What is a Leo man's love language?

wikiHow Editorial Team

Leo men are known for being super affectionate, so many of them have "physical touch" as their love language. They enjoy holding hands and snuggling, and they’ll likely put their arm around you when you’re sitting next to each other or walking somewhere. This fire sign also loves being the center of attention and receiving praise, so "words of affirmation" is another common love language for them. If you tell a Leo man how much he means to you and how great you think he is, you'll likely make him swoon!
