A Leo in love can be tricky to navigate. She wants praise most of all, so compliment her and don't mention her flaws. She prefers you focus on the good and pretend the bad doesn't exist. If you're just getting started in the relationship, be prepared to pile it on. Leo has the need to be marvelous, to shine brighter than anyone else, and you'll have to accommodate her. At least at first. Once you have captured her interest, the relationship can evolve, but at first it will be all about her.
If you're hoping to make a relationship work with a Leo woman, don't even think about looking at another. She hates competition because she hates to lose, so if you want to keep her, don't make her feel like she has a rival for your attentions. But, because she is a Leo, she needs a little more freedom, at least at the beginning. If you can't go with her to the club on Friday, expect her to find someone else who can. This doesn't mean she doesn't want a relationship with you. It simply means that she is going to the club and she's not going alone.
All of this may make her sound self-centered, but she's not. It's more that she's constantly moving toward finding herself, toward the ultimate self-realization. She knows she was born to be someone special, and she is ever in search of her destiny. Being a fiery Leo, part of her destiny is to find true and passionate love.
When she finds it, she gives herself to her chosen mate thoroughly and without reservation. She will not be outdone, so don't try to match her passion. But do give her all of your love. Anything else is unacceptable. If you do this, you will find a warm and sensuous creature at your side for life.
The Leo woman loves to be in a steady and loving relationship, but it can sometimes be hard living with her. She is the queen of the sun signs, after all, and she expects to be treated that way. When matched with the wrong mate, the Leo woman can become an overbearing tyrant, but this relationship is doomed to failure. Though Leo may be temporarily appeased by being in complete control, she will eventually become bitter and dissatisfied.
So the queen needs a king. Someone who can stand up to her but still make her feel like royalty. She needs affection and admiration, but she also needs a challenge or she'll become bored. For her, the perfect relationship will last forever, but the wrong match will end in a blaze the will shock even her. But for the right mate, she's a jewel that should be treasured for she is truly an extraordinary woman.
