Hello dear Leos! Sorry for the intrusion, but I need a little help trying to understand Leos better. I'm a Gemini woman, and my boyfriend is a Leo. He's very attentive, loving and very public about it, while I'm not big on public displays of affection. We have an amazing chemistry and we are very passionate about each other, but at times this isn't a positive thing. My boyfriend likes to feel like the man and to let it be known that I'm with him, and I have absolutely no problem with that. He's a natural center of attention and I enjoy that aspect of him.

However he has issues with me taking center stage. Without any effort on my side, whenever we are at social gatherings guys tend to come up to me and talk to me. I have absolutely no desire in cheating or even flirting, but I have a hard time being a bitch to guys who have the courage to talk to a girl and therefore take the time to exchange niceties. It always causes friction between us and we end up in dramatic arguments whenever we go out. He causes the arguments but I'm the temperamental one of us and being doubted makes me blow up. It annoys me that he initiates arguments, but when he gets me riled up he demands I calm down. Instead of getting his emotions out and just getting it over with, he tends to just become moody and insufferable.

This has been an ongoing issue with us for our entire relationship. Is there a sure way to deal with him better? Can someone help me try and understand why he reacts so strongly to my socializing? If anyone has been in a Leo-Gem relationship before, I would appreciate any advice.

There really isn't much to understand. Guys come over to you and flirt with you, you allow them to flirt and your boyfriend gets mad/annoyed/jealous about it - pretty normal reaction to me, he's not getting mad because your taking centre stage he's getting mad because in his eyes you're not making it clear you are taken. If I was out with my man and women kept coming over and flirting with him I wouldn't have a problem with that, what I would have a problem with is if he didn't make it clear he wasn't for flirting with and he is with someone, he can be completely polite while doing this and if they are complete strangers then the interaction should only take seconds before they have been sent on their merry way.

I do make it known that I'm taken if the opportunity arises. Personally I think it's rude just to blurt out that you're in a relationship to a stranger who is making polite conversation, it's very presumptuous if they haven't alluded to anything.



Let's be real...you like the attention. You also appear to like your boyfriend. The only thing you need to do is figure out which you like more and proceed accordingly.

It's not that difficult.

LOL, the strangers are approaching you to make polite conversation 🙂

You're enjoying it, you know why they are approaching you and you keep it going. The only person who is on the receiving end of Rude is your boyfriend, what is he doing while you are ever so politely not discouraging these random men to keep hanging around you?

I'm Gem and my "partner" is Leo (he's still on the fence about labeling it a relationship) but what I do know. I can't talk to anyone without having to explain. Leo's are very possessive and their jealousy can be very ugly. the 2 signs go well together but communicate communicate communicate. he wants to always be #1 as far as Gem talking to other people. it's hard for us not too and yes people take it as flirty. I understand what it's like to talk to everyone in the room. it's harmless to us but I always get asked why I talked to that person or did I just waive at a stranger at a red light. I've learned to tone it down quite. but I like to flirt sometimes too. remember air fuels fire. be careful. talk to him. put a spin on it. asked him to read up on Geminis so he understands you a little bit better. we often come off as something we truly are not. good luck.

I second said rebuttals and inquiries.
