When you play hard to get? obviously not too hard but a little challenging.
& do they fall for you when you're friends with them first?

Me personally, I find a challenge more stimulating than someone who so obviously wants me. Making me wonder drives me crazy! Of course, I can only persue a challenge with encouragement. If I think there's no chance I won't bother. I need to believe that the other person has some feelings for me.

I definitely want to be friends with anyone I am involved with but it doesn't matter much if we were friends first or not.

be careful cos they might be more into the chase than you

but generally, yes 🙂

friends first? it definitely slows the pace, but it depends. what's your situation?

I think a leo would think a little shyness is attractive, but full blown hard-to-get behavior is a turn off.

You dont have to play hard to get, just prove that you're worthy to be with us, and that will do the trick!

I also think it depends on the maturity level of said leo. I'm a woman who will easily weigh the pros and cons, and if Im losing too much (Or growing to tired or bored)from a situation I usually walk away from it. Or storm out in a totally dramatic way, but I think you get my point. 🙂

when a leo likes you and really likes you - you will definitely know. they are the hunters and will love the hunt in getting their prey.

ask me...i just played lil hard. he showed me a rash leo trait..soo domineering and forceful. but he is soo daring, the first man to kiss me madly,in a public gathering. hes mad for attention, again a typical leo quality. do enlighten me, are leo men forceful in bed, because mine is? by the way, i am an aries baby (the way he calls me..hehe)

I definitely appreciate the challenge. As Leos we kind of like this little fantasy world we make up, and the crush, the chase is all part of that.

But like you said, we neeeeed encouragement. I won't chase you if I really don't think we have a chance because the let down is just the WORST. The little hard to get thing is fun if you know in the end the prize is yours. The tease could be frustrating but also fun. As long as it's actually worth it in the end.. which is MY problem. Having all these romantic fantasies in your head can really turn bad when reality doesn't satisfy or gets boring.

So I think keeping up some kind of chase and mystery after the initial contact is probably key.

..and the friends thing..

i don't know. i easily fall for people even if i'm not friends with them haha.
but i think if you're a friend with a leo you're basically already in, you just have to switch gears.

i would never even look at that person again who showed me attitude--even once.
as for friendship, no i hate blurring boundaries between relations. integrity of relations should never be confused. a friend is a friend, that 's what he/ she will always be,or if things went wrong, then a non- entity.

yeah...chasing's a game but it's got two parties in it and some guys only like the chasing part of the game which is why a woman needs to know how to play it if she wants him.

personally, i don't have the arse for games and if you're in that 'chase' situation, neither one of you are being yourselves so what's the point. when the chasing's done, it's game over for some people - on either side of the chase.

when guys are playing the chasing game all they are looking for is the end result of that game, YOU, you're "it" for a while (could be an hour could be a year but its still not forever). Chasing is a game children play. Men hunt and claim their prize - for keepsies, they frame you and hang you on their trophy wall to be shown off with greatlove and pride as their big prize to anyone that they can.

I personally think they do (like playing the game of you playing hard to get)

...but what happens when the game is over and everyone is collecting their marbles?

does the game end, you shake hands and go home?

is there a clear winner and a clear loser?

i know it's inherent with this sign just as other signs have there "thing". I know, as a scorpio, I do but the game playing is weird to us water signs.

just curious. *shrugs*

Well, if you end up together, wouldn't it be win/win? Or if you don't end up together, lose/lose? lol!

Just and Even

I wanna name my kids this.

Maybe they'll stay on the Straight and Narrow.

😉

They won't,
They have you to look up to.

+1, you make Leo men look good Seraph

We're only as good as our lionesses.

After all, without you, we don't eat. 😉

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion

"Lionesses do the majority of the hunting for their pride, being smaller, swifter and more agile than the males,
and unencumbered by the heavy and conspicuous mane, which causes overheating during exertion."

Well we lioness' do like looking after our men, as long as we get what we want in return 😉

You guys, you come up with any excuse to lol around in the sun all day - my hair is too heavy Ha Ha Ha!
