Taurus and Leo Combination...Good or Bad?

Anyone ever been in a Taurus/Leo relationship? What were the good/bad points?

As long as he's honest you 2 will be ok...if he lies to you and you find out, its over before it began (Taurus women never forget)

Any leo's out there, can you take a look at my post too on the Taurus board, as I have questions about this Leo and Taurus viability for a relationship: http://www.dxpnet.com/opinion/messages.asp?id=1321792<BR> Someone on another board said that Taurus' needed a lot of reassurances in relationships, and now that I think about it, that is true. While I'm not really demanding, I do have expectations in relationships. My Leo told me once that since I'm pretty, he thinks I've been used to getting my way with men all the time and if I ask a question and get a response that I don't like, or no response at all then it pisses me off (that part is true, the other part about being pretty is crap, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder). It seems he intentionally withholds from telling me something, because he wants to control the relationship, so if he doesn't tell me how he feels, then (in my opinion) he thinks he's controlling it. But in actuality, it just serves to piss me off as I feel certain ways, but feel myself not expressing it, because I don't want to look stupid by putting myself out there while he just says just enough to keep me around! As you can tell, I'm completely frustrated with this. As you will see from my lengthy posts! LOL.

Correction, I shouldn't have said "any Leo's out there." Anybody that has some insight on this I would love to hear your opinions!

I have never had a problem with my leo not expressing himself, what I do find is if I'm passionate about him and showing that passion towards him through my actions he will discuss his feelings, I have to say leo men are the most feelingist (made up word) men I know.

If he's holding back then it could be something your expressing that is turning him off. Too many questions can be annoying for some leo's because they truly live in the moment and if he's spending majority of his time with you well in his mind your his woman, he chose you to be with nuff said, his presence in your life should dispel any fears you have and if you need MORE reassurance then your going to run into problems b/c some leo men are truly selfish self centered men and focus mainly on themselves, if you need constant reassurance then your not being confident and that can become a problem down the line...suggestion..learn the art of pulling away and do a bit of ignoring (not too much) I find if I relax and go do my thing, I get all kinds of love and attention but if I'm doubtful and stressing and pushing for more well I get less.

This is a action oriented sign. I wouldn't say he's trying to control you USCTaurusGal, Its more of a confidence thing, if your showing weakness he will take full advantage of that, leave you hanging b/c a dominant leo male can't be pushed nor forced into it no matter how much you desire to have it...wanting him to express something that he's expressed through his actions time and time again will turn him off.

"because I don't want to look stupid by putting myself out there while he just says just enough to keep me around! As you can tell, I'm completely frustrated with this. As you will see from my lengthy posts! LOL."

If you only knew the benefits of putting yourself out there will bring you, you wouldn't hold back, Taurus have a lot of pride, leave it at the door with a leo, he will not use your love against you, he will actually give and love more. He's watching you and allowing you the space to hold back and thus he does the same. If you feel stroking his ego is beneath you then get out now LOL! Because you will always be frustrated, its worth the stroke, he will give back.

Thanks Tiki33. I agree with you a 100% and the thing is, I don't ask a lot of questions nor a lot from him. Haha, I know it doesn't seem that way by my post, but I'm really good at letting it flow. Since we don't live in the same state anymore, I kind of feel a bit off now, I guess; however, I let him initiate the contact (I seldom contact him unless he does it first). I'm very busy with my business getting started and since he just moved for a new company and has more responsibility (plus his family lives there, so they take a lot of his time)I have plenty on my plate and so does he, but I really am smitten with him, so whenever I have a bit of down time like today or late at night when going to bed, I just find myself thinking about him so much. I haven't felt this way in years! Also, I keep in mind that we are in different places in our lives, so I support him in doing what he needs to do, because I'm in another stage of my life, whereas he is younger than me and is just really getting into the "Corporate Game" so he needs to find his own way. He's very smart, and yes, extremely arrogant too, but I guess that's a large part of his appeal. Sigh....I'll just leave it as is and just continue status quo until I can't stand it anymore. I wonder if he does think I'm his woman, after reading your post. We've never had any real conversation about that, per se.I don't take anything for granted so I definitely don't assume he's seeing me exclusively, as he is attractive, well put together, and smells great (haha, I said that because someone wrote that Taurians love good smells.. which is true).

"Taurus have a lot of pride"
Yes, you are right. He's intimated that as well, but he has a lot of pride too. The funny thing is when we are together, it's like so all consuming, and nobody else exist in the world and he is right there with me...feeling those things, and just being a part of me. I'm a fairly self contained person, because I have to be, but he makes me act like I'm 16 when we are together...I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing, because I never thought I would feel this way after my ex-fiance' (Libra).

i'm only ever friends with them but i will say that their friendships are some of the best! at least with the males, not so much the females... it seems i am only ever attracted to caps in a non-platonic way.

im a leo female with a taurus male. i think it really can work out but i can see myself getting bored of him. I'm always loving and affectionate, whereas he is loving one minute and cold the next. And i can't deal with hot and cold behavior. Other thing is communication because we both have different style s of communicating. I always communicate through emotion and he is more practical, so he doesn't always see why i feel upset or angry and that confuses him. Both can work because both are extremely loyal and are both in it for the long run.

USCTaurusGal - Taurus isn't very expressive of their feelings and leo loves to hear all those things you're probably wanting to hear from him. Our fear is what if we dont receive the same expression of feelings back? As you can imagine, an I love You with No I love you return would be a blow to our ego. A BIG BLOW. & Leos ego and pride is very imprtant. You may neeed to be more verbal with your feelings so that he has the courage to come out with his. Beneath the strong exterior we have the softest and most fragile heart and fear of having it broken is our biggest weakness.

Also, subtle hints don't work... we need to be told straight out or it means something entirly different to what you meant.

You are right. There are mistakes I made in that relationship - I make no excuses, and yes, the MAJORITY of the problem was my inability to just be more open. I tried...sometimes, but it just goes against every fiber of my being. Once bitten, twice shy. No one likes rejection, and then throw in being an Earth sign and fughetaboutit!

Yes, I found that to be very true of him too.
