Is LEO & LEO a good combo?

So I met an amazing guy, he is a leo 8/4 and i am a leo girl as well 8/17. Anyone have experience or advice regarding leo/leo relationships? What are the ups & downs? Are they usually compatible? Thanks!!! btw ive never dated a leo man before...

I can't say I've ever found a Leo man in any way whatsoever attractive. Wierd, but I immediately have platonic feelings for them - we make the best of mates and really do play. I have three close Leo male friends and honestly we have a very child like fun playful type of relationship...I love them to bits and we stroke each other's egos, pretend to flirt (part of the ego stroking) and just generally mess around...but not one iota of attraction from my side.
I have the most fun around Leo males - more so than any boy or girl of any other sign - platonically talking.

But I personally know of three Leo/Leo couples and they're happy but in each case one of the Leo's is less dominant - I suppose not all Leos like to rule the roost.

leo + leo is the freaking sex. all in all, best connection i've ever felt.

as for aries...definitely has potential.

sure. let me think about this for a minute.

speaking strictly from my own experience, there are a LOT of good things about leo/aries. the physical chemistry is definitely there, in fact that's probably the strongest part. i like the fact that aries are so candid. i think it's cute and shows that they're not obsessed with constructing a facade like some ppl. i also really like the boldness and how aries are not afraid to take the initiative, but that's kind of a double-edged sword.

the bad stuff...most of the time, i don't like to be pushed, and aries will push to the extreme when they want something. i liked to be chased, but sometimes they just don't know when to step off for a while. on one hand, it's kind of endearing, but on the other hand it's annoying. you read it all the time about this match, the power struggle thing. aries wants their way and leo wants their way. it definitely takes a lot of maturity on both parts to avoid that major abrasion.

one thing i can say for sure is that it's not boring. 😛

eventually it can become monotonous though, as with any trine r-ship...with all the push-pull explosions going on. but it always depends on the individuals too.

i think that, in general, not necessarily just with leos, that's a much more successful way of showing interest. so kudos on not being too pushy.

As a female Aries, I don't like to do the chase. But just like what FA said, I also do the "poke and tease," then leave some space between each other and see his reactions. I don't think I'm aggressive, well... not in relationship. I only get pushy in assigned projects especially with lazy people who do nothing. -_-

I dated a Scorpio, Leo, and Taurus. The Taurus guy was actually the most aggressive and possessive out of all. I got fooled by his gentle look and soft voice..

Thanks for all the input... Are leo guys good at initiating an exclusive relationship? Or do they tend to prefer the dating thing without the title? How long does it take them to propose the gf/bf title?

The Leo I dated didn't really initiate it, but he threw lots of hints and flirted along. 1-2 weeks into the dating thing, he was 'trying' to give me the gf title. I got uh.. scared and backed out. I think it was because I just broke up with the Scorpio who fricking cheated on me, and I felt we were moving too fast. Also, I wasn't sure whether he was craving for 'love' or he really liked me, sometimes I felt like he wanted to show me off to his friends(?) -shrugs- But dating the Leo was the best, he wouldn't let me spend a cent while going out.

FA, I like possessive guys too but not to the point where I was not allowed to put on makeup... (like I would listen) Also, about that Taurus, he didn't like to spend (I don't want to say 'cheap') basically saving up like a mad man even for necessities.. He thought spending $ 3/day for food was too much... We ended it b/c I was "too expensive" according to him..

beemer, the answers to each of the questions really depend on the indiviuals involved.

FA, you are an aries.....yes? taurus might stifle you too much.

"Now some things I can't ignore are cheapness, lack of good hygiene and cleanliness, thoughtfulness, not following through on things you say you'll do and flaky behavior, irresponsibility and lack of ambition and passion for life, dishonesty and devious, manipulative behavior (cheating included)."

Except the "cheapness," the things you just mentioned above...my ex Scorpio bf had them ALL. Oh, and his emotional problems... I often felt like I was his counselor/therapist.

I'm a Taurus and I can say that noneof the Taureans I know are cheap. With that being said, if we HAVE to cut back on things because we are saving for something, etc, then we will, but I can guarantee you we don't like to do that!! LOL, at least I don't. When I date someone I want them to feel how important they are to me by my actions AND words. I have no problem spending $ $ on my family, friends, and my man. As long as it's appreciated, I'll keep doing it, but I won't be used. That's when the "gravy boat" ends, and I'll stop doing anything for you. Completely off topic, but I HAD to respond to the cheap Taurus comment 😉

USC, I know not all Taurus are like that b/c I do have other Taurus friends(I have 4 Taurus female friends who like to spend), and I was only talking about one specific Taurus male who I dated =). This Taurus guy was saving up very unreasonably to the point that he was cutting back on his diets, so he was -almost always- hungry when I was with him. And because of that, his close friends often offered him food. I remember I asked him why he's saving like crazy, he said it's a habit/a way to survive. I never spent a cent of off him and in contrast, I bought and brought him food.

Aww, poor hungry guy! Well, at least you were nice enough to bring him food!

ugh, i'd have to disagree with the aries match. aries ppl seem to only have room in my life as a platonic friend... from a distance. meaning every aries i've ever befriended i can only have around so much; not on a regular basis. they are quite exhausting for me. their energy is much too aggressive for my taste; too in ur face about everything. we do get along great though.

i've gotten along very well with every leo (male and female) i've befriended. always platonic though. i've never been sexually attracted to a leo man (except for ben gibbard, but, u know...). i prefer my man to be low-key, low-profile, low-maintenance, simple but complex, slightly introverted, non-flashy, down-to-earth, laid back, sweet, and strong/solid in character.
