Aquariuses have high standards, but anyone with the right drive can meet them.
You Will Need
* Creativity
* Knowledge of art and music
* Good social skills
Step 1: Plan a memorable first date
Plan a memorable first date. Aquariuses don’t like the burden of making plans themselves, so they’ll be impressed with a person who comes up with a creative date idea, especially if it’s something that appeals to their intellect.
TIP: Aquariuses are interested in the arts, so planning a date around the debut of a promising new artist or a night of experimental theater is a good start.
Step 2: Lean to the left
Lean to the left. Aquariuses are humanitarians who feel great compassion for the less fortunate.
Step 3: Keep up with current events
Keep up with current events. If you know who Britney Spears is, but can’t name the current President of France, you don’t stand a chance with an Aquarius.
Step 4: Join a book club
Join a book club and familiarize yourself with the _New York Times_’ bestseller list. Aquariuses pride themselves on being well-read.
Step 5: Treat with respect
Always treat an Aquarius with respect; they want to be valued for their mind (though they also expect lavish appreciation of their body).
Step 6: Allow them privacy
Allow them their space and privacy. It’s the only way to one day be invited to join their club.
The trick to winning a Gemini’s heart is to be the yin to their yang.
You Will Need
* Good conversation skills
* Intelligence
* Liberal political views
Step 1: Be coy
Be coy when you first meet a Gemini you like. They enjoy a little mystery, and become bored by those they can win over too easily.
Step 2: Invite them on a mystery date
Geminis love to be surprised, so tell them that all they need to know about the date is what to wear, and you’ll take care of the rest.
Tip : Geminis tend to be brainiacs, so you can’t go wrong with a date that appeals to the intellect, like a lecture, a book reading, or a political rally.
Step 3: Sharpen your conversational skills
Sharpen your conversational skills by boning up on current events for your date; Geminis are curious and articulate.
Step 4: Ask their opinion
Ask for their opinions. The only thing Geminis love more than hearing themselves talk is spouting opinions and giving advice.
Step 5: Be tolerant
Be tolerant – of both your Gemini love interest and others. Geminis lean toward the left and won’t tolerate narrow-mindedness in a lover.
Step 6: Stay flexible
Stay flexible. Geminis are free spirits who chafe under restrictions and schedules. Don’t freak if they’re late, or it will be the last time they’ll agree to meet you at all.
Fact : Famous Geminis include Angelina Jolie, Kanye West, Johnny Depp, and John F. Kennedy. And the guy who sings “Chocolate Rain.”
It’s easy enough to reel in a Sagittarius, but it’s nearly impossible to keep one faithful.
You Will Need
* The ability to listen
* A love of the outdoors
* A non-possessive nature
Step 1: Be a good audience
Be a good audience. Sagittariuses love to talk, so they are naturally attracted to people who are willing to shut up and listen.
Step 2: Love the outdoors
Love the outdoors—or at least pretend to. A Sagittarius’s idea of a romantic date is an afternoon outside watching the clouds, not a night at the opera.
Step 3: Keep them entertained
Keep a Sagittarius entertained by keeping your own life interesting enough to share. People born under this sign hate to be bored.
TIP: If your Sagittarius is flirting with someone else (and, really, when are they not?), grit your teeth and ignore it. Flirting is like breathing to them, and showing your annoyance will only alienate them.
Step 4: Give them space
Give them space—lots of it. You don’t want to back a Sagittarius into a corner any more than you do a wild animal.
Step 5: Indulge their vanity
Indulge their vanity. Sagittariuses are narcissists, and will not take offense at a gift of Botox. On the contrary, they’ll be delighted.
Step 6: Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you wish for. A Sagittarius can be dragged to the altar, and might even find the strength to remain faithful. But they’ll never let your forget what a chore and a bore it is.
The Aries man or woman can be tough to figure out, but we’re going to tell you how to push all the right buttons.
You Will Need
* A love of athletics
* A go-with-the-flow attitude
* A thick skin
Step 1: Challenge them
Instead of asking an Aries out to dinner or a movie for your first date, challenge them to a tennis match, a ski race, or a basketball game. Aries are athletic and love to be physically active.
Step 2: Be creative
Be creative when it comes to gifts. An Aries doesn’t care how much you spend on a present, so long as it’s something original and exciting, like a treasure hunt you’ve set up for them.
TIP: Aries tend to be spendthrifts, so an Aries partner has to take the reins when it comes to finances.
Step 3: Go with the flow
Go with the flow. Aries are impulsive, energetic, and fearless, so they like a partner who can keep up with them, whether they’re jumping out of a plane or getting frisky in a public place.
Step 4: Romance them
Romance them. Though brash and headstrong, Aries are also extremely sentimental. Preserving a memento from a special date and presenting it at a later time will make them melt.
Step 5: Avoid routine
Avoid routine. Aries are easily bored, so take pains to make sure your relationship stays fresh – especially in bed.
Step 6: Develop a thick skin
Develop a thick skin. Aries are extremely opinionated, have a fiery temper, and are not known for their tact. But if you learn not to take their occasional outbursts personally, you’ll be rewarded with a relationship that is rarely boring.
