Leos may be fierce, but they won’t go for these types…
Leo has some preferences when it comes to dating, and some definite dislikes! Here are a few of the fauna that should steer clear of the Lion’s territory.
Favor Forcer: They need to do things for Leo that the Lion doesn’t deserve, ask for, or even want just to get attention and love.
Parasite: They need Leo’s constant company or else get lonely.
Paranoid: They need reassurance from Leo 24/7.
Jealous: They need to know they’re Leo’s favorite.
Guilt-Tripper: They need Leo to feel like the Lion owes them.
Martyr: They need Leo to know how much they’ve sacrificed.
Are your romantic relationships mostly fact or fiction?
Dramatic Leo does everything over the top, so it can be hard to tell if that amazing gift or spectacular date really indicates true feelings or was all done for show.
The way you can find out if Leo’s affection is for real is to see what happens when you’re together in a group. Does the limelight-grabbing Lion let you tell the compelling story or the hilarious joke? The hardest thing for Leo to do is relinquish the spotlight to another. If you’re encouraged to shine, Leo may have found the one to share life’s stage!
These are bad signs if you’re with a Leo…
Leo loves to be seen, so there’s a problem if the Lion suddenly stays home, avoids groups, or tries to be inconspicuous. Is Leo’s spirit waning like the ashy death throes of a fading star? Perhaps your usually sunny mate has turned bitter and jealous or begun to growl, yet refuses to say what’s wrong.
If things have become too boring, the Lion could be on the prowl for a more appreciative audience. You may have done nothing worse than offer too little praise or too many directives, but it could be time to call it quits.
There’s one thing Leos do that may chase love away!
Like your namesake Lion, you exude confidence. You’re fearless and secure. But are you really? You want to be accepted for who you are—like everyone else—but sometimes you harbor a secret fear that maybe you aren’t as exceptional as you think you are, that you’re normal—like everyone else.
Are you pushing your dates to make you feel special without offering anything in return? If a relationship becomes all about “me, me, me,” a partner could grow tired of being an audience of one and seek a more equitable liaison.
Draw on your Virgo strengths to find love…
You don’t need any self-help books or seminars to find your ideal partner. Just as Dorothy had the means to get home right there in her ruby slippers, you already possess the means to find love!
Honest: You don’t misrepresent yourself and you don’t want a partner who does either.
Empathic: Being useful is one of your driving needs, and you have a sixth sense when it comes to knowing what others need.
Analytical: It may not sound terribly romantic, but it’s a useful quality when you want to separate the wheat from the chaff (romantically speaking).
Idealistic: You decide on your priorities and stick by them. Just make sure they’re attainable!
Too practical in the bedroom, Virgo? Try this now…
Virgo has a loving, caring, sensitive soul, but you also like to run the show. If things have gotten a bit too predictable in the bedroom, try something new to liven things up.
Touch: One of the body parts ruled by Virgo is the skin. Start with a bubble bath or massage for two and go from there. Think of the possibilities!
Hear: Put on some music, or different audio, to get a whole new vibe going. Whisper sweet nothings—or in your case, somethings, since you’re such a brainiac!
Taste: Have a few delicious tidbits to whet your appetite. Try some edible body potions made just for love (see “Touch” above!)
See: Wear something sexy—to start with.
Your high expectations can get in the way of love…
There are no halfway measures with Virgo. Your standards are high and your critical eye is practiced. You no doubt have a very specific mental picture of your perfect match. And you are tireless in your painstaking search as you meticulously check off each attribute on your list. Are you trying to sabotage your own efforts? No one could possibly live up to that paragon of virtue, charm, and looks! If you’re really serious about finding a mate, relax your standards just a little bit and widen your perspective, then you’ll find “the one.”
You mirror yourself more than you think…
Generous, thoughtful, charming, sensual—wait—is that a description of you or your ideal mate? Both, as it turns out. But there has to be a meeting of the minds as well. Since you’re so well read and informed, you won’t be satisfied with someone if the mental connection is missing. In fact, it’s that brainy spark that will first attract your interest. The love can come later. You are easygoing (usually), so your partner better follow suit because you’ll have all sorts of suggestions for improvement down the road!
If your Virgo is doing this, it means…
Generally speaking, Virgo is meticulous, cautious, and steadfast. When it comes to love, these signs indicate that there could be something amiss!
Misses Details: Detail-oriented Virgos never miss a trick, unless something is distracting them.
Forgets Appointments: This sign was born with a planner and pen. Didn’t show up? Uh oh.
Stops Trying: The very raison d’être of this sign is to make things better. If Virgo no longer cares, something is wrong.
Stops Helping: Virgo was put on this earth to be useful. If yours stops asking, better get to the bottom of it.
This is what you need to do…
Compassionate Virgo is a sensitive, unselfish, and faithful partner, but getting one to commit isn’t all that easy! Some of them fear getting hurt if they give away their heart unconditionally. Others can succumb too much to a partner and lose themselves entirely. The goal you should strive for is emotional equality. If each of you can openly communicate your wants and needs to the other and learn to receive the sort of feedback you like to dish out, it can help you unblock the path to intimacy.
