Whether they are a steadfast and sensual Taurus or humble Virgo, do you truly know your partner? While many of us want to find our perfect would mate, our personal traits can teach us a lot about what we're looking for in a relationship. Understanding and connecting with different zodiac signs is just as important as knowing your own.

Here's what it's like to date each member of the horoscope! 

Aries: March 21-April 19

A f*ck yes or a mega f*ck no

via Pinterest

By nature, the ram is aggressive and blunt so it comes as no surprise this trait translates into their lovemaking abilities. They don't wait around for anything and will strive to obtain it by whatever means necessary. As hard-assed as they are, we have to give them props. Their stubbornness to remain dedicated to their loved ones is something admirable. An Aries will ensure you remain the top priority in their life. Otherwise, what's the point of dating right? 

The do's: Make sure you're willing to enter a committed relationship with an Aries. An Aries lover is more action than words. Obviously you need alone time, but sending them a quick 'I love you' message or a squeeze goodbye can go a long way. 

The don'ts: Aries have big hearts, and a tendency to wear their hearts on their sleeves. They love passionately. Don't play with an Aries emotions, because that's not cool babe!

Taurus: April 20-May 20

Embracing ALL of the physical pleasures in existence

via Pinterest

The sensual bull is the romantic star sign of the zodiac, in and out of the bedroom. They're ruled by the planet Venus after all, and as an Earth sign, Tauruses enjoy the physical pleasures of the world, from a dreamy atmosphere, a great bed, food, and yes... sex. Believe us when we say that the kind of lover you want to have is a Taurus. Nevertheless, a Taurus craves stability, preferring long, slowly built relationships. When it comes to displays of affection, don't be alarmed when your Taurus partner dives for a surprise kiss attack on your neck. This intensely physical aspect of the Taurus may come as overwhelming to other star signs, so take this into account. 

The do's: Enjoy the passion of the Taurus. They're all old-romantics at heart, despite their blustery attitude. Physical touch and good food is the way into their hearts! 

The don'ts: A Taurus hates being rushed. If you're after flings then look the other way. One must be patient if you want a relationship with a Taurus to last. Avoid arguing with a Taurus. You won't win.

Gemini: May 21-June 21

Where communication is key! 

via Pinterest

If you're after a whirlwind and a force to be reckoned with, the Gemini is such a partner. Ruled by their intellect, Gemini thrives under their planet Mercury: meaning they require constant stimulation, plenty of talk, fresh, new ideas, and surroundings. They need to be kept busy. A Gemini will teach you the importance of mental and oral communication, sharing your thoughts and feelings while valuing boundaries. Everything is laid out on the table for a Gemini. It doesn't have to all be about feelings. It can be whatever's on your mind, from that fave book you're reading to a Tik Tok you found hilarious.

The do's: As mentioned, communicate and always looking for ways to stimulate their minds, and creativity. They love to give artistic gifts. The best kind of gift you can give to a Gemini is going on a whirlwind trip with just the two of you, and planning your own itinerary together. 

The don'ts: Gemini's are known overachievers when it comes to personal projects, and are proud of their results. Never question a Gemini's worth ethic and their ability to get shit done, because they will take you down a notch. (A Gemini speaking from experience)

Cancer: June 21-July 22

They're all about trust!

via Pinterest

We're going deep when we date a Cancer. You can say goodbye to superficiality and false smiles as this water sign has a deep infinity for emotional stability, comfort, and loyalty. Cancers appear to be standoffish, however, they will slowly but surely open their hearts out to you- and they expect the same treatment. Trust is a must for a cancer. We're talking about open communication and loyalty on both ends. It takes a lot for these crabs to come out of their shell. Cancers in a relationship are supportive, and nurturing but they are far from pushovers. The zodiac is also governed by the moon, meaning when it wanes, so does the mood of the cancer!

The do's: Yeah, Cancers are pretty moody and tend to bottle up their feelings. Don't be put off. Usually, there is something that triggers their sudden shift in mood. Acknowledge the root of their problems with patience and fortitude, and you'll be good to go. Nothing excites a Cancer than persistence and fidelity.

The don'ts: Cancers despise feeling criticised. Be mindful of when and how you bring up personal grievances. Cancers have a tendency to get defensive and instantly hide back in their shell.

Leo: July 23-August 22

Be bound in love!

The Leo lover is FIRE. Leos crave passion above anything else, the emotional, physical, all of it. Unlike their fellow fire sign Aries, a Leo's love is a forever burning passion that keeps going. Leos are extravagant, showing off their love to their partner like it's an epic love story- through dates, seduction, and great sex. With the sun as their sign, a Leo is endlessly generous with their love and attention—and expects the same in return. So if you're not ready for a fuel-burning love, you may want to take a step back.  Nevertheless, romancing a Leo teaches you to don’t be afraid to be loud about your love!

The do's: Leos are forever supportive of their partners. Be sure to reciprocate that love and enjoy being spoilt rotten. 

The don'ts: Leos are ambitious creatures, reaching beyond the stars to achieve their goals. When in pursuit of their dreams, they can become aggressive (like an angry cat!). Be sure to give them some space to take a deep breath. Word of warning. Leos are also very stubborn and hate admitting they're wrong. However, don't back down from an argument when you are in the right. They may not admit it at first, but Leos will respect your persistence and consider your viewpoints. They love that fire!

Virgo: August 23-September 22

Give up control honey

The practically perfect Virgo will teach you a thing or three on the realities of love! As an Earth sign, they're all about pragmatically seeing things as a whole and getting from A - Z in the most logical way. They are all for planning and it shows in relationships. As cold and distant as they appear, romancing a Virgo isn't as bland as it seems. They're focused on what they can bring to a relationship and how to make you happy in the long run. Virgos will see details you miss, offering advice to try and improve your life as a whole. If you're getting hitched, you're guaranteed a life of stability, sincere love, and support. 

The do's: Virgos are natural-born leaders and possess a fierce desire to take care of you. They are very much the givers in the relationship. Learn to surrender and let them take the lead. The sooner you do this, the faster you'll appreciate the love and safety a Virgo brings to a relationship. Virgos are also intensely attracted to intelligent wit so don't be afraid to show off your sarcastic humour here and there! 

The don'ts: Despite their intensely analytical talents, they detest criticism. Don't even think about correcting a Virgo's planning system. I.e., don't touch their work desk. They will throw a fit or at least give you the silent treatment all day. It's not fun!

Libra: September 23-October 22

The ones who emphasise on 'Putting US first' 

via Pinterest

Like their namesake, the Libra is all about finding balance and making the two of you of equal standing. As people, they do have a tendency to have their heads up in the clouds. But, as an air sign and aligned with Venus, thoughts of love and everything cutesy is all the Libra thinks about. They are literally a walking romance novel. It’s vital to find someone who puts the relationship first, rather than making you—or themselves—the priority. Libras are all about making things work as a team, rather than seeing people as independent parties. 

The do's: Unlike the Gemini, their love for balance makes the Libra a very codependent lover. So if you're another Libra, you'll make two halves of a whole. Libras are often turned on by elegance and sophistication, so be sure to fix them a nice cocktail before the main event!

The don'ts: Librans hate being alone, and funnily enough, post-coital talk. Nothing's more unsexy than that bland chat after sex to a Libra babe. Give them cuddles or warm forehead kisses.

Scorpio: October 23- November 21

Passion is their middle name

via Pinterest

You won't find a more intense lover than the passionate and forever fierce Scorpio. Like their water alignment, their moods run deep- they can be cool, calm, and collected like a flowing stream then quickly turn into a turbulent raging storm in seconds. However, as they are also ruled by the planet Mars, a Scorpio possesses a fiery component that burns in and out of bed. No shades of grey for a Scorpio- it's go all out or nothing. This will intimidate a soft-spoken Libra. Silly games and uncertainty are not for the Scorpio, so best be prepared!

The do's: Boundaries, open communication, and clear intentions are a must. Nothing turns a Scorpio on than laying the ground-works of your desires on the table. No skirting around the issues. 

The don'ts: Skip the small talk and don't play games. Scorpios have trust issues and they like to go deep. They are ruthless when it comes to building relationships and cutting the toxic sh*t out of their life.

Sagittarius: November 22-December 21

The spontaneous lover. Everything goes!

via Pinterest

As a lover, the Sagittarius is a restless spirit. Romance is about the journey, not the destination... yeah, that kind of lover. As a fire sign, the archer thrives for passion, excitement, and constant activity. They're always searching out new horizons, from a rooftop date in the Bahamas to trying sex toys in the bedroom. They are courageous to experience all that life has to offer. Don't be too put off with their 'live in the moment' lifestyle. The archer teaches you not to worry about where the relationship is going, but to appreciate what you have and to live in the now. Try new things!

The do's: A Sagittarius hates being bored. Take the initiative to plan a whirlwind adventure, or a spontaneous movie or hiking date! 

The don'ts: As a fire sign, a Sagittarius is terrified for their natural spark to go out so don't smother them. They love freedom. Give a Sagittarius breathing room from time to time!

Capricorn: December 22-January 19

They know what they want!

via Pinterest

Strong, sturdy, and dependable, the 'mermaid goat??' approaches life head-on with several backup plans under their belt. This applies to their romantic lives too - they KNOW what they want and they expect to get it. The mermaid will often initiate a discussion about what they're after in a relationship right from the get-go! If your goals aren't aligned, they'll move on. Caps are Earth signs, aligned with the planet Saturn. Unlike a fire sign, they value longevity, consistency, and practicality. So, they're not after a Sagittarius. 

The do's: A Capricorn values a strong work ethic, and considered the mature lover of the zodiac. They can be control freaks at times but they will respect your boundaries if you speak up! They treat you as equals. 

The don'ts: A Cap takes respect and stability very seriously. Don't half-ass your way into a relationship. They are long-term lovers like Tauruses. 

------

Aquarius: January 20-February 18

A being that broadens their horizons! 

via Pinterest

Independent and unique, the Aquarius isn't your lover who'll fit in a box. They're all for pushing boundaries and redefining your horizons. They teach you to become courageous enough to date outside of your 'normal type', and realise you're into different kinds of people. Right off the bat, the aloof water bearer offers mixed signals when it comes to pining for a loved one. The Aquarius is also serious about intellect and often don't care about what people think about them. So that's something to keep an eye out! 

The do's: Get to their level. Water bearers are wild like a horse so give them freedom from time to time. 

The don'ts: Stay away from routines at all costs. Aquarius's are also emotionally detached at times, and they can't stand someone too clingy! 

------

Pisces: February 19-March 20

Romance is their art form

via Pinterest

Find a true romantic in the Pieces! Sensitive, crave deep connection, they're the whole package really! Ruled by Neptune, the planet of imagination and illusion, they have a tendency to get lost in fantasy. If you're after a more mature, steadfast, and practical love, then you may have to look elsewhere. Nevertheless, the Pieces' eternal optimism and love for life is a truly irresistible quality, making them memorable and fun! 

The do's: A Pieces will seek someone with multiple dimensions, and finding connections between the physical and fantastical.  Express your dreams through your creativity, and they'll fall head over heels! Be accepting of their unique emotional landscape. 

The don'ts: A Pieces will not tolerate any form of meanness. Unlike other water signs, a Pisces defense is to run away rather than hide behind a tough warmer. Avoid being too overly critical.
