Compliment his actions and behavior to really appeal to him—even better if you can mention the effect he had on others. For example, you might say, “You did such an amazing job of telling that story—everyone at dinner was hanging on your every word!” If he brags about you to his friends and shows you off to people, that’s another indication that he’s totally smitten.

Go for bright, bold, and regal colors to attract a Lion. A bright orange dress with chunky gold accessories will draw him in. On a cold day, a regal purple scarf that sets off your eyes will draw his attention to your face. Aries women are also known for having an accessory game that’s on point—that bling is sure to win you favors where Leo is concerned. Anything that sparkles will always draw his eye.

The easiest way to do this is to put your phone on silent when you’re with him and store it out of sight—in your pocket or purse. This tells him that anyone else who wants your attention can wait and he’ll love that you’re completely focused on him.

You might say, “I know you have a ton of admirers, but I doubt any of them thinks as highly of you as I do. " If you want to appeal to his ego (and he’ll love that), you might say, “I think you’re the greatest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. Wanna go out sometime?” As a Cardinal sign, you excel at starting things off. Leo, on the other hand, is a fixed sign, which means he’s great in the middle. Tell him how you feel and he won’t hesitate to pick up that ball and keep things rolling.

Tell him your life or career goals and he’ll realize that you’re not going to be looking to him for fulfillment. This will help him relax and feel more comfortable around you. It also helps if you’re a busy person, which Aries women tend to be. You don’t always respond to all of his texts immediately, so he knows you’re not just sitting around waiting for him.

If the two of you are sitting somewhere together, you might casually drape your arm over his lap or squeeze his thigh. When you’re standing together, keep your arm around his back or looped through his arm.

You might bring up current events or politics to start a good passionate discussion. If the two of you are both fans of the same film franchise or TV series, bring up a recent fandom controversy to stir things up a bit.

If the weather’s nice, you might host a BBQ in your backyard or at a local park. Make sure there’s plenty of food and drink as well as games so the party can last for hours. Bring people together for a pub crawl or dance party that can last into the wee hours.

For example, you might challenge him to a game of one-on-one basketball or soccer. Meet up at a driving range or batting cage for another fun and competitive date. You usually like to win more than anything, but if he wins, it might not be that big of a deal. As much as you like winning, you also tend to prefer being with a guy who’s stronger than you are.

If you prefer less of an adrenaline rush, a hike through unfamiliar terrain can also be a thrilling adventure. He’s up for exploring exotic places as well. What could be more adventurous than backpacking through Southeast Asia?

As you get to know him, you’ll start to see what he gravitates toward. For example, if he’s very particular about food, he might prefer to choose the restaurant. Something as simple as asking him where he wants to eat can make all the difference. Don’t be afraid to bargain with him as well. You might say, “You can pick where we eat tonight, but only if I’m allowed to pick the movie. Deal?”
