Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Gemini

Gemini likes to be impressed, so show off your knowledge of a subject you're passionate about. The typical Gemini tends to know a little about everything, so conversation will likely ensue. Just make sure you know what you're talking about. Gemini doesn't appreciate a faker.

Be candid and honest, for that's what Gemini is after, but beware of appearing smug and try not to come off as too conservative. Both are turnoffs for the sensitive Gemini. And don't worry if you disagree. A good exchange is a good exchange, and Gemini recognizes this.

Though intellectual conversation is appreciated, Gemini also likes to engage in gossip, especially if there's an element of humor in it. Focus on making him or her laugh, not on being malicious, and you'll have a captive audience.

Remember that Gemini is looking for an aura of mutual trust. Don't give him or her a reason to mistrust you, and don't approach a Gemini with a suspicious attitude. Trust is important to this sun sign, so make sure you respect that.

If you're looking for a gift for a Gemini, try books, puzzles, or anything that stimulates the mind. Flowers and such could be wasted on this more intellectual astrological sign.

Sun Signs and Love: The Gemini Man

Vivacious, quick-witted, and filled with a lust for life, the Gemini male draws women (or men, possibly) to him with practiced ease. His charm, generosity, and fertile imagination make a date with him exciting and oftentimes romantic. Though many women are drawn to him, few will stay in his life for longer than a night or two. He's notoriously hard to pin down, and trying will only drive him away all the faster.

He might come off as a womanizer, but he's really anything but. The Gemini man really and truly loves women and he pays attention to what they have to say. This is a great part of his success in the romance department. But, like most Gemini, he needs fun and excitement in his life. He'll flee any relationship that doesn't give him the fun he needs. Because all relationships have their lulls, and he tends to be impatient, he does have a tendency to run away from a relationship that would ultimately have made him happy. Such is the nature of Gemini.

But that isn't the only reason he tends to run off without much notice. He's a little uncomfortable with love as an emotion (though as an action...well, sign him up!), so a woman who takes love too seriously is a turn off for him. Though they are initially attracted to women with a flare for the dramatic, mostly because these women appear more fun on the surface, he usually loses interest before too long.

And yet, he is not a true womanizer. The reason he runs from one female to the next is because he really is searching for a woman to spend the rest of his life with. Remember that Gemini is the sign of the twins, so he's truly searching for his spiritual and romantic twin. He knows she's out there. He just hasn't found her yet. When he does, he will never leave her side.

In bed he is imaginative, confident, and has a great deal of flair, but his lover may get the impression that he is not fully committed. His attention may wander, even in the throes of great sex, but this is simply a part of his nature. It doesn't mean he's straying. It usually means he's thinking of something exciting and fun to do next.

A fascinating person, the true Gemini man tends to flit through life and romance with hardly a care. Still, even those he rejects love him, for he is a joy to know. Even if you only know him for a short time.

Sun Signs and Love: The Gemini Woman

A Gemini woman is full of contradictions. She is passionate lover one moment, a careful friend the next. She needs to be coddled, but she also needs to exert her independence. Her love affairs tend to be of a more casual nature, but she is fiercely loyal when she does finally commit. One moment she will be seated next to a roaring fire, enjoying the peace, and the next she'll be running around in search of novel stimulation and excitement. It can be hard to keep up, harder still to figure her out.

She finds most men (or women, depending on her preference) dull, but this merely means she has a fine appreciation for a more interesting companion. If you want to attract her, you'll have to work at it. Don't expect her to stay around otherwise. Gemini, in fact, is a contrary sign, so the Gemini woman will flee as soon as the relationship becomes stale. She'll leave with no second thoughts. This sign excels at moving on.

Because Gemini is capricious and changeable, is she not easily satisfied. To keep her content and present, her companion will have to work to satisfy her on all levels--emotionally, mentally, and sexually. This is a tall order, especially when she seeks great variety in her life.  If you can give her what she needs, she will be a faithful and devoted companion. If you can't, she'll flee and never look back.

All of this might make her sound high maintenance, and she is, but a Gemini is always worth the effort. She is a quick learner and is blessed with endless curiosity, which means she's willing to try just about anything once. She'll go skydiving, train for a marathon, or try something new in the bedroom all because she's never done it before. She loves excitement, so if you do too you might do well with a Gemini woman.

If you are going to try a relationship with a Gemini woman, don't take what she says at face value. There's always another motive behind her words, even if she doesn't realize it at the time. She's not deceitful, just...contrary.

Beneath it all lies a woman who is solid and faithful to the man (or woman) who finally captures her heart. She gives endlessly of herself to the right man, but she demands everything in return. Expect her to be possessive and even jealous when the situation calls for it, but only because she expects her love to be returned wholeheartedly.

The true Gemini woman is intelligent, exciting, vibrant, tempestuous, and incredibly witty. She is a lot to handle for most, but just enough for the right man.

Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Taurus

You cannot rush a Taurus, so if you're hoping to attract this practical sign on a romantic level, be prepared to wait. They will not rush headlong into a new relationship, romantic or otherwise, but instead take the time to build a strong foundation before committing. This 'building' will take time and often requires patience, but Taurus will appreciate you all the more for waiting.

Taurus is often slow to make up his or her mind. Because of this, the first move may be entirely up to you. If you wait, if you simply sit around waiting for Taurus to take the lead, you may end up missing the opportunity entirely. Don't be afraid to pursue Taurus, but be prepared to do so slowly.

To keep a Taurus interested show him or her that you like to be around them. Don't blow them off, especially in the beginning of the relationship, or Taurus will quickly dismiss you as unreliable and move on to someone new. When you are with Taurus, try to be amusing, for Taurus responds best to those who can make them laugh. Remember that anyone born under the sun sign Taurus will have a broad and robust sense of humor. Physical jokes are most likely to make them laugh, but they respond to most types of humor. Take a risk and try to be funny if you want to keep Taurus interested.

The Taurus man, like the Taurus woman, enjoys a good meal. Feed either gender well by either cooking at home or dining at a decent restaurant. Don't expect Taurus to be satisfied with a fast food joint. They'll expect a place where the chef knows what he's doing and the wine list offers a decent selection. If you decide to cook for Taurus, show that you can handle yourself in the kitchen and don't hold back on the portions.

Taurus typically finds many things fascinating, so it shouldn't be hard to hold a conversation. But if you find the conversation lagging, try talking about money. Most individuals born under this sign can talk about money and finances for hours, so at least there will be conversation. And while Taurus loves to hear from others, make sure you don't monopolize the conversation. Taurus likes to share as well, so give them that opportunity.

Finally, it's important to offer compliments to the true Taurus, but they must be genuine. Taurus can see through falsehood with ease and they do not appreciate it. So praise their hair, jewelry, or clothing, by all means, but make sure the words coming out of your mouth are full of honesty.

A relationship with the patient Taurus is typically stable and steady. Though they are perhaps not the most inventive of people, they are always there for those they love and their love runs deep. Once a Taurus is committed, it takes a great deal of strive to drive him or her away, so a relationship with Taurus can last a lifetime.
