Be truthful with her.

Download Article

Leo women expect complete honesty, and their trust is hard to win back. Pretending to be someone you’re not will only lead to problems down the road. Be honest with her and let her see the real you! She has no problem with different opinions so long as hers are respected, and she’ll appreciate your honesty and openness.
- For example, if she raves about a movie you didn’t like and then asks for your thoughts, say: “Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of the film. I enjoyed hearing your take on it, though! 😊”
- Another example could be: "To be honest, I made a mistake at work today and I'm feeling pretty upset. Maybe we could talk about it?"
- Even a small lie is a betrayal to Leos. If you lie early on in the relationship and get discovered later, you could be in big trouble.

Text her often.

- When you respond right away, you could add “Amazing timing—I was just thinking about you! 😉” to your message.
