If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being ignored by a Leo man, you may be wondering what to do next. You might ask, “Should I wait for Leo man to contact me?” or maybe “What is the no contact rule with Leo man?”
All of these questions are very valid, and if I was being ignored by a Leo, I would certainly want to know the answers as well. Leos are known for their strong personalities, fierce independence, and love of being the center of attention.
However, they can also be really stubborn and prideful, which can sometimes cause them to pull away or ignore those they care about, even if they don’t truly want to. So, if you’re in this situation, it’s important to understand what might be going on and what your best course of action might be.
Here is everything you need to know about being ignored by a Leo man and whether you should wait for them to come back to you or take a different approach.
I Am Very Confused About My Leo Man, He Never Texts First…
First and foremost, it’s important to try to understand why your Leo man might be ignoring you or not reaching out. Leo men are often very confident and self-assured individuals who love to be the center of attention.
They can sometimes get caught up in their own lives and activities, and may not always prioritize responding to messages or making plans. Additionally, Leos can be quite proud and may not want to appear “needy” or desperate, so they may pull away if they feel like they are the one always initiating contact.
When a Leo man never texts first, it can be really confusing and frustrating, but it’s often not a reflection of how they feel about you. It’s more about their own personal hangups and fears of appearing vulnerable. I think a lot of Leo men actually really want to be chased and pursued, but they won’t admit it.
Of course, there is also the chance that your Leo man is simply no longer interested or has moved on. This is always a possibility, but it is definitely not the end of the world either.
So, if your Leo man is ignoring you or not reaching out, try not to take it too personally. Understand that it’s likely more about their own insecurities and pride than anything to do with you.
Should I Wait For My Leo Man To Contact Me?
Now, the big question – should you wait for your Leo man to contact you? My advice would be to give it some time, but don’t wait around forever. Leos can be moody and tend to go through cycles of pulling away and then coming back.
Depending on what is going on in his life and what led to the ignoring in the first place, he may eventually come back around and reach out. However, you also don’t want to put your life on hold waiting for him. This just is simply not fair to you.
My suggestion would be to give it a week or two, maybe even a month, and see if he reaches out. If he doesn’t, then it may be time for you to take a step back and focus on yourself for a while. You could also try reaching out one more time, but don’t be too pushy or desperate sounding.
First give him so sufficient space and time, but don’t wait around forever. At the end of the day, you deserve someone who is excited to talk to you and make plans with you. If your Leo man can’t provide that, then it may be time to move on, no matter how much you care about him.
In the meantime, focus on your own life, your hobbies, your friends and family. Stay busy, stay positive, and don’t let this situation consume you. When the time is right, the Leo man will come back around, but you have to be willing to walk away if he can’t give you what you need.
How Long Can A Leo Man Go Without Talking To You?
One thing I always have to note about a Leo man is his very stubborn nature! When a Leo man is upset, irritated, or simply wants space, he can go for what feels like an eternity without talking to you.
I’ve seen Leos go weeks, even months, without contacting the person they’re upset with. They can definitely hold a grudge, especially when their pride feels wounded.
So, if your Leo man is currently ignoring you, be prepared for it to potentially last a while. A Leo man may need significant time and space to cool off and get over whatever is bothering him, before he feels ready to reach out again.
The good news is, once a Leo man does eventually come back around, he will often do so in a very grand, dramatic fashion. He’ll want to make a big impression and show you that he’s really thought things through.
The tricky part is knowing when to give him that space versus when to try to reach out and reconnect. My advice would be to give it at least a few weeks, maybe a month, before attempting to contact him again.
Use that time to focus on yourself, your own life, and your interests. Don’t sit around pining for him or constantly wondering when he’ll come back. The best cure is to do the things that make you feel happy and fulfilled on your own.
If after that time period he still hasn’t reached out, you may want to consider sending him a casual, non-confrontational message just to check in. But don’t get your hopes up for an immediate response.

So, How Do You Get A Leo Man To Text You First?
If you’re trying to get your Leo man to start texting you first, the key is to give him space and avoid being too “needy” or demanding of his attention. But here are some tips on how to get a Leo man to text you first:
1. Let Him Know You’re Interested
Someone most likely won’t reach out to you if they don’t know you’re interested, right?
Well, at least that’s how Leo’s mind works. Yes, the Leo man is flirtatious and playful, but his biggest fear is rejection, and pursuing someone he feels is outside of his league.
Therefore, if you want to give this bold yet quiet man the courage to reach out to you first, you at least need to give him a hint that you’re interested.
For example, during conversation, offer suggestive comments like: “I would love to talk about this another time.”, “Don’t forget to take my number.”, “It was such a pleasure to meet you.”, “See you soon.”…
By doing this, you let the Leo man know you want him to reach out to you in a way that is subtle but still clear.
2. Make a Move
If your Leo man is not shy and appreciates bold gestures, you should make a move that doesn’t leave any room for question. For example, put your number in his phone and tell him to call you.
Save your number as something that will catch his attention and make him remember you, like, “your future wife.”
3. Be Patient
I know this may be hard for some women, especially if you are an air or fire sign, but if you have made a move to let him know you’re interested, and he still hasn’t reached out or called, it’s still okay, you must be patient.
He may not call you right away.
I’ve found that Leo men actually wait a while to call because they want to make you wait, to make your mind wander and want them more before they contact you.
For some, this may be seen as a mind game or harmless manipulation, but for the Leo man, it’s called the art of dating — a game of cat and mouse.
Even though it can be excruciating waiting for him to call, your patience speaks volumes to the passionate Leo man.
Your willingness to patiently wait for his call tells him that you are a determined woman who values loyalty— something his fire nature cannot resist.
4. Remind Him
If all else fails and the Leo man never calls after you’ve waited patiently, you may need to give him a little reminder. Rather than calling or texting him first, play the long game and wait until you see him again.
It may seem childish, but stop following him on social media, and stop showing up to parties with mutual friends. When you are ready (or feel like it’s been long enough), follow him back again on social media and make an appearance at said parties.
But when you do, pretend that you don’t know him or see him. His large ego won’t be able to withstand the silent rejection and he will be knocking over other men to get to you first.
Rather than saying goodbye or letting him know you are on your way out, just leave. I can almost guarantee you will hear from him in the next day or two!
What To Text A Leo Man To Get His Attention?
When it comes to texting a Leo man, you want to strike the perfect balance of being flirty, confident, and elusive. The Leo man loves a challenge, so don’t make it too easy for him.
Some great text message ideas to grab a Leo man’s attention:
- Send a flattering photo of yourself, but don’t make it too revealing. Something classy and chic.
- Ask him an open-ended question that requires more than a one-word answer, like “How was your day?”
- Share an interesting article or link and ask his opinion on it.
- Tease him a bit by saying something like “I have a secret I can’t wait to tell you…”
- Make plans to meet up, but keep the details vague. The key is to create a sense of mystery and intrigue. The key is to avoid desperate or needy messages. The Leo man needs to feel like pursuing you is a challenge.
- Keep it light and flirty. Perhaps you could say something like “Just wanted to say hi and let you know I’m thinking of you”or “Saw this and thought of you!”
Don’t be afraid to let your Leo man know you’re interested, but don’t make it too easy for him either.
