How to Make a Leo Man Want You More

Engage in stimulating conversations.

Be vocal about your thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Leos love to talk, and they want to be with someone who is a match for them intellectually. Talk about things like philosophy, art, film, and politics, and don't be afraid to share your point of view even if the two of you disagree. A Leo appreciates a battle of the minds and will be up for a friendly debate. After you see a movie together, go out for some pie and coffee to talk about the film. Say something like, "I thought it was interesting that the main character was also the villain in the story. What did you think about that?" If you're at a museum and discussing a certain painting, say, "I think the painting is a metaphor for the artist's experience with grief. What do you think?" Try to come up with some follow-up questions if they start talking about themselves—don't just change the subject afterward.

Carry yourself with confidence.

Leos are attracted to someone who has faith in themselves. When you're around him, adopt confident body language by keeping your head held high and your shoulders back. Avoid putting yourself down or talking about your insecurities. Instead, flaunt what makes you special. Leos are one of the most self-assured signs of the zodiac, and they're looking for a partner that shares that belief in themselves. If you see him at a party, smile at him and walk over to say hi. You may be nervous on the inside, but you'll look relaxed and confident to him. Don't be shy about all of the cool things that you do. If he asks about your interest in piano, for example, proudly tell him that you've been playing for 10 years and won a state competition. Confidence takes work to build over time. If you're not always feeling super confident, try faking it. Keeping good posture and repeating mantras in your head like, "I am awesome!" or "I can do this" can really help.

Compliment him often.

Leos like to be adored for their unique qualities and talents. Leos are usually pretty confident, but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy being flattered and built up by the person they like. Compliment the Leo guy you fancy for all the things that make him special. You can flatter his looks, but don't be afraid to go deeper. He'll want to hear what makes him different from the rest, whether that be his sense of humor, his storytelling abilities, or his masterful artistic skills. Next time he tells a funny joke, say something like, "You make me laugh more than anyone. You could've been a standup comedian in another life." If he texts you some of his photography work, respond with, "You've got such a knack for capturing movement! I love how engaging your photos are." If you do compliment his looks, mention something specific, like his hairstyle or a cool accessory that he's wearing.

Flaunt your fashion sense.

Leos enjoy aesthetics and are usually into personal style. Embrace your own sense of style by wearing clothes that make you feel great about yourself when you spend time with him. That could be your favorite jeans that fit just right or a lucky tank top that always makes you feel super attractive. Regardless of what you choose, he'll be into your self-assured attitude and want to see what you wear next time. You don't have to dress a certain way to impress a Leo. Just pick something that makes you feel good. Your inner confidence will shine through and catch his eye.

Ask him about his life goals.

Leos have star power, and their aspirations usually reflect that. Whether they want to be a famous actor or the most respected scientist in their field, a Leo will likely have big dreams. To keep his attention, ask him questions about what he wants to do in life. As you get to know him, follow up on his progress and ask about his current and future projects. He'll be happy to talk about them and will appreciate that you have such an active interest in his life. Be bold and ask him something like, "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" If he mentions that he's taking an acting class, text him something like, "That's awesome! Have you been working on any new techniques lately?"

Pursue your passions in life.

A Leo wants someone who follows their dreams just like they do. No matter how head over heels in love you may be, stay focused on your life aspirations. Try your best in all of your classes, go for a promotion at work, and above all else, never give up. He'll be super attracted to your perseverance and resilience. It'll also give him time to stay focused on his goals, which is super important to most Leos. Play up all the work you've done to achieve your goals thus far. Say something like, "I've been studying to get my MFA in short fiction. I actually just got the teaching assistant job I really wanted!" Avoid minimizing your goals or being too self-deprecating when you hang out. Unlike other signs, most Leos won't be threatened by your big dreams. They'll likely be impressed and excited to learn more.

Plan a fun party or a group hangout.

Leo men are usually social butterflies. They know how to be the center of attention and are looking for someone that shares the same love for the spotlight. If you're up for it, plan a fun-themed party at your house and invite him. Decorate your apartment, leave out snacks and drinks, and be a confident host. If parties aren't your style, invite him and a few friends over for a game or movie night. Leos enjoy being social and having many friends in addition to a close romantic partnership. Throwing a party or a fun group hangout shows him that you're able to command a room just like he can.

Be romantic.

A Leo man enjoys affectionate and over-the-top gestures of love. Once a Leo falls for you, they can be quite passionate about how they show their feelings. As you two get closer, do the same for him. Give him dazzling and thoughtful gifts, profess your feelings in bold declarations, and plan lavish dinners and dates to woo him. He'll love being showered with affection and will likely do the same for you in return. Write him a note with all the reasons that you like him on some nice stationery. Surprise him with a shirt from a clothing brand he really likes or a scrumptious cake from a local bakery. Dress up and plan a nice dinner out on the town. Alternatively, pack an elaborate picnic and eat dinner by the waterfront. You could also bring up some past memories that the two of you shared.

Stay loyal to your Leo man.

A Leo may have many friends, but they're faithful to their partners. When you spend time together, focus your attention on him and be attentive to his needs and desires. If you're out on the town together, avoid getting distracted by other people and keep making him feel special. Leos may be social butterflies, but they enjoy the security of a relationship once they commit. Show him that you're able to provide that security by remaining true to him. When you're having a nice dinner date, pay attention to him and avoid looking at your phone. Stay engaged with the conversation and keep asking questions to learn more about him. If you're in a monogamous relationship, do your best to tame your wandering eye if you have one. A Leo usually only has eyes for the person they fancy, and they expect their partner to feel the same way.
