How Do Leos Typically React to Messages from Strangers

Leos often appreciate genuine compliments and respectful approach. They may respond positively if they find your message sincere and polite. However, their reaction can vary based on their personal boundaries and mood. It is important to be respectful and considerate when reaching out to Leos or any sign.

So I saw this girl at a wedding recently and I was instantly attracted to her. I asked the bride about her which is why I knew her name. I messaged her on social media and told her that I found her interesting. I'm not sure if she is into women too though, but I made the message as polite, light & sincere as possible. She didn't reply unfortunately. I'm just thinking how do Leos react to messages from strangers? Do you find it rude/offensive?

I have no way of knowing. FB messenger doesn't show if it's been viewed if the message is from a person you're not friends with. 😢

Leos aren't big on faceless/impersonal contact. In my experience they ignore messages/emails from people they don't already know or haven't met in person.

A lot of people find that rude and snobbish, but it is what it is.

Maybe if you sent her something like........

🤣🤣🤣 shock her into responding

If you sent it on Facebook she may not even know you did it. I don't get any type of indicator if ramdom people send me a msg. Just depends on their settings.

Easy way to tell is to try and delete the message. If it delete all together it was never even delivered to her inbox and was filtered. If it gives you a pop-up message but still allows you to delete that means it's been delivered but not viewed. If it's been viewed it won't even let you delete it

Just go poke the friend request button already, lol. It's been nearly 45 minutes. I'm not going to answer that question so you go and tinker for another fifteen and get to waste even more time

I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face, do not rely on texting/messaging when dealing with a Leo. Texts/Messages are just too impersonal to take seriously. Leos respond best to real communication, it shows courage and a healthy self esteem. FB messenger is not reliable because messages from strangers can land in other folders (for example "Requests"). Usually even if a person is a stranger, you can see if they've read the message when a small icon of their profile pic appears near the message.

Leo's love attention but it can't be too intense or serious. Unless you know for sure if she's into women I'd pass if I were you. The only way I'd pursue it would be to use the bride to get more information about her ie gay, straight, bi and see if the bride is willing to do an introduction between the 2 of you. Maybe have the bride contact her to pass along your number and FB contact information .

I’ve gotten phone call requests and messages in messenger that I was months late on and didn’t even know that I had received them.

Try Instagram maybe? At least you would be able to tell that they saw it.
