Libra: working a crowd vs. prioritizing your partner

By

Aries

(March 21-April 19)

How You Flirt: You tend to come across very overconfident and a bit full of yourself. You are also quite the show off when you flirt. Your goal is to not only make your crush notice you, but also to be completely in awe of you.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: You much more calm. Yes, you will always be your confident and passionate self, but in a relationship you won’t be so fixated on showing off. Instead, you will find happiness in your partner and take pride in the bonds that you have formed.

Taurus

(April 20-May 20)

How You Flirt: Your flirting style is very subdued. For you, flirting usually means chatting for hours over a cup of coffee or on a walk. It takes a while for someone to earn your trust so one-on-one time is paramount to your flirtatious interactions.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: You are more open, adventurous, and daring. In a relationship, you let yourself open up a bit more. You become more comfortable with your partner and allow them to understand your inner thoughts and emotions.

Gemini

(May 21-June 20)

How You Flirt: You tend to flirt first in a group setting. You are amazing at feeding off the different energies in the group and then somehow also directing flirty comments to your crush.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: You are just as vibrant and full of life in a relationship as you are single. However, in a relationship, you focus more on your partner. You still thrive in a group, but you always have your partner in mind.

Cancer

(June 21-July 22)

How You Flirt: Your flirting style is based on words of affirmation. Your crush will know you like them because you will be so caring and considerate right from the start.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: Your relationship behavior will not really differ from your flirting techniques. However, in a relationship, you will also act as an incredibly nurturing and comforting presence. The care and compassion you feel towards your partner will also put your personal vulnerabilities and insecurities at ease.

Leo

(July 23-August 24)

How You Flirt: You attract your crush by initiating creative and interesting conversations. Maybe it’s a heated debate or a lively chat. Whatever it may be, you flirt by impressing others with your knowledge and witty comebacks.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: While you still keep your witty comeback arsenal locked and loaded, your partner is usually up for the debate. What’s best is when your partner enjoys spearheading a lively conversation. Together, you dazzle a room while also initiating an interesting discussion.

Virgo

(August 23-September 22)

How You Flirt: You flirt by carefully and systematically getting to know your crush. You don’t just act on a whim. Instead, you develop a connection and eventually let the friendship become a relationship. While it takes you a while to open up, you flirt by communicating your feelings and intentions (when you are ready of course).

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: With the steady love and support of your partner, you will start to open up and flourish. Your partner will help ease your worries and provide emotional security when you need it. In a relationship, you will also learn how to express yourself and understand the emotions of your partner.

Libra

(September 23-October 22)

How You Flirt: You flirt by simply charming those around you. You know how to compliment your crush while also making yourself appear praise-worthy. Your powers are so strong that some nights you flirt with multiple people at once. You thrive in large social groups and know how to work a crowd.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: While you are still a fan of large social outings, you also love spending time with your partner. It can be hard for you to divide up your attention, but in a relationship you are firmly fixed on your partner. Your entourage will always be waiting, but there will be many nights when you choose your partner instead.

Scorpio

(October 23-November 21)

How You Flirt: Your flirting style mainly includes sarcasm, teasing, and jokes. You flirt with others by putting them down or calling them out. While some signs may take offense to your antics, other signs will be allured and charmed by your confidence and mysterious exterior.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: You will still have your snarky moments, but for the most part you will actually ease off on the sarcasm and teasing (not completely though!). Instead, you will focus your energy on loving and caring for your partner.

Sagittarius

(November 22-December 21)

How You Flirt: You flirt best when you can either make a joke about somebody else or about yourself. You use humor almost constantly when you flirt, which allows your exchanges to be light hearted and playful.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: You will always make your partner laugh, but a relationship will teach you about maturity and commitment. In the past it has been easier to make jokes to protect yourself, but in a relationship you will be able to settle down and open up.

Capricorn

(December 22-January 19)

How You Flirt: You are very direct and to the point. If you like someone, they will know. You don’t like to play games and instead you prefer honesty and communication.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: You will still be direct and expressive, however in a relationship you will also develop a softness and fondness for your partner.

Aquarius

(January 20-February 18)

How You Flirt: You flirt with your bright mind and your creative initiatives. You draw people in by suggesting fun and new ideas to try. You also charm others with your intellect and your passions. Your crushes are blown away by your intelligence and determination to chase down your dreams.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: You help your partner realize their dreams and inspire them to try new things. At the same time, your partner also helps keep you grounded. Your intellect alone is a terrifyingly beautiful thing, but in a relationship your partner helps you find the line between thoughtful intelligence and wise-ass remarks.

Pisces

(February 19-March 20)

How You Flirt: Your flirting style is whimsical, dreamlike, and effortless. You impress everyone you meet as they are blown away by your deep connection with the things around you. You have a profound appreciation for life, which allows you to live expressively.

How You Act In An Actual Relationship: The mindfulness and respect you have for life will also be apparent in your relationship. While you are not afraid to be vulnerable, sometimes your partner will have trouble opening up. In a relationship, you will help your partner understand their emotions and learn how to be vulnerable.
