You try to crack jokes and tease them — but you accidentally end up insulting them.

Taurus

You stare at them in order to show interest and hope they get the hint — but accidentally end up making them self-conscious instead.

Gemini

You send mixed signals — and accidentally make them think you aren’t serious about wanting to date them.

Cancer

You help them out with favors and run errands for them — and you accidentally trick them into thinking of you as only a friend.

You make sarcastic, slightly mean comments — and accidentally make them think you hate them.

Libra

You focus on emotional intimacy over physical intimacy — and accidentally make them think you see them as a brother/sister.

Scorpio

You try to play hard to get by waiting a while to text back — but you accidentally end up chasing them away because they assume you aren’t interested.

You like all of their social media posts but never strike up conversations — and it accidentally looks like you’re only interested in their physical appearance.
