Insight into the Leo Mind

Posted by trashedbliss
...well maybe moreso the female but perhaps the males can interject. Also any corrections are much appreciated since this isnt info founded with anything but rather from a discussion I had today.

ere, thought I gave my contribution as I felt a bit shocked with this!

1. They love/prefer a challenge - her words were, if it seems like the person doesnt care or want them, then she will become more enamored with them faster.

If he doesn't show he's interested, I move on. I do like a challenge, which is not getting things when/where I want it. Hard to get, but with evident, slow proof we are getting somewhere!

2. If you come with the same thing every day then youll bore them and they'll move on

He may come up with the same thing everyday. If I'm in love, I'll naturally find something new to focus about him. I can get out of my boredom by myself.

3. To switch it up, ignore them for a bit after a serious topic; itll confuse them and entice them to why you arent catering to them

If he ignores me, I'll ignore him as well. See, it's a cycle, leading nowhere.
It's not confusing, it's a good-bye call. If I wanted a caterer I'd pay him, not date him.

4. If they start sending long texts explaining themselves or their affections for you, towards you, especially after a mini-break, then that means they hold serious attraction for you

This is kind of true.
I do avoid going over the top with the explaining part, and I avoid asking for them.
But I love when I get them without asking.

5. What they look for is someone who is different and can keep their attention; they prefer confident people and since they are passionate, someone who doesnt "react" when they react or who will call them on their shit/mind games is someone they will take notice with

Yes, if he's condident it's a turn on. But balance is a must, I do have a soft side to share and give confort, some vulnerability from time to time is ok. I'm passionate, and I appreciate it too.
I'd be more confortable with someone who reacts loudly like me.
If he ever thinks I play shit/mi

I'm curious how you'd know if a leo is the kind who's after a chase (you ignore them when they ignore you) or the kind who likes to be assured (not obsessively) of their status?

Astrology is something really new to me, I presume the other planets in their charts play a role too? Or nature vs nurture — shaped by their previous good/bad experience?

Sorry, lots of questions. But I wanna know about you guys! (:

I really thought I had replied to this! lol

Yes, the other planets in the chart play a role--

Idk if I've asked you this before or not.. but have you done a Synastry chart or a Composite for the two of you?

Posted by orientalpeony
Hmmnope! I'm not sure what a Synastry or Composite chart means. Is it both our birth charts? (I see people posting those)

ere.

That's on her, but no interest = no investment for me. I wouldn't date anyone like that, especially since I'm very sensitive and I wear my heart on my sleeve. Challenge me mentally with good conversation, or playfully in a game, but I'm too grown for games like that - I wouldn't get it either. I have enough trouble dealing with my need to be accepted by everyone as a Leo, to consciously enter into something like that.

Yes.

No lie, I will wonder. If you need time, I'll give it, and I'll be understanding. But if I find out you don't and you're pulling this for no reason, then I'll give you the boot.

It's true - but I usually send actual written notes/letters most of the time. If I have to make peace with someone, then I will do the same too. I did exactly this with the first man I was deeply attracted to.

Yes. I'd like someone who complements me and makes me a better person, and has a solid, good sense of honor. Though I'd like to add, that if they call me on anything, they should respectfully point it out.

Well I am dating a Taurus male. We had to set ground rules before we even dated. lol. Strong temperaments, similar values, different perspectives and experiences. So yup we both love challenges. I like a keen sense of wit, intelligent and meaningful conversation, and playfulness. Keep me on my toes and stir me up yes but hot and cold is a mindgame and a dealbreaker. I like consistency, respect and appreciation. I don't expect to be treated like a queen but I do expect to be treated as an equal.

I like people who are interesting and my friends come from many walks of life. My guy is independent and so am I. We share common interests but we have our own interests too so we have something to share whether we are together or not. What would be boring is being stuck together with nothing new to share or talk about. that applies to all relationships, not just dating.

Never ignore me.Serious topic? I can give you time to think about it but if I want to talk about it, not even you can stop me from emailing you til you read every word I need to share. Because I know you are too curious not to read what I write and of course I make a lot of sense. So the more serious the issue, the more effort you should make to meet me at least halfway. I will want feedback.

Long texts or short texts. If I am in touch, I am into you. Don't be jumping to conclusions. If I love you, I will say it and show it, Til then, a text is a text. It says what I want you to know.

I like people who are different period. I look for common values. I like confidence because it shows maturity, self-respect, stability and adaptability. I like to be charmed but not with false charm. I don't like people who are weak willed, immature and can be dominated by me. I don't want to be a bully. Yes I can be bossy and I know it. Stand up to me but do it respectfully. I will be held accountable for my actions and my words because I will hold you accountable the same way. Someone who tries to control me or wants me to have all the control are weak. It doesn't work. Never manipulate me. Be reasonable. Be honest. Be kind. Be fair and someone I can count on. It's not that hard to figure out. Sometimes people just don't match. You can't get along with everyone. Leos are natural hunters, we don't want you to fall into our arms til we are ready to have you there, lol.
