2

She looks immaculate.

She’ll show up just a little overdressed—but trust that that’s intentional. Note the girl who’s never got her fly undone, shirt stained, or lipstick on her teeth. Instead, think of the one who shows up to every date, party, or workday looking like she stepped out of a magazine. That's probably a Leo.

3

She dresses boldly.

Take note of the woman who’s always serving major, groundbreaking looks. If she wore leopard print or sequins on your first date, that's a sign. Or, maybe she's just always ahead of the next trends. Looking average is totally unacceptable to her. So, search for the girl who dons all the hottest, wildest, and most striking fits.

She’s a fire sign, so she won't wait around. She'll take action. When everyone else is afraid to take on a task, she steps up to the plate.

9

She tells it like it is.

Search for that girl who isn’t afraid to tell you what you don’t want to hear. She's the one you won’t want to see on laundry day—because she’ll have thoughts on your outfit. Think of that woman who, as kind as she is, can’t stand dishonesty. In all likelihood, you’ve got yourself a Leo.

If a Leo is interested in you, they'll constantly compliment you and will buy you things. They also tend to brag a lot to their crushes. They love to flirt, so you might notice them twirling their hair, puffing out their chest, or strutting around sexily.

Expert Answer

Leos are the most affectionate sign on the zodiac! They love to touch and are super friendly and generous. A Leo has no problem with public displays of affection (PDA) and will be all over you. They also tend to use your name a lot and will enjoy whispering it into your ear.
