10 Leo Man Red Flags (Learn To Spot Them)

Some Leo men are as charming and friendly as they seem, but not all are! Be wary if you notice that your Leo man is kind to you but rude to others.

A Leo man who is overly possessive, competitive, and jealous is a huge red flag. Be careful if your Leo man can’t control his emotions and acts out because of them.

If your Leo man ignores your needs but expects that he is your top priority, that’s a red flag! You’ll never have an equal relationship if he’s overly selfish.

1. He’s Rude To Others

What are a Leo man’s red flags? One definite red flag is if a Leo man is constantly rude to other people.

Even if a Leo man is nice to you when you first start dating, it’s still a red flag if he’s rude to everyone else around you.

Eventually, he’ll start treating you that way as well! It’s best to run the other way before he can start doing that.

If you notice that your Leo man is rude to waitstaff when you go out to eat or that he constantly mistreats his friends, don’t stay with him. He might be kind to you now, but that won’t last.

A Leo man acting moody or making an insensitive comment once isn’t always a mad sign. However, if he’s consistently rude to others, that’s a huge red flag.

Use these secrets to make your Leo man love you (they work like magic)

2. He’s Overly Possessive

Being possessive is one of a Leo man’s negative traits. Some Leo men feel possessive, but have it under control and don’t act on those feelings. A Leo man who always acts possessive is a red flag, though.

If your Leo man genuinely acts as if you belong to him, that’s a bad sign. If he treats you more like an object than a person, run in the other direction.

A Leo man who is overly possessive will act controlling. He’ll feel entitled to you and your time. He might tell you you’re not allowed to speak to specific people or demand that you always tell him where you are and what you’re doing.

If you think your Leo man is possessive, talk to him. A Leo man who cares about you will try to get his behavior under control instead of trying to control you.

3. He’s Make Everything A Competition

Being competitive is one of a Leo man’s negative characteristics if he takes it too far.

A Leo man making everything into a competition can be a red flag, especially if you’ve made it clear that you don’t want something to be a competition!

Your Leo man constantly competing with your male friends or relatives out of jealousy is a red flag. If he feels like he always needs to be better than the other men in your life, that’s a bad sign.

If your Leo man always competes against you, that can also be a red flag. If he constantly tries to outsmart you or act like he’s better than you, he’s not mature enough for a relationship.

4. He Always Needs To Be Top Priority

It’s normal to want a partner who prioritizes you. In a relationship, both partners should prioritize the relationship. One partner should never completely prioritize the other over everything else in their life, though.

If your Leo man expects to always be the top priority in your life, that can be a red flag!

If he expects you to put him before everyone and everything else, including yourself, he might have unrealistic expectations for your relationship.

Your Leo man shouldn’t expect you to drop everything for him constantly. He can expect you to be there in an emergency, but he can’t expect you to skip work or ditch your friends just because he wants to hang out.

One of the signs a Leo man is using you is that he will expect to be your top priority, but you won’t be his. He will want you to treat him far better than he treats you if he doesn’t care about you.

5. He Ignores Your Needs

One of the signs a Leo man is playing you is that he will ignore your needs. If a Leo man continues to ignore your needs even after you’ve talked to him about it, that’s a red flag!

Nobody is perfect. A Leo man might sometimes have to take care of his needs before yours. He might accidentally ignore a need he doesn’t know about or be careless sometimes. He should care about your needs, though!

A Leo man who constantly ignores your needs is not a good partner. If he expects you to care about his needs but doesn’t care about yours, he is likely just using you.

Talk to your Leo man if your needs aren’t being met. If he brushes you off, makes excuses, and continues to ignore your needs, you should run in the other direction.

6. He’s Insanely Jealous

The dark side of a Leo man can be seen when he gets jealous. Jealousy is a common emotion. Being insanely jealous is not normal, though.

Jealousy can be one of a Leo man’s bad traits in relationships. Many Leo men experience jealousy, but a Leo man who doesn’t have his under control won’t be a good partner.

It’s normal to feel a little jealous sometimes. If your Leo man maturely talks to you about his jealousy, that’s not a red flag! Working through emotions is perfectly healthy.

A Leo man lashing out because of his jealousy is a bad sign. If your Leo man demands that you stop talking to other men or he gets aggressively jealous around your male friends, that’s a red flag.

7. He Needs Constant Validation

Needing validation and reassurance sometimes isn’t a bad thing. It can be a red flag if your Leo man needs constant validation from you, though.

A Leo man who refuses to just trust in your love for him might not be ready for a serious relationship. He might need to work on himself and figure out why he’s so insecure before committing to someone.

If your Leo man constantly checks in to make sure that you still care just because you didn’t reply to a message immediately, that’s a red flag.

If he always seems to need validation and extra attention when you’re focused on others, that’s also a red flag.

8. He Won’t Trust You

A Leo man refusing to trust you, even when he has no reason to believe you’re being deceitful, can be a red flag.

It’s a red flag if your Leo man doesn’t trust you to be around other men. If he always insists on being there when you hang out with your male friends, he either doesn’t trust them or he doesn’t trust you. Either way, that’s a bad sign!

Your Leo man should trust you to remain loyal to him. If he acts overly jealous and refuses to trust you enough to go out alone, that’s a sign your relationship isn’t healthy.

Talk to him if your Leo man always acts suspicious when you go out. If he genuinely has no reason to believe you’re doing anything wrong, he might have trust issues that must be addressed.

9. He Cares Too Much About Image

Being a little vain can be a common aspect of a Leo man’s personality. Caring about his looks isn’t necessarily a red flag, but it can be if a Leo man takes it too far!

A Leo man who wears luxury clothing isn’t a red flag. A Leo man refusing to be seen with you unless you wear what he tells you to is, though.

If your Leo man only cares about what you look like, and not who you are, that’s a red flag! If he’s obsessed with showing you off as “arm candy,” don’t date him. He won’t treat you well or care about you as a person.

A Leo man who loves you will love you regardless of what you wear. He won’t cancel a date because you don’t look a certain way. If your Leo man cares way too much about image and it’s affecting your relationship, that’s a huge red flag.

This magic will make your Leo man want a relationship with you.

10. He Won’t Let Anything Go

A Leo man’s weakness in love is sometimes that he won’t let anything go. While many Leo men are forgiving people, one who isn’t is a bad sign!

Your Leo man will never be able to trust you if he can’t let anything go. If he stays upset about something you apologized for weeks ago, that’s a red flag.

A Leo man who constantly talks about his ex might not have let go of her. If he always complains about things his ex did or compares you to her, that’s also a red flag! He hasn’t let go of that relationship yet.

One of the signs a Leo man is not serious about you is that he will get mad over minor things and then hold a grudge. If a Leo man seems like he’s just trying to find things to be angry about, he might not want to be with you.
