On a personal level, they are fiercely loyal and willing to do anything to protect their loved ones.

You're a strong and energized Leader who's driven to make an impact on the world.

People describe you as courageous and a "force to be reckoned with." Indeed, with your passion, persistence, and versatility, you can do almost anything. You can start a company, run a household, or wage a war (and all at one time if necessary!).

Like all true Leaders, you're not afraid to take risks. You thrive on intensity and excitement and gravitate toward other strong-willed people. Your friends, family, and co-workers always look to you to lead the way.

You're willing to make unpopular decisions and to go against everyone's advice if you believe it's the right thing to do. You're tough skinned and don't have to please everyone. In the end, you'd rather be respected than liked.

Still, most people appreciate your honesty and directness. They always know where they stand with you. Indeed, you're a loyal friend and would do anything to protect the ones you love.

Romantics expect a lasting connection on every level-mental, emotional, sexual, and spiritual. Ultimately, they know destiny will deliver a love that most people can only dream about.

When you finally meet her, the attraction can be instant and overwhelming. True Romantics believe in destiny, but you're also willing to give fate a push in the right direction. If necessary, you'll even make a total fool of yourself to win her over. Romantics know that falling in love often means falling flat on your face.

Still, if the two of you can connect, you'll have the capacity to experience the type of love most people only dream about. Specifically, your "style" of loving appears to have these common features:

You're most likely to fall in love with a woman who is independent by nature. She won't expect to merge her life with yours. Keeping separate friends, for example, will just give you more to talk about when you're together.

A good sexual connection is also important, but intense sexual passion tends to wane over time. Eventually, affection and companionship are as (if not more) important as good sex.

Both partners have to decide when they're ready to make a commitment. You have to be sensitive to each other's needs. One shouldn't be kept waiting indefinitely, nor should the other feel rushed. The two of you have to agree on the level of commitment that makes sense given your feelings and how long you've been together.

Leaders in Love
Leaders like you are often hidden Romantics.

You like to be in charge of your life, so the idea of love taking over makes you feel uneasy. Still, your great imagination and skill at protecting people make you the perfect Prince Charming.

Good and Bad Fits
It's important to be compatible not only in how much you love each other, but also the way the two of you love:

• A man who values Romantic love, for example, will be most happy with women who share the same approach or who have a Passionate or Destined love style.
   
• However, you'd probably be frustrated trying to connect with women who seek Spontaneous or Careful love, because they're seeking a more casual relationship.

How do you protect the ones you love (and yourself) from your intensity?
Just as Leaders instinctively protect the ones they love from outside danger, they occasionally have to protect them from their own intensity. It helps to know your own strength. You probably underestimate your charisma and the impact you have on people. You rarely have to raise your intensity to get their attention.

Leaders are very industrious people, but it often comes at a cost to their loved ones. Your family and friends can easily feel neglected. So you have to schedule time and give them at least the same level of priority you'd give an important work issue.

You could actually use some of your own protection as well. You need time alone every day to collect your thoughts and relax. You also need affection and TLC, even though you'd rarely ask for it. Perhaps your intensity is a signal that you need to give TLC to yourself in some way.

While you're taking care of yourself, you may want to consider looking at these potential areas for improvement:

• You have a workaholic streak. You're constantly taking on new projects at work and home. It's hard for you to say "No." Yet, you have to break the cycle of creating more and more ambitious ways of winning everyone's praise and proving your own worth.
   
• You hate to be alone. Your challenge is learning the difference between solitude and loneliness. Try scheduling a "date" with yourself. Cook yourself dinner or order take-out and pick out a great movie to watch by yourself. When you spend all your free time with other people, you end up spending your time alone doing chores or dealing with problems. So you have to remind yourself what great company you can be.
   
• You're a people pleaser. You can be so focused on keeping other people happy that you forget to take care of your own needs. It sounds cliché, but the only one that can satisfy your need for approval is yourself. Try setting aside some time every day to think about what you've done and be proud of the little things you do that people can't or won't appreciate.
