If you're trying to get a Leo man to chase you, get ready to run! These lions of the zodiac love the thrill of the hunt, and we've got lots of tips for getting his interest and keeping him hooked. Read through these suggestions to earn yourself a loyal Leo.

Things You Should Know

  • Leo men love mystery and the thrill of the chase, so take a step back and wait for him to contact you. He’ll be wondering what you’re up to.
  • Leo men thrive on flattery, so don’t be afraid to compliment them with something like, "You look really handsome today.” They’ll be hooked!
  • Show a Leo man your fun and flirty side. Leos love to live life to the fullest, so show him how fun you are when you’re out in a group.

Be mysterious.

  1. Your Leo will be intrigued if you don't reveal too much. Chances are, he's surrounded by people who want to be with him. They probably overshare in trying to get him interested in them—nothing bores a Leo more! Instead, pique his curiosity by keeping to yourself. Sure, you can answer his questions, but don't tell him too much in the early days.
    • For instance, if he asks you what you like to do in your free time, don't give him a huge list of everything you enjoy doing and why you like the activities. Keep your answer simple and say something like, "I can't say no to laser tag or paintball. I suppose you'd say I'm competitive."

Play a little hard to get.

  1. He can't chase you if you're always around, so don't be in all of his social circles. Wait for him to contact you instead of texting or calling him. Being a little aloof also gets him wondering what you're up to.
    • If you're hanging out in a group with the Leo, don't follow him around. Sure, you can talk a little, but you don't want to seem clingy. You might even leave early and mention that you're heading somewhere else.

Flirt with your Leo to signal your interest.

  1. They're outgoing and direct so your flirting style should match that. He probably won't be interested if you act shy or overly sweet. Instead, say something a little challenging like: [1]
    • "Has anyone ever told you that you're trouble?"
    • "There are only 3 people fawning over you right now. Why so few?"
    • "I'm going to have to watch myself around you."

Shower him with compliments.

  1. After all, he's the lion so he thinks he's magnificent! Let him know that you think he's amazing, too. He won't waste his time if you're not willing to put him on a pedestal. [2]
    • You might say, "I've never met someone as outgoing as you before," or, "Has anyone ever told you how you're the life of the party?"

    Understanding a Leo man is recognizing his fiery passion and need for attention. He's a natural leader, full of charisma, who loves the spotlight. To attract a Leo, show you admire his strength and leadership. Genuinely praise and show interest in his passions. Remember, a Leo loves to chase, so don't give everything away at once. Maintain some mystery to keep him intrigued.

Be confident and independent.

  1. He'll want to show you off to his friends, so you should be his match in some ways. Let him see that you're strong in who you are and that you have your own life separate from his. You don't need his permission to meet up your friends or make plans.
    • It's super important that you're not clingy or he'll feel like you're an obligation rather than the prize he caught.

Show him your fun, happy side.

  1. He's not going to chase you if you're usually anxious, worried, or unhappy around him. Try to be as positive and happy as you can when you're together. Crack a few jokes or try to be the life of the party—he'll want to be around you if you always put him in a good mood! [3]
    • Let him see that you have fun with others—tell him about a fantastic concert you went to with friends or talk about a great escape room you did with them.
7

Have stimulating conversations with him.

  1. Sure, he likes having fun, witty chats with you, but Leos are a very intellectual sign. Don't be afraid to talk about tough subjects like philosophy, politics, or religion with him. He'll see that you're his match and he'll be impressed. [4]
    • This is really important to him since he probably surrounds himself with smart people. Let him see that you're up the challenge and he'll be after you in no time.

Do a spontaneous activity together.

  1. Ask him to go do something with you like take a cooking class, do some paintball, or throw a party together. Plus, he'll love competing with you or proving that he can do something.
    • Karaoke, playing pool, or racing go-karts are also fantastic ideas to keep your Leo on his toes.

Show him that you're loyal and that he can trust you.

  1. Your Leo guy will stop chasing you if he suspects that he can't trust you or that you're messing around with someone else. Let him see that you're only interested in him and always tell him the truth. [5]
    • In return, you'll be rewarded with your Leo's trust and he'll be a fiercely dedicated partner.

  1. He'll be able to recognize if you're just telling him what he wants to hear. Plus, he's probably surrounded by people who already do that. To stand out from the crowd, be yourself and don't be afraid to share your own opinion even if it's not the same as his.
    • Want to really surprise him? Challenge his opinion. He'll be pleasantly surprised and will probably be impressed that you're not backing down.
11

Chase your own passions.

  1. Leos like to be top of the game, so he's looking for someone who also takes risks and has goals. Take classes, learn new skills, or try a new sport, for instance. Don't let your interest in your Leo guy sidetrack you from pursuing your own dreams. He'll see your ambition and respect you for it.
    • Here's a great example of how to get him to chase you—if he asks you out one weekend, tell him you can't. You might say, "I'd love to, but I'm driving to the coast to take a fermenting class," or, "Maybe next weekend? This week I'm giving a lecture at the museum."

Set boundaries for the relationship.

  1. He might be used to people who drop everything for him or completely rearrange their schedules. Instead of always saying yes or inconveniencing yourself, establish firm boundaries about what you're willing to do. This shows him that you're worth chasing.
    • For example, if he texts you late at night and asks you to come over, you could text back something like, "I think you have me confused with someone who knows you better. 😉" If he wants to hang out with you but gives you no notice, you could say, "I'd love to meet up, but I'm busy now. I wish you'd asked me sooner."
