Should I tell a Leo male....

that I like him?

I keep hearing conflicting info about this....either he will run for the hills if I tell him or he LOVES flattery and attention and will welcome it. Which one is it?

I wasn't prepared to fall for this Leo. It wasn't love at first sight and I wasn't even looking for anyone. To make it worse, I was hanging out with girlfriends and pretty drunk at the time that I met him. His friend asked me for my number to give to him, which I did reluctantly, but I never thought he'd call me. He called me THE NEXT DAY anxious to see me and we've seen each other almost every other day since. He's won me over but I'm protecting my heart so I've held back on the flattery and kept a poker face pretty much. I'm a very affectionate person but I've held back a little on that too. Now I reading that Leo's love affectionate and attention. Will it scare him away if I just come out and announce my feelings to him?

I'm not sure how giving him attention and flattery equates to your true feelings inside about him .. for can't he recieve the attention he needs while still withholding your deepest feelings?

At any rate .. it sounds like you know him pretty well, I would go with gut instincts.

Hi, I just found this site yesterday and find it real interesting and entertaining. I am a sagittarius girl dating a Leo guy for 6 months now. I am also looking for the same answer as this question.. Im very affectionate and loving/giving but with reading all the different oppinions of lots of love and affection to running for the hills how much is too much for the Leo , its confusing.. altho I have to admit I think Ive been doing okay so far.

Welcome Super-Sag 🙂🙂

It's very disturbing that male Leo's have such a repuatation that it leaves the women trying to love them in fear, or feeling intimidated to where they are uncomfortable with being REAL.

Not real sure how to process this .. does it mean that Leo's would prefer shallow/superficial feelings, so long as their manes are stroked?

Hhmmmm .. sorry, I can't help you Super-Sag 😢

Leo guys aren't rocket science, just be yourself. Would you really want to be with someone that you couldn't be your true self around?

Leos love love. But the important thing to remember is that we love our freedom (real or imagined) even more. Declarations of love are wonderful, declarations of ownership are not. Leo males want a partner, not a master...

well said softcookie

peixe77 jus a suggestion, let him tell you how he feels, things are going fine so no rush, leo's don't like being boxed into a corner with emotions. Be yourself, have fun and when the time comes you will know. Don't let him know he's won you over, let him continue to pursue you, thats his comfort zone, once you turn around and face him back with the same intense emotions don't be suprised if he runs the other way. Be affectionate, they love it but he doesn't have to know EVERYTHING about you or what your feeling, theirs no mystery in knowing everything.

Super Sag, the best advice I can give is if he backs off thats when its too much, don't get offended, its not you, its more of too much of a good thing, so if he backs off, don't push or he will run, you back off also, go breathe, hang with friends, do your own thing, backing off the relationship is the que that he may need a bit of space and time for himself, he never roams too far from home, don't over give or compensate for the lack of intimacy, go do your thing and he will come back around once he's done roaming.

Wow

I can't picture ANY leo running from anything. Its just seems so not in their nature

OneSexyGem he will roam when he needs space and he will only need space if his woman is clingy and needy, a woman has to be self reliant.

Hmm, good advice. Thanks all! I've been giving him a little affection too but not as much as he's been giving me. I remember reading somewhere that Leos love affection and if you're not as demonstrative, they'll lose interest...or something to that affect. I was thinking that maybe I needed to step it up a little bit, but I wasn't planning to be overly emotional or start calling and running to him all the time. I guess I'll keep my feelings to myself for now and just spend more time with him.

He's my first Leo. I wasn't even attracted to him when I met him. What a surprise that I find myself thinking about him alot and wondering when I'll see him next. Talk about Lion Power! (or voodoo perhaps?)

Thanks to P-Angel for the welcome and to everyone for your advice. I am naturally loving and giving so it comes easy to give to him. I dont overdue it that I know of. I asked him last night if I was too much, he said NO. I am real independent and do my own things so I think its all moving along fine. To Peixe77 Id say from my experience of late with this new Leo, go ahead and go for it.. I have found that I expressed my feelings right away, and he liked it and it hasnt scared him off at all. In fact we met at an on line dating personals.. the date lasted for 12 hours then until weeee in the night on text and IM.. the next day we decided we were a match and would be a couple and start a relationship. So we did and its been great.. I have never known a leo before so I had to start studying their personalities/traits etc, thru online message boards like this.. It has really helped me understand the way he is. Im not perfect by any means, but he does have his little mood swings and hissy fits, and everything is about him.. but it only lasts for a second. I just let him be him, and I am who I am. He is a great man tho, very loyal, considerate, honest, funny, sweet and kind. and more.. He is definatelly worth hanging on too. Tell your Leo, let the feelings flow and have the greatest holidays ever, thats what I am planning. Happy thanksgiving to all.
