Aries: March 21st – April 19th

Your crush is blunt, and hates when people beat around the bush to get to their point. That’s why you should ask them out. Your straightforwardness will be a total turn-on. But instead of politely asking them if they want to meet up later, flirtatiously tell them that you’re going to meet them at the movies at eight. Be blunt and bold.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

Your crush is stubborn, which is why they might not text you first. But, deep down, they’re actually pretty sappy. That’s why you should send them an I-miss-you text. Even though it’s only three little words, they carry a lot of meaning. You’ll either get an I-miss-you-too text back or an empty response. It’ll tell you whether or not your crush is actually worth your time.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

Ask them how they are, but be specific. Instead of asking them how work has been, ask them a question about the project they told you they were working on. Instead of asking a general question about school, ask them about a particular class they mentioned they were taking. Show them that you give a damn about their life.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

Your crush doesn’t want a one-night stand. They don’t want a FWB. They want a real relationship. That’s why you can take a risk by saying something like, “I can’t stop thinking about you.” Let them know that they haven’t left your mind. Your sappiness will pay off.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

Leos like attention, so tell them that you saw something that reminded you of them. It doesn’t matter if it was a movie trailer, a certain candy, or a pair of shoes. They’ll find it sweet that you thought of them.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

Your crush loves giving their opinion, so ask them if they’ve seen the latest episode of a show that you both watch. Then trade theories about what’s going to happen next week. Bond over your television obsessions.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

Your crush can be shy, so make sure you have a topic prepared. The worst thing you could do is ask them what’s up and expect them to take the lead. Start by telling them they’ll never believe what happened to you and jump right into a story. It’ll put them at ease.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

Be flirtatious. Tell them that you loved the shirt they were wearing yesterday or that they looked hot in the Instagram photo they just uploaded. There’s no need to be shy when you’re around a Scorpio. It’s better to speak your mind and spill as many compliments as you can.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

Most of the time, it’s a bad idea to send someone a text that just says, “hey.” But your crush is smart. They’ll realize that the greeting holds a deeper meaning. They’ll understand that the only reason you texted them was because you missed them like crazy. So you can keep it simple.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

Ask your crush a question. What was the homework? Did our boss post our schedules yet? Do you have our professor’s email? Capricorns like to feel smart. Like to feel needed. That’s why asking questions is your best bet.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

Instead of writing out a sentimental message, snap a picture and send it to them. They’re artistic and appreciate beauty, so they’ll be happy to receive a photo of the sunset you saw on your drive home from work or a picture of your new haircut.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

Send them an inside joke. Don’t have any yet? Then just mention a memory that you shared to remind them how much fun you are to be around. Act like the story just popped into your head and tell them that it made you laugh aloud.
