Why not to date a Leo...

Leo:
Looking for an easygoing, low-maintenance, and independent partner? Someone who can always roll with the punches, never takes anything personally, and is always able to separate their ego from the situation at hand? Well, then avoid Leos at all costs. If you're dating a Leo, you're going to need lots of Power Naps because these folks are as high-maintenance as they come. If you can manage to call and/or stop by to tell them they look good, did good, and that the color of the sweater they're wearing really brings out their eyes -- at least 18 times a day -- they'll be mildly placated. If you don't, they'll pout and say you don't love them anymore. Too bad the reason you didn't call was because you were having surgery. Couldn't someone else dial the phone for you? Be prepared for your life to turn into a soap opera, too. With Leo, High Drama is the only way to go, and Big Entrances and Big Exits, are the only way to get there. Most important of all, don't ever stand in their spotlight -- which is anywhere people gather in groups of more than one.

Don't date a Leo...somehow they like to convince you that they are doing YOU a favor by wanting you....lol
If you are Pretty, dignified & loves life..Date a Leo by all means. Forget about all the negative you have read abotu them or even experienced. There are lots of wonderfully delightful ones around.
If you have jsut started dating a LEO..oops pardon me ..if the leo has just started dating you....just relax and sit back and enjoy all the attention ..and look into his eyes with full appreciation..talk excitedly. He will think he is a great success and you will have a real Prince Charming romancing you ..like you have never been romanced before.
And regarding polishing his ego..there are two things : 1) If you really love him ..you will know his exact needs..which are really not much & 2)He should be Happy with HIMSELF to begin with. Yes that is the key...the LEO has to be HAPPY with himself first.

No matter how much they care about you..... sometimes at the most crucial moment they forget to think of you and how you feel, and it bloody hurts when they do.
Wow, what hate for Leo's. Of course, we are ALL alike. Not one of us is different, right?
Let me tell you, as a love partner, I am ALL about my mate. I shower affection, love and attention over the man I am in love with. True, I have all the other Leo traits, but in moderation. You see, I have grown up alot through life experiences, therapy and 12 step recovery. I KNOW I like to be the center of attention, and sometimes I am, when appropriate. I care about others today, not just myself. I do not live by the "It's all about me" principle".
Leo's are very open, warm, engaging. I truly do love to love my partner, and if your Leo is hurting you then I am really sorry for your pain.

I can attest that we are not for the faint hearted 
Ha I'm a Leo and that is all very true. But I'm not really a big spotlight person. I like a lot of attention from my guy thought. And if I don't get it I'll go somewhere else.

Speaking as a Lioness, the reasons I can see not to date a Leo are
if you are not happy with yourself. If you feel this way, it's kinder to let us know early on so we can find the balance of being there for you and for ourselves. We feel deeply and we struggle for balance. We hurt to see people we care about hurting. If we like and love you, what's so hard about liking and loving yourself?
if you don't know what you want from yourself or from a relationship. We can love with our whole heart so be aware of that. It is hard for a Leo to pull back once we do love and I certainly do not believe you can love halfway.
if you are not ready to be appreciated and you are not up to giving what you get. Insecurity and immaturity are headaches.
Leos want to be respected and we want affection and some people confuse this with wanting to be adored. I don't need someone to flatter me. I need someone who is real and honest, who can stand up to me and also stand up for himself.
your right about that "We hurt to see people we care about hurting. If we like and love you, what's so hard about liking and loving yourself?

BINGO.... for me as a Taurus ...I am very slow to anger and after one year of madness I am finally angry at him..I truly adored my leo with my all and for the whole year Have been in quite a stupor over the insane hot cold hot cold hot cold hot cold....when we are together I am so taken by him and the dangerous romance he showers upon me. I am truly enveloped by his professions of true love for me . He speaks of moving to the mountains to live out a future free of the extremes of society and to bask in the glow of our love for each other lived out in the mountain and river life of california. We spend hours conversing about everything under the sun all the while playing,laughing,gazing into love lorn eyes for each other.The nights spent just delighting in our ipod music alone are legendary not to mention the delicious passion we share not just between the sheets but out of it.... WAKE UP ROCKTRESSA I MUST BE DREAMING.... because the cold hard facts are that more times than I care to count for all those legendary love picadillos have been slighted by his total lack of comminucation ....when I think of it, for the last year ... for all the glorious times we spent together are .... mangled by his extremely poor lack of comminucation ...I mean on average for every 1 day we were together (where he promised to improve his communication skills to me) we were apart for 5-6 days and he was very bad at not so much as a text message or returning a call.I didnt text or call too much and kept it minimal.I decided that since no call or any thing from him on new years eve even though he agreed to c me after work .. as a taurus I absolutely require stability and proof of words through actions... to sum it all up... this Leo has taken me on a roller coaster ride I will never completely get over but My Brain told me today (JAN 1st 2011) that MY heart is retarded and to not allow any more scars from him. For the sake of my sanity.... I have to let him go ...Im praying for the strength to stop this madness.Happy new year to me.

I dated a leo for over a year. Needless to say I learned how to compliment and flatter like nobodies business. So no I have to calm the compliments down to basically nothing now that I like a scorpio. Funny how dating different signs changes. You got the leos who will literally be butt hurt if you don't say they were amazing in bed everytime. And then you got the scorpios who get annoyed when you flatter them if they feel like they we're superb in bed. Keeps things interesting tho *Shrugs*
^^^ Hehe welcome to what I had to deal with for 3 yrs (when we were on and off after the relationship). I guess libras get along better with water signs then they do fire signs cus I found it was easier when I first started dating my leo. Maybe because me and him were both fire signs. We butt heads a lot now tho so idk :/ This scorpio is kinda hard to figure out tho. Was your scorpio hard to read or did he let you know when he wanted to date? Mine told me we should take it slow because he doesn't want things to go wrong, but he said that a few weeks ago...should I be waiting for him this long? (a month or 2)
^^ Yeah I ask my scorp a lot of questions and have found out some pretty dark and some pretty sad stuff about him. Sometimes when were just sitting in silence he will give away good info, but I generally have to ask. Idk if I want to stick around and wait for him because I don't want to get hurt. Sex is nice and all, but I want to know that it's going somewhere or the sex is just meaningly.
Idk whats up with the "on and off" thing. He really wanted to move on because I had hurt him a great deal, but he still loved me so we go did the "on and off" thing a lot. Between the both of us being fire signs we loved sex and the passion between us was always hot, even after 3 yrs. It eventually ended when he found someone else and we decided it was time to move on. My heart needed to heal any way because if I was ever going to get into another good relationship I needed to be over him. I'm glad it's over. Maybe you'll have better luck dating a leo hehe. And maybe I'll end up dating another leo, who knows. I just need someone who will give me a straight answer because I'm tired of the games.
