Aries: March 21st – April 19th

You should stay away from clingy boys. The ones who want to hang out on a daily basis and expect you to text them back five minutes after they send you a message. You need your space. You can’t have them getting all insecure whenever you decide to take an impromptu trip to the beach without inviting them along. You need someone who respects (and admires) your independence.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

You shouldn’t waste your time with preppy people. You’re down to earth, which means you wouldn’t mind grabbing a blanket and sitting out under the stars on a nice night. But if your boyfriend is constantly complaining about the ants climbing through the dirt and the wind messing up his hair, you’re going to be miserable. You need someone who goes with the flow, just like you do. You don’t have time for whining.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

You can’t be with a doormat. If your boyfriend lets you get away with murder, then you’ll push the limits, and end up in an incredibly unhealthy relationship. If you want something that lasts, you need someone who will put you in your place. Someone who will call you out on your bullshit. Someone you respect and would never dream of hurting.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

As much as you love bad boys, you should keep your distance from them. You aren’t going to change them. You aren’t going to be the one to convince them to settle down. They’re going to play the field for years to come, so don’t make it your mission to turn a bad boy into a loving husband. It just isn’t going to happen.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

You shouldn’t be with a natural born leader, because that’s exactly what you are, and you definitely don’t want to date your twin. After all, you’re pretty bossy, and two people giving orders just won’t work. You’d clash. You’d end up hating each other. You need to find someone who knows how to stand up for himself, but also doesn’t mind sitting back and letting you take the lead.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

You should stay away from any boy who tries to sleep with you before he asks you out on a legitimate date. You don’t want to get roped into a one-night stand or a friends with benefits relationship. If you do, then you’re going to get the short end of the stick. If you’re lucky, you’ll get an orgasm out of the deal, but that’s about it. You certainly won’t be leaving with a boyfriend.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

You can’t be with a reckless, irresponsible man. You need someone mature, who will turn down an invitation to the bar if he has work the next morning. You work hard to make money, and you expect your partner to do the same. It wouldn’t be fair for you to bring home all the dough while your boyfriend was out having fun with his friends, without a care in the world. You need someone as responsible as you are.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

You can’t be with a sensitive boy. After all, you occasionally say things that sound a lot harsher than you mean for them to sound. If he takes those little things to heart, then you’re going to end up in a lot of arguments. So save yourself the trouble and find a man with thick skin. Someone who can handle everything you throw at him.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

You can’t be with a man who’s scared of commitment. You’re an impatient person, which means you like for your relationships to move fast–or at least at a steady pace. You don’t have the time to wait for him to come around and realize that you’re the woman he’s meant to be with. He should realize that from the start.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

You should stay away from pseudo intellectuals. The type of guys who spend all day in Starbucks working on their screenplays, even though the texts they send you are littered with grammatical errors. You’re a self-proclaimed genius, so you need someone who can match your intelligence. A fool who masquerades as educated isn’t going to cut it.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

You can’t be with an uptight boy, because you honestly don’t care what other people think about you. You love to get up on stage and sing Karaoke, and you love to go dancing. If your boyfriend is worried about what he looks like during those activities, then you two won’t have any fun. Unless you can bring him out of his shell, you should stay away from boys who prefer business suits to bathing suits.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

You should never date an alcoholic. You love to go out and have fun–but that’s the thing. You can have fun without alcohol. You’re the type of person who needs to date a boy that will double as your best friend. Someone who doesn’t need a drink in order to relax and find a reason to laugh with you. If he needs a beer in order to be interesting, then you don’t need him.
