Aries

(March 21st to April 19th)

The Aries man loves his independence, and he also loves to flirt. He runs away when his partner becomes possessive or controlling (the Aries man does NOT like to be controlled). Don’t complain about how he stared at the attractive waitress every time she walked by, and don’t act like you need him 24/7, if you do, he’ll most likely run the other direction.

Taurus

(April 20th to May 21st)

Taurus men are extremely trustworthy, but they aren’t quick to trust others. Becoming too close too soon for a Taurus scares him because he doesn’t feel like he knows who you truly are yet, and whether or not you’re worth it for him. Give a Taurus man time before trying to tie him down. Let him get close to you first.

Gemini

(May 22nd to June 21st)

Unfortunately a Gemini man is very indecisive. He likes to keep his options opened because he wants the best, and he continues to question whether you’re it. He is fueled by thrill and excitement so when you start becoming close he’s afraid being with only one person will become monotonous and boring.

Cancer

(June 21st to July 22nd)

Cancer men are sadly insecure, and they love it when you make the first move, but it’s the moves that come after the first that make him run. The Cancer man becomes scared when you start getting close because he has an overwhelming amount of emotion towards you and he’s worried you might break his heart.

Leo

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

The Leo man is confident and he knows exactly what he wants, which is your attention, time, and energy. His confidence often leads him to believe that he’s the apple of every woman’s eye, which then leads him to becoming a perpetual bachelor. He runs when you attempt to get closer because his greatest fear is settling.

Virgo

(August 23rd to September 22nd)

Virgo men are notorious for wanting to take their time. They need to analyze and dissect every aspect of what you two have going on, and when you try to rush it they haven’t gathered all of the information they need. A Virgo man needs you to be patient.

Libra

(September 23rd to October 22nd)

Libra men are pretty superficial and they’re also very charming. Ironically, their charming personality makes you think they’re a perfect person to have a relationship with, but as soon as you start expressing the desire for anything ‘serious’ the Libra man becomes distant. He doesn’t like to deal with deep emotions and will avoid confrontation at all costs, so when you start getting closer he will slowly begin to move in the opposite direction without much notice or explanation.

Scorpio

(October 23rd to November 22nd)

The Scorpio man is very assertive, and competitive. He will most likely run away when you start getting close because he enjoys a challenge. Unfortunately, games are something the Scorpio man loves to play.

Sagittarius

(November 23rd to December 21st)

Sagittarius men love adventure and live for exploration. They imagine every possibility and want to experience them all. The Sagittarius man doesn’t want to get too close to you because he can’t remain in one place for very long. It takes a while for a Sagittarius man to let someone tie him down, and usually it’s after they’re convinced they’ve experienced every adventure the world has to offer.

Capricorn

(December 22nd to January 20th)

The Capricorn man is relentlessly practical, and his practicality often leads him to expect the worst, especially when it comes to relationships. He runs away when you start getting close because he fears you won’t be as serious as he needs you to be if he were to really let you in.

Aquarius

(January 21st to February 18th)

Aquarius men are allergic to emotions. He runs when you start getting close precisely for that reason, because you’re getting close, and he needs to detach himself as quickly as possible.

Pisces

(February 19th to March 20th)

The Pisces man loves love, but he loves it in a way that is unrealistic. He becomes distant when you get close because he has this idealized image of love that he doesn’t think you fit. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
