If you've ever dated a Leo, then you know that it can sometimes be a challenge. There are a few things that you should know before you date a Leo so that you're prepared for the adventure.

1. A Leo needs to be the center of attention.

A Leo likes to be at the center of attention. That doesn't mean that you won't get attention. They don't like competing for your affection, and if you try to make a Leo jealous, then things might not end well with the relationship.

2. A true Leo is a leader.

Don't try to be a leader in the relationship as a Leo enjoys being in control. They don't blend well with people who try to tell them what to do and would rather be alone than be in a relationship with someone who tries to control the relationship. Leos are super compatible with those who love to be led.

3. Leos thrive with emotional support.

If you like spending time with someone, then a Leo might not be the person you should talk to because most Leos enjoy working and striving toward success. They want to be with someone who will encourage them instead of someone who is only concerned about being together all the time.

Let the person know how much you are there for them mentally and emotionally instead of trying to be with that person physically all the time if you want the relationship to be a success.

4. Leos hate being proven wrong.

In an argument, a Leo will likely win or at least do everything possible to win. Leos don't like to be proven wrong in conversations, especially in public. In fact, avoiding public discussions with a Leo altogether is probably the best course of action!

5. Leos show affection in creative ways.

Leos come up with ways to show someone affection behind closed doors. They enjoy trying to win you over and don't do well with other people who try to take you away. When you begin planning a date, a Leo will take charge and come up with something brilliant. The person might try to do something that involves letting their own skills shine, such as a sport or a hobby.

6. Despite being strong-willed, Leos are compassionate and big-hearted.

Even though a Leo can seem strong-willed and independent, a Leo has a soft heart. This is a person who is seeking to enjoy life with someone. Love is at the center of the relationship with a Leo, along with caring and a desire to please.

7. Leos are super energetic and avoid boredom.

If there are any Leos in your life, romantic partner or not, you know they are always bursting at the seams with energy. More often than not, this leeches into their romantic relationships, making for an actively fun environment for both partners!

8. A Leo can be brutally honest.

Leos are straightforward by nature. Because of this, they might seem brutally honest. This is a double-edged sword--they won't want to waste time dancing around the issue and want to get straight to the point, but if a Leo has a sensitive partner, this may hurt their feelings in the process.

9. Leos are efficient, but that could also mean a lack of patience for others.

Leos always want to find the most efficient solution to a problem. But, once they have a solution in their head, it might turn into a "my way or the highway" conversation - so be prepared with some solutions of your own!

10. Leos are very loyal!

11. Leos are extremely optimistic.

Leos don't tend to be bothered by setbacks, no matter how large. This is where a Leo's stubbornness shows as an advantage - they will push through any situation in order to reach a positive outcome.

12. A Leo may have a huge ego.

A Leo's positive ambition may constantly fight with their ego, preventing them from achieving some of their goals. A Leo's ego can sometimes be fragile, so choose your words wisely in constructive conversation.

13. Leos love to show off their hard work.
