Why Your Almost Relationship Never Turned Into Something Serious, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Aries: March 21st – April 19th

You came across as too casual. You acted like you were fine with all the flirting, with hooking up without any strings attached. You never opened up your mouth and admitted that you wanted a real relationship. You just assumed he knew.

Taurus: April 20th – May 20th

You were both too timid. You both waited too long. You let someone else come in and snatch him away. And he let someone snatch you away. Now you’re both with people you don’t really want to be with.

Gemini: May 21st – June 20th

Honestly, you were never really sure if a relationship would have worked with him. There were too many issues. You had fun with him for a while, but it’s probably best that it worked out this way. That you two never became an official item.

Cancer: June 21st – July 22nd

You picked the wrong person. You picked someone who told you he wasn’t ready for a relationship from the start. You picked someone you knew would hurt you — but you still believed he would change his mind, that he would turn around and realize he did want to date you.

Leo: July 23rd – August 22nd

You raised your standards and gave up on him. You realized that you deserved more than an almost — even he realized you deserved more than an almost. That you deserved someone who would be there for you, always. No matter what.

Virgo: August 23rd – September 22nd

The timing just wasn’t right. That sounds like a lame excuse, but it’s actually the truth in this case. You fell for each other at the wrong time. Life sucks like that sometimes.

Libra: September 23rd – October 22nd

You two didn’t communicate enough. You didn’t know exactly how he felt and he didn’t know exactly how you felt, so you just sort of drifted apart. You became strangers again.

Scorpio: October 23rd – November 21st

One (or both) of you got scared. Realized how fast things were moving and had to get the hell out of there.

Sagittarius: November 22nd – December 21st

You were attracted to each other for all the wrong reasons. You wanted to be with each other because of looks, not personality. You thought you felt love, but it was mostly lust.

Capricorn: December 22nd – January 19th

You two had enough time to text and flirt — but you didn’t set aside enough time to truly get to know each other. Your days were jammed packed and you didn’t rearrange your schedules to see each other enough.

Aquarius: January 20th – February 18th

You misunderstood the situation. You thought you were in an almost relationship heading toward a real relationship — but they thought you had a FWB situation or something similar. Basically, you fell for a fuckboy.

Pisces: February 19th – March 20th

You didn’t flirt enough. Didn’t make your feelings clear enough. The other person ended up seeing you as more of a friend than a partner. They had no idea how you felt about them.
