10 Things to Expect When Dating a Leo
Not everyone can handle a Leo. Even if you’re turned off by their boldness, once they turn their charms on you, they’re irresistible. And once you’re with them, we’re not going to lie, the relationship can be dramatic, but it will also be overflowing with love, care and adoration.
Figure out how to tame the lion, and you’ll have a loyal protector and purring lover that no one else will ever compare to.
Leos are passionate
When Leos care deeply about someone, it will be undeniably intense. Being with a fire sign is hot and heavy, and this goes for the physical as well the emotional and psychological aspects of the relationship. Expect a thrilling roller coaster ride that will always keep you on your toes. This may be challenging for some partners, but the euphoric peaks and depth of connection are well worth it.
Leos are generous
Leos are needy by nature and will crave your attention, but they are also natural givers. Your care for them will be repaid tenfold, from quality time and thoughtful gifts to meaningful gestures and verbal and physical affection.
Leos value respect
As the so-called “King of the Jungle”, respect is critical to being with a Leo – and it goes both ways. They will respect your rights as they will demand theirs. Give them what they need (most of the time, it’s attention), and they’ll respect your needs as well, whether it’s your need to feel independent or your need to feel valued.
Leos are protective
There’s no nicer way to put it: Leos are jealous people. At their worst, they can become overly possessive. But if you take care of their easily-bruised egos, their jealous nature won’t be an issue and instead of feeling controlled, you’ll feel loved and protected.
Leos love fully
Leos put their all into a relationship. They might be guarded and careful at first, but once they’re in, they jump head first and will be fully committed. They’ll also never just give up and walk away; no matter what problems arise, they’ll fight tooth and nail for the relationship, probably even long past it should be over. So don’t take a relationship with a Leo lightly.
Leos are loyal
A Leo will have your back, even when you’re in the wrong. As mentioned above, they are fiercely protective, so once you are “his” or “hers”, they’ll be fully devoted. To a Leo, it’s the two of you against the world; so just remember that you’re on the same team, because you don’t want to go up against the lion.
Leos make things happen
Yes, Leos can be impatient and impulsive. At their best, that adventurous energy will be channeled into constructive and intentional actions fueled by their innate curiosity that you can’t help but be inspired by.
Leos are independent
Despite their need for your validation, Leos still need to feel independent. Careful not to make them feel smothered or dominated, or this urge for autonomy will rear its head and bite. On the other hand, with trust and open communication, you’ll feel secure and proud of your Leo partner’s strength and drive.
Leos are supportive
A Leo partner will not only have your back, they’ll motivate you to achieve your goals and dreams to the best of their abilities. They are ambitious as well, so they understand the need to be supported by the ones closest to them.
Leos are kind
Although Leos are fiery, their tempers are easily calmed with the right touch. They have huge hearts, and are thus forgiving, kind and compassionate. Sweet as they are charming, Leos are sympathetic listeners and will be considerate of your needs and emotions.
