What is it like to be with a Leo in a relationship?
Posted by Freetobe007Similar experience. My first love was a lady Leo. We were young so we were both insecure and possessive of one another. We had fights (that seem incredibly silly now) but would make up passionately. We had far more good times than bad. If you've ever observed a lion and a lioness, it's basically like that. A lot of adoration and random quarrels and then more adoration.
I'm a Leo who was in a relationship with a Leo. It was amazing but he was way too possessive for my taste. So much passion and I honestly think that man would have cut his right hand off for me if he had to. He was a superb lover, a carnal connoisseur, a great fellow adventurer. We fed off of each other's fearlessness. I needed more depth and range of intensity. Sometimes his intensity wouldn't transcend ego and that turned me off; I seek to absorb a man at his most raw, unrefined, natural place and I do not care for the fancy external wrapping. He spent a lot of time, money, and energy perfecting the fancy, external wrapping. I have a hunger for cosmic awareness that he couldn't seem to fill.
Leo Cons (bad stuff first): We can be possessive and jealous (though we can grow out of that), we can love attention a bit to much, we can become boastful or arrogant as we tend to show off, we can be pompous and may look down on those we don't care to understand. We can be very insensitive and incredibly brash when angered. We can be a bit too loud. We can also be a too flirtatious or lustful if someone hasn't snagged out heartstrings (though not all Leos are like this). We can be hard to pin down if we have a lot of romantic options. We can procrastinate and have signs of laziness at times. Lastly like any fixed sign, we can be quite stubborn about our beliefs/principles.
Leo Pros: We are incredibly strong willed and make things happen. Though we have our own insecurities, we can be very courageous and tackle impossible odds head on if necessary. We're not just brutes though and are generally very intelligent. We are sociable and amiable. We are fun folk, the life of any social interaction. Leos aren't known to be inherently malicious unless we are stuck in our darker traits. We are extremely loyal and fervently protect those we care about. We are very generous and loving. Some say you haven't known passionate lovemaking until you've been with a Leo. We are hard to bore when we are in love. We love to indulge and love to take our significant other along for the ride. Though we are a fixed sign, we can be gently persuaded or reasoned with (if coaxed).
To date a Leo you must be ok with giving them attention. Don't worry though, we will give you that attention back a hundred times over. Yes some Leos can be a handful and needy, but generally we are also busy bodies who are incredibly social. We have our own schedules too, but we wont have an issue bringing you along. We have a lot of strength and tend to breakdown barriers very easily. Want something impossible done NOW? Ask a Leo. We also love to teach/preach (read ANY of my posts) and as a result are open to learning. We can also be skilled storytellers and jokesters. We can also run over people if we aren't careful, which can cause others to resent us. We can also be very absolute in our thinking (very black and white). While we feel deeply for those we care about, we don't really care for those we don't know (which is different from our opposite sign Aquas). The only time strangers are important to us if if they are already cool with someone we care about. If we do care about you, we'll move mountains...then take a nap.
