How to Date a Leo Male

Well .... as I lay this past Leo to rest, I turn to the two others that I have had on the back burner while waiting to see what happened with this one.

Since we are all getting tired of my failed attempts to date Leo men ... what are your tips for dating a Leo?

The only thing I have noticed so far is if you put them off, they really start to like you.

LS,

I have had a bad experience myself regarding the Leo doctor, so I have no advice really. However, I will be back tomorrow. I saw him today anyway,even though I had vowed to wait until Wednesday to give myself time before facing him. Figured it was better to get it over with. I went there as I have to do a mini evaluation on myself for the time I've already spent. I taught him something, can you imagine? It's nothing overly big, but I think he's realizing what he could have had but can't. Also I'm not playing games with him either. I'm being myself and being normal. So my advice would be to maybe before dating a Leo male, why not try being friends with them first and then take it from there? Just a suggestion.

Generally, I am not given that option.

Men aren't interested in friendship with me.

Withhold sex.

My sexdrive is back under control so that shouldn't be a problem.

It is really simple to make a Leo man happy; All you have to do is truly love him.

I am dating one now, and we're happy. I don't know if I'm qualified to give tips, though, because I'm not sure how serious you want to get with either of these 2 Leos.

Well, maybe that is something worth trying. If the men let you know they aren't interested in being friends first, then you have to let them know that is where you are right now (if that is where you are). If they are willing to be friends with you then you get to know them better. You have to do what is right for you, LS. Things work the way they are suppose to. I've noticed too many girls get too involved with a guy and the guy ends up dumping them. Generally, with me it's friends first always. That is just the way I am. If they are willing to be my friend first (which usually does happen), then I know they are worth getting to know better. If not, then I know it's not right.

*** It is really simple to make a Leo man happy; All you have to do is truly love him.

Ahhhh ....Wouldn't it be wonderful if that were true? Unfortunately, this has not been my experience.

I find they rush in and freak themselves out. I think you have to pace them.

Wheels ... I like both men. One has been around for sometime and I like him very much, however, he is quite a bit older and I am not sure how I feel about that. We chat on the phone quite often. He is a good man just not sure about the age thing. The second, I do not know very well at this point. He wants to get together this week or next.

"I find they rush in and freak themselves out. I think you have to pace them."

I agree.

You seem to know how to handle Leos pretty well. I think there are many things about you that they would naturally admire, based on the way you have described yourself.

I think you should trust your instincts, especially because of your Leo moon, which is bound to give you a ton of insight when dealing with a Leo. It is obvious that you had a difficult experience with a Leo, but that could be due to any number of causes, and not necessarily the way that you handled things. Do you know what I mean? You shouldn't doubt yourself because of this other Leo that things didn't work out with.

LS, haha! I also disagree with the 'love him' part. Lions are predators and enjoy the chase. The best way to get and retain a Leo is to always keep him on his toes. Don't ever let him think he can be that secure with you. Unlike earth signs, fire signs need that excitement. Be nice but don't be a pushover. These guys will take advantage of it and not too long afterwards, you'll just be another lioness in the pride.

Yeah. I think you might have something here.

I really have the feeling the last Leo wanted me to kick his ass. Instead, I am feigning cheerful indifference ... or sticking both feet in my mouth and challenging him by saying .... "what's in it for me? the question is are you worthy" ha!

Perhaps, I should tone it down a notch. lmao!

*** Also, my Leo said that before we started going out, everytime he was around me, he became guarded and acted arrogant and showy... but when we started going out, he became more comfortable and less arrogant.

AHHH HAAAA!

Did he say why? How did you get him over this?

*** Leos need to know that they're your #1 sex symbol before they commit to anything. So give him compliments and stroke his ego.

hmmmmm .....

That is completely wrong; If a woman did that to me I would forget about her, and move on. Why would you make a loyal person feel insecure about your loyalty?

Leos treat others how others treat them; If you are loyal to me, and love me, I will be loyal and love you too. You make me feel insecure, I will cut you off, and you will never hear from me again. Remember, Leos dont have a leaving, especially if you damage our fragile pride and dignity.

If you are loyal to me, and love me, I will be loyal and love you too

But we are only at the getting to know you stage. We aren't in a relationship.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with how Leo number 1 is acting. He is very guarded, showy, arrogant. He is running this way then that way then looking over his shoulder to see if I am still there. As my friend would say, he is being a big kitty.

And there is definitely an element of needing me to sexually worship? him? or something.

Did your guy apologize for himself/his life?

*** So give him compliments and stroke his ego. Be sure to tell him he's the best

My other problem is ... he seems to get suspicious if I compliment him in anyway, no matter how sincere I am.

Maybe one of the other two leos will be a little less challenging.

🙂

(even though I really like this one)

No. I mean he apologizes for things like the state of his apartment and being disorganized. Or for drinking too much during the festival he was involved in.

*** If you like Leo #1 then go for it...

I am stumped as to what more I can do.

By sexual worship ... I mean it is really important to him that I like sex with him. Really important.

You offering a suggestion there Krissiekins?

I know. That is why I am trying to pull info out of her.

🙂

I mean Leo #1 might just be a write off at this point. We might just be at cross-purposes and that is the end of it.

Hence, why I am trying to get general help as well as this Leo help so if I do like one of the other two leos I don't screw it all up again. (One is pretty over the moon so I think it is impossible for even me to muck it up. I just have to decide how much I like him.)

New here: as I read this thread it reminds me of my current situation. And I need some Leo advice: I am Aquarius and I was dating a Leo man who I thought was great. We really enjoyed one another intellectually. Eventually, romance entered the picture and we got more involved (no sex). Almost immediately, my sweet Leo disappeared despite the conversation about taking things slowly and just being friends for awhile as he was still recovering from his last relationship. I have no problem with being friends as I am AQUARIUS. The great Jewdini (both Jewish) vanished ...something I have never experienced before. Being Aqua, I do not understand this behavior and maintained the "friendship" for a while, in typical Aqua fashion. Sent him an anonyous invitation to a MSM rave which he did not attend, sent a birthday surprise, invited him to lunch once and sent a special care package that one only sends to a person with whom they have intimate intentions. Over an 8 week period. Blowing me off is fine, I get it. (Be assured he is hot for me and attracting attention is never a problem...just to be clear) But we run into each other often and he says the oddest things; goes out of his way to make sure that I see and talk to him. I never notice him until he places himself squarely in my face. Then he makes suggestive remarks as if he is stalking me...which I'm sure he is not. After I sent the care package to which he did not respond, I saw him at a political event and he fondled me in a sweet but unexpected way; stroked my back and ran his hands down my arm. Annoyed by this confusing tact, I sent him a letter asking kindly where it is that we stand. I said I would like to call us friends but am not certain that we are. I was kind and funny but direct about needing clarity from him. No response! I chalked him up to being either so afraid of intimacy with me that he is literally an immoveable object or he suddenly despises me. (The latter makes no sense because if I have no or negative interest in someone, I avoid them or make cursory salutation at most). But this weekend he went to a bar I frequent that he'd never been to when we dated. He strove through hordes of people to get to my male friend whom he only knows through me and not well. What is the point? Why is he befriending my friends? Why can't he just tell me what he wants from me? (He does not have a GF.) As a writer and poet, I wrote him two poems: 1 funny and 1 personal if that matters for a Leo.

I agree with Kris being that I'm an Aqua female also. 🙂

*** The great Jewdini

LOL!

Why is he befriending my friends?

You know ... my cousin does this as well. He hangs out with all my exs. My ex-best friend, my ex-fianc? ... it is like he is incapable of making his own friends so when I disguard someone he seeks them out. The ex-best friend thing pissed me off as she STILL spreads rumours etc about me. I STILL have no idea what she is upset about.

Anyway last Halloween my ex-fianc? had a Halloween party and invited me. I was asking my cousin if he was going to go since I knew that they pal around sometimes and he was on the invite. He tries talking me out of going saying do you think you should go, yadda, yadda. Eventually, it comes out that he doesn't want me to go to a party *I* was invited to, which he would NOT have been invited to if it weren't for me, because he invited my ex-best friend. I FREAKED out. (WHY she would want to hang out with my ex-fianc? is beyond me. She was constantly causing trouble and trying to break us up.)

Let's just say ... words were spoken.

I learned from my ex's brother that Leo cousin was constantly showing up uninvited to my ex's house or calling and inviting himself over. Yeesh!

Leos ... they might not always manage to steal your heart but they will try to steal your friends.

You know ... I think he has one friend that wasn't mine first. lol!

Not that I really mind. I mean share the wealth. It is just weird. It is like he waits for something to happen than scoops them up.

🙂

He is perplexing to be sure. I have dated Leos in the past and they were all so much fun but never did they disappear with no explanation. Actually, even when they did leave my space, I guess they all came back but that's true of all the men in my life and not just Leos. Although one Leo whom I haven't seen in over ten years has been phoning me lately. Guess he hasn't quite moved on. I just don't understand this one. I know I am an intimidating womyn but he is the first man I have ever been involved with who was not actually intimidated by me. And it was great. Loved every minute of it. I like to think that my "attention" to him was appreciated (it always has been before) but I also realize that it really doesn't matter. His response is not really what it's about. I gotta be me and that means eccentricity at its finest. I am certain that Jewdini has never met anyone like me before, nor will he. I may be many things (bitch, intense, extreme, passionate, etc) but boring is something I will never be. Anyway, one part of me says that if he really wanted nothing to do with me, he wouldn't befriend my friends, hang out where I hang out, act like we're just jolly with one another when I see him. But the other part of me says "The man ignored a package filled with sexually provocative materials and I'm hot!" Even if his reasons are because he's afraid of commitment, that's some level of rejection. You would think a public defender would have the chutzpah to just tell me straight up what he does or does not want. But to ignore me entirely...well, that's a level of disrespect that I'm not sure I can tolerate. It's too bad because we have some serious chemistry and I really dig his mind which is oh so important for an Aqua. I haven't contacted him for three weeks and I've no intention of doing so...although you never know. Why on earth did he invite me to Africa with him— Is he just nuts? Are all men really this annoying at the core? If this is to be expected with most Leos, I'm screwed because ALL my men have been Leo or Pisces and I've decided to skip the fish boys for a while because they are a moody/depressed pain in the ass. Guess I'm goin celebate!!! Unless there is hope that someone can give me for my Lion—

stacintucson and others...I will never understand the Leo male disappearing act though!!! I don't see how if they have such need for others to like them, how they think that disappearing and not talking to someone who they supposedly love, will win them points!!!

candlz...Thank you. I am an extremely straight forward person...being an Aqua and all. And the inability of a person to simply be honest and respectful to me is not only disconcerting, but truly indicative of one who is self-absorbed. Everyone who enters your life on any level deserves enough respect that you don't just act as though they are nothing...and then act as though nothing "unusual" has happened when you see them. That is a childish game and I really don't care to play along. Contrary to earlier comments, I do not agree that I was crouching on his space. Speaking to someone every few weeks and sending them a special care package on their birthday and one other time in the spirit of sexual play is not pushing anyone into a corner. This is in a two month period for goodness sake. In my world, and that of the people who are close to me, that simply means that I give a damn about them. What a sad world of lonely people we have become when we think that occasional and unique contact with another human being in need is invading someone's space. I have expectations of those whom I call friend but more importantly I have expectations of myself. And that means that I make it clear to someone that I care about...that I care about them. This is too important to leave to guessing games and other vague acts. Life is short and I have never understood the point of beating around the bush in an effort to confuse people. I wish all the best for my Jewdini and still think only lovely thoughts of him. I believe that whatever negative space he is in, it is not about me; I just happened to trigger his fear mechanisms and he was unable to deal with whatever emotions that erupted. But he still owed me an explanation. Despite what people tell themselves, we are responsible to one another. That's what is supposed to make us humans. Thanks for listening/reading.

Peace.

hear! hear!

Well said.

WELL, I have a first date with new leo on Wednesday. We work in close proximity to each other so we are going for lunch.

We will see if the third leo is a charm. Our conversations have been very fun and there has been much laughing on both sides. He is also a lot of gemini and leo as he was born the same year as the last leo. He seems a bit more fun and a little less intense than the last one.

I hate to do this to you all again but fingers crossed.

🙂

Oh the older leo wasn't a leo. My mistake. He was a taurus. I don't think I am interested though.

Give them compliments everyday and they will give you more than love
P.S.Don`t you ever steal their lights.
