But, I would stay out of the drama and let this Leo come to you for interaction...especially if there is a sense of a little interest on your part. Keep your self-respect.

On the other hand,

Leos love the attention but will also play flirtatious games. This is usually mostly all in fun...the sunny, playful side of Leos we all love; however, if it's at someone's expense, not so good.

And yeah, we play games. So sue us! We're fifth-house people, which means we are being truest to our sun-nature when we explore fifth house things--creativity, romance, children, fun, play, and true love. The games are not meanspirited (like Scorpio games sometimes feel to me)...a Leo just likes a bit of back and forth hunting/chasing/emotional foreplay/buildup before getting too interested.

Leos adore being adored, and are great at getting you to keep on adoring them. But, we want everyone to worship at our glorious golden altar (that makes us sound snotty, but we lavish affection, loyalty and generosity on others right back.) BUT having a Leo flirt with you or want you to be their biggest fan doesn't mean much...we have a whole different standard for people we see as romantic equals and are genuinely interested in.

I want the Lion to be acting so shy with you because he has a big crush, but unfortunately, there could be other reasons. You are looking for signs that he's into you, and I hope he is!!! But based on my own bitter personal experience, although with a Scorpio/Pisces Moon which is soo not like a Leo, I have changed my belief that signals like the ones you're describing are always a sign of attraction. When you're sixteen, they always are (or maybe I'm wrong about that too), but if you're both adults, those vague-y signals sometimes mean that he feels uncomfortable for some unfathomable reason (maybe from picking up your crush)...and if he wanted to hook up with you, he very likely would have made a move. I hope this isn't one of those cases, and that you two will get together.

Here are a few surefire ways to attract Leos:
-Even if we're shy, we don't want to be made "comfortable"--we want to be thrilled, dazzled, and awed by you
-Leos are attracted to hard-to-get prizes. The fact that they like to have doting worshippers often confuses people, but Leos never actually fall in love with our fan base (I'm kidding. Sort of.) You have to walk the fine line between adoring the Leo, but seeming very very picky, high-status and hard-to-get. The Leo's ideal romance would be someone who has a choice between eighty of the world's most gorgeous billionaires, Nobel laureates and movie stars--and she rejects all of them and chooses him!
-the best way to seem both high-status and adoring is to have every other man in a 100-mile radius be madly in love with you, and be kind to them but clearly not too interested...that way you can be warm, friendly, even doting with the Leo, but he won't think you're too desperate
-we like to feel that the person we're with is a wonderful prize, the best of the best, and that they think that of us too

If you want to avoid game-playing, you can take a direct approach with the Leo and ask him out.

I have to say that I disagree that we'll always protect our own ego. I, personally, have laid my ego on the line and gotten my heart broken. Love and ego ARE interconnected for many Leos, but we'll ultimately put fifth house concerns first (true love, romance, children, creativity, fun, art, theater, play.)

The last one was -
Sun Leo 8.45
Ascendant Libra 22.15
Moon Sagittarius 3.46
Venus Leo 1.35

We liked each other, but like the other Leos, it was a fiery, obsessed (on his side, I blame the sun/moon and venus/moon conjuncts & mars/pluto opposition) beginning that fizzled.

I found with each man that they need constant attention and hate being alone and not adored, which means you have to give that energy. Something not native to most Taurus.

Also, in the same area, Taurus tend to be too nice and accommodating. Leo likes a difficult, demanding woman - usually you'll find a Leo has been put through the ringer with a difficult Aries woman (and secretly loved every minute). So, to attract him, you have to be a combination of things that may force you to 'put on', and that's not healthy.

Just be yourself, he wants you alright, but you have to decide if you're ready for the challenge of taking him on, and possibility it will be for a short period.
