The Leo man is one of the easiest zodiac signs to understand. He radiates confidence, enjoys being a leader and needs to be the center of attention. The Leo is comfortable showing off and using his charm to get what he wants. Although he has a reputation as an attention junkie, he can also be polite, caring and warm.
In romance the Leo is enthusiastic and passionate. He has traditional ideas regarding dating and is not afraid to show his romantic, sensitive side. When a Leo is in love, he wants everyone to know it.
One the job the Leo is a hard worker who is willing to accept any challenge. He enjoys giving orders but shows diplomacy when dealing with people and business affairs.
How To Win His Heart
The Leo is attracted to a woman who is committed and loyal. He wants someone who will cater to him but needs a mate who is practical and can keep him grounded. For a lasting relationship, she should praise him frequently and touch him often. The Leo man is physically affectionate and enjoys being in close contact with the people he cares about.
A Leo is not interested in a woman who looks ordinary. He expects the one he romances to be absolutely stunning. When a woman gets admiring glances from other men, it is the Leo who will enjoy the attention, believing that he is being admired for dating such a beautiful lady.
When planning an event for or with a Leo, make it a big production. Because he expects adoration and approval, his birthday should be celebrated with a party that is posh, classy and first rate. A Leo believes nothing is too good for him and always expects the best.
What to Avoid
Although a Leo enjoys romance and prides himself in treating a lady right, she shouldn't expect him to compliment or flatter her. He will have an abundance of compliments, but the majority will be for himself. Any woman looking for praise and reassurance will be disappointed in a Leo's self-centered attitude.
Don't try to dominate a Leo. He has a bad temper which will surface when he feels a woman is showing disrespect or indifference. When a Leo becomes unreasonable, he can be easily subdued with love and attention. In a disagreement, a woman should tactfully present her side and then compliment and pamper him.
Never draw attention to his faults, as a Leo man does not believe he has any. The Leo's secret fear is that he is being ridiculed. His pride is merely a mask for his insecurity. As long as a woman showers him with love and respect, she will be rewarded with an attentive mate who will devote his life caring for and protecting her.
