OK so I want to send Mr Leo a gift as a sort of thank you for all his time and attention - he finished work early a few times to take me out and would not let me spend a penny. I tried to pay but he insisted that it was his treat.

So I would like to send him a gift in return. Is it ok to send one so early on and will he appreciate it, or will he think it's too much?

Thanks.

I love giving my leo gifts...flowers, chocolate candy, find out what his favorite band is and give him a T-Shirt (authentic) if you can try ebay, favorite cd, give something thoughtful, try a nice candlelit dinner and nice bottle of wine, don't skimp on your leo, pull out all the stops. Basically find out what his interest are and go with that, good mind blowing sex is a grandiose idea, the biggest gift of them all and use BIG, EXPLOSIVE words in bed, he will love it. Stroke that ego all night, he will absolutely purr.

Well he is in Spain so taking him out for a coffee or what DK said is sort of difficult!

"don't skimp on your leo, pull out all the stops"

Tiki I'm glad you said that because what I was considering was getting him an Ipod because he LOVES music and when I showed him mine he was really taken with it and he doesn't have one.

I was just worried he would think it too expensive a present, but he must have spent a fortune on me during the time we spent so I figured that would at least make up for it.

Thetis go with your gut on this one, Ipod isn't too fancy considering its a long distance relationship and he will enjoy something that was specially gifted for him and plus he will look at it and think fond thoughts of your thoughtful gesture, nothings too big for a leo, leo men love gifts, so don't worry about splurging, I did it and it didn't backfire on me so I think you will be fine.

yeah i hear you LK, she said she had 2 gifts, one not so big and the other was the Ipod, I personally think he will be okay with it either way but hey I'm not psychic so this is why I told her to follow her instincts. Being that its long distance he would appreciate it, I wooed my leo early on and yes it was rough at first, very rough but he never not appreciated the little things I did.

*** spending that much money on a 2 week old relationship might make him feel obligated.

Then should she feel obligated because of all of the money that he dropped on her? I initially said that it should be something simple, but the IPOD is something practical that he would like and use. And it's not too romantic so he wouldn't feel obligated.

Now go clip your coupons and let Thetis be... 😉

OK well this is the reason I asked for the opinion of other Leo's, as I myself worried that it may be too much.

The gift idea was NOT to buy him at all, and regardless of whether or not this is going to be a full-blown relationship we have agreed to keep in touch and stay friends. The main reason I wanted to get an Ipod is because he loves music and he really liked mine, so it was the first thing that sprung to mind.......because he liked it not because of the price tag.

However, I was not intending on purchasing an 80G video phone or anything like that, I can get a brand new video Nano for ?129.00.

Considering what he spent on me I didn't really see it as being totally extravagant and as I said the onus was more on getting him something I KNEW he would like.

Thanks again everyone I do appreciate the input. It is early days so I don't want to overdo it.

"Buy him a good CD with a sweet poem or card for now..."

Now that could be a good idea Chocolate, we like the same sort of music but there are some good British bands he's only semi-heard of. I know what his music tastes are already so I could get him a couple of CD's of good UK bands I know he would like.

Although I like Nyx's idea best I have to say lol. 😛

Just a shame he's so far away!

Well I bought a couple of CD's for him last night - so I will be posting them shortly. I'm going to send them with a small card which I'm going to attempt to write in Spanish lol, just to show a bit of an effort. 🙂

He loves snowboarding, handy seeing as I live in Scotland, so when he comes to visit in December I'm going to take him up north. I ski very well so I said I would teach him if he likes. And maybe I'll try my hand at snowboarding!

Hey chocolate, thanks for all your posts.

Mind games are not for me I have to say, I had it done to me for a while by someone else (but that's another story) the only problem I have is impatience. When I want to be with someone I want to be with someone, I LOVE having someone to fuss over. And it's hard when they are not there to do that. When I lavish affection I lavish it big time, that's just who I am.

"Allow for him to miss you"

I know what you mean. In a way I like that that, I like having to miss someone......if it's all out there for me straight away I often wonder if I really do want it. Having the time to think about it allows me to see whether or not, once a few weeks have passed, I still truly want it (Gemini moon lol).

It's just hard when it's in the initial stages because I'm so consumed with getting to know them better and spending time with them. But on the flipside time apart will let us both know if the time we spent together really did mean something. Although already......I know it did to me.

I have to say I feel sort of stupid in a way, never ever dated a Leo male (and don't even know of any females!) but you lot in here have been so helpful and warm..........I can't help but kick myself lol what have I been missing out on for so long!

Well a lot of what I have read so far says go by his actions, and honestly he could not do enough for me. He's text me a couple of times since I've been home (in English too which I think is really sweet that he makes the effort) saying that he is sorry he cannot take more time out to talk but he is still very busy at work - although by the end of this month things will be quieter - but that he is thinking of me.

I am so smitten I cannot even begin to tell you. He is just a ray of sunshine on an otherwise dark day. 🙂
