- Befriend your Leo guy's friends by asking them questions and making an effort to get to know them on a deeper level. You might ask, "So how did you all meet?" or "What do you like to do for fun?"

Leos are faithful partners, and they expect the same commitment. As an Aquarius, you might be a little more open to a nontraditional arrangement than a Leo (though everyone is different). Leos tend to be monogamous, though, so avoid giving other people attention to make him jealous. That will likely backfire and make him lose interest. You can also:
- Stay by your Leo guy's side when you're out on dates. Ditching him to hang with your friends at a party might make him feel a little left out. Invite him along to join in on the fun!
