- To inspire you, brainstorm your partner's values and interests. When they mention wanting something, write it down for future use.
- Gifts aren't always material items, so give your time and energy as well. Did they forget an important document at home? Offer to drop it off at their work.
- Share everything with them. When you're on the couch together, pull the blanket over both of you. If you make a green smoothie, pour them a glass.
- Reader Poll: We asked 624 wikiHow readers who've dated Leo men, and 72% of them agreed that the best romantic gestures for Leos are thoughtful gifts and bold declarations of love. [Take Poll]

Sexual Compatibility

1
In bed, Leos are equally passionate and playful. You two have off-the-charts sexual compatibility. Because you want the same things between the sheets, that comes as no surprise. Strike a balance between silly and intense, and the two of you will have an amazing time.
- During foreplay, deliver risque jokes, wrestle with each other, and playfully (lightly) bite your partner. This will help create a silly, sweet mood.
- When you two start having sex, make your passion clear. Try dirty talk, getting loud, and staring intently into your partner's eyes.
2
Leos adore being flattered and worshipped during physical intimacy. Whenever you feel inspired, offer your partner a compliment to raise the sexual ante. Gush over their body, what they’re doing, or how they make you feel. This could really enhance the sexual experience for you two because no one understands the power of flattery quite like another Leo. ^{[4]

- “Your jawline is insanely hot.”
- “I love when you touch me like that. You’re so good at this!”
- “That feels so good. You know exactly what to do.”

Shared Values and Interests

1
Leos can bond over being the most creative sign in the zodiac. Use this to your advantage in your relationship. Spend time working together on creative projects, encourage one another’s creative work, and have fun, energized discussions about the arts. No one will understand your artistic mind quite like another Leo, so let this shared interest enrich your relationship.
- Enjoy artistic activities together. Paint portraits of each other, compose music together, or try out a new creative outlet together, like sewing.
- Support one another’s creative pursuits. Show up to your partner’s open mic, give them edits on their short story, or wear that top they crocheted for you.
- Open up a fun conversation about books, music, or art: “Please tell me you’ve listened to Dominic Fike’s new single. I have so many thoughts.”
2
Leos put a high value on loyalty, and this'll benefit your relationship. Leos are the single most loyal sign in the zodiac, so let this create a feeling of safety in your relationship. Stay faithful when you two go exclusive, defend each other, and keep one another’s secrets. You'll enjoy a deep, unbreakable bond with your Leo partner if you show them that they can count on you. ^{[5]

- Carefully think through the decision to go exclusive. When you commit, it’ll be all-in. So before you jump in, discuss with your friends or journal to gain clarity.
- If you catch someone talking behind your Leo’s back, call them out: “Hold on. I can't be a part of this conversation if you're speaking negatively about Beth.”
- If your Leo has a secret that you know they're holding close to the chest, protect it. Treat it like your own deepest, darkest secret.
3
You two are the ultimate socialites. When two Leos date, they'll love that they don't have to split their time between their friends and their partner. Instead, be on each other's arms at parties and gatherings so you can enjoy your favorite pastime together. Dazzle the room side by side, and the admiration you two feel for one another will grow and grow. ^{[6]

- If your Leo partner is caught between seeing friends and seeing you, offer to join. Tell them, "I could just come with you if you want. I love meeting new people!"
- Show them how charming you are at gatherings. Tell jokes, ask others thoughtful questions, and walk right up to new people to introduce yourself.

Communication

Leos aren’t afraid to share their emotions, which helps create intimacy. You two are bold, brave, and emotionally insightful, which translates to an excellent foundation for open communication in your relationship. Practice active listening to encourage this in your partnership even more. Check in with each other constantly, because this helps build feelings of safety and trust.
- When your partner shares, nod your head, validate their feelings, and ask clarifying questions.
- Check in on how your partner is feeling: “Hey, I know we said we were going to focus on being more patient with each other. How's that been feeling to you?”

Potential Challenges

1
You two may become too self-involved in your relationships. Show gratitude for your partner, celebrate them constantly, and have frequent check-ins to avoid becoming more focused on you than on your relationship. You two are insanely loving people at heart, so to fix the issue, simply recenter your focus. ^{[7]

- Find ways to show appreciation for each other. Create a "thank you" goal for yourself. Make sure you thank your partner a certain number of times per week.
- Brag about your Leo partner publicly to make them feel special: “Did y'all know Tanya just got a promotion? I’m telling you, she can’t be stopped!”
- Set a time each week to discuss your relationship and reconnect. Let your partner know that keeping the appointment is important to you.
2
During sex, you both prefer to be the one calling the shots. Because both of you want to take the reins, you may butt heads a bit when getting intimate. Whether you two engage in power play or not, it’s likely that you’ll both want to take the more dominant role between the sheets. If you do enjoy specific roles during sex, take turns filling the dominant position.
- Remind yourself and your partner that the goal is mutual pleasure and connection, not just getting what you want.
- Once you settle that issue, the two of you will enjoy excellent sexual compatibility.
3
During conflicts, you two may bring too much heat to the table. You two aren't afraid to say exactly what you feel, which can lead to needlessly aggressive arguments. Incorporate de-escalation techniques into your relationship to avoid big blowups. If you're still upset, channel that energy into vent sessions with friends, a creative outlet, or a journal entry.
- Try touching each other before the fight gets out of hand. Walk over and pat your partner's shoulder, give them a kiss, or go in for a hug.
- Or, try cracking a joke to ease the tension. When you notice things escalating, start speaking in your best impression or make a silly pun.
- Take a quick break from each other to keep things from bubbling over. Even just a couple of minutes away can stop a fight before it starts.
