VERY opinionated. We also can be stubborn and dislike having our ideas critiqued. So when an immature Leo lashes out, it's because they feel like they are being personally attacked. Again this stem from their own insecurities.
I'm a Cancer girl. I'd been taking to this Leo for about 2 weeks. He was texting me every day for 2,3,4 hours or sometimes the whole evening.

Anyways, he said some things that rubbed me the wrong way. He called me "cold," actually he phrased it as a question. When I asked him why he thought I was cold, he told me that I seemed "indifferent," that I didn't care if I ever talked to him again, etc. I assured him that none of that was true, but being called "cold" really struck a nerve with me. I brought up his behavior/comments and told him his words "felt belittling." I could tell he became really angry. His first text said something like, "This isn't gonna work," "See ya around. I said, "If that's how you feel." He then told me I was "too sensitive," and "didn't understand him at all." Next, he deleted me from Facebook.

(I just don't want to be in a verbally abusive relationship. Telling someone why you think they're cold is cruel to me.) My goals was to set boundaries not hurt him... Do Leos ever apologize or change their behavior after overreacting? Is he just mad? Do you think I'll hear from him again?

So there's a few things here. First I'm going to guess there's some context missing here (for example what you were talking about when he called you cold, what your conversations were like for those 2 weeks, etc). I say this because I have close Cancer friends who tend to hide/withhold certain details when relaying an emotional story. The more context I have, the better the response will be.

That being said, one thing to understand is that Leos are more sensitive than we appear. We also aren't always the best at receiving criticism (this is more so the case with immature Leos). Cancers have a way of poking at emotional topics that Leos tend to avoid. That's because we guard our hearts adamantly. If we do open up to you emotionally, we want our partner to tread lightly around our feelings. However we're not always great at being sensitive to other people's feelings. Leos have big paws and can be heavy-handed, blunt, and even judgmental. We can rub more emotionally sensitive people the wrong way.

Also remember that Leos are generally sunny people. We don't live in the realm of emotion like Cancer does. We prefer not to get lost in deep emotional contemplation. We like to act out our passions and follow our hearts instead. We can move/react fast as a result. Cancers on the hand tend to keep more to themselves and take time to open up emotionally. Cancers can appear to be "moody", being able to display both happiness and sadness equally. So to a Leo, a Cancer may appear to be "cold" at times.

So in this scenario, the Leo felt that your demeanor was "cold" because he probably prefers a woman who is generally more positive or action prone. As a Cancer you were probably taking things slower than he anticipated, since it's only been two weeks. He became impatient. The Leo made his comment without considering your feelings. His criticism clearly irked you which prompted you to retort. As a Cancer you let the Leo know how his comment made you feel and he became sensitive to your criticism. His pride was bruised, so he shut you out.

This guy definitely overreacted and it's good to set your boundaries. The question is, do you even want someone like this around? Leo pride can definitely get in the way of an apology if we don't think we were wrong. Even if we overreact we may justify our actions. My advice would be to let him go for now. If he comes back around and tries to talk to you, let him know his actions were not cool. If he doesn't come back, don't waste your time thinking about him.

My question: Why is Aries woman and Leo man considered to be a match made in heaven?

As an Aries woman I have never been attracted to Leo men. I've always liked Sagittarius men and now I'm married to one. Leo men, how do you feel about Aries women? I feel like this match is way overrated.
Funny thing is, while I'm surrounded by Aries energy, I've never met an Aries woman I wanted to date. While I generally tend to like/befriend Aries people, I find Aries women to be a bit too bossy/controlling for me. I think Leos and Aries can get along very well and there are definitely a variety of shared interests between the two, but I agree that this pairing is more hype than substance.

I however am drawn to Aries Moon people and I am also an Aries Rising. So it's not impossible, but I've yet to the drawn to an Aries Sun woman romantically.
I find that Leo males always come on strong when I first start talking to them. Why?

This actually scares me off every time...

I'm a Cancer girl. I'd been taking to this Leo for about 2 weeks. He was texting me every day for 2,3,4 hours or sometimes the whole evening.

Anyways, he said some things that rubbed me the wrong way. He called me "cold," actually he phrased it as a question. When I asked him why he thought I was cold, he told me that I seemed "indifferent," that I didn't care if I ever talked to him again, etc. I assured him that none of that was true, but being called "cold" really struck a nerve with me. I brought up his behavior/comments and told him his words "felt belittling." I could tell he became really angry. His first text said something like, "This isn't gonna work," "See ya around. I said, "If that's how you feel." He then told me I was "too sensitive," and "didn't understand him at all." Next, he deleted me from Facebook.

(I just don't want to be in a verbally abusive relationship. Telling someone why you think they're cold is cruel to me.) My goals was to set boundaries not hurt him... Do Leos ever apologize or change their behavior after overreacting? Is he just mad? Do you think I'll hear from him again?
So there's a few things here. First I'm going to guess there's some context missing here (for example what you were talking about when he called you cold, what your conversations were like for those 2 weeks, etc). I say this because I have close Cancer friends who tend to hide/withhold certain details when relaying an emotional story. The more context I have, the better the response will be.

That being said, one thing to understand is that Leos are more sensitive than we appear. We also aren't always the best at receiving criticism (this is more so the case with immature Leos). Cancers have a way of poking at emotional topics that Leos tend to avoid. That's because we guard our hearts adamantly. If we do open up to you emotionally, we want our partner to tread lightly around our feelings. However we're not always great at being sensitive to other people's feelings. Leos have big paws and can be heavy-handed, blunt, and even judgmental. We can rub more emotionally sensitive people the wrong way.

Also remember that Leos are generally sunny people. We don't live in the realm of emotion like Cancer does. We prefer not to get lost in deep emotional contemplation. We like to act out our passions and follow our hearts instead. We can move/react fast as a result. Cancers on the hand tend to keep more to themselves and take time to open up emotionally. Cancers can appear to be "moody", being able to display both happiness and sadness equally. So to a Leo, a Cancer may appear to be "cold" at times.

So in this scenario, the Leo felt that your demeanor was "cold" because he probably prefers a woman who is generally more positive or action prone. As a Cancer you were probably taking things slower than he anticipated, since it's only been two weeks. He became impatient. The Leo made his comment without considering your feelings. His criticism clearly irked you which prompted you to retort. As a Cancer you let the Leo know how his comment made you feel and he became sensitive to your criticism. His pride was bruised, so he shut you out.

This guy definitely overreacted and it's good to set your boundaries. The question is, do you even want someone like this around? Leo pride can definitely get in the way of an apology if we don't think we were wrong. Even if we overreact we may justify our actions. My advice would be to let him go for now. If he comes back around and tries to talk to you, let him know his actions were not cool. If he doesn't come back, don't waste your time thinking about him.

Right before he called me "cold," he said something along the lines of "not as happy as seeing your face, but alas." I replied, "Yep, alas." (This was after he tried to get me to come over to his house on the drop of a dime at 7-8 p.m. on a Friday night. I tried to get him to compromise and make plans, but he refused. He suffers from depression, and seems to be a habitual "I-don't-make-plan-guy," even though it seemed like he wanted to meet me.) I've also never met him in person (we met on a dating site). We had been talking for 2 weeks, and struck up a really intense connection. The last 2 days I felt like I was walking on eggshells around him because he would get so angry if I didn't say something just the right way. While I like him, I don't know if I can deal with the drama. I have health problems, and actually wound up catching a cold (first time in 3-5 years) after I called him out for calling me "cold," etc.

I was also very open about my feelings with him. I've come to realize my Cancer ways of keeping to myself are a big part of the reason I've not had a lot of serious relationships. I've also been doing a much better job of staying positive in the face of obstacles. So, I've changed a lot from my usual Cancer self (before meeting him). Still very good at reading others' emotions though... Anger is an emotion. Wish more guys (like this guy) would realize that... Thank you for not automatically taking his side because he is a Leo. (I do not intentionally hurt others' feelings ever, but also refuse to be a doormat. I was with a Sag before, and that was one of our relationship problems, which I've regretted for years, so I didn't want to make the same mistake of being too passive and letting things slide which really aren't okay.)

I won't be contacting him, but if he does contact me he had better change his tune. Listing all of the reasons you think someone else is cold is not okay. I'm talking to a Taurus now, probably a much better match... Live and learn, I guess?

That all makes sense. His depression explains both his mood and erratic behavior. This means he's going to have moments when he lashes out. It has nothing do with with you, it's just what he's probably like normally. HOWEVER that doesn't mean you need to put up with it. While Leo and Cancers can work well together, there needs to be understanding and communication. It doesn't sound like this guy is capable of either. It's definitely best to move on from this guy.

I have several other questions smile

Do Leo men like to be dominant in bed?

Are Leo men protective?

Do Leo men make great fathers?
Do Leo men like to be dominant in bed?

Yes, though we also like to be dominated to some degree as well. We like to both give and receive since sex for us is also a display of prowess and skill.

Are Leo men protective?

Yes, very much so.

Do Leo men make great fathers?

Yep, my dad is a Leo. Leos tend to do well with children, especially their own. Leos are generally knowledgeable, adept at teaching, and full of generosity. A good Leo father will also be proud of his kids and invest in them whenever possible.
I think any sign can be a good or bad father. But from experience, my Leo father was extremely self-centered. He was a mama's boy and he would seek attention from everyone to make people feel sorry for him. He always came first before anyone or even responsibilities. He was highly inconsiderate and always focused on what was in it for him. He was verbally abusive when he didn't get his way and didn't take responsibility for any of his actions.
click to expand
Yeah it's true. A sun sign doesn't determine if a man will be a good father.
I know everything there is to know about Leo's ... ahhh gotta love u guys!

Hmm - I read earlier Leos like strength and intellect. And I also notice that Pisces women come across as weak, sensitive, gullible. I thought they would be draining for a leo man but time and again I find them fairly attracted to a Pisces woman?

I know one - he is a Sag moon.

What do you think?
I've heard this as well. I've met chill Pisces women, and from what I can tell they can be fairly low maintenance for a Leo. Pisces are also similar to Leo in that that they can be around a variety of different people. Pisces can also be very accepting and romantic which would vibe with a Leo man.

All of that being said, personally I've never met a Pisces woman I would want to date. I say that as a Leo with apparently dominant Pisces energy in my chart. I've met strong willed Pisces women and more complacent Pisces women. In both cases they all seemed a bit too hot/cold to me. At one moment they are pleasant and the next they are distant and possibly irritable. The here today and gone tomorrow energy throws me off. I also tend to be attracted to stronger sexual energy and I've yet to feel that from a Pisces woman.
Posted by cinnamonapples
And if a leo guy is virgin, would he still have a high sex drive? I know one, I caught him glancing a few times. It was an intense stare, at my face. I'm not sure if that had to do with what he was thinking or just the fact that he has big eyes. But then again I thought he was kind of inexperienced with women, I got a virgin feel. I am one so I could relate. The stare was hard to distinguish from lust vs adoration.
Oh his sex drive may even be stronger because he's a virgin. He may have some outlets to relieve the sexual tension, but nothing beats the real thing.

Leo isn't a sign that needs mental stimulation or emotional understanding like some of the other signs. Do we appreciate/want those aspects in a partner? Yes (I do for sure). HOWEVER Leo also needs raw passion and the physicality that comes with it.

Him full on staring though is a bit creepy and definitely points to his overall lack of knowledge regarding the opposite sex (i.e. you). As a man it is important that he opens his mouth and speaks to you like a normal human being. That way you'll know what his intentions actually are.
Hey! I have questions for about Leos. So, if a leo was interested in a girl (me) and asked her out right away and took her where she wanted to go and they hit it off real quick. Had a great connection and a lot of passion and fun, but then he went above and beyond for her and did something for her and later when she wasn't thinking straight she kind of took it for granted but then apologized sincerely and let him know directly that she really really appreciates what he did and knows how caring it was, would he be mad? How long would he ignore her for? Or would he just drop her right away or would he just need some time? And what should she do? Should she keep showing him in little direct ways through social media that shes interested or what? I've never been with a leo man before, my beset friends have been leos but I'm so clueless about leo men but I REALLY really like him.
Me @ Leo men

Lmfaooo I'm so attracted to Leo energy. There's this guy that I instantly felt attracted to. He was flamboyant and confident and just umf. Turns out he's bi. And a Leo, surprise surprise.

I'm still attracted to him, even though I usually would stop once I found out his sexual preference.

Nothing wrong with Being bi ? I just find it scarier to be in a relationship bc bam they could leave me for EITHER gender .

Still think he's attractive

Is it a bad idea to pursue him? Probably

Will I do it anyway? LMFAOO yeah

More context would help. Cancers tend to withhold emotional information, so I'm pretty sure there's more story here.

If you apologized, I'm sure it will be fine. Also Leos respond to a more direct approach. Little things on social media won't really inspire a reaction from us. Social media tends to be pretty, "meh" for us. We may use it for convenience, but may also have a take it or leave it attitude as well.

Can a leo man play on you though? 90% of leo men I came across were friendly, enthusiastic, and seemed pretty loyal. Except this one - older guy in early 30s. Talked about hooking up right away - dang I thought he was after sex that's it, so I asked him and made it known I was looking more for a real relationship in case he misunderstood my intentions. He confirmed he understood and was looking for a long-term relationship. I felt uncomfortable at times talking to him - he was still highly sexed, that's all he talked about. Thought I were too inexperienced to feel comfy around him - told him, we don't talk anymore.

You think he might be a play boy or simply high libido but emotionally unavailable?



Yes Leo men can be players.

I can't say for sure, but he switched his position pretty fast, so I'm going to guess he's a player. My gut tells me he said he wanted a relationship because YOU said you wanted a relationship. By agreeing with you he hoped to get closer to you. Unfortunately this guy isn't bright and he didn't turn down his overtly sexual demeanor. Also he ghosted when you said you were too inexperienced to feel comfortable around him. Sounds like he decided you weren't worth it and cut his losses.

It's no real loss on your part though. Also Leos generally have high sex drives (unless there are some other underlying medial or psychological issues), so that's nothing new.

Though I get the idea that most like straight forwardness. How exactly to do that and overcome nerves is the challenge :p One day...
Just be yourself. If nothing else, ask interesting questions to open the other person up and get them talking. For example:

1. What was the craziest thing you've ever done?

2. If you could change something about yourself what would it be?

3. What's one dream you want to see realized?
Do Leo guys date younger?

For instance if I was in high school hypothetically speaking and he was several years out 4 years or more, hypothetically speaking, would he show interest in me or would I just be crazy?

Leos will date younger, but if you're in high school a guy who is 4+ years out probably won't be interested for a number of reasons:

First, if you're in the U.S. there are statutory rape laws that basically prevent anyone from dating a minor (under the age of 18) who isn't within 3 years of age them.

Second, you also have to factor in the age of consent. Meaning you may be too young to consent to sexual activity, which would put that Leo guy in a lot of trouble with the law.

Third, there is a huge gap in maturity between someone in high school and someone who is 4+ years out. There is a very low chance that you two will be emotionally and mentally compatible. Even if you feel you are mature for you age, there are life experiences you don't have yet that take time to learn.

My advice is to go for a guy closer to your own age. Any guy who is 4+ years out of high school who is still trying to attract someone in high school has some serious issues.
Heeeelp me. I have this Leo interested in me that I already picked to marry as a last resort if I'm still single by 30 (he doesn't know this yet ?). I dun want to scare him away... ? what do I do with him! Why is he still interested in me even after I disappeared on him a few times? My problem is he travels a lot.. I don't like guys who travel a lot for work. They need to come home to me. Idk if you guys are susceptible to cheating if opportunities allow. Idk what to do with him.

I like you guys. I always want to touch y'all and be held in your big, warm arms ?

Just because a Leo travels for work doesn't mean he'll cheat on you. If he's going to cheat on you, he'll do it even if he doesn't need to travel. The Leos I know (including myself) would never cheat. We'd prefer to just end things instead of tarnishing our reputations.

My advice would be to stop disappearing on him if you like him before he starts to think that you are just playing games with his head.

You guys ever shy around anyone? How to get close to you if you are surrounded by popular real outgoing great looking women, and we are on the quieter end (thee shy/geeky kinds)? And you guys ever distinguish between cute/shy vs hot - trying to better understand your preferences for larger sexual energy like you mentioned the other day
It can happen, though Leo shyness tends to fade with age (and popularity). I personally was much shyer as a kid, not so much anymore. My shyness has evolved into a more calm nature and I don't feel fear engaging anyone.

If you are a shy person looking to grab a Leo's attention there are two methods. A) just approach him and ignore the consequences. Your boldness will resonate with him (and those around him). If you act like you BELONG there, then you most definitely do. Leo's respect the direct approach. B) Grab his attention when he's not surrounded, which can be difficult to do. Try grabbing his number from him and giving him a call.

There is a lot of value in a geeky type of girl, especially for a Leo. I've also found the shy geeky girls can wind up bring fairly "hot" down the line. Just be confident in your own attributes.

At times I think about being direct and then dismiss that thought because I am afraid I don't belong in his friend circle that seems so elite. Sure I would like to be friends with him but is there a chance I hurt his pride because his friends make fun of him for being seen with a mousy person. Unless he makes a move - I prefer this.
It's up to you. I'll say from personal experience, I've wound up dating women simply because they practically DEMANDED my attention. The beauty of being with a Leo is that if we see some effort from your end, we will help you the rest of the way.
