Leo woman always looks for a mate who excites her. She hates being bored (just like Aries woman). In fact, she sometimes gets into trouble because she has a habit of going for dangerous, dark souls whom she believes she can rescue and bring to the light. In this way, she's attracted to Scorpio, Capricorn, and Taurus men — though these matches don't usually last. Leo man, on the other hand, may want excitement, but he also intensely craves security and a mother figure. He wants a mate who he knows will take good care of his future brood. Only a mature Leo man will be faithful, but he always expects it of his partner. Once again, jealousy is not the way to win any Leo's heart.

Keep in mind that Leo man is not necessarily looking for the same things in a mate as Leo woman. (See individual signs to learn more about pairings with Leo man.) Read on to learn about love matches with Leo woman.

Leo Man

Normally, two signs together make a perfect match, but not so with two Leos. Male and female Lions require so much attention and adoration that satisfaction in this pairing is nearly impossible. It's an especially precarious balance to achieve between two people striving for the same goal. In bed, Leo man's hot-and-cold streaks drive Leo woman crazy — for good or for bad. This match purely depends on the type of Leo you're dealing with. If the two are mature, this can be a possible long-term relationship, even a possible marriage.

Virgo Man

This is, perhaps, the worst choice for a Leo woman. As a friend, these two go wonderfully together. They both like the finer things in life, and Virgo can be generous with Leo woman. Leo also loves the way Virgo can judge people. Secretly, she does it too. Though Virgo is freer with his trust, he's able to find a good balance in naming friends and foes. In bed, however, Virgo doesn't normally open up enough for Leo woman. And when he gets nitpicky and starts dissecting situations and people, Leo goes insane. This man is too mentally heavy for Leo, who wants excitement but also tranquility. This is not a probable long-term relationship, and it's not a likely marriage either.

Libra Man

Like Leo, Libra loves beautiful settings. He fascinates Leo woman. They're both trying to figure each other out. Leo doesn't necessarily trust Libra, but she loves his charm, his sexy ways, and his wit. Libra can be distant in bed, but when he's really there, Leo woman is completely taken by him. It's just too bad that he thinks she wants to lead. Deep down, she hopes he'll rise up to the challenge and dominate her more. This is a possible long-term relationship, but it's not a probable marriage.

Scorpio Man

Leo's convinced she's not in love with him. Then, out of nowhere, she falls. How did that happen? Perhaps she was busy keeping up with his moods. His self-pity drives her crazy, but she loves the idea of rescuing him from his dark side. She loves all his mystery, in fact. If she had to pinpoint when she first had real feelings for him, she'll realize it was when she finally went to bed with him. To her, he's the perfect lover — sensual, sexual, and intense. In the bedroom, these two are a match made in heaven. Out of the bedroom, however, they have all kinds of quarrels and misunderstandings. This is a very probable long-term thing, but it's not a recommended marriage (although this really depends on the other planets in Scorpio's chart).

Sagittarius Man

There are two kinds of Sagittarius men — the dark, pensive kind who only talks when he has something to say, and the happy-go-lucky puppy-dog variety. Leo is attracted to the first. There's something dangerous about him. She fears she has to tiptoe around him and will walk a fine line to keep him from going off the deep end. But she puts up with it. Why? He's one of the most intelligent men around. She respects him. He's adventurous, take-charge, and macho. He's one of the only men she'll allow to dominate her.

And in the bedroom? He's a stallion! A Casanova!Incredible! He excites her like no one else (except maybe Scorpio). If Leo can control herself, and if she doesn't get too aggressive or dramatic with the male Archer (who despises scenes, private or public), this can be a probable long-term relationship and a very possible marriage.

Capricorn Man

Capricorn man can sometimes be a bit dull for sunny Leo woman. But if he's not jaded and still has a bit of the wonder he's naturally born with, these two can play and laugh. She loves his sense of humor. He also gives her a sense of security that she finds very attractive. Sometimes, though, he gets too close for comfort. He understands her (perhaps a little too much), and this can spell trouble. He analyzes her and criticizes her. She protects herself by pretending he doesn't have it right, though she knows deep down that he's right on the money. In bed, sparks don't fly the way she hopes. Capricorn man holds back. He's got secrets and all kinds of issues, she thinks. She may or may not be correct in this assumption. If Capricorn can ease up a little, this can be a possible long-term partnership and a possible marriage beyond that.

Aquarius Man

In the beginning, Aquarius is so easy to be with. He's the male best friend she never had. She's amazed by his social skills and his natural ability to communicate and tell a good story. She thinks she's found The One. But then the problems start. She gets annoyed and even jealous when all his buddies run to him when they need cheering up. And he always drops her to help them. Sexually, their partnership is wonderful, but she feels there's something missing. She just can't put her finger on what that is. Aquarius thinks Leo is a bit too sensitive. Why can't she lighten up? If Aquarius uses his instincts more with Leo and is careful with her feelings, this can be a possible long-term thing, but it's still not a probable marriage.

Pisces Man

Pisces man can get immediately obsessed with Leo woman if he doesn't conquer her fully. She loves the look in his eyes and his deep analyses of the people around them. Pisces also adores Leo's sense of humor and her zest for life. If Leo has one or two Water signs in her chart, Pisces can be good for her. He actually brings out the best in her. He knows just how to play her and can cheer her up on a moment's notice.

Though Pisces is a trustworthy soul, Leo sometimes doesn't know what to make of him. She needs to know him better before she can trust him. Once she does, she sees that he is definitely worthy of her. Pisces, too, is able to adjust to his surroundings the same way Leo can. He's got an innate sense of refinement and style. She wishes he would stop pulling away, getting quiet when things get tough. She takes charge. If Leo doesn't feel that Pisces manipulates her too much, this can be a probable long-term thing and even a possible marriage.

Aries Man

Aries man gets Leo excited, and she wonders where he gets all his energy. In the beginning, it seems as if they really “get” each other. They admire each other's sense of style and way of handling things. Aries also inspires Leo's creativity and a compliment from him goes a long way for the Lioness. However, Aries' attention is sometimes sporadic, at best. It depends how mature he is. Leo will follow him around for a while, but then she'll want to retreat into her cave — Aries will want to follow. If she lets him in, he can woo her easily. In bed, they can be a great match. Thank goodness Aries is a real man, she thinks. She also loves the fact that people look up to him. Together they know how to paint the town. If Aries remains interested in her and doesn't hurt Leo's hypersensitive ego, this couple can be a longterm thing. They may even make an excellent marriage.

Taurus Man

He seems almost like a Fire sign when she first meets him. He's charming and possibly even a bit dangerous. Leo's definitely attracted to him. There's one big problem: Taurus can be petty. He doesn't like the way she spends money. Either he lectures her incessantly about it, or he keeps quiet and withdraws from her without explaining why. He also makes her jealous by flirting with her friends. In bed, think heat, sensuality, passion, and intensity. He's got the perfect style for her — he can dominate her completely and still service her in all the ways she dreams. He won't stop until she's satiated. This can be an excellent long-term affair, but it is not a probable marriage.

Gemini Man

Leo woman thinks that Gemini man is amoral. She doesn't approve of the things he says and does. But Leo can't help herself. Gemini not only has a magnetic sense of innate sexiness, he makes her laugh like no one else can. He's street-smart, and she respects this about him. He knows how to deal with people in a way she could never dream of, and he's especially great with kids. He's so approachable and she feels comfortable with him. In fact, she loves spending alone time with him — too bad he always has fans waiting on the sidelines. Thank goodness Gemini man doesn't fight dirty like his female counterpart. Gemini man thinks the Lioness is all woman, and tries to show her so in bed. Leo, though, gets the feeling that sex is a sport to Gemini. And she's probably right. If Gemini has some Fire or Water in his chart, this can be a possible long-term thing. If so, it's even a possible marriage.

Cancer Man

These two connect in some strange way. Cancer man brings out Leo's nurturing instincts, and he's able to take care of her in return. Although the two make an odd match, their relationship can work in and out of the bedroom. She gets hooked on his ups and down, which can be exciting for her in a way that's not necessarily healthy.

Making love, they can get adventurous together, and Cancer makes Leo feel things she didn't know she could. If Cancer is evolved, this can be a positive long-term relationship, and a very possible marriage beyond that.
