I’m a fiery Taurus with a sassy side, and I almost only date Leos.
This isn’t a decision I’ve made. In fact, it can be a real pain in the neck, but I can’t help myself.
Leos are recognized for being passionate, loving companions that reflect the Lion not just in their haughty and confident appearance, but also in their power and skill in the workplace and the bedroom.
Many women (including me!) appreciate the devoted Leo, yet there are a few ladies who will inevitably conflict with Leo romantic partners.
Avoid the Leo if you fall into any of the following groups, or be prepared for some intense debates:
In This Article...
If you need a low-maintenance relationship.
Leos can be needy and grumpy, and they often need a lot of reassurance. A Leo lover will want to spend a lot of time with you, especially when you’re dating seriously for the first time.
Leos thrive on your acceptance and admiration, and their inner cub emerges when they’re feeling vulnerable. Before I left for work, one Leo I dated required that I tell him I loved him and give him a kiss.
It sounds charming, but it’s not so cute when a man-baby chases you down the hall in his boxers, expecting his morning display of affection, even when you’re late for an important meeting. Have faith in me.
If you can’t stand cockiness.
Leos are confident, charismatic, and self-assured. While self-assurance is appealing, Leos can overdo it and come across as arrogant and conceited.
Taking a Leo to a party is entertaining since they are excellent conversationalists with an incredible ability to make others feel interested and valued.
Their charisma, on the other hand, can easily morph into boasting or one-upmanship. Get ready for an unpleasant night if someone insults him.
If you’re hyper-logical and base decisions solely on facts.
Leos are very emotional beings. They are dominated by the sun and are normally quite happy and upbeat, but when they are unhappy, they make it known.
They’re known for being passionate and can get into some heated debates. A Leo may be too aggressive for you if you are more logical and prefer quiet discussions to extended, emotionally driven debates.
Their communication style may also perplex you, as they are guided by their hearts rather than their heads.
Leos have a reputation for being insatiable lovers. If you are not a sexual person, a Leo’s eagerness may irritate you.
Keep in mind that sexual compatibility varies a lot depending on the dates of your zodiac sign. The ascending and rising signs of Leos might influence how they express themselves.
There’s a whole new level of research you can pursue if you’re really into nerding out.
If you want to be the dominant partner.
The lion is the ruler of the jungle, and Leos are alpha men by nature. They enjoy leading others, developing plans, and generating ideas both at work and at home.
They are also extremely protective, which can come out as thoughtful or overwhelming and even dominating, depending on the situation.
Leos, on the other hand, don’t take no for an answer. When they want something, they are adamant about getting it, which can be aggravating if you are a stubborn person like me.
If you prefer to be in charge of everything, the Leo’s commanding approach may not be for you.
In either case, you must be willing to stand firm and demand to be heard. This zodiac sign may otherwise walk all over you.
If you don’t appreciate directness.
When Leos don’t agree with anything, they don’t hesitate to say it, and they usually do so in a forceful manner. A Leo might not be your cup of tea if you need your partner to sugarcoat criticism.
Even if it is awkward or painful, Leos will always tell it like it is. They will also expect you to be direct, so you may feel out of place if you are reserved.
If you don’t appreciate it when people tell you you have mustard on your face, smell horrible, or are acting rudely, Leos will most likely insult you.
They, on the other hand, take it just as easily as they dish it out. So don’t be scared to be forceful and administer some harsh medicine to them.
If you don’t enjoy being social.
While there are some shy Leos, the most are outgoing social butterflies who are the life of the party. They may not be a good match for you if you can’t (or don’t want to) keep up.
Their social ties provide them with a sense of fulfillment and personal worth. Make sure you get along with his pals because you’ll be seeing a lot of them.
I’m an introvert who, despite my lack of social skills, appreciates the Leos I’ve dated. They’ve helped me break out of my shell.
Dating a Leo, on the other hand, is obviously an accident waiting to happen if you don’t enjoy going out and become irritated if your partner tries to mingle without you.
While I strongly advise every woman to date a Leo at least once in her search for love, some personalities are destined to conflict with the lion’s proud, passionate, and affection-seeking character.
If any of these personality qualities apply to you, it’s probably better to avoid that charming Leo.
However, if he gets your attention, he will almost certainly do all in his power to persuade you that he is the only man you want to date.
In a relationship, are Leos domineering?
They have a reputation for being obstinate and domineering. They enjoy a good debate and are usually rather skilled at it. So, if you and your Leo partner ever have a disagreement, make sure you’re mentally prepared to lose a long, drawn-out argument.
What is a Leo man’s flaw?
The lack of self-awareness is one of the Leo star sign’s flaws. A Leo has a strong need to be first, and they can’t help but be first – even if it means putting others first.
Is it true that Leos are control freaks?
When dealing with a control freak, Aries tries to retain their cool and avoid saying anything they’ll come to regret later. They understand the importance of picking their battles, and it’s not worth it to get into a big fight every time someone bothers Aries.
It’s not that Aries let everything go; it’s simply that they don’t react to everything all of the time. Control freaks are handled in a planned way by Aries to prevent them from coming up with a strategy on their own.
Taurus values boundaries and limitations since they know that if they don’t make their boundaries clear, the control freak will disregard them and be disrespectful. When limits aren’t respected, tempers flare, harsh words are shouted, and relationships are harmed, which can be a major issue if the control freak is a member of your family or a workplace.
Just because you set boundaries doesn’t mean the control freak won’t disregard them. Nonetheless, it’s a decent first move.
Because Geminis are excellent communicators, their first line of defense is to engage in a dialogue with a control freak in which they can communicate their concerns. Geminis do not blame them or try to make them feel guilty in any way; their chat is primarily about Gemini venting.
The control freak will occasionally listen and hear what Gemini has to say; other times, it will simply pass them by. However, it is still beneficial for Gemini to express their emotions.
Cancer patients might be particularly sensitive, and they may blame themselves for the control freak’s behavior. It’s critical for Cancer to remember that they didn’t cause the behavior, and that by responding, they didn’t support it.
Cancers aren’t to blame for someone else’s lack of control, and they shouldn’t have to bear that weight. All Cancer can do is attempt to feel sympathy for them and not let their emotions of self-worth be tainted.
Because Leos are one of the zodiac’s most powerful signs, and they don’t enjoy feeling as if someone else is in charge of their activities, they tend to stand up for themselves. Leos will attempt to reason with the domineering person first, but if that fails, they may resort to fighting for power.
Leos aren’t going to sit back and allow someone else run the show when this sign is more than capable of doing it. They can be just as domineering as anyone else, but they do so in a more diplomatic manner.
A Virgo may easily see a control freak, possibly because they share some of the same difficulties.
They are both perfectionists who like things done their way. They can be overcritical and overly critical.
Instead of engaging into an argument with a control freak, Virgos attempt to keep their interactions to a minimum. Instead than fighting for dominance, Virgo will wait for the control freak to make a mistake before intervening.
Libras approach control freaks in the same manner they approach everyone else. They’ll try to see things from their point of view, empathize with them, and do their best to get along with them. The control freak may even be appreciated by Libras for taking care of some of the minutiae.
Scorpios aren’t fools, and while a control freak may believe they’re in command, Scorpio is most likely influencing them. This zodiac sign is ambitious, and they don’t like it when others come in their way, particularly if they think they know better.
Scorpio will avoid confrontation at all costs, but that doesn’t mean they won’t use deception to achieve what they desire. Scorpio will have acquired what they want by the time the control freak knows they’ve been duped.
Sagittarius is an adaptable sign that can get along with a wide range of people. They’re smart enough to realize that it’s better not to surprise a control freak with change, but to warn them ahead of time.
Sagittarius will strive to find common ground with them in order to ease them. They make certain that their body language is open and non-threatening, and that the control freak does not feel compelled to impose themselves in order to be heard.
Capricorns despise being bossed around. Capricorns will try their hardest to get along with their boss or supervisor if they are a control freak. Capricorns have a lot of patience and are willing to wait until the control freak burns out before taking over.
Aquarians are far too self-reliant to tolerate someone attempting to control them. If they have a control freak in their lives, Aquarius is more prone to disengage and distance themselves from them, both physically and emotionally.
Aquarius, on the other hand, can only take so much of being bossed around before fighting back. They aren’t afraid of conflict and are intelligent, so if the control freak begins a fight with Aquarius, they will regret it.
Controlling people comes naturally to Pisces. They enjoy having someone to lead them and assist them in planning their next moves. Because Pisces are empathic, they may look at the dominating person and try to figure out why they act the way they do. They also try to assist them in letting off steam. Pisces may block out the control freak if they are controlling beyond reason.
What makes a Leo man go insane?
Sharing a new experience with him, or being the one to introduce him to something you’re familiar with but he isn’t, will strengthen your friendship.
Leos are risk-takers, and even if things go wrong, the adrenaline rush simulates sentiments of love.
Taking the Leo man on adventures will show him that you have the potential to be an adventure companion he wants to keep.
Do Leos put you to the test?
With Leo, respect is a big deal, and he’ll put you to the test, especially if he’s immature. If he isn’t putting in any effort or treating you with respect, it’s time to go on. When dating a Leo, his attentiveness will reveal whether or not he is actually interested.
What is the love language of a Leo man?
Leo. “Angry and passionate Physical touch is clearly Leo’s love language. These loves require affection in order to be showered with it “Kavanagh agrees. “As Leos love to be loved in all forms, they also value quality time with their loved ones and words of praise.”
What does a Leo’s dark side entail?
Leos are famed for their generosity, yet they can also be fierce competitors. When others are down on their luck, schadenfreude is a dark side Leo trait that makes them smile on the inside. It’s even worse when they pretend to be apologetic, and it’s blatantly phony. Leos have temper tantrums, especially when they feel they have been wronged.
