Aries Sun/Gemini Moon--flirtatious vs. Charming

OK...

We all know that Aries and Gemini are very charming and flirtatious (Dad has gemini moon and is completely that way). However, I can't decide how I feel about it...let me explain.

My BF has an Aries Sun and Gemini Moon. He calls himself charming and outgoing, however, when I'm with him while he's being charming and outgoing...I TOTALLY see it as him flirting. Now, in this regard, I'm looking for some clarification.

Now...I'm a leo, and I'll admit that I can be very jealous and I'm very territorial (I know...stems from my own insecurities, but what's a gal do :-). So, when I see a new number of some girl in his phone, or see him interacting w/ girls that are good looking, I AUTOMATICALLY get jealous!

We've talked about this. My bf knows that I don't like it when he is charming/flirting with other girls (we disagree on the proper term:-) So, he won't do it while I'm around (ok...that's a comprimise). However, here's my dilemma...

As I said, we've talked at length about this. He sees what he does as being completely innocent, which in a sense, I agree. However, he does it as an ego boost...he likes the idea of "turning girls down" (his words). Also, in my opinion, he ends up leading them on (which is why they call). I think that this is kind of f'ed up...but there's no way of convincing him otherwise because as long as he's not doing anything inappropriate (he says), he's fine (however, this kind of behavior, to me, is inappropriate).

I want to remain open-minded. I know that he would never do anything to hurt me, and it's not him I'm worried about. It's about those of us girls that are a bit more aggressive! I know that my disapproval stems HEAVILY from my own insecurities. Sooo...is there anyone who could give me an alternative perspective...one that would stiffle my criticism?

Thanks, Gemfox.

I know my Aries very well. We've been together for over a year and 1/2, we've even shacked up. So, I know he can be jealous but would never tell me that. I know he loves me, and is naturally charming and outgoing. Also, I never give him any reason to be jealous because (believe it or not) I'm not very flirtatious (I know, I'm the opposite of that leo trait :-). In other words, you'll never find me collecting random numbers. This is nothing new, he's always been this way. He'll chat it up w/ random people (mostly women) and exchange numbers. But I do think that it is something he needs to grow out of simply because it is risky (which I think he enjoys the risks).

As far as him always having his freedom, that is something I understand and value, totally. We're a lot a like in that regard. I do agree w/ you, however, in that I am the one getting all his attention. We are certainly exclusive and committed to one another...that's not something I worry about.

Thanks for your comments, ciao!
