Signs a Leo Man Likes You

A Leo might like you if he shows off his success around you. He may naturally gravitate towards you or make excuses to spend as much time with you as possible. Leos also tend to act physically flirty with their crushes—you'll know he's falling for you if he goes in for a longer hug or playfully swats your arm.

  1. [11] Compare how to acts around you to how he acts around his friends, since it can be tough to tell if he’s into you or just being his outgoing, charming self. When he’s around his friends, he might seem boisterous and energetic, but that energy will get more focused when you’re around and he might show you his more vulnerable side.
    • He might express a bunch of enthusiasm for his friends’ interests, but he’ll actually try out your favorite hobbies and watch your favorite movies.
    • He might often compliment his friends, but he’ll talk about how unique and different you are from other people.

  1. Even a shy Leo guy who likes you might show up with your favorite snack or send you a thoughtful playlist (seriously, check if they’re all love songs). A bolder Leo might buy you flowers, stop by with a meal from your favorite restaurant, or organize an elaborate movie night for just the two of you—even if he says you’re just friends.
    • When it comes to date night, Leos will prefer to take you to a fancy restaurant rather than cooking dinner at home.
    • Instead of surprising you with a big gift, a naturally-supportive Leo might also make a grand gesture through favors. He might offer to take on a project you don’t like or ask if you need help around the house.

He craves your approval and attention.

  1. Leo men need reassurance in the early stages of dating . In public settings, he might keep glancing your way because he wants to know if you’re paying attention to him. Over text, he might hide his insecurity by teasing you with a cocky line like “Miss me yet?” But deep down, a Leo man will tease you because he’s secretly a big softie who cares about how you see him. [13]
    • It’s best not to play with a Leo’s heart, so if you want to win him over, be genuine and straightforward. Send him a text like, “I miss you when you’re not around” and you’ll make him swoon.
    • If he sends you a selfie or photo of himself, tell him that he looks handsome .
    • If he’s not sure how you feel, a Leo man might not make the first move over text. Since texting makes it harder for him to use his keen social skills and charm, don’t be afraid to text him first !
