Are you in a relationship? Better yet, a relationship with a Leo? If you are, consider yourself lucky...and then again, maybe not so much. Though us Leo's are a prime catch, you may not be prepared to deal with the lavish Leo lifestyle. And we get it, you're not used to having such a fabulous person by your side. So, that's why I'm going to help you navigate your current or future relationship with the amazing people born between July 23-August 22.
For those of you who haven't been lucky enough to know a Leo, we are best known to be confident, yet pretentious, ambitious, yet dramatic, and loyal, yet stubborn. And whether you abide by astrology as a way of life or just keep up with it for fun, you can find out more about the sign that is the Leo, here.
Now, take it from me, a certified Leo dating a Cancer, when I say these are some key do's and don'ts that will make your road to romance smooth and enjoyable (this probably also applies to friendship).
DO provide a Leo attention.
Leo's don't need your 100% undivided attention at all times, but we do love to know that when it counts you're there to listen and remember. This is especially important during our daily rants.
Odds are if we want attention and you are "busy sleeping," we'll get it one way or another. So just prepare yourself to give in and pay attention to us!
DON'T tell a Leo what to do.
Leo's are very independent, which means if they feel you're trying to limit their potential, you're probably going to have big problem on your hands. Leo's want to grow as a strong couple, but also as strong individuals.
DO let a Leo bask in the spotlight.
Again, Leos LOVE attention. They're often found seeking the spotlight, leadership roles, social opportunities and standing out in general--not to confuse this with a lack of humbleness, they just shine brightest amongst a crowd. So if you're ever feeling a little outside of that light, don't fret because you're the person they'll thank first in their speeches.
DON'T make fun of a Leo.
Though Leos are extremely confident, they actually aren't as strong as they seem. One little comment can turn their whole world upside down. No, I don't think it's funny that you think I've gained weight. But, they'll also turn around and punch you in the face so don't think we're fragile.
DO show love to a Leo.
Leos don't need to be reminded that you love them all that much, but they do love public displays of affection. They want people to know that you are theirs and they are yours. And don't even think of getting a new best friend and posting all over their Facebook wall without facing some Leo depression. Also, tell all your friends about them, they love that.
DON'T be paranoid with a Leo.
One of the Leo's most prominent traits is loyalty and again we've already pretty much established their devotion to the people in their life. A Leo might have a multitude of friends, but if you're their S.O., you'll always be their priority and they'll never leave you--unless you screw up.
DO be a Leo's biggest fan.
Though the Leo aspires to have a multitude of fans, you should aspire to be their biggest. You'll be the first one they turn to with breaking news and though they may not outright say it, they are looking for affirmation. So believe me, you can never overdo your excitement with a Leo.
DON'T tell a Leo to be quiet.
Yes they can be too loud, even at inappropriate times, but they already get enough silencing from everyone else, so don't be another one of those people--unless you want to face the wrath of an angry Leo.
DO have patience with a Leo.
Leos are strong-headed, but also, are stubborn. They can struggle with learning they're wrong or learning that they can't always get there way, but ultimately come around to understanding. Unless of course they're right, which most of the time we Leo's are.
And DON'T just DON'T play games with a Leo.
In the "talking" process, the dating process, in arguments, nothing. No games are acceptable. Leo's don't have time to wait around and obsess over your mixed messages in between running a media site, volunteering at an elementary school, working two jobs, and doing homework for 5 classes; you're lucky they are even cutting out some valuable time for you. So don't play games, that's for children.
Just love us publicly, give us affirmation and show us infinite affection, that's all we really want. Is that too much to ask?
