I just realized that all the Leos that I know seem to have a hard time commiting themselves even if they seem to like the other person and they obviously know that the other person likes them back...i am overly confused with this kind of game maybe because im such a go getter..?
This may sound pompous but i don't settle down easily because i can afford everything i need to live, i can fulfil my sexual needs each weekend, and i'm still young enough to know i can have kids in the years to come. I don't need to rush because i'm not needy. i tend to go on holiday on a whim - thinking about it monday and booking it on tuesday, sometimes jetting off on wednesday. if i had a partner this would be very troublesome. It's soooo confining having a permanent partner that doesn't think like me or have the energy that i have.
It depends, i'll only go for girls that can work me up enough. The recent girl from saturday night had a promise ring on. Though at the time i didn't really pay much attention to it i kind of feel like a bastard now.
See the lion's den post i made and you'll understand that i have specific needs in order to be rev'd up. It's not an exhaustive list but its also not a complete list. I guess i can't really explain how i end up with each individual girl. I did enjoy this recent tattoo'd one though.
The trick is to display leo qualities everywhere the girls go before the main club, and then in the club they'll be more receptive to advances and they'll know they'll have to pull off moves that i like in order to progress. They tend to come to be due to my leo ways even when i'd rather they didn't. I can't sit still for long though lol.
Well i couldn't get attached because she was part of a hen party and had travelled 175 miles to my neck of the woods. Must have needed a man there and then because her mate was getting married. I don't really understand the motivations for women. I also kind of have a reputation that i want just take *any* girl home with me. I think blanking some beautiful women helps me. It's not easy to keep my attention. Tight clothes and soft skin help with that a lot though.
I'll add that the tattoo'd girl was wearing leopard suede platform boots, leopard silk skirt, and leopard tight top. This is probably why i ended up with her...i'm a leo after all, and that leopard stuff definitely made me want her.
It's very egotistical to say that you're an ego boost to a leo man. I get my ego boosts from books i write, the work i do and the things i do for my family. I'd never pin my ego on a woman because they are unreliable and usually only around to have fun with me. Once i refuse to perform they find someone else that'll perform for them. Some leo's may get a boost from this but it won't last long. My ego, like my heart, needs protecting from external interference tyvm.

Speaking solely for myself. I struggle with commitment because I want the best everything. I want the best clothes, the best house, the best car, the best career and the best partner. I find that once I am with someone , I always think what if better comes along. It's really that simple for me. The sad part is that often times, better was usually not.

Leos... trouble committing? Surely you jest?
I've never had a problem with committing, it always depended on the other persons level of commitment. If I feel abandoned, or if there is no connection or communication, it's pretty much dead.
I am a Leo woman. And I have no problem committing with someone, I truly love. I won't date or talk to anyone, I have no plans dating. I don't like playing games with people. I am rare as a Leo, i think.

It takes a long time for me to commit, kinda like capricorn. We need to be friends first or it will just be a come and go thing.

I can commit, I just need to know that the person is right for me. Leos are looking for a strong partner who can match us. For me a woman who is confident enough to practically imply or state that I'm hers, will have my FULL attention.
I try to be hesitant with committing but when someone sweeps me off my feet I fall head first. Crazy how I keep opening up my big ars heart like it never been hurt before. IDK if this is true and if it is it could be because they're just careful and aware because a Leo loves hard and hurts hard.
I can say that there are a couple factors as to why Leos tend to have this reputation of non-commitment (or struggles to)
- Leos burn up their love fast because we like to make sure others are entertained. That is why Leos are very passionate and it lures people in. Once that energy burns out it means creativity and interests runs out.
- Leos attracts a lot of people, I don't know how or why but there is always multiple people in line and that makes us indecisive. Because there is so many options, we also feel (maybe subconsciously) that if this person doesn't interests us that much then there's others waiting that might. (If Leos are really in love with the person though, they won't stray and commitment isn't an issue)
- Others signs are not aware of this but we tend to internalise our hurts, and will pretend that everything is fine. We will think we are ready to give love and receive love and shove all traumas under a carpet. Then when we meet someone we like we tend to self-sabotage due to unresolved issues and unknowingly take it out on that person and drive them away. Then we ask ourselves why it didn't work out. It's very subtle but Leos do this a lot. Some don't even realise they are doing it.
- Leos don't like being alone. I think it depresses us ? Some Leos are less like this than others, but they want the stability of a relationship with someone to pamper them but still want to have that freedom to connect with others who might grab their attention if they don't love the person they are with. (Leos often confuses love with lust)
- Leos don't like feeling like they are being owned. It feels that we are getting hidden away or becoming more boring. Clingyness, telling them what they should or shouldn't do, possesiveness scares us. A little display of jealousy flatters us because it shows that you care, but once you get into an arguement with them as to why you saw them flirting, or getting mad that they're receiving attention from others, Leos response will be 'you don't own me, so why the hell are you questioning me?' Or 'you should be proud and show me of, not Getting jealous'.
- Leos have a knack for getting involved with someone they can't have. Wether it is personal circumstances, or whatnot. If they are attracted to someone, they will not stay grounded and charge in anyways. Most of the time because they think things might magically change and it will work out. It generally dont.
- It's hard for Leos to find someone who will love them as much as they love themselves. This really is the bottom line. Commitment doesn't last long or never manifests because it will be very apparent early on wether the person can give Leos the amount of love they expect to get.
Good question. It's funny that I have read so many general sun-sign things that say Leo is so loyal and so relationship-oriented.
I have been wondering whether or not I am a commitment-phobe or not.
I just wonder if there even is a such thing as one person who will meet me on all levels (physical, emotional, mental) but then again I think my standards are skewed... I have been attracting more attention than usual lately but when I try to picture myself with these guys and I'm like "meh"... don't really feel a need to pursue anything. I came out of a situation where I was about to be married and sometimes when I was with them, I was trying to drown out the thoughts of "I feel trapped". Didn't work.
It would probably just take the right person. But Leo is not a sign that has a easy time with long term relationships. Sure we like attention but then we don't like to be bored or caged in (even if we have "clingy" or "jealous" tendencies ourselves).
Sorry if this answer was convoluted. I guess the short version is, it takes the right one and we are more high maintenance than most.
