I will never love be attracted to another sun sign as much as them!!

But they are difficult in my experience.

I dated a Leo w/ Pisces Moon and Cap Asc, and a Leo w/ Gemini Moon and Taurus Asc.

One word: inconsistency.

They are easy to win over for me, I ask a lot of questions about them, be enthusiastic, get excited with them, talk about grand gestures and fun things, be dramatic. Dress well, show that you have good taste..

Don't be boring or kill their dreams/ideas with rational thinking.

If you want to know what is happening in the relationship you have to be direct, but tactful. Don't assume anything..

They like being worshipped but they also like a mate who everyone wants but only they can have!

That's all for now! ^_^

My advice is to talk everything up cos guaranteed he's doing it too! Drop names, share a story and be utterly fabulous.

He'll assume everyone worships him anyway so make yourself a cut above the rest somehow.

I did it unintentionally by being secretly insecure and putting on a magnificent show of confidence. Gotta love the gemini asc!

Leo men are draining, some need to seek attention, others simply attract it. Either way its expected.

And not always reciprocated.

Your points about the drain and unreciprocation are so true..

I find it hard when I read about the loyalty of Leos, at least in my experience.

Obviously I am a Leo (15 Aug 73). I have a pisces moon.
I am married to Pidaua. This is what caught me and what I look for in a woman.

I like a woman that is loyal, intelligent, fun to go out with, fun to stay home with, ok just plain fun. Someone that is funny that makes you laugh and smile, just plain happy all the time.
Not someone who stays home, watches TV and eats bon bons all day long. I like someone to venture out and see and do new things.

I have also found that when communicating you have to be clear and concise. A Leo will and could possibly take things the wrong way or not understand the intent behind what is being said. Communications is key.

I met Pidaua on Superbowl Sunday (04 Feb 06). When she walked in the room it was like everyone faded away. Being a leo and a kinda shy one. I kept glancing in her direction, she was beautiful, and looked like she took good care of herself and still does even after we got married on 29 Jun 06. First impressions are important to a Leo.

Loyalty and honesty are other things that I look for. I guess the biggest thing is be yourself, dont be a fake. A Leo will see right through it and get bored quickly. If you lose his trust or loyalty it will be extremely if not impossible to regain it.

Leos do like to be the center of attention. This doesnt have to be verbally or in actions. I like to wear T-shirts that do the talking for me. I normally wont start a conversation unless I over hear something that I totally disagree with either.

We like compassion also but we get our feelings hurt easily but dont like to show it. If you pay attention to our demeaner you will beable to tell though.

Pidaua has all these qualities and is a wonderful wife and woman. She understands me completely. She will probably post on here and state her feelings and perceptions also. I am totally and deeply in love with her and tell her everyday like she does to me. It is a wonderful thing to finally find your one and only, the love of your life. You just have to be patient.

Honesty and loyalty are the best ways to attract a Leo and trust me, even though they love flattery- they can detect bullpoop from a mile away. They may act like they are hanging on fake compliments, but they know the person is full of it.

I am not sure how I captured his heart LOL.. all I know is that it was instant for both of us. We fell madly in love, but not in that OMG obsessive / posessive way- we just knew that this person was the person we had to spend the rest of our lives with.

I will have Bear the Leo write his observations to give you the Leo Male perspective

I have an incredible man that loves me deeply and I love him more than there are stars in the sky. I am not afraid to tell him how much I admire him, which I do. He is a strong Soldier and leader of men / women in the Army. He leads by example (and with the exception of getting angry at couple of times at certain posters here that made some incredibly derogatory remarks to me) he is respectful, always the gentleman and never lets me forget how much he values my support.

I want to see what he posted... LOL.. then I will post more

Sag Sun / Aries moon / Venus in Sag

****Edited... I was talking to Bear about this thread and it looks like he beat me to the post.

She won my heart by being herself from the get go. Being loyal and honest about any and everything. Just like our conversations, we can talk about anything and do not worry about offending the other person cause we tell each other what exactly, we are feeling and why.

She supports me in all I do and gives me the support I love and need. I am in Germany and she is in Arizona. We completely trust each other 100%.

We can do anything together and its fun, really fun. I enjoy all the time we spend with each other. I am totally and deeply in love with her.

I love you Pidaua,
Bear

I was hunted down once by one of them. I can find them quite overbearing at times. They demand attention and hunt for it and expect it. If not, they will throw a tantrum. If they want someone, they will demand them and hunt them down like a cat by pouncing on you when you least expect it. This Aqua found it a bit too much though; it made me feel like a winded stuffed toy.

Be prepared for name dropping and situation dropping though. One of them kept on constantly talking about what he did with his exes; it drove me nuts.

Anyway, as others have said, if you are no1 in the pack or are able to convince yourself you are to give yourself confidence, then they will love you. Play hard to get also works, you're the cat toy that likes to get away and they will chase you harder; it drives them crazy but I believe they secretly love it.

However, they are also very warm and generous; so when you get a gift, be grateful and worship them And be warm back and yeah, ham it up. And be humourous too, they love to laugh.

I think that Bear had it right about being clear and concise with the Leo. Too much talking about fluff makes their eyes glaze over. By fluff I mean that way that people talk in a round about style, never getting to the point and then forgetting what they were initially talking about. LOL...

Bear and I have been apart since July 8th and I trust him with everything- especially my heart. We just don't see other people as being enough for us to cat-around for since we have each other.

I once read that it is the Leo male that can finally teach the Sagittarius woman what real, deep love is all about. Well- it also takes the right combination as not ever Leo and Sag will end up being together. In our case, the author was 100% right on.

I enjoy playing jester in Bear's court. I love to see him laugh and even when he is having a miserable day, after being out in the field for two weeks and putting in a 14 hour day in the mud / heat and range- I love to make him laugh hard. I love that I can soothe him and in turn he does the same.

I can tease him about being "king" and he admits it and laughs.. and really.. DO NOT let that shyness fool ya, they are not shy, they are just taking it all in...watching how their loved one acts with others and ensuring no other scoundrel lion is trying to encroach on their territory. The other thing I found is that although they are protective they are not stupidly jealous. I have only seen Bear get upset with one person that made an overt gesture towards me IN Bear's presence. He didn't fight or anything, but he made it clear that I was with him and that the guy could take a hike..

I, of course, told the guy off LOL...Bear has no problem with the clown in me, or the fact that I have a large group of friends. He respects it and like he said, he doesn't want to be with someone that only sits at home eating bon bons. LOL... Of course, he married an Archer so activity is a BIG part of our relationship.

I also have to advise, NO game playing. Not being easy is one thing and playing a bit hard to get is also good- but trying to get them jealous is useless and you could end up being single (I also read that the LEO males knows your hot he doesn't need to you flaunt it.. he loves the best..which you are in his eyes... get it). LOL.. Petty games and little pouty fests where the guy has to guess for hours what's on your mind, doesn't work well with the fire man. Be yourself... be open and direct. If he is being over-bearing TELL HIM, but don't yell at him. Explain how you are feeling and trust me, he will move mountains to make you feel loved and warm.

Bear,

I love you too honey You mean the world to me Kisses and Hugs...

In any event, I would think that an Aqua would get easily suffocated by all the fire and yes, a Leo can be demanding even when they don't realize it. Your account reminds of the restrictive feel and smothering I felt with a Taurus ex. Even though Bear and I talk 3 times a day as well as text and e-mail I have never felt that suffocation like I did with the Earth sign.

I don't know that I have ever suffered the glare from a Leo though. The funny thing is I don't really notice it as oppressive- I will say to him "Whaaat... why are you eyeing me like that LOL" I think his Pisces moon takes over and he is very dreamy.

I am not sure if you have cats, but if you do I am sure you have watched their habits (and no not the butt-licking or litter box habits LMAO). Cats will routinely get up and walk around the house / apt the same way every day, a few times a day. They notice when things are out of line or have been moved or new things added. They may be sleeping soundly, but they are still always on guard (well except my watermelon cat - I can walk up on her and squeeze her before she wakes up). They like to watch EVERYTHING and I am used to turning around and their is my orange boy Fletcher, under my feet, looking up at me or on the refrigerator waiting to bat me as I go by.

So it goes with the Leo- some are obvious, some are subtle. But I catch mine doing the same, especially with that slight grin on his face. I love it.

But again, you are right- it isn't for everybody.

**Edited to add-

23, men that keep talking about their exes as numbers or in detail knowing that is makes you feel horrible are insecure, senseless morons. The ex Taurus used to talk about what a lover he was (ewwww) and how many women he had, who did what, on and on.. it made me sick.

Bear doesn't talk like that about his exes. He has an ex-wife and we share battle stories but I have never felt as though I was being compared or bragged to. Bear has accomplished so much in his 33 years, but he rarely talks about it, only bits and pieces because he is humble... as humble as a Lion can be.. if someone questions something he knows to be true and after explaining it to them, he's get teed off... but he will LET them follow their path and make their mistakes LOL...

Otherwise, this dude did have a fish moon, sco asc and nearly everything else in water. Must be the asc plus water. I'm all air and fire.

Bear has a couple of water planets- Moon in Pisces and Saturn in Cancer. Plus 2 planets in Earth along with his Ascendant. His Sun, Mercury and Neptune are in Fire while his Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter are in air signs. And yay.. for once the only Gemini placement in my mates chart is his MC.
