Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Leo

Leos are not all that hard to attract if you know what you're doing. A true Leo loves compliments and praise. They need these things and never think a compliment is insincere or too much. If you show attention and admiration to a Leo, they will take notice. But be careful of their feelings. If you fake your admiration, they won't necessarily notice right away, but eventually they may. And if they realize your admiration was fake, nothing more than a ploy, they will definitely take it personally.

You can win a Leo over with more than just praise. They're not completely shallow. Try being funny. Leos are the kings and queens of the world, and like all royalty they enjoy entertainment. They also have a better sense of humor than most signs, so make them laugh. That they will remember.

The perfect date for a Leo can vary widely, but if you're looking for a surefire hit, try a cultural event. This will be especially successful if the event is a preview for another event of some kind. Leos love this kind of thing. Look for art gallery openings, advance movie screenings, or even a book signing followed by a reading. If you can pinpoint an author a Leo loves, all the better. Leo loves the complex and high brow, so see what's out there.

Leos love a posh ambiance. It's not about money, it's about how it feels. If it feels like it's for the elite, they'll love it. You don't have to break the bank, you just have to impress. Make that special cake. Go to that new restaurant. You'll both enjoy it.

Ultimately, Leo can make a great partner. Just adore as you would wish to be adored.

The Sun Signs and Love: The Leo Man

Leo burns brightly, but can also burn out. A Leo man may fall in love easily enough, but he may find it tricky to stay in love. He falls out of love just as easily as he fell into it in the first place. Lasting relationships aren't always easy for a Leo man.

But don't think that he is at all casual about love. Love for a Leo man is passion and drama. He is all in all of the time. Love is never a minor thing to him and it's never on the back burner. Of all the signs, a Leo will make you truly believe you are his first and only love. You two are meant to be. And he isn't lying or manipulating you. He believes it passionately. He is well and truly in love.

The woman who wins his heart is the very center of his existence. She is his all. To have a Leo man love you is like nothing else. Everything is love and light and passion. But just as quickly as it comes, it goes. Leo is done. He is no longer in love and ready to move on. He may not explain why he's done, but that's usually because he doesn't know himself. He just knows that the spark is gone, and so is he.

Very often, the Leo man falls in love with the idea of love. Love is a mythological creature to him, not easily defined, not easily found. He may think he has found it, but it's not an easy task for a Leo. He's really searching for that elusive woman who is passionate and adoring, yes, but also completely fulfilled by him. He wants her entire existence to revolve around him as his does around her. This is not an easy thing to find, so when his fantasy falls apart, he's out the door.

Leo is searching for a partner to cater to his every whim, his every demand, but he doesn't see himself as demanding. He is open and caring and trusting. How could he be demanding? Doesn't his partner want to please him? He wants to please her. For him, it really is that simple.

If he sounds self absorbed, it's because he is. A little, anyway. But his bluster and fire conceal a sensitivity and vulnerability that needs reassurance from a romantic partner. He also needs praise, he needs to know he's wanted and needed. If he doesn't feel these things, it won't be long before he falls out of love completely.

Sexually, he's not all that adventurous. He sticks with what works. Pleasure for both parties is important to him, so he doesn't deviate once he's found a winning formula. He may be a cautious lover, but he will never leave his partner unsatisfied. He will forever be loving and caring...at least as long as you can hold him.

When he feels wanted and needed, the Leo man will be cheerful, affectionate, and caring beyond belief. He will be strong, generous, and kind with his romantic partner. He'll buy her the perfect gifts, take her to the best restaurants, and generally adore her if she adores him.

And somewhere along the way, if he's lucky, a woman will come along who will snag him for good. She will manage to redirect his flamboyant personality, to contain it, and to teach him that he doesn't need to be admired and exalted every moment of every day.

Sun Signs and Love: The Leo Woman

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.

Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Cancer

If there is one thing you should know about someone born under the sun sign of Cancer, it is that they are vulnerable to both praise and criticism. If you want to catch and hold a Cancerian, let him or her know just how much you appreciate and admire them. Do this in a direct manner, for Cancer will come out of his or her shell that much faster if you are forthright in your words and deeds. But don't be insincere. Cancer can spot a fake a mile off, and they don't like it.

Attracting a Cancerian can be done simply by showing your gentler side. If you love pets or children, start there. You can also try revealing your intelligence and interest in the world by having a real discussion about politics, finances, or charities. If you have a problem in your life, give your Cancer friend a chance to show tour his or her best side by sharing. They love to share their powers of empathy and problem solving, so share away, but only if you actually want constructive advice.

If you're the one planning a date with a Cancer man or woman, try the theater or perhaps a cultural event if there's one nearby. A concert may also be appropriate, or the ballet or opera depending on the exactly tastes of the person involved. Perhaps an event with a strong melody, even of its just a restaurant with live music, might be a good choice.

Tread carefully in the beginning. Cancerians are vulnerable and easily scared off at first. They also aren't very good at forgiving and forgetting, at least in the early stages of a relationship. You'll need to build some trust before you can make too many mistakes, so take it slow

And don't worry, you won't be the only one taking it slow. A true Cancer woman or man won't be rushing things. Until he or she is certain their own advances will be welcome, expect some skittishness. But if their hesitation lasts too long, the relationship might not be going anywhere.

In the end, a good, solid relationship with a Cancer is worth the effort. Trust and be worthy of trust and you just might find romance.
