- "Good morning, handsome! You've been the star of my dreams lately."
- "How're you doing today? You've been on my mind constantly."

Make him laugh with witty remarks.

Playful Leos love to exchange teasing banter. Though he may seem serious on the surface, a Leo man prefers amusing and lighthearted conversation. You can win his heart by texting him little jokes or humorous observations during the day. Light sarcasm is also fun for a Leo—but he won't enjoy jokes that feel mean-spirited or critical. Feel free to tease him and get a little flirty, too; he'll eagerly tease you right back!
- "Breaking news! My dog misses you, so you should come to visit him. This DEFINITELY isn't about how I feel at all. 😉"
- "I may have just binged a whole show, but you're still hotter than the bottom of my laptop! 😜"
- "I have a very serious question that will have huge consequences depending on your answer. Pineapple on pizza: yes or no?"

4

Initiate deep, intelligent conversations.

Download Article

Leos have bright minds and need intellectual stimulation from partners. Send him thoughtful texts about various topics, from favorite films to topical news stories, and articulate your responses. A mental connection is just as attractive to your Leo man as an emotional one, so he'll find your communication skills especially alluring.
- "Check out this story in the local news! I'm curious to hear what you think."
- "Have you listened to this podcast yet? It'd be right up your alley, and I want to talk about it on our next date! 😉"
- "We have so much in common! I think we should re-watch our favorite movies together soon."

5

Support him.

Download Article

He's ambitious and wants a partner who inspires him to chase his dreams. Build your emotional bond with him by talking about his passions and cheering him on as he takes on challenges—both professionally and elsewhere in his life. Be affectionate, and act as a confidante if he needs one. Compassion and care are both important to a Leo man.
- "Good luck on your interview today! You're brilliant, and you've totally got this."
- "You did amazing today, babe! And I'm thinking the next time we're alone, you deserve a reward. 😘"

6

Tease him with suggestive comments.

Download Article

Drop hints that you want to be closer to him and gauge his interest. If a Leo man wants to be with you, he'll quickly pick up on texts that have a suggestive double meaning. Look to see if his reply is equally risqué—and if it is, that means he shares your enthusiasm.
- "I'm hungry. 😋 Let's try something new in the kitchen tonight."
- "I have a book here that I think you'd really like. You should come over and pick it up. 😉"

7

Let him chase you.

Download Article

Leos are bold and like to take charge. Encourage his Leo nature by letting him chase you a little; flirt with him and be available, but make him work to spend time with you. Emphasize that you have a social life outside of him but would love to include him in it. Instead of asking him out yourself, show him that you're interested and then hold back until he does the asking.
- "Hey! Stop thinking about me so much!"
- "I'm free this weekend. For now. Just in case you were wondering! 💋"
- "I made the first move with texting, so I fully expect you to make the first move when it comes to…other things. 😘"
- "I've got some things to do this weekend, but I'd rather spend time with you. Don't keep me waiting long, handsome! 😉"

8

Flirt with him enthusiastically.

Download Article

As a natural flirt, Leo likes a partner who's not afraid to turn up the heat. Once he shows interest in you, flirt freely and shamelessly. Your Leo man isn't going to beat around the bush when it comes to romance, so you don't need to either. Send lots of flirty messages and add emojis to emphasize your meaning.
- "Miss me yet? 💋"
- "You're going to love the outfit I wear to dinner tonight. 😘"
- "Why can't I stop thinking about you?!"
- "I can't wait to be alone with you again. 😳"

9

Send him seductive selfies.

Download Article

Leos want to look their best and love partners who can do the same. Text him a selfie when you're having a great hair day or wearing a stylish shirt that makes you feel great about yourself. You can also send him a more revealing photo if you're comfortable with it; your Leo will also appreciate steamy underwear or lingerie pics. Flaunt your good looks and show off your sense of style!
- "Check out my new outfit! Shall I wear it for a date night soon?"
- "Just got a new haircut! I'm dying to know what you think. 😉"
- "I thought about getting all dressed up to take this pic, but then I remembered that less is more. 😜"
