Hi, I’m Anna Kovach, relationship astrologer and author of Leo Man Secrets. Leo men, ruled by the Sun, are natural-born leaders, full of energy, charisma, and passion. When they’re sexually attracted to someone, they don’t shy away from showing it—but they also expect to be treated with the same level of admiration and respect they give. Leo men are also known for their dramatic flair and strong personalities, so they tend to express attraction in bold, often unmistakable ways.

In this article, I’ll explain the clear signs a Leo man is sexually attracted to you. From the way he interacts with you to his physical cues, these signs will help you understand his deep desire and what you can do to keep the attraction alive.

1. He Gives You Lots of Attention and Compliments

Leo men are ruled by the Sun, the planet of vitality, ego, and self-expression. They love to be adored and seek out admiration from those they are attracted to. When a Leo man is sexually interested in you, he will shower you with attention and praise.

Here’s what to expect:

• He compliments your appearance: Leo men are often drawn to physical beauty, and they won’t hesitate to express their admiration for how you look. He may compliment your body, your smile, or your style, and it’s not just because he’s being polite—it’s because he’s genuinely attracted to you.
• He focuses on your confidence: Beyond physical compliments, Leo men are often attracted to confidence and charisma. If he’s constantly praising your self-assurance, your ability to stand out, or the way you carry yourself, it’s a sign that he finds you sexually magnetic.

What you can do: Accept his compliments gracefully and reciprocate. Leo men love knowing that their admiration is appreciated. You can also express your admiration for his strength, leadership, and energy, which will make him feel respected and desired.

2. He Shows Off and Wants You to Notice

When a Leo man is sexually attracted to you, he often wants to be the center of attention, especially in your eyes. He’ll go out of his way to show off his skills, accomplishments, and physicality, hoping to catch your attention and spark your desire.

Here’s how he might act:

• He makes grand gestures: A Leo man who’s sexually attracted to you may do something dramatic or bold to impress you, like showing off his skills, buying you a thoughtful gift, or planning an exciting date. This is his way of signaling his attraction and proving that he’s worthy of your attention.
• He acts playful and fun: Leo men love to entertain and often exhibit playful, larger-than-life behavior. He might tease you, engage in light banter, or act silly to make you laugh, all while subtly drawing you closer.

What you can do: Encourage his playful side and engage with him in fun activities that showcase his charisma. Show him that you enjoy his exuberance and appreciate his need for attention—this will keep the connection strong and deepen his attraction.

3. He Wants to Spend One-on-One Time With You

When a Leo man is sexually attracted to someone, he craves intimate moments where he can focus all his attention on them. He’ll make an effort to spend time alone with you, away from the crowd, so that he can engage with you on a deeper level. Leo men thrive in relationships where they feel adored and special.

Here’s what to look for:

• He plans exclusive dates: If he’s sexually attracted to you, a Leo man will suggest one-on-one outings or private dates. Whether it’s dinner at his favorite restaurant or a quiet walk in the park, he’ll want to get to know you better in an intimate setting.
• He’s fully present when you’re together: When he’s with you, he’s all in. He won’t be distracted by his phone or his friends—he’ll be giving you his full attention because he’s sexually drawn to you.

What you can do: Make sure you reciprocate his interest by showing him that you also value the time you spend together. This will reassure him that his feelings are mutual and create a deeper emotional and physical connection.

4. His Body Language Is Inviting and Bold

A Leo man’s body language will often speak louder than his words when he’s sexually attracted to you. Leo men are known for their dramatic gestures and confident postures. He’ll often use his body to express his desire and interest in you, and these signs are easy to spot.

Here’s how it might look:

• He leans in close: When a Leo man is sexually attracted, he’ll get closer to you during conversations. He’ll lean in, making physical contact or getting closer in personal space to show his interest.
• He mirrors your movements: One of the most subtle signs of attraction is when he mirrors your movements or gestures. This body language shows he’s in tune with you and that he feels a strong connection.
• He shows off his physique: Leo men are proud of their appearance, and when he’s interested in you, he may subtly draw attention to his body, whether it’s through his posture, the way he walks, or how he dresses. He may stand tall, puff his chest out, or wear clothes that accentuate his physique.

What you can do: Respond to his physical cues with subtle body language of your own. By leaning in when he does, maintaining eye contact, and showing confidence in your own body, you’ll increase the attraction and build chemistry.

5. He Shows Jealousy or Possessiveness

Leo men can be possessive, especially when they are sexually attracted to someone. They want to know that the person they’re interested in is just as captivated by them. If a Leo man gets jealous when other people show interest in you, it’s a clear sign that he’s feeling sexually attracted to you and doesn’t want to share you with anyone else.

Here’s how it might manifest:

• He gets protective: A Leo man may show signs of jealousy by becoming protective when other people try to get too close to you. He may subtly assert his dominance in these situations to remind others that you’re his interest.
• He gives you special attention: When he’s attracted to you, Leo men like to “mark their territory.” He may want to make sure you know that you’re important to him by showering you with extra attention, affection, and compliments when you’re around others.

What you can do: If you notice he’s getting a little possessive, don’t be alarmed. Leo men just want to feel secure in their relationships. Reassure him by giving him exclusive attention and showing that you’re interested in him alone.
