For example, you might rest your hand on his arm or leg as the two of you are chatting. Or put your arm around him as you lean in to say something in a crowd.

You probably didn’t get it because you’re irreplaceable in your current role—you’re really the best at what you do!” Leos are known to be a bit possessive. This can cause issues since you’re not one to be possessed. If he knows you’re loyal, though, he’ll be less likely to act this way.
As an Earth sign, you’re best at planning and organizing. You can take the lead planning a larger project or trip, then hand off the reins to him once things get off the ground.
