Your Dating Style Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Find Out Your Dating Style Based on Your Zodiac Sign, and What It Means For Future Relationships

May 4 2021 by Lauren Harano

Crafted in the cosmos, zodiac signs have different dating patterns based on each one's unique characteristics. Astrology is a key part in understanding yourself as well as helping you understand how you handle relationships and what they mean to you. Your ruling planet can tell you everything from the kind of relationships you look for to the signs that you should stay away from romantically — both of which are essential when you're dating around. And while some signs are more passionate and expect more attention from their partners (read: Pisces), others are all about balance, fairness, and communication. Figuring out where you stand can help you to better navigate your love life, and who doesn't want that?

If you're wondering how your astrological sign plays into your relationships — from knowing how you connect with people to understanding how you love — keep reading to learn each sign's dating style.

1. Aries (March 21 to April 19)

The first sign in the zodiac, Aries know what they want and are direct about it. Aries are fuelled by passion and tend to get bored easily, so having a relationship that's fiery, emotional, and heartfelt works best with their ever-changing moods. Since Aries love to be number one, it's important that their partner knows this and treats them as such. Bold and ambitious, every relationship with this sign is sure to be a whirlwind of emotions.

Since Tauruses are known to be reliable, patient, practical, and responsible, they need a relationship that's just as grounded as they are. Having a partner that's dependable and trustworthy is a must, along with someone who they can go to for anything. Additionally, Tauruses love to be surrounded by pleasures and beauty at all times, and having a blossoming relationship can make them feel at peace.

3. Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Geminis are fuelled by curiosity, socialising, intellectualizing, and flitting from one thing to the next. When it comes to relationships, they want something that'll keep them captivated and excited. Since Geminis are curious and interested in many different pursuits, they won't settle down until they've found the perfect partner for them. They can also be outgoing and playful while still being serious and restless, so expect your relationship with a Gemini to be the same.
