Are we Leo's too straight in Love?

Hey everyone,,

Well as inexperienced as i am in the love arena, i feel a little too forward like i keep scaring my boyfriend away..
Is it that we love to love at a grand scale? I'm surprised to find myself mostly shy but then suddenly i display my love in generous gestures that i wouldn't naturally do or not so openly, you see i just don't get myself! does that sound weird?

My boyfriend said the I love you first but now seems to push away whenever i show my love to him, or whatever... I'm sorry if i can't really put my emotions to words but i thought coming here to the leo forum you would get what i'm aiming at?

What are the main qualities of us leo gals in love?

Yes... we give everything when we are in love. No holding back.

My ex couldn't handle it at first, but I think he got used to it afterwards.

Believe me, I'm always open. Those are fair points to make. But of course I'm going to judge things on my own experience and what I read of others' experience, what else am I going to judge it on? Haha. Like there's literally nothing else to go by.

I don't have a Leo ex. Just going by my common experiences with Leo. I once was seeing a Leo woman who went all in with me, on some unrealistic image of me that I hope I never projected (but who knows? You know how they say young Libras like to give off a perfect image so I more than likely may have been guilty) and then once she heard a "rumour" about me through someone else she stopped calling and expected me to prove myself to her. She gave me a pedestal because she expected pedestal status herself.

There's not much friendship in something like that. I'm just saying that Leos often go all in at the expense of respect of the actual person and individual. Every relationship deserves a point where two people can breathe and re-find themselves as individuals.

There's a lot of honour in loving, sure, but not loving so hard that your heart's greatest strength turns againsts you, and starts operating as your greatest weakness, losing all respect for the other person in the process. And that's just a general observation that is true for all people, me included. But I think I learned a lot about that by hanging around Leos and seeing them risk taking too much pride in love.

How do you "not love so hard"?

I don't think we can or should love less. This is a beautiful gift. I think a better way to say it is to "live inside your love comfortably" , "love the right person", and "love constructively"..which is something I am still learning, but relishing in the challenge because everyday it brings me closer to the kind of love I desire.

Agree 100% !
