Control Freak

This topic was created in the Leo forum by Leobaby89 on Saturday, September 16, 2017 and has 9 replies.
My fellow lioness do you all struggle with always wanting to be in control? When you find things out of your control is it hard for you to handle it? Have you pushed people away because of the need to control everything? To the men reading this have you dealt with a Leo lady who acts like this and how did you handle it?
Yeah im a control freak. Its hard for me to let a man have the control in the relationship or arrangement. I know from passed experiences, guys don't like that and actually get very turned off when they see a girl act this way especially since leo girls come off as ladies(innocent) they're kind of shocked when they see we want to dominate.

I've also dated guys who have no problem letting me lead. I do however want to be with someone who takes charge, i personally don't want to dominate but if i feel like i cant trust the person im dating(im usually right) then that's when i naturally want to dominate for the sake of my heart and i know it may come off as bad sometimes but we don't have bad intentions when doing this. Some people don't understand this and that's fine.

In the end why be with someone who brings out that side of you? Be with someone who brings you peace.

I have days where i feel like am i too much? too dominate? too trusting? too caring? and the answer is no, its not you its them. One day you will find someone who wants all of those things in a girl, dont doubt yourself.

I really admire Leo ladies for their strength, courage, and the way they can lead. Also for their self-confidence which I think can be mistaken as egocentric. As a Pisces, I learn from them constantly about self-love and self-confidence which is much needed. Don't ever doubt yourselves, just shoot for finding someone who can be your equal and is comfortable with being with someone who is very strong (a great trait to have imo). I do have a lot of Aries in my chart though, so maybe that makes me bias lol.


Lol. Yes you may be a little biased ?. As for our self-confidence, a lot of people do mistake it for being egocentric but in all honesty we have so many hidden insecurities (at least all the Leos I know) and will put our love ones before us any day.

It`s not just that isn`t it? You also need forceful guys who can keep up with your fire am I right? I am asking, because I am a mellow or even passive taurus with a knack for fire women. They all seem to think that I am a pushover and submissive. We get along great until they start bossing me around. I immediately put them in their place, but they all think that we had a silent agreement, that I let them compensate my mellowness with my fire. There is always a huge clash, many get loud, make ultimatums and I tell them to fuck off.

That pattern happens all the time. I guess I should not date fiery women at all. What do you guys think?

Can you be with a passive guy without taking the lead or at least not think that he is a pushover?

Those who are passive drive me insane. I get "bossy" when I think you're incapable of leading and making the right decisions. Maybe it's a huge clash because they do not expect it and you've allowed them to take the lead and now you're showing them someone different.

First off i like taurus with leo. Second, yes fire signs are hot and everything lol but they ARE a fire sign and even though we come off as sweet we can and will put someone in their place if we need to. I dont like doing it and actually i feel horrible about it later and i apologize and do whatever i can to make the other person happy even though i was not at fault, even though its the other person that needs to be sorry. We don't like to be pushed around we like our partner to see us as equal.

I cant be with a passive guy nor a guy who bosses me around, i would like to find a balance and i have been in relationships where it is equal so i know its possible.

No no, thats a misunderstanding, I dont boss around a lot, I end up being bossed around. When I take the lead, I take their opinions into Account. So you dont like to be leaded? In some Situations somebody has to take charge.
