Steps

1

Give him lots of compliments.

  1. Make him feel like he’s the most wonderful man in the world. Make him feel like he’s the most wonderful man in the world. Although they’d never admit it, Leos thrive off of positive reinforcement, and they appreciate some good flattery. When you’re with him, compliment his personality, his looks, and his fashion choices.[1] These small expressions will make him think about you even when you’re not around.[2]
    • Leo men tend to put a lot of thought into how they dress and what they look like. If you’re ever struggling to think of a compliment, something about his outfit, his hair, or his grooming habits is sure to put a smile on his face.
    • Reader Poll: We asked 1302 wikiHow readers how they show a Leo man they’re interested in him, and 52% said they would compliment his appearance. [Take Poll]

Show him affection.

  1. Share a hug,... Share a hug, give him a kiss, or tell him you love him. Leos tend to have fragile egos, so telling him how much you care about him is going to make him feel great. Plus, it will bring you two closer together, which will make him think about you even more.[3]
    • You could also buy him small gifts or perform acts of service, like watering his plants or tidying up. These little things will show him that you care.[4]
3

Leave a few things at his place.

  1. “Accidentally” leaving a scrunchie or your shirt will make him think about you. “Accidentally” leaving a scrunchie or your shirt will make him think about you. If you just spent an afternoon together (or even the night together), try dropping a small item on his floor or near his bed. When he finds it later, you’re sure to pop into his mind, and he’s going to get lost in thoughts about you.[5]
    • If you have a signature scent, consider spritzing it onto his pillows or his blankets to make him think about you when you’re gone. Just be sure to go light on the scents, and don’t do this if he has a perfume allergy!
    • You could also try wearing his clothes while you’re at his house to leave your scent on them.

  1. A quick text can get his mind spinning with thoughts of you. A quick text can get his mind spinning with thoughts of you. Let him know what you’re up to or ask him how he’s feeling. He’ll appreciate your open communication, especially if you’re in a more serious relationship.[6]
    • Leo signs are very protective, and he’ll appreciate knowing where you are and that you’re safe. If you’ve been together for a while, sending him a quick text when you get home safely will make him feel good.

If you aren’t together in person, send him a flirtatious text or leave a sultry voicemail. When you two are together, tell him how good he looks or that you can’t wait to be alone with him tonight.[7] The more you can flirt with him, the more he’ll think about you later on.[8]
    • If you want to send a flirtatious text, try something like, “Send me a pic of what you’re wearing,” or, “Wish I was there to kiss you goodnight (and more).”

Connect with him emotionally.

  1. A deep emotional connection is super important for Leos. A deep emotional connection is super important for Leos. Without it, they may not see you as relationship material. Try to get to know your Leo man by having deep talks and asking him lots of questions about himself. Make him feel like he can open up to you and trust you by keeping his secrets and never talking badly about him.[9]
    • Leos might take a little while to open up to you. If this is a newer relationship, don’t put any pressure on him, and wait for him to come to you.
7

Play hard to get.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Show that you’re interested, then pull away a little. Show that you’re interested, then pull away a little. Leo men appreciate a bit of a challenge, so not making yourself readily available can make him think about you even more. Be flirtatious, make it clear that you’re interested, then walk away for a bit. Soon enough, you’ll find that he’s running back to you.[10]
    • You can do this over text by waiting a few hours to respond to him.

  1. Leo men are strong, passionate lovers. Leo men are strong, passionate lovers. Try to match his energy in the bedroom, and don’t be afraid to get a little wild with it. Compliment him often on his bedroom performance, and try to be open to trying new things.[11] If you can do that, he’s sure to think about you long after you leave his bed.[12]
    • If you’ve been dating a Leo man for a while, consider switching things up in the bedroom to reignite the spark. Try on a new outfit, go out and buy a new toy, or simply try out a few new positions to get him excited again.
9

Don’t try to make him jealous.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Leo men value loyalty and honestly. Leo men value loyalty and honestly. While it’s fine to play a bit of cat and mouse or push the boundaries of your relationship, he probably won’t appreciate you crossing the line into cheating (or almost cheating) territory. As you work on making him miss you, be sure he’s the only relationship in your life at the moment.[13]

Be a positive, confident person.

  1. Leo men are attracted to people who can light up a room. Leo men are attracted to people who can light up a room. When you’re around your Leo man, maintain a good attitude, and always look on the bright side of things. Make conversation with the people around you, and keep your head held high no matter the circumstances. The more he sees how cool, calm, and collected you are around him, the more he’ll miss you when you’re gone.[14]
    • If you’re not the most confident person in the world, that’s okay! Just pretend like you are—in time, it will become natural.
11

Work toward (and accomplish!) your goals.

  1. Impress your Leo counterpart with your awesome achievements. Impress your Leo counterpart with your awesome achievements. Whether you’re focusing on work, school, or your hobbies, sticking to your goals and seeing them through is really going to impress him (especially since Leo men tend to be very driven themselves). You don’t need to brag about all the things you’ve done, but give him a peek into your life to show off just how great you are.[15]
    • For instance, maybe you could display some of your artwork in your home that won first place in an art show.
    • Or, you could invite him out to dinner to celebrate your promotion at work.

Maintain your independence.

  1. Leo men love someone they can depend upon. Leo men love someone they can depend upon. It’s totally fine to lean on your partner every now and then, but Leos tend to like their own space. As you interact with him, be sure you aren’t rearranging your life for him, and make sure to let him know that you’re busy, too. He’ll probably understand since he’ll most likely have a ton of his own stuff going on.[16]
13

Give him some space if he needs it.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Being clingy is... Being clingy is a surefire way to drive a Leo man away. Try not to bombard your Leo guy with text messages and phone calls, and let him hit you up first from time to time. He’ll appreciate that you let him do his own thing, and he might even miss spending time with you.[17]
    • This is also a great way to show off your independence and maturity.

I want to make him miss me. What are your tips? Laura Bilotta Laura Bilotta Dating Coach & Matchmaker If you really want someone to miss you, the key thing is to not send text after text, or phone call after phone call. Avoid too much contact. You have to let them miss you, and in order for them to miss you, you have to keep a bit of space. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, so keep them a little time on their own, and let them wonder what you are up to. When you do reach out, don’t act desperate! Keep your texts or phone calls brief and to the point. It’s important to carry on maintaining your own life. While you’re with them, don’t give them too much information about yourself. You want to keep them guessing and leave a little mystery.

You won’t have to work too hard to accomplish that. If you want to send subtle hints, you can always text less, be evasive with your plans but honestly, as a couples therapist, it can backfire! It can send signals that you aren’t interested when you are. Be yourself, have fun and if they kiss you while you’re doing that then all shall be good!
