Typical lioness

WHat does a typical lioness do to attract and keep a guy? What strategies do they employ..how do they react and how do they try to captivate him?
Well for me.... honestly I am just myself. Here I am. I am very upfront with who I am when I meet someone. I put my heart on my sleeve even when I meet someone(which I hear can be a bad thing sometimes and have experience this). I am very affectionate with a guy. I love showing affection through words, actions, and sex. Granted this is not 24-7 as I do like my space as equal. I will also talk a guy up alot. Not sure if this is a good thing all the time either, because I know it can lead to bigger egos. Basically in a nutshell I have treated all my loves like A King. Not bowing down to them, but treating them really good and I expect the same in return. I am sure there are more I can think of, but right now they are not coming to me.
aloha....
what do you do to attract a guy. specifics if possible. what actions? do you take action different than any other guys? or do you treat all guys the same because that is a huge confusion for most guys. They watch a girl flirt with them and then go off and observe her flirt with others, then he is confused, not turned off, just confused. Do you treat that special guy a certain way, different than the rest? Or what?

i usually let the guys come to me. i can't say i've ever chased anyone that i actually had feelings for, usually its just for the thrill of the chase. any man that i have dated ive treated like a king, just as the other posters said, and i too wear my heart on my sleeve. as long as i know it will be apprecitated and not taken for granted, i like to spoil my boy with gifts and lavish him with attention.
Maui for me I treat all guys the same. In the beginning at least. Going from square one nothing is different. I am myself however with anyone I meet. I am not worried as to how I will be looked upon. If you dont like me for who I am then look the other way. I dont like fake people, so be upfront with me and be yourself too. Id rather have someone be their true self with me to see if we fit. If I like a guy I will make a move. In 95% of my relationships ive made the first move, I do however expect the guy to do his equal share of work. If im showing you affection through love and words you better be showing it to me back if theres something there. If theres something not there then be honest and upfront with me.
Not to be rude at all:
"i like to spoil my boy with gifts and lavish him with attention." Totally against that! The spoiling of any man, young or old, is bad bad news.
"I am myself however with anyone I meet. I am not worried as to how I will be looked upon. If you dont like me for who I am then look the other way." Great in theory, hard in practice. If you really like someone, than yes, people tend to try to give off a certain perception in order to prevent rejection. Also, Leo's are known for their intense desire for acceptance (hence all of the spoiling w/ gifts and lavished attention)
Don't get me wrong...I agree with what you've both said. But sunniegrrl, what you give has to be in moderation or you will be taken for granted. Rhiannon72, it's great to have confidence in who you are and what you have to offer, but it limits you from realizing the things that make you less attractive. A guy should accept you, flaws and all, but you have to be willing to at least change some of those flaws as a compromise in any relationship. It's only fair.
MC, I'm assuming that your question is based on your leo. For me, personally, I will only flirt and chat up w/ a guy that I'm interested in. However, very rarely am I interested in a guy that I want to be in a long-term relationship with. When I look back on the relationships I've had (2-two year relationships), the pattern I followed was that I really didn't pay much attention to them. I knew them, wasn't completely certain how they felt about me, and after months to years, that's when we'd actually start dating. This is the case w/ my current Aries...we knew each other for about 4 months before he asked me for my #. I didn't pay much attention to him, either...I'd say hi if he were around and strike up a conversation, but i never flirted. If you were to ask me if I saw myself in a relationship w/ him last December...my answer would have been NO.
Does she flirt w/ other guys, but not you? Does she flirt with you and other guys? Is she flirting or is she just being charming? Have you asked her out? (you don't need to tell her your feelings, just ask out to coffee or drinks so the two of you can chat) I wonder, too, if she is completely oblivious to you and your feelings for her, since she only has a business relationship with you. What would you like to see happen?

truth I understand what you are saying and I am one to work on my flaws. Its not that I dont care, in fact I care alot how I treat people and such. I am just saying im upfront and my real self with who I am. If we develop a friendship or relationship and if I need towork on something I will definatly work on it. I give my all in relationships. I guess what im trying to get down to is we just really expect to be treated good, but dont like and make yourself someone your not really. I dont like fakes. For example my ex husband when I first meet him pretending to be someone totally differen than he was, back then I wasnt able to spot it as easy do to me just wanting to be in love. It was also me at fault because I tended to look through rose colored glasses and jump straight to love. I guess what else im saying is pay attention to reality too. I feel with my heart, but alot of times getting caught up in what could be as opposed to what really is can burn you. Also if say I meet a guy and he is upfront and honest about his personality I respect that more. Same with his likes and dislikes. I want the real you after all how can you figure out if you really match up if your not yourself. You can show someone what you mean to them by still being your real self.

I was just wondering what kind of turn-ons, fantasies and fetishes may be common among Aries men...if any aren't too shy to tell me, though I haven't met many shy Aries...it would be appreciated information.
