Here&#8217;s our guide to navigating first moves, knowing if it&#8217;s reciprocal, flirting and memorable date ideas. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be camera ready if you&#8217;re dating a <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/horoscopes\/daily\/leo\/\">Leo<\/a>. In other words, it&#8217;s: Lights, camera, action! This <a href=\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/astrology\/elements-fire-earth-air-water-signs\/\" data-type=\"as_learn_article\" data-id=\"3175\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fire sign<\/a> views life as a theatrical production, in which they naturally star as the brooding empath, the tragic lover, the lone hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a good chance Leo has seen every romantic movie in their favorite genre, too\u2014be it film noir, Hollywood classics, or retro teen dramas like <em>Say Anything<\/em>. A new love interest is just another chance for them to live vicariously as John Cusack or Audrey Hepburn, to act out their fantasies on life\u2019s big stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First moves: How Leo woos you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leo loves the art of wooship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You could even say it\u2019s a hobby for them. The Lion is a predatory animal, so hunting is their game. It connects them to their prowess. Our Leo friend Kurt took a course with Mystery, star of the reality show <em>The Pickup Artist<\/em>, designed to help nerdy schleps score with women. Kurt has no problem getting laid, but per Mystery\u2019s teachings, began wearing big coats and black eyeliner, diligently honing this \u201ccraft.\u201d Another Leo we know began replying to Tinder profiles of people in open relationships as a means of exploring her own sex-positive nature\u2014and attempting to manage her \u201cjealousy issues.\u201d This study brought mixed results, but she swears she regrets nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because a Leo woos you with three dozen roses, a case of champagne and their own poetry doesn\u2019t mean this is original material. You\u2019ll have to wait and see whether they\u2019re feeding their ego or genuinely want you on their adjacent throne if you&#8217;re dating a Leo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs a Leo likes you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some of the Lion\u2019s typical hunting behaviors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They send you poetry or a link to watch a \u201clife-changing\u201d TED talk, channeled meditation or DJ set<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They say it with flowers\u2014enough to fill a small cottage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They serenade you in the middle of the street or post a gushing video about your work on social media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They become your indispensable best friend, accompanying you to every important event<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They become part of your social activities and circles and start organizing entertainment for your friends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They insist that you remind them of their favorite movie star\u2014and maybe start calling you by their idol\u2019s name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They gush about how amazing you are to anyone who will listen, including you!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They parade you in front of all their friends like a sexy trophy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They outright proposition you or sweep you into a passionate kiss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They ask you to dance or sidle up to you on the dance floor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They send you concert tickets or a formal invitation to a black-tie event<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flirting with a Leo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take much to strike up a flirtation with Leo. Just talk to them. Every conversation with Leo is a playful interaction, a game of verbal cat and mouse. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s appropriate or not; Leo could make filing income taxes feel like you\u2019ve done something dirty and forbidden. Flirtation is sexual energy\u2014<em>life force<\/em> energy\u2014and that\u2019s the only fuel passionate Leo keeps in their tank. Dive right in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hunt them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Come on as strong as you want. Leo\u2019s not afraid of your obvious advances. They\u2019re rulers of the jungle, so the wilder you are, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay attention to them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Aim your adoring gaze their way and they\u2019ll soak it right up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let them hang out with you and your friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leo needs to feel like a VIP. If you let them into your inner circle, they know they\u2019re in a privileged seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crack a raunchy joke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lusty Leo always has sex on the brain, so if you\u2019ve got the mouth of a sailor, they\u2019ll only roar with appreciative laughter. Note: don\u2019t dish this out unless you can handle their even cruder comebacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reveal your wild sexual experiences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leo loves to be privy to all your insider information. Talk about your threesomes, outdoor trysts, the time you got fined for indecent exposure when you were getting it on, in the backseat of a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look them right in the eye<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct eye contact signals power and confidence, two big aphrodisiacs for Leo. They don\u2019t want to be with a partner who\u2019s intimidated by them. Match their gaze if you&#8217;re dating a Leo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dating a Leo: Epic affairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leos are larger-than-life lovers who want each date to be an epic affair. Dinner and a movie will rarely suffice\u2014not unless it\u2019s followed up with hours of dancing and a break-of-dawn dessert at a 24-hour diner. Their lust for life is unmatched by most and it\u2019s going to take a serious Energizer bunny to keep stride with the lion. Playful, passionate and fun, their ideal courtship feels like a huge celebration of life. Done right, there will be plenty of PDA. Leos are obsessed with the idea of being half of a power couple. If you&#8217;re dating a Leo, they want the world to know clearly that they&#8217;re with the prize catch in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leo rules the arts, particularly theater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Two tickets to a show are the perfect way to start out a date. Catch a Broadway musical or circus performance. See a sold-out arena show or score plum seats at the opening night of a hotly anticipated movie. Revel in the afterglow at a swanky lounge or club, preferably in the VIP section. They&#8217;re the zodiac\u2019s royalty, after all, and their companion should understand that they are worthy of the pricey bottle service that comes along with dating royalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The dress code is as important as the date itself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leos revel in any opportunity to adorn themselves. They love a costume party as much as an elegant affair. Any chance to seduce their sweetie with their naughty and wildly sexy attire will do. A thrill-seeker, dating a Leo might even mean skydiving or motorcycle racing. A trip to the amusement park can be a blast for more lowbrow days. Hopefully you love the wild roller coasters as much as they do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do on a date with a Leo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a horse-and-buggy ride through the city<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buy tickets to a fun and thought-provoking musical, think: flashy costumes, fast-paced plot, lots of great singing, lots of laughs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend a lecture and discuss afterward over a rich, supersweet dessert<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amusement parks and state fairs give thrill-seeking Leos a rush<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Head to a Renaissance fair and try all the activities like making candles and churning butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hit the spa for side-by-side massages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to a huge club and dance the night away<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you&#8217;re dating a Leo or want to be.
