Hey everyone. I'm new here and thought I'd make the most of it by posting here and seeing if any of you Leo females have any advice or opinions.

I'm a Taurus man who is interested in an extremely captivating Leo woman. She told me that she was attracted to the kindness and softness she saw in my eyes, which made my heart melt. We started off emailing each other, then advanced to texting, had one brief conversation, then met in person yesterday.

She's very friendly, outgoing, open and honest, loves to laugh and very comfortable with herself. She's also a bit of a dynamo, which didn't really surprise me but took me aback a little. I'm a writer and well-spoken, and though I can be shy I can definitely hold my own in a conversation. First dates can be filled with anxiety but she was so carefree and fun whatever anxiety there might have been was blown to smithereens within seconds. She more or less dominated the conversation but I enjoyed it because it gave me an opportunity to really get to know her and she was enjoying herself, so I let her.

That doesn't mean I didn't say anything---of course I did---and we had a wonderful time. She texted later to let me know she thought it was a "great" first date and that she enjoyed my company. At the end of the date I asked if I could see her again and she said yes. Not surprisingly we've been texting today and laughter abounds as usual (at least as much as it can in texts).

Normally I'd just continue doing what I've been doing, but I also don't want to come off as boring and send her running in the other direction. She has a full-time job and kids and I try not to demand too much of her time, but I also don't want to fall off the grid. She's been very considerate, sending me texts in the morning to wish me a good day and I do the same. I also send her texts in the evening to wish her a good night.

Right now texting seems to be working and I really appreciate the effort on her part---it makes me feel like she's really interested in me and wants to get to know me better. In turn, I do the same thing, sending her compliments not just about her beauty but her personality, caring nature, humor, attitude, etc. I also ask about her kids and am getting to know more about them.

I'm hoping to see her again soon and already have ideas about our second date (hopefully a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, which she already said she'd love to do). I don't want to be pushy or encroach on her mom time, b

Here's the rest of my post:

but I want to continue being on her mind and ensure that she knows I'm definitely interested in her and want to continue getting to know her better.

She already admitted that she's more comfortable in jeans and tennis shoes, drinking a beer by the fire and listening to music, than going to a five star restaurant. In fact, she warned me that if I ever took her to one she'd probably embarrass both of us (according to her she's clumsy in addition to being boisterous, lol). I realize we've only gone out once but I want to keep making an impression on her and wonder if there's a grander gesture I can make that would touch her heart. Of course, we're all different but I'm hoping other Leo women will weigh in with suggestions.

Thanks in advance. :-)

Michael

I tried dating a Taurus once...didn't work. We went on one date and he tried saying he didn't have any money after we met up for the date. So I said the date won't be happening. Don't get me wrong, I didn't drop it because of the money situation, but how he did it.

She said she likes the low key intimate dates. Try that...do something romantic where you can be alone and really get to know each other. Or even do something fun like bowling.

Wow! What a jerk. I made sure to bring plenty of money with me, lol. Actually I got lucky and picked a cozy little tavern that neither of us had ever been to. I relied on Internet reviews and location and she said it was perfect and the kind of place she likes going to. So there's that.

Bowling would be fun but I'll go with the intimate, romantic idea first. That suits me well.

Thanks!

Bowling!

I've done that for a date before, and it's actually a lot of fun-- esp early on when you're still trying to feel each other out.

Don't rule it out-- and if she said low key suits her better, then making some "grand gesture" is just going to make her uncomfortable.

Really.

If you're trying to show her more of "you" that's good-- but don't do it because you're trying to impress... clearly, she already is.

I've said this for years, and this seems like a good situation to reiterate: If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

Fenway Park sounds like a good idea, too.

And congratulations-- enjoy. 🙂

Good philosophy. Things are going well and I certainly don't want to make her uncomfortable. And bowling is a blast even when you're not very good at it, unlike golf, which is frustrating beyond belief.

She also mentioned that she's always wanted to see the Patriots play at Gillette Stadium. It just so happens I have two tickets to a Pats game to be determined. I'm getting ahead of myself but it would be fantastic to take her to a game and go crazy together when the Pats win.
