If you've got your eye on a Leo, you might feel a little star-struck. The lion of the zodiac has the reputation for being the life of the party and he does like standing in that spotlight. But as a Sagittarius, the heat doesn't really bother you—you're the social butterfly to his party animal. As two fire signs, you have a strong compatibility that's sure to throw off a few sparks. Here, you'll find everything you need to know to lead him into your orbit like a moth to a flame.

Flaunt your independence.

Lions typically like ladies who stand on their own two feet. Sagittarians are known as bohemian free spirits and you've definitely got your own life—just let him know that! He'll really like it if you want to spend time with him, but he'll turn cold if it seems like you need to be with him.
- If you know he's going to be at a party, show up alone and float around from group to group. You'll definitely get his attention.
- When you're out with him, take time to mingle with others rather than staying glued to his side. This will give him the sense that you don't need him to have a good time.

2

Show off your unique fashion sense.

A Leo will be attracted to someone who stands out from the crowd. If you have a flair for the dramatic, you're more likely to catch that lion's eye. This might be a challenge for you if you're the typical Sagittarius who isn't much for making a statement through your clothing.^{[1]

- For example, if you prefer jeans and a blazer for a night out, you might add a bold scarf or a flamboyant hat.
- Never underestimate the power of a brightly colored blouse or dress in a sea of people wearing black and neutral colors.
- Lions tend to be attracted to all that sparkles—especially gold. A chunky gold bracelet or dramatic gold necklace is sure to capture his attention.

Let him take the lead.

He'll pounce at the opportunity to show off his skills.^{[2]

Play a little hard to get.

He's not going to be interested in the women who are literally throwing themselves at his feet—he wants the one who plays it cool and barely seems to notice him at all.
- You still want to give him some signals that you're interested—just don't act like you need him. Keep a little distance and he'll feel like he's met his match.
- Keep him interested with a few tidbits—a compliment here, a flirt there—and then sit back and let him come after you. He'll relish the challenge.
