Dating by the stars
ARIES
Aries likes: A man with a plan, someone who’s got lots of hobbies, a great group of friends and who is exciting to be with.
Aries needs: Someone to help them see things as they are, and not make a massive drama out of every little thing.
Aries should stop: Mistaking lust for love. It will end in tears every time.
TAURUS
Taurus likes: Being pampered and adored (but don’t we all), and also loves being with someone who’s not afraid to try new things.
Taurus needs: An experienced sexual partner who knows which buttons to press – and then some.
Taurus should stop: Being jealous and demanding – men find these traits are massively off-putting.
GEMINI
Gemini likes: People who are smart, friendly and fun to be around, and this is especially true of their dates.
Gemini needs: A man who is self-assured, independent and comfortable with Gemini’s flightiness.
Gemini should stop: Jumping to conclusions, which are, inevitably, wrong. Just let it flow.
CANCER
Cancer likes: Affectionate, tactile mates who enjoy public displays of affection – and lots of them!
Cancer needs: A balanced and forgiving man who can tolerate their fluctuating moods and sensitivities.
Cancer should stop: Over-sharing. It’s sometimes best to keep your inner most feelings to yourself.
LEO
Leo likes: Being praised and appreciated – especially when it comes from someone who they respect and admire.
Leo needs: To be treated like a Princess, nice meals, regular treats and undying love and affection.
Leo should stop: Being so self-centred and realise that relationships are a two-way street.
VIRGO
Virgo likes: A date with impeccable personal grooming, perfect table manners – and willingness to experiment.
Virgo needs: To follow their gut instincts when it comes to matters of the heart.
Virgo should stop: Finding fault in people, and focus on the positive instead of seeing the negative in life.
LIBRA
Libra likes: A down-to-earth guy who’s as much at home in thongs and board shorts as he is in a smart dinner suit.
Libra needs: Honesty and reliability in a mate – it can help balance out their tendency to daydream.
Libra should stop: Dating only one ‘type’ – they are missing out on meeting a great match by being so picky.
SCORPIO
Scorpio likes: Confident men who have a well-developed sense of their own identity – and who like to tackle life head-on.
Scorpio needs: A bright and warm companion who is sensitive to their ups and downs, and know how to make her smile.
Scorpio should stop: Freaking guys out with their full-on approach to dating – taking things slowly is the key to long-lasting love.
SAGITTARIUS
Sagittarius likes: A man who appreciates her need for personal space, and who encourages separateness as well as togetherness.
Sagittarius needs: A relationship that defies the traditional definitions and expectations – and guy who’s cool with taking things day by day.
Sagittarius should stop: Pushing their partner away by appearing too busy, aloof or otherwise occupied.
CAPRICORN
Capricorn likes: Living life to the max with a man who’s her equal intellectually, emotionally and sexually.
Capricorn needs: A date who can bring an element of fun and spontaneity to an otherwise ordered life.
Capricorn should stop: Being so pessimistic and stubborn. Take a chance, take a risk and reap the romantic rewards.
AQUARIUS
Aquarius likes: Sharing good conversation with a like-minded mate, who makes them feel valued and appreciated.
Aquarius needs: Someone who understands their quirks and idiosyncrasies – and loves them all the more for them.
Aquarius should stop: Being such a scaredy cat. Lower those defensive barriers and let some love in.
PISCES
Pisces likes: A date who accepts their dreaminess and tendency to float through life without much of a plan.
Pisces needs: To be listened to and supported, especially when she’s feeling insecure or low.
Pisces should stop: Making her mate something he is not by daydreaming him into some sort of super-man.
