same....little things that you wouldn't expect to be given/done for you. Can also be big things at times....we like to treat those we love very very well 🙂
pL, that's the way to show love, imo...I'm like that too. But, being Scorpio (whenever that matters to a man) those same actions are sometimes seen as being manipulative and/or possesive - when that is not what it is about. 😢
"Because I want to know what she is made of."
Proverbs, which is the "right" way for her to be? Being herself or reacting to you?

Not sure If i'm qualified to speak on this but Ocean I think men believe the action of giving is being manipulative and possessive when the giving gets to be too much, when after giving the woman wants to know a persons every move, calling too much, asking too many questions, I don't believe it's the act itself, it's the actions behind the act after the act is over...I think men go thru that cycle quite a bit with women so when another woman shows up behaving the same way, to men it's a huge red flag to back off.
as to your second question Ocean...I think it's a bit of both, being yourself and reacting in a non reactive manner (if that makes sense) show concern, address the issue but don't criticize, push or over react in the face of a conflict.
I know my leo and had a conversation a few weeks ago, I was curious why he was being the best boyfriend ever so I felt compelled to probe a bit, I asked him why he misbehaved when we first started dating and then suddenly do a 180 on me and started being the most loving lion a person could ever meet, he said I did those things to see if you were worth my time, testing your temperment and maturity level, I needed to be sure you truly wanted me and truly wanted to be in this relationship, I needed to see who you are, he said, I have met some seemingly great women but you don't know who they truly are until way down the line and then you find yourself stuck in a situation thats hard to get out of because of the emotional attachment, now that you have shown me that your about me, about us, you truly want this and want to be in this relationship, I don't feel the need to run or misbehave as I once did...hope that helps a bit Ocean.
I think with some leo men, they test to see what kind of character a woman possess, if she can hold her own, again I'm not an expert but this is what I have found with some leo men.
Ocean, my lion was pretty mean in the beginning, roared and growled a lot, he wasn't in a happy place emotionally and me not understanding that would press his buttons which didn't help it, to clarify, he wasn't mean all the time but their were those..whew I can't handle this lion moments! The more emotionally stable and mature I was, the more balanced he became, those mean moments are far and few in between, my lion has been pretty happy these days but a leo male is work, that is no lie lol!
I read pisces feelings continue to get hurt and resentment soon builds, so I'm not suprised you swam away, gotta have a thick skin to be with a leo male, thats why astrology says other fire signs are best for leo's, I'm not a fire sign, i'm an air sign but I have a great friend whom taught me how to pick up fire signs attributes and use them to my benefit, I have and it works 😄
oh Ocean a leo man can love you for you but you first will have to show through your actions you can love him for him, TRUST is a huge factor, not being too jealous or possessive is another factor, deep down their is a very vulnerable fragile face that not many people see, he needs to know he can be safe with you to show you that side and its worth the wait, I would do it all over again to experience that moment, a male lion is very accepting of his counterpart but he has to know she is accepting of him and you will experience a great friendship and relationship. It's worth it in my opinion.
"he said I did those things to see if you were worth my time, testing your temperment and maturity level, I needed to be sure you truly wanted me and truly wanted to be in this relationship,"
-WOW!!! so it's not only aqua men that do those "tests"— that's good to know! my aqua still lays those tests on me...after 3 yrs. of being together...
Thanks, pL! (((hug))) I've gone there - being obsessive. I didn't mean any harm, it's just that I really really liked the guy, and showed him just how much - too much? lol. I should have calmed myself down, honestly.
I agree with leokitten in that when I can show a person my vulnerable side they need to know that I love them. Usually that is something only I KNOW is a sign that I love them.....I am sure they take this for granted, people do not realize how tough, strong and hard we have to be, so they take our showing of vulnerability with a grain of salt and this is precisely why I feel we are so easily hurt, and people really don't realize the damage. For me it can make me clam up and take EONS to go there with another person (vulnerability that is)
