Leo vs. Virgo – true compatibility or just a brief holiday love affair?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I’m a Leo woman and I met a virgo personal trainer on my Christmas cruise ‘08. I want something real to develop, but I sense the caution in his actions. Am I wasting my time and emotions as I wait to see if he wants to commit, or should I wait a little longer to see what transpires?

We spent a lot of days together, and pulled 4 all nighters getting to know each other. No sex, but heavy petting was involved. We keep in touch via email, and plan to see each other when he gets off the ship in April…or so he says…

I’ve been quite, reserved and ‘man-less’ for a few years out of choice, and he’s the first man to blow these cobwebs off of my heart and emotions. According to his best female crew member/friend, he’s very private and reserved. He’s never dated anyone on or off the ship even though he gets many compliments on his looks and physique

But he won’t reveal anything personal about his wants and needs as far as relationships are concerned. He’s made his little ‘jealous’ comments to me on occasion in a joking fashion, and he’s asked not to be compared to my ex when I said my ex was a virgo too. I know the kind of woman he wants, I know why he likes me, and I know he wants to take this as far as time and space will allow. But he’s SO reserved, and while I can see the cogwheels turning in his head, he won’t reveal his thoughts to me, or answer any questions I ask about him in emails. I’m careful how I approach him. Everything’s a big secret and I have no idea why.

He gave me the sweater he was wearing the first ‘date’ we were on, and has only recently started emailing me that he really misses me and can’t wait to see me. But he’s also had to change his disembarkation date by 1 month while he’s been asked to cruise with the ship on the Med!

Cruise ships are becoming more popular for holidays than ever due to the amount of entertainment they offer. Many people have always had the belief that a holiday cruise is more than they can afford.

This is a great way for the entire family to share the holidays without anyone having to plan the activities, cook the food, or make enough room for everyone.

Make sure you book your holiday cruise early though as they sell out fast. If you have a large number of people in your party you don’t want any of them to get left out. You can get the best prices and choose the cabin size you want too by booking your holiday cruise early. You will be responsible for your own transportation to the port so make sure you consider that in your price as well.

If you decide to take a holiday cruise for Christmas you will find everything is decorated with the theme. There will even be a Santa Claus to greet children on the cruise ship. You can bet the lines will be much shorter than those in your local department stores. Some of the most popular holiday cruises are those by Disney that include a trip to Disneyland or Disney World. If you are looking for a white Christmas then you may want to travel to Alaska or Antarctica. For a warmer Christmas you may want a cruise to the Caribbean.

In order to get the most enjoyment out of a holiday cruise, find out the various activities that are offered. Make sure there is plenty for everyone in your group to enjoy. If you find a particular cruise offers too many activities that you won’t take part in you need to look for another cruise that is more compatible with your hobbies and lifestyle.

The internet is a great place to compare prices for various holiday cruises and you can take a look at the different pictures too. Knowing the exact layout of the cruise ship and what your cabin will look like can help to relieve the anxiety associated with it. This will also help to build the excitement for all who will be traveling with you. Simply e-mail them with the information so that they can look at it too.

Your local travel agent will also have plenty of brochures you can pick up for free to explore the options for holiday cruises. They can help you plan the trip that you want for the very best price if you aren’t able to do it yourself. This is a great option if there are several parties going on the holiday cruise and they want to each pay separately. They can ensure everyone gets rooms by each other and take care of other such details to make the holiday cruise even more of a success.

In order to ensure everyone enjoys the holiday cruise, let those attending has a say in where you will go and the type of cruise you will have.
