Play hard to get.

Aries men love a challenge, and a strong-willed Leo can give him one. Be a little unavailable at first, so he puts more effort into scoring that first date with you. Keep your social schedule full, and pace yourself when revealing personal information. Let him know you're interested, but maintain enough mystery that he feels he's won the lottery when you do agree to go out with him.
- End a conversation with, "It was great talking to you! I've actually got to run and meet some friends now."
- Hint that you've got more to say: "That's a long story. I think I'll have to save it for the next time we see each other in person!"
- While Leo women prefer to take the initiative, take a step back, and enjoy getting to know him instead. Your Aries man loves the thrill of the chase and will eagerly pursue you if you let him.

Wear flattering, feminine clothes.

Ruled by Mars (the red planet), an Aries man loves bright shades of red. Entice his fiery personality with form-fitting clothing that emphasizes your femininity. You'll have luck wearing skinny jeans, skirts, and dresses when you spend time with your Aries guy, but anything fresh and youthful that compliments your face will get his attention.
- Try a sweater dress with a matching scarf in cold weather or a fitted sundress on hot days.
- Because Aries is athletic, he'll appreciate a simple pair of yoga pants and a fitted tank top.
- If you don't like red clothing, you can attract your guy by adding smaller pops using makeup or accessories. Apply red lipstick, or wear a necklace with garnet gemstones.

3

Take every opportunity to flirt.

Download Article

Use teasing banter, humor, and physical touch to flirt with Aries. As a Leo lady, flirting comes naturally to you, so use your skills to draw in your Aries man like a moth to a flame. Start with teasing and go from there; flirting builds up the emotional and physical attraction between you. The more you flirt, the more actively he'll pursue you.
- Say, "Stop looking so good in every Instagram pic you post. It's killing me!"
- Text him a song link and write, "This reminds me of you!"
- To flirt using touch, try brushing your hand against his for a moment, touching his shoulder, sitting close enough to him that your thighs brush together, or hugging him.

Charm him with compliments.

Download Article

Aries men love flattery nearly as much as Leo ladies do. An Aries guy may not naturally compliment you as often as you'd like. By flattering him with genuine praise first, you can set the standard in your relationship and feed his fire sign ego at the same time.
- No need to overthink; an Aries man will love compliments about his looks. "You look amazing in that shirt," or "I love how toned your arms and chest are. I find it so attractive!"
- Compliment another of your Aries' positive traits. "You're so enthusiastic about everything you do!" or "You work harder than anyone I know, and it's inspiring."

5

Ask him for help.

Every Aries is a romantic at his core, and he'll enjoy coming to your rescue. As a Leo woman, your need for attention and affection perfectly compliments an Aries man's traditional approach to relationships and his need for some good old-fashioned romance. His protective nature will respond well to being asked for advice and assistance on important topics.
- "This week at work was a little overwhelming. Can we talk about it? I could use a shoulder to lean on right now."
- "I need some advice on dealing with a coworker, and you're great at that. Any thoughts?"

6

Be goal-oriented and driven.

Download Article

Your natural ambition as a Leo will impress an Aries man. Talk to him about your career, hobbies, ideals, and anything else in life that gives you purpose. Show him that you are a goal-oriented person by chatting about your progress and plans. Ultimately, Aries and Leo both want a partner who will help them achieve success and stability in life, making you an ideal match.
- However, Aries might not be as interested in long-term planning, so do not expect them to do so.^{[1]

Answer from Tara Divina:

Aries need space, so give it to them when they need it. They like people who can keep up with them mentally. Be attentive when they explain something and do not ask the same question several times. It will make them feel that you are moving forward together.

Go on adventures together.

Download Article

Your Aries gets bored easily and loves a thrill, so plan exciting dates. Leo's "work hard, play hard" mentality is a perfect match to Aries, so you're sure to have fun together no matter what! Your Aries guy will especially love spontaneous dates that introduce him to something new. Take him to do a sporty activity he's never tried, or bring him to a new and popular restaurant.^{[3]

- Aries men tend to be athletic and enjoy an "active" date, even if it isn't traditionally sporty. Try horseback riding, rollerblading, bowling, mini-golf, or even a scenic walk complete with a gourmet picnic.
- It may take a little time to work up to overnight travel but try proposing a weekend away when you're comfortable. An Aries will jump at the chance for an out-of-town adventure.
- Reader Poll: We asked 338 wikiHow readers, and only 8% of them agreed that the outdoor adventure that sounds the most fun for a date is going boating or fishing. [Take Poll] Instead, opt for a hike or even a camping trip.

Learn to share the spotlight sometimes.

Download Article

You and your Aries both have big egos and dominant personalities. As a Leo, being the leader and initiator in all of your relationships may feel normal—but an Aries man will also want to take the lead. This mutual need doesn't make you incompatible, but it means that sometimes you'll need to control your egos. Look for compromises and allow him to take the lead at times, so he'll do the same for you.
- For example, in a group hangout with your friends, you can take turns telling funny stories and being the center of attention.

10

Show him your natural confidence.

Download Article

Aries men are attracted to women with a strong sense of self. As a naturally confident Leo, you should have no problem showing him what a catch you are. Project confidence in your body language, talk about your accomplishments, and hold your own when you disagree with other people. Leos know they're one of a kind, and an Aries man will find that attitude irresistible.^{[4]

- Confident body language includes keeping your back straight, head held high, and making firm eye contact with everyone.
- Use "I" statements to protect your own opinion. Phrases like "I see what you're saying, but I prefer to do things differently" are firm but not defensive.
- Aries men are attracted to women who stand their ground without getting intimidated by Aries' intensity, and nobody can do that better than a Leo.

11

Give him space.

Free-spirited Aries needs both alone time and time to spend with friends. Although Leos tend to get jealous and demand attention, your own intense dedication to your friendships will help you understand his need for space.^{[5]

- Learn to let him go solo. It's easy to overreact when your boyfriend makes plans without you, but as long as you're still making plans together, too, there's no need to worry.
- Make plans with your friends whenever he does the same. Having a good time with close friends will reduce any feelings of jealousy.
