LEO, THE LION ??? July 23^rd ??? August 22nd

If you???ve fallen for a Leo lover, you???re in for quite a ride. Treat your lady or gent right and you???ll discover unfaltering passion and fierce loyalty. Rub your companion the wrong way, and you will find out just how loud a lion can roar.

So, what do you need to know to tame your Leo?

The first thing you need to know is that no Leo can technically be ???tamed.??? Domesticated maybe, but tamed never!

The key to loving a Leo right lies in understanding the unique needs they bring to a relationship and how they expect to be treated. Leos, who are born between July 23rd and August 22nd, are known for being incredibly independent, efficient and boisterous. Leos are notorious for wanting to be the center of attention and for getting their own way. They are take-charge kind of people, who are often mistaken as being arrogant. Despite what some see as ???flaws,??? Leos and their lovers know those born under this sign are very capable, passionate and tremendously loyal to those who earn their trust and respect.

To love a lady Leo right, remember she does like to be in the spotlight. Compliment her frequently, but sincerely, and she will purr like a kitten. Make sure to give her plenty of room to stretch her independent legs, as well, or you will find out just how hard a Leo lady can bite back. When Leo ladies are given the space they need to shine and their lovers earn their respect, they make terribly passionate and loyal companions.

Now, if you???ve set your sights on a Leo gent, you???re in for a roaring good time. Like lady Leos, the guys also enjoy being the center of attention. They are go-getters who feed off of praise and they do like to be the kings of their castles. Don???t expect to ???tame??? a Leo gent fully, but if you treat him right you will enjoy a passion that???s virtually unending and a mate who is willing to protect and defend. This is, after all, the role of the Leo guy in a relationship.

Leo lovers are often falsely accused of being a bit self-centered. While they do enjoy their time in the sun, those born under this sign simply need to be reassured a little more frequently than others. When this need is fed, the Leo proves to be a passionate and devoted lover who enjoys having a good time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL MY LEO GUYS AND GALS!!!!

There???s just something about warm tropical breezes, beautiful blue waters and exotic drinks with paper umbrellas that combine to bring out the romantic side in some people. If you and your sweetie adore nights at the beach, you can spice up your love life without ever leaving home.

No, really! With a little bit of planning and some romantic magic, you can bring the beach to your lover. Here???s how:

??        Set the atmosphere ??? To replicate a night at the beach, you???re going to need a little surf, a touch of sand and lots of starry sky. You can create the perfect atmosphere in your backyard by buying a little ???sand??? from a hardware store, popping in a CD that plays ocean or steel drum sounds and filling a kiddie pool with warm water. (If you happen to have a real pool, even better.) Whatever the case, sprinkle the sand for that perfect between-the-toes feel and set up a comfortable chairs for lounging. You might also want to pick up some tiki torches to add to that tropical feel.

??        Set a menu ??? This step is also known as ???call the caterer??? in my book, but I digress. Don???t forget to have some tropical food on hand. If your night is to include dinner, get a restaurant or caterer to make you something with island flavors.

??        Send the invitation ??? Even if you and your sweetheart cohabitate, you???ll want to make sure she (or he) is dressed for the occasion. Give her (or him) an invitation to dinner that calls for beach attire. You don???t have to go into too many details if you want to keep the surprise.

??        Don???t forget the umbrellas ??? To ensure a perfect night at the beach, you???ll need to have some drinks ready to go. Margaritas, tropical daiquiris, pina coladas and other tropical style concoctions are perfect for sipping. Just don???t forget the paper umbrellas!

Now, kick back and enjoy!  Savor your dinner, drinks and the feel of warm sand between your toes. Dip your feet into the water or take a relaxing swim before you dance to the music of a tropical steel drum band and see where the night leads. Chances are you won???t want to share all the details in the morning!

It???s Summertime and there???s so much fun to be had.  But you???ll enjoy it so much more if you???re not doing a solo act.

Use my tried and true dating tips for increased success in meeting a great Summertime partner.

As a confirmed bachelor (at least so far), I will share some of most successful tips for the first date.  They are basically straightforward but people often forget to use them.

1.                  When you arrange a date, pick something you both would like to do that involves the opportunity to communicate, talk and laugh.  What about a nice lunch, dinner, picnic on the beach, outdoor fairs, etc.

2.                  Dress comfortably in clothes that make you look good and most importantly feel good.

3.                  Guys ??? use your best manners.  Don???t let your eyes wander.  Concentrate on one chase at a time.  Listen to your date and look her in the eyes but don???t undress her with your eyes.  Don???t get tipsy and if you do smoke, ask her if it???s OK with her.  And for goodness sake, don't try to rush intimacy.  Remember you have the whole Summertime to light up her romantic flame.

4.                  Keep the conversation topics positive.  Beware of getting carried away with controversial topics such as religion, politics, etc.  And stay away from sexual references and discussions about past relationships.

5.                  Ladies ??? don???t start fitting the guy for his wedding clothes.  Just sit back and enjoy his company and don???t forget to let him know that you had a good time (assuming that you did).  Also, watch out for those plunging necklines, hot pants and super short skirts ??? especially on the first date.

Most of all, guys and gals, relax and get to know one another.  Be open and honest with each other so that you will see if you are a good fit.  Just be yourself and resist trying to impress.

If you are more compatible than not, you would have acquired a partner to spend the Summer and maybe even longer with.

SEE YOU LATER ON THE BEACH WITH YOUR NEW SWEETIE!

Summertime can be the most romantic season of the year with a little effort and planning on your part.  Here are 4 ways to light your paramour???s fire:

Offer Your Services:  Purchase your favorite scented massage oil preferably one that warms the body.  Then gift wrap it or place it inside some colored tissue paper and place inside a nice bag.  Enclose a gift card with something like this written on it:  I know a great Masseur who guarantees full physical satisfaction.  For an appointment, call then write your phone number.

Pamper with a warm bubble bath:  Prepare a warm scented bubble bath for your sweetheart.  Don???t forget the candles, rose petals and be sure to be dressed in sexy nightwear.  Give your sweetie a soft, soothing bath, rubbing them all over their body.  Then escort them to the bedroom and towel dry them with a warm towel fresh from the dryer.  Lastly, massage them with your favorite scented lotion and watch the evening light up.

Perfect for an Anniversary or Special Occasion date:  Have 2 champagne glasses engraved with your names and the date of the special occasion and make a reservation at your favorite restaurant.  At the restaurant, have a bottle of champagne served in your special glasses.  Watch your sweetheart???s face light up when they see their very own personalized glasses.  It also makes a great romantic keepsake and memory of your special evening.

Movie Star for the evening:  Make this a gala evening by inviting your partner out somewhere special, preferably where they have to dress up.  When they emerge for the date, start snapping their picture as if they were a movie star.  Ask for their autograph and ask them to describe the secrets of their romantic success with a make believe microphone.  Later, put all the pictures into a special photo album as a keepsake.

You can also think up some romantic adventures of your own.  There is never a limit to the ways lovers can use their creativity to spice up their love life.  Remember to try new, innovative ways to get those physical sparks flying and I promise you that your love life will never be dull.
