Support his ego. Some believe Leo men are naturally full of themselves and enjoy being the center of attention. Stroking his ego a little, as long as you don't go overboard, can help you support your Leo man. Pay him sincere compliments every day. At social events, let him take the lead if he seems to want to.^{[4]XResearch source} Also, make sure to laugh at his jokes, even the ones that aren't all that funny.
- However, if you go overboard with the compliments and praise, a Leo man's ego may become over the top. Remind of things you sincerely like about him, but avoid hyperbolic language (i.e., "You're the best!") as this could make dating a Leo insufferable.

What should I know about dating a Leo? It's challenging to change a Leo's mind, so you'll often need to defer to what he wants. Leos also love being the center of attention and your crush wants to be the leader in any situation, especially a leader who is adored.
Leo men are unlikely to stay with women who hold them back. Leos tend to pursue challenges easily and always try to see tasks through to their completion. If your Leo is working on a project, give him his space. If you try to get between a Leo and their passions, you're likely to lose.^{[5]XResearch source}

Encourage him to go easy on himself. Leos can sometimes be a little self-depreciating. As they expect a lot from themselves, they sometimes get frustrated if they don't meet their own high expectations. As a Leo man's partner, it's important to remind him he doesn't have to be perfect.
- Stroke his ego a little when he's down on himself, as this will usually help him perk up. Say something like, "Your boss really values you because you're such an intelligent worker. One setback doesn't change that."
4
Keep your jealousy in check. Leos are charming by nature and will attract a lot of women. When out with a Leo, it's not uncommon to see other people hitting on your date. Leos dislike signs of insecurity, so try to keep any jealous in check.^{[6]XResearch source}
- Remember, while Leos are charming, they are also very loyal. If your Leo man has chosen you, he's unlikely to stray.

Remind him you need support. Astrologers believe Leos are sometimes too caught up in themselves. This means your needs can sometimes go neglected. Don't let a Leo's ego get in the way of your needs. Remind him that you need some attention and support as well.^{[7]XResearch source}
- Be upfront with your Leo, as he admires confidence. If you show him you're unafraid to ask that your needs be met, he'll be impressed and likely agree.
- Say something like, "I know you're excited about work, but I could use a little encouragement on my end too."
Leo men are loyal by nature and are attracted to people who can match that. Stay loyal to your Leo by continually supporting him and being there for him.^{[8]XResearch source}

Work on your confidence. Leos don't like to date anyone they can't respect. They like strong, confident, independent people. In the long run, do things to make yourself feel confident and raise your self esteem. This will help you stay intriguing for a Leo man.^{[9]XResearch source}
- Find ways to boost your self esteem like getting involved in hobbies, working out, or developing a skill.
4
Deal with his temper. Astrologers feel Leo is a naturally temperamental sign. It's not okay for someone to take out their anger on you. If a Leo's temper is getting to be a problem, tell him as much immediately. Ask him to work on his anger issues for the sake of your relationship.
- Never stay in a relationship with someone who's unable to keep their anger in check.
