Flirting 101 with the Signs
Impetuous. You are easily infatuated, then may lose interest if you get bored. If someone sparks your interest, your “rapid response” can get you involved too quickly when caution could be the better approach.
Direct and bold. You make your interest or intentions known, and are rarely subtle or shy about it. You can risk rejection, and recover from a rebuff. You’ll flirt fearlessly and make overtures overtly.
Challenging. You present a challenge, acting coy or cocky or “hard-to-get”. And you like a challenging conquest too. You may engage in sports or a game of chance to attract the attention of one you desire.
Competitive. You love to be chased, to elude, then let yourself be caught. Flirting is a game, and you play to win.
Ardent. You seem passionate, and love to be “swept away” with desire. You can be enthusiastic and energetic, and seem “full of fire” to one you desire.
Independent. You seem self-reliant, and you appreciate self-assurance in those you choose to flirt with. A wimp wouldn’t win your warmth and affection.
“The good provider.” You show you can offer both material things and sensual comforts. You may try to modestly show off your possessions or purchasing power.
Easygoing. You seem “easy to be with”, calm, comfortable, and soothing; and you like to share “quiet times” and everyday activities such as shopping and cooking and dining.
Touchable. You look cuddly and huggable; and are physically responsive. You seem “safe” and “approachable” and send out “good vibes”. You show affection through physical contact. You can be a “huggy bear”.
Hedonistic. You love all sensual pleasures, such as food, drink, art, music, perfumes, fondling, or sex; and you show it and want to share it.
Nature-loving. You appreciate nature, plants, animals,rocks, sand, sunsets, woods, fields, streams, lakes, and oceans; and like to share nature walks, camping, campfire gatherings, gardening, being with animals, outdoor cooking, or just sitting outdoors.
Honest. You seem sincere, truthful, forthright, uncomplicated, and dependable; and show you can be relied on. You are also very loyal to those you care for.
Sweet-talker. You have a way with words. You’re very good at flirting and teasing, and can charm or cajole anyone with that “silver tongue”. You might also be tempted to be devious and “speak with forked tongue” (as the Native American Indians used to say). You are adept at adapting your style to suit the seduction.
Witty. When interested, you can turn into a quick-witted and clever conversationalist, and you love witty banter and the inviting innuendo. Double meanings and puns are the tricks of your trade when in “flirt mode”. You are perceptive of details and notice the response you are getting, so you can swiftly switch style to sustain interest.
Raconteur. You can relate endless stories about people or events or experiences to arouse the interest of one you desire.
Writer. You like to write notes, poems, or long letters to the object of your desire. You may even send love notes by fax, or a romantic email greeting card. Internet chat rooms may also suit your style of flirting with written communcations.
Phone-mate. You love long romantic phone calls, or Internet meeting-by-modem (and may even enjoy “phone sex”).
Reader. You love to share or give books, and to discuss books or ideas. You could shamelessly flirt in a book store or library or lecture hall.
Caring. You seem to want to know and understand the feelings or fears of the one you would flirt with. (If you are male, you come across as “a sensitive guy”.) You offer emotional support or a shoulder to cry on, and might become the confidante or confessor for the one you desire. The Cancer style is subtle, and to flirt does not mean overt.
Nurturing. You care for one’s comfort and cater to one’s emotional needs. Call it the “care bear” strategy. Cuddling and coddling is part of the care bear mating ritual. Feeding is a form of nurturing, and offering food is a form of flirtation for Venus in Cancer. An invitation to a home-cooked dinner may set the scene for seduction. Even the suggestion to split a pizza may mean more than a passing interest.
Mothering. Fussing over the object of your affections is an indication of interest. You may act like a mother (or father) to the one you would entice – not necessarily a “romantic” role, but one that can successfully seduce that certain someone. You pamper the one you desire and cater to their comfort (and might unconsciously call them “baby” more often than you or they are noticing).
Protective. You make one feel safe from harm or emotional hurts. The more of your affection they attract, the more protective you will act.
Secure. You seem to offer a safe haven, a secure future, or a home base (and you might even mention that you are a home-owner or talk about your house). You seem like someone who could make one feel “at home”, secure in the knowledge that they “belong” somewhere and are cared for. An invitation into your home is an invitation to romance.
Rooted. You value “family” and family traditions, and you value the past. Interest in someone’s family means interest in them, so flirting may involve family pictures, family facts, or family history. You might offer help in finding one’s roots or lost relatives. An invitation to meet YOUR family is not a flirtation, but a courtship.
Dramatic. You seem somewhat flamboyant; act with flair; and you make grand gestures. (Maybe “melodramatic” is a better word.) When interested in someone, you may find yourself unconsciously tossing or teasing your hair, which can be a real attention-getter.
Romantic. You send flowers or candy or champagne or roving musicians, or quote poetry. Cyrano de Bergerac had a big nose but, like Roxanne, you like his style. You love to stage sweet surprises for the object of your affection.
Regal. You have an aristocratic air and a noble bearing; and sometimes seem “glorious”. You may act haughty or hard-to-please. You expect to be respected, and will act worthy of respect with one you desire.
Generous. You give gifts and freely dispense favours and treats. You may act magnanimous or benevolent with those you favor. A single rose is not your style – three dozen does it better.
Warm. You act affectionate and friendly; and make your admirer feel worthy of your attention. Touching and stroking is a tell-tale which indicates interest from Leo the Lion. (Licking and pawing should be stifled until you are sure it will be appreciated.)
Entertaining. You show some kind of talent or artistic flair; and seek attention, applause, and appreciation for your performance. You act like an actor (or a “ham”).
Pure. You seem “proper” and polite and conservative and clean, even “virginal”. You may come across as “reserved” – as holding back your emotions, and also as keeping your affections “reserved” for the proper partner.
Attentive to details. You note one’s preferences and cater to their needs and desires. You “notice” little things about the one you desire, and may mention them. You may try to help “organize” or help out the one who attracts you, and this is a way of “flirting” for you. When you give a little gift, you try to make it appropriate to what you think the person needs, or is interested in, or would be “useful” to them.
Clever. You seem witty, logical, analytical, and perceptive. You act as a good listener, and engage in intelligent conversation.
Discriminating. You show taste, class, and good manners. You see what needs “fixing” in one you desire, and may unconsciously brush lint from their clothing or fix their tie or hair or “fuss” over them. If not careful, you’re too critical of one you care for (but it’s a sign you are interested).
Adaptable. You seem willing to compromise or change in order to improve a relationship, or to attract the one you desire.
Indispensable. You become so helpful and useful to the one you desire, that they end up depending on you. (Like the private secretary who eventually seduces her boss.)
Romantic. You seem sweet or sensitive or tender or tantalizing or teasing. Talking about romantic movies or novels or other people’s love lives may be a way of flirting for you. Doing things that seem “romantic” indicates serious interest.
Pleasing. You act gracious, charming, cute, considerate, or tasteful. You adapt your style to attract the one you desire, and may genuinely aim to please. Acting especially “nice” is a sign of serious flirtation.
Partner-oriented. You could flirt by offering to be “partners” in some activity. You like being “a couple” and spending time “one-on-one” rather than in a group gathering, so a suggestion to slip away from a group and be alone together is a sign of serious interest.
Attentive. You love to hear the person you are interested in talk of events or feelings or ideas, and you act like you are really “paying attention” to them. Asking questions about what someone said may be a way of flirting with them. You can flirt by just listening to someone with rapt interest.
Understanding. You make someone feel only they really understand you. Or you make them feel only you really understand them. You come across as being interested in what the person has to say and understanding how they feel about things.
Intimate. You prefer to be alone with one you desire, and you seem to concentrate on that person when you are with them. You may show or say that you “really like being with” someone you desire. You may find yourself unconsciously doing little things that are “intimate” with somone you are interested in, such as touching an arm or adjusting their clothing or stroking their hair.
Intense. You seem intently focused on the object of your desire. You appear primal, sultry, brooding, or “dark” – and perhaps a little “dangerous”. (I don’t know if you could say Venus in Scorpio “flirts” at all; for it often seems a subtle “seduction” is taking place that makes the first step of flirting seem superfluous.)
Smouldering. You seem to have passions ready to flame or to erupt – like a glowing ember which when fanned can flare into a fire of desire.
Sexual. You seem to act more “sexy” when in flirt mode, and may exude an enticing “animal magnetism” that subtly seduces the one you desire.
Mesmerizing. A look in your eyes can mesmerize. The object of your attention is drawn in by the mystery behind the eyes. One could lose oneself in their depths. You might be told you possess “bedroom eyes”.
Probing. You seem to stare into one’s soul, to sense one’s secrets. You tend to make the object of your attentions feel vulnerable somehow. You may ask probing questions about things other people would not venture to inquire about. Being the instigator of a Scorpio inquisition indicates some serious interest in the guy or gal being grilled.
Powerful. You seem strong – a sorceror, a saviour …or a slave master. A subtle sense of hidden power could attract a certain someone like a flame attracts certain flying insects.
Expansive. You show an appetite for variety, new ideas, and new experiences. “Excessive” might be a better word, for you can over-do things a bit – or a lot. You may find yourself “embellishing” or exaggerating to inspire more interest in you. You may be thinking a little “hype” would help.
Adventurous. You seem willing to explore new experiences and new places. Foreign countries, foreign food, flying, or horseback riding may suddenly seem so interesting. A motorcycle ride may seem so appropos.
Care-free. You appear to be free of restrictions; and will give a partner “space” and freedom. In flirt mode you may act more like a “free spirit” than usual, or seem more optimistic and enthusiastic. (You might also act a little “clutzy” or clumsy.)
Companionable. You want to pal around with your flirting partner, to be “friends first”. Your naturally friendly style may be mistaken for serious interest and attract unwanted wanna-be’s.
Philosophical or humorous. You play the part of philosopher or clown. You may laugh a lot, or make someone laugh. (If you find yourself making bad jokes, you are probably in flirt mode.)
Spiritual. You seek to share your spiritual path or be a guide. Or you act as a “seeker” or student to one who can teach or inspire you.
Reputable. You try to impress the one you desire with your reputation, position, job title, career, social standing, or wealth. You appear “respectable” yourself, and act “respectful” of the one you desire.
Responsible. You attract the one you desire by being reliable, solid, and supportive. You may offer to take over some of their “responsibilities” for them so that they come to depend on your support.
Mature. You appear self-disciplined, competent, and “in control”. You may act like a “parent figure” to a less mature person – or appear to appreciate the “maturity” of one you desire.
Material. You show you can offer attractive practical or material benefits – such as financial support and security, a good home, and the finer things in life.
Committed. You seem very willing to make commitments, such as to a friendship or long-term relationship; or seem to be “marriage-minded”. You act like one who “plays for keeps” and will be forever faithful.
Reserved. You appear aloof and intriguingly inscrutable; or look like “a loner”. You may attract one who is afraid of emotions; or a more “feeling” person who wants to break through the emotional barrier you have erected.
Original. You seem delightfully different, surprising, or inventive. Perhaps a little “quirky”. If you find yourself acting a little odd, or saying things meant to shake up or shock someone a little, you may be in flirt mode.
Unconventional. You seem open-minded or unorthodox, and you set your own style. When flirting, you may act a little “out of character” or “off the wall” or even “outrageous”. Flirting may involve demonstrating how you can “dare to be different” from others and not conform to peer pressure or social conventions; such as acting a little crazy sometimes, or wearing unusual clothing. You might act “rebellious” or get talking about “rebelling” against something with a co-conspirator you are interested in – or about “reforming” things with their help.
Individualistic. You set your own rules in how you relate to people, and respect that someone else has his or her own way of relating too. You might encourage the one you desire to “just be yourself” and show that you appreciate the ways they express their individuality.
Free-spirited. You need your own “space” and you seem willing to let someone have theirs. In fact, the more you want them, the more you may act like they are free to leave. You may find yourself flaunting the “rules” of decorum in an attempt to get attention from one you would flirt with. You may act like a “free spirit” and encourage someone who interests you to “just do your own thing”; or show you appreciate what they are already doing that is out of the ordinary.
Visionary. You seem like a “visionary” who sees future trends, and may invite someone you desire to join you in working at changing the world somehow. Talking about your vision may be a way of flirting with the object of your affections.
Coolly detached. You may appear aloof or unemotional, or perhaps intellectual. It seems an odd way to “flirt”, but it can be attractive to those who are curious, or who are not comfortable with overly-emotional people, or who want you to show your feelings more. Someone always wants to melt the “Ice Princess” or get “Cool Hand Luke” to show his feelings; so your “detached” air could be intriguing to someone you are interested in. If your basic nature is NOT to be cool and detached, but passionate (Sun in Aries or Sagittarius) or emotional (Sun in Pisces)… you may paradoxically act less warm and more cool when in the presence of a person whose affections you would entice.
Mysterious. You seem intriguing, elusive, even enigmatic. Your air of mystery might invite an attractive someone to be seduced into a secret affair.
Sweet and Demure. You seem sensitive and vulnerable, or coy, or shy. Your sweetness is seductive and your demure demeanor is disarming. If you are female, an alluring femininity may flower and passively but powerfully attract the object of your affection.
Surreal. You offer intriguing illusions or an escape from reality, possibly in a romantic fantasy world that invites the one you desire to depart the drudgery of daily life. Perfumes or colognes, glamorous clothes, or creative cosmetics might add to your alluring air.
Soulful. You seem able to share deep feelings, or a higher consciousness. You seem a safe harbour for one’s soul. You seem like someone who could connect on a soul level. You might show a “soulful” look in your eyes as you glance at the one you would flirt with.
Self-sacrificing. You offer to serve some needs of the one you desire, putting them first and yourself last, even something as simple as offering your seat on the bus, or giving of your time to help someone with something. You may tend to lose your self-identity when you identify yourself too strongly with the object of your affections. (Beware that your willingness to make sacrifices might set you up as an unwitting victim. It is sweet to sacrifice your self-interest, but self-destructive to sacrifice your self-respect.)
Spiritual. You may seem like a spiritual guide to someone; or you may see your salvation in the one you desire.
