    • “How are you still single?! 🤯”

  1. Leos like to keep their texting lighthearted and full of positivity. To match her energy, include emojis and GIFs that communicate your intention in texts. Happy emojis and smiley faces add extra warmth to a text, and you can send a quick silly GIF when you want to make her smile.
    • Use any of the smiley face emojis to add warmth to your message. “Hey, text me when you get a chance! 😊” feels more inviting than “Hey, text me when you get a chance.”
    • Add romantic vibes to your text with a heart emoji (❤️), a kissing face (😘), a kiss (💋), or even a rose (🌹).
    • You could add some emoji flair to a “good morning” or “good night” text. Send a text along the lines of “Good morning, cutie! ☀️” or “Sweet dreams! 🌙✨”
    • Send 1 or 2 emojis per text. Otherwise, it might feel like you’re coming on a little strong.

You gain confidence when you feel good about yourself, and Leos will love seeing that confidence in a selfie.

    • “Saw this hilarious video and thought of you immediately! It seems right up your alley. 😆”
    • “You’re a big Marvel fan, right? Found a few memes on Tumblr that you might enjoy!”

    • “Hey! 😚 I’ve been craving sushi lately and I want to try someplace new. Any suggestions?”
    • “I’ve been having some drama with one of my co-workers. Since you’re always so great with people, I was hoping you could give me advice? 🙏”
    • “My favorite TV show just ended and I have no idea what to watch now. 🥺 What shows are you into?”

Talk about your goals and ambitions.

  1. Your Leo lady will take a special interest if you show her that you have dreams and encourage hers—because you can bet she’ll have them! Set goals for your professional life or your hobbies, and share them with your Leo while the two of you are texting. [5]
    • Leos look for a partner who will help them realize their ambitions. Make a point to encourage her when she talks about her goals and offer help if she ever needs it.
    • For example, you could text her, “I think it’s so cool that you’re a musician. I’ll be in the front row cheering at your next gig if you’d like me to be there!”
    • “I’ve been really into painting since college, and my goal for the next couple of months is to start submitting pieces to local galleries!”

Be truthful with her.

  1. Pretending to be someone you’re not will only lead to problems down the road. Be honest with her and let her see the real you! She has no problem with different opinions so long as hers are respected, and she’ll appreciate your honesty and openness.
    • For example, if she raves about a movie you didn’t like and then asks for your thoughts, say: “Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of the film. I enjoyed hearing your take on it, though! 😊”
    • Another example could be: "To be honest, I made a mistake at work today and I'm feeling pretty upset. Maybe we could talk about it?"
    • Even a small lie is a betrayal to Leos. If you lie early on in the relationship and get discovered later, you could be in big trouble.

Text her often.

  1. Send your Leo lady frequent texts to let her know that you can’t stop thinking about her. Keep the texts short and sweet; a quick check-in every day will make her feel desired and special. If she knows that she has your attention, she’s more likely to get invested in the relationship.
    • “Hey you! Just wanted to tell you that I’m thinking of you. 😘”
    • “Good morning! ☀️ Hope you have a great day at work. Let’s chat when you’re free!”
    • “You’re the first thing I think of when I wake up. ❤️ How can one person be so amazing?”

Be straightforward about your feelings.
