Introduce yourself formally and make some comment about how you noticed her, then ask if she’d like to chat rather than just striking up a conversation—it puts the ball in her court to accept the invitation to talk, which she’ll appreciate. After you’ve been together for a while and people are asking how you met, she’ll likely swear that she approached you first—and in her mind, she probably believes it’s true.

For example, if she says she wants to ask you something, you might respond, “You can ask, but whether I’ll answer is a different story. " You can also take the opposite approach. Say she says, “I have a question. " You can respond, “And I have an answer. " When she asks her question, respond with something ridiculous and unrelated, such as “Ducks. " A Leo lady is a child at heart—she’ll swoon if you offer to race her to the corner or push her on the swings at the playground.

Stay away from the basic compliments she’s probably heard a million times before—that’s no way to stand out from the crowd and get her attention. Does she have beautiful eyes? You’re probably not the first person to notice. Compliment their expressiveness or depth rather than their color. She loves to feel the impact she has on others, so mentioning that gives your compliment more power for a Leo. For example, you might say, “You did so well on that presentation! Everyone there was clearly hanging on your every word. I never saw a single person check their phone the whole time you were up. "

For example, take a sports coat if you know you’re going to a nice restaurant for dinner or a fancy club for drinks. When in doubt, ask her to go shopping with you. Lionesses love playing stylist and it’ll appease her possessive tendencies to have a hand in dressing you.

If she’s not really the rugged type, you can always go for more “civilized” adventures that don’t involve getting your shoes muddy. Ax throwing, anyone?

For example, suppose the two of you disagreed on what time a TV show was airing. You thought it started at 6 p. m. but she swore it was 7 p. m. After you check the listings, you might say, “Okay, you were right. It does start at 7. Good thing I found out early—now we have time to get dinner first. " If she understands how committed to the truth you are, she’ll appreciate this admission even more. She knows you’re not telling her that she’s right just to get on her good side.

When you’re out together, switch your ringer to silent and put your phone in your pocket. She’ll see this gesture and understand that it means you won’t let anything distract you while you’re with her.

For example, you might surprise her with a small, inexpensive piece of jewelry that just happens to match her favorite dress. Watch her closely whenever you’re out together in shops and watch what she gravitates towards. You might also check her social media for clues—she might post about things she likes or wants and you can start a list.

For example, you might take her to a sporting event and make sure your message is displayed on the Jumbotron during the event. She’ll be overcome with adoration. If you’re out at a bar or club, go over and ask the DJ or band playing if you can dedicate a song to her. She’ll swoon when she hears them play her special song.

Sagittarius guys aren’t known for wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Just remember that actions do speak louder than words. What you’re less inclined to say, you’re more than capable of showing in the way you treat her and how you act. Sagittarians tend to need a lot of freedom and space. Leo ladies tend to be clingy, but if she understands that you’re loyal and trustworthy, she’ll back down.

For example, if you’re frustrated that she’s so dependent on compliments and adoration from others, you might talk instead about helping her find value within.
