6. He goes out of his way to touch you

Leo men are big on physical affection. A light touch on your hand or shoulder can mean the difference between friendly and flirty, so pay attention.

If he’s making an effort to touch you, that’s a likely sign that he’s crushing on you. Here are some ways he might touch you:

• He touches you in conversation during funny or impactful moments.
• He stands close enough to you to brush up against you or press into you.
• He rests his hand(s) somewhere on your body. Perhaps your legs, your shoulders, your lower back, or your own hands. He might do this for just a moment or let his hand linger.
• He offers to give you a massage.
• He initiates wresting or some kind of physical playfighting with you
• He starts giving you a lot of hugs or cradles your body in some way.

Any physical contact like what’s listed above is a strong sign that your Leo man is into you. These guys won’t touch a woman that they dislike and tend to avoid physically escalating a friendship for fear of giving off the wrong impression.

If you’re curious, touch him and see his response. If he reciprocates or flinches, that’s a sign that you have an effect on him.

Leo men are fiery and prone to jealousy. They’re often possessive of their partners and want to receive the bulk of their affectionate energy.
