So true. Again, I just posted that although I'm a Virgo, I really act a lot more like a Leo and yup...Guilty! I feel like I get my pride hurt a lot and over stupid stuff!

Be passionate. Leos of both sexes are not fans of cold fish. We love warmth, affection, romance, and intense physical chemistry. Don't be hold back or be afraid to express yourself.

Very True!!

They do like challenges but not when the challenge comes as a 'game'.. They see through BS easily.

All fire signs have a thing for honesty.

If there are other circumstances that make it challenging... like if you were overseas for example - that could seem more attractive. But -game playing- is not for fire sign people. I see it most of all in the water signs actually - specially the men.

I'm a Gemini Pisces Libra and I was married to a Leo Scorpio Virgo and I didn't lift a finger. He ran after me full force from the beginning to end. In the beginning, I wasn't a cold fish but I kept my feelings to myself and I didn't reveal to him that I felt for him. He didn't care that I didn't say I liked him, he didn't care that I was dating other guys (they were Leos) LOL, but he was pretty sure that me and him were going to be together so he made it happen. He always said "I love you" and told me literally everyday "You're so pretty." Even though he initiated the relationship and marriage, I initiated the divorce and he was fighting me on it.

How does one kills a Leo's pride? Threaten them with divorce and actually do it. That will hurt them to their very core. Rejection is never something anyone can handle, but for a Leo, it tends to send them into the insanity ward.

Whomever said Leo and Gemini wouldn't get along are completely WRONG. Leo likes people who are individualistic and stand up for themselves (except for Aquas... who are a bit too weird). Leo also tends to like fun and intellectual types and Gemini is the ultimate fun intellectual.

To be brief: Leo men are high maintenance but they pamper you right back, probably more than anyone else would. So it's a way to invest your time in a person who will invest their time in you.

They are *LOYAL* but controlling, smart but pompous sometimes (I hate that), and the ones I've known and loved apologize when they do wrong, and they mean it sincerely. Which is so endearing.

How to catch one? Just pay close attention. If they are punctual, be punctual in return. If they seem to love a certain food, go the extra mile to make it for them or get it to them. Stuff like that.

I can feel like this with my husband. I'm often saying, "Hey give ME attention. Stop being so aloof!" We are happily married...but he is quite aloof with me at times. Says he feels it deeply but doesn't show it like me...I just want love, love, love. Attention, Attention, Attention.

And even though I am a woman I agree, you have to give Leo's a lot of attention. I admit it...I'm quite demanding of needing attention from those I love. But I'll always make sure to repay it in full!

Maybe that's your outer planets in Cap? I think it's great that you weren't swept off your feet.

Plus, most of the Aries I know are a little slow to open up to people.

Has to be, they're in my 7th afterall. I also think my Gem ASC gives me more of an observing nature, and then my slow poke moon.

Compliments for sure. But be sincere about them. Be attentive to his needs as much as you are comfortable with. I personally thrive doing small things for him (and other special peeps in my life). But don't do anything you are not ready to continue long term, as you would be setting yourself up for unhappiness and frustration.

Although they thrive with compliments they are frugal complementing you. So if you, need that attention, think long and hard before moving forward. :P

My Leo friend happens to have Venus in Virgo (nasty!) so their way of showing appreciation and admiration is by helping you reach your peak and pointing out your "opportunities for improvement" :P Not necessarily true of all Leos. Just my luck! Do check if he has Venus in Virgo. If he does, run before you fall for his many other charming aspects!!

I'm cold as hell towards my Leo ex. I ignore him. I certainly don't give compliments. Yet, he won't leave me alone! A Leo man with a healthy ego (or any man really) will move on if their feelings for someone are not reciprocated. They will behave exactly as you described.

Unfortunately, I found a Leo who is quite damaged for whatever reason. He doesn't accept the word "no." They stalk their prey much like a lion stalking a gazelle or whatever the hell lions eat.

isn't that how you would attract anyone? I mean, do compliments and making someone feel really important really stop at Leo, if you want to attract them?
