Cancer male, first date with Leo woman.

Any tips? Lioness, what would be on your list of do's and dont's?

Awesome tips, pretty straightforward! Thank you for the quick and very useful feedback.

Go easy on the flattery-- if it isn't genuine, don't say it.

We know what we are and what we aren't.

A little goes a long way.



And be polite-- don't embarrass her by being cheap or picky

or difficult to please (say, at a restaurant).



Cancer men are usually funny as hell, and fun to be around--

you should be fine. 🙂

Aww shucks, look at you with all the flattery! I'm a little funny, hope it goes well. Any suggestions on where I should take her?

Thank you all for your tips! Dealing with a fiery leo is uncharted territory for me but you all are very helpful. If all fails we may have some steamed crab legs after she burns me.

But I just want to hug her and latch on and not let go, is that so bad?! 🙂 She's a very driven person, I won't be getting in her way, I just hope to keep her company on this journey.

Tell me more, I love that you didn't mind coming in and saying exactly what you think. So why did your attempt with those two cancer males fail?

Thanks for all the supportive responses. The lioness and I both work 2 jobs and go to school so she had to cancel my well planned date. I was ok with it though, she loves coffee so I picked some up and we just stayed in town and had lunch together with her favorite starbucks coffee. I saw her later on and she just lit up, I used to always tell her she should smile more; I think I found a way to get her to do that. She's also more affectionate than I thought she would be, she loves to get close and hugs me anytime she can. I'll keep you all informed.

Glad to hear it went well. I was going to be a smart aleck and say according to certain Leo posters here that your attempt was "doomed. Slink away in failure, you clingy Crab peon".
Here's the thing-I've been seeing a Lioness for a little while now. And contrary to the naysayers here, things are going well. The important thing is communicating, and don't overdo the flattery-if you compliment, mean it.
One thing I can say is that I'm not the one demonstrating "clinginess" contrary to what the cat ladies may say.
If you're curious about how the first date went, I can PM you.

Of course I'm curious, tell me more.

This girl is definitely not someone who I can feel safe and comfortable with, at least not yet. We have amazing chats, she will be so into the time we spend together then she will be disconnected for a while (days at a time without contact). Then when we see each other again she'll hug me and we'll go right back to enjoying our time together. Is this normal for a leo woman?

Hmmm... I think so, yes.

I don't initiate contact with men when

we're first beginning to date.

It's all on you.

Unless you mean you contact her and she

doesn't respond?

I do all the work lol. She's catholic and anything on sunday is kind of a no-no to her so that kind of explains some of it, she didn't respond today but last night we had a long conversation and just great vibes. We talked about music and as she learns more about me I see that she's liking me more because originally she didn't find anything very interesting about me. I'm actually very outgoing (for a crab), she's more of a introvert and told me that she loves being at home. She also told me before that dating her isn't easy because she has times when she's really outgoing then she'll stop talking to people for like 3 days. Decipher this one for me please.

Because of overload-- I can identify, but that applies

only to people I'm not madly in love with.

So she may not be madly in love with you... yet. 🙂


But idk that I've ever explained it so succinctly--

I'm kind of in awe-- she must be stranger than I (it's possible!).


Does she have a Pisces moon (hence the overload)?

I don't know that all LEOs are like that; it's typical of water

moons/suns, though.

If not Pisces, I'm still guessing water.
