I HAVE BEEN GOING OUT WITH A LEO FOR A FEW MONTHS AND AM MAD ABOUT HIM. THE ONLY THING THAT ANNOYS ME IS THAT HE HAS HAD MANY GIRLFRIENDS. I FIND IT HARD TO CONTAIN MY JEALOUSLY WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THEM AND IT MAKES ME WONDER CAN A LEO JUST JUMP FROMN ONE LOVE TO THE NEXT OR CAN HE SETTLE DOWN?

I believe you already know the answer to that question since you've answered it in your own original question!

He can settle down. It won't be instant though. I'm a Scorpio who has been dating a Leo for three years. But, you need to nip this rude behavior of his in the bud immediately or risk him losing respect for you in the long term. He needs to know that when he is with you, it is about you, not about other women. That is extremely unsavory behavior for him to display, and he is clearly one of two things: stupid, or trying to make you jealous. In either case, you can't let him treat you like that. You are worth more as a human being.

thanks for your comments. i did tell him to stop talking about his exes and he is making an effort. it just baffles me, as a sensitive cancerian, that he can fall in love so many times, whereas i think it is a rare and special thing. maybe its just his typically big lions heart!!!!

Leos tend to be rather single-minded: If we fall, we fall hard, even to the point of blinding ourselves to the negatives of the relationship. I am a Leo and am in my 3rd relationship, my first two lasting around a year each and being more or less back-to-back. One thing to keep in mind is that the ex's were a part of his life and it's difficult to pretend they never existed. It's like pretending you never had a best friend through high school or what-not. Now if he's always going on about them, that's different, but there's no harm in reminiscing every once in a while.

Leos adore being adored! That is often what drives them from lover to lover. They seek attention, not just from their significant other, but from everyone! Make shure that you give him the attention he needs and make him feel loved and cherished. Leos can stray form partner to partner, but they aren't crazy! When he realizes that you are the one, it will be for life.

I think it is rude of him to talk about all of his past girlfriends with you. It's not ethical. It would really bother me also. You need to tell him soon that it bothers you that he has to mention his past lovelife. And, I'm not surprised at all that you get the impression that he doesn't want to settle with one woman. This is typical of Leo males from what I've learned. I can imagine your frustration. But hang in there! I'm sure you will come to the right decision. Just don't get hurt in the process.

The reason I answered the way I did is because I am also head over heels crazy for a Leo male and he has had MANY woman in the past--can't ever settle down with one girlfriend. So I empathize.

Part of being in a mature and/or serious relationship is learning the art of "reminiscing" in one's head. Not verbally to your partner. I always find it comical and somewhat hypocritical (I've dated several Leo guys in the past) when they get INSANELY jealous whenever another guy, even if he's only a friend, is anywhere near their "territory"--meaning anywhere near their girlfriend...but yet, they are often inclined to incite jealousy from their partner. I have found that with Leos, you either assert yourself right up front the first time they screw up, or you risk them taking advantage of your laid-back demeanor regarding their extra-curricular activites...forever. I have been lucky to have found a faithful one, but this is only because he respects me for making it clear that I won't tolerate even the slightest shred of anything resembling lingering feelings or new feelings for another female. What I mean by not tolerating anything, is that if I even sense that something's up, I'm out. Bye-bye. Put it in his hands to decide if he can handle you for the long-term...he will make it clear if he can't.
