When it comes to dating the zodiac signs, there are plenty of things to keep in mind. Every sign has its particular quirks, values, and desires that play a huge role in their relationships\u2014and this is particularly true of signs like Aquarius.<\/p>\n

Aquarius signs have a reputation for being loners, unemotional, and constantly ghosting relationships due to a lack of interest. However, there is more than meets the eye regarding these enigmatic air signs. If you have your eye on one and are hoping to enter into a real relationship with them, there are some things to keep in mind before you decide to embrace the commitment fully.<\/p>\n

1. They can be stubborn.<\/h2>\n

Despite the air sign stereotype of \u201cgoing with the flow,\u201d Aquarius signs have a stubborn streak to them. Labeled as one of the \u201cfixed\u201d mode signs in astrology, when an Aquarius believes in something\u2014or believes they are right about something\u2014they aren\u2019t backing down. This doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t open to other points of view or that they will never change their minds. However, if you\u2019re going to challenge them on anything, you have to have solid reasoning because they won\u2019t be swayed easily.<\/p>\n

2. They can work in extremes.<\/h2>\n

While they may come off as aloof and detached when you first meet them, Aquarians have plenty of emotional depth going on underneath the surface. When they fall for someone, they often feel a constant back and forth in how they approach the relationship. At times they will be enamored with the person and want to dive in, getting to know them on a complex and intimate level, while other times they may pull back significantly to process their emotions on their own. It can feel a bit jarring if you don\u2019t know what to expect. However, if their unpredictable nature is concerning to you, let them know what you need from them in the relationship\u2014they are great problem solvers, and if they are reasonably able to give you what you ask for, they\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n

3. They are loyal and dedicated.<\/h2>\n

Here we go again with the air signs stereotypes, but rest assured that when Aquarius signs are dating you, they are loyal and dedicated. It takes time for them to open up and trust you, but they are all in once they do. While it\u2019s true they don\u2019t like feeling restricted or stuck in a rut, they prefer to alleviate those feelings by exploring new things with their partners. Trust us, if someone who happens to be an Aquarius cheats on you, it\u2019s because they suck\u2014not because they were born sometime in January\/February.<\/p>\n

4. They enjoy mental stimulation as much as anything else.<\/h2>\n

While the physical and emotional aspects often come to the forefront of our minds when we think about dating, Aquarius signs aren\u2019t focused on those things exclusively. Aquarius signs crave a person who can stimulate them mentally\u2014someone who matches their curiosity and desire for knowledge. An Aquarius wants to know your opinions about things or something you\u2019ve learned that has fascinated you. Honestly, their biggest way of flirting will likely be to try and debate you about something because they want to know they are spending time with someone they can have genuine conversations with.<\/p>\n

5. They will challenge you, but playfully.<\/h2>\n

Speaking of debating, don\u2019t be surprised if an Aquarius challenges you about something you\u2019ve said. They aren\u2019t trying to dismiss or mock you\u2014they enjoy going back and forth with someone they care about, playfully teasing them to see what their reaction is. While they aren\u2019t the ones to go past boundaries you\u2019ve set, they will try to push your buttons a bit from time to time. Not much rattles them, and they want you to push back.<\/p>\n

6. Friendship is paramount to them.<\/h2>\n

An Aquarius isn\u2019t just looking for a person to go on dates with\u2014they want to date a person who will also be their best friend. They believe that every good connection starts with a friendship, and they work hard to maintain that aspect in their romantic relationships. If you aren\u2019t willing to be their friend first or continue to build off that foundation, the relationship likely won\u2019t last long. It\u2019s not just their friendship with you that matters, though. Their friendships with others also play a vital role in their lives. They will go out of their way to maintain those connections because they don\u2019t want to lose themselves entirely in a relationship. If you are constantly trying to assert some kind of authority or demanding to be made more important than your closest friends, it will not go over well.<\/p>\n

7. You have to be clear when communicating what you want<\/h2>\n

These signs are big on communication\u2014which means if you want or need something, you have to make it clear. An Aquarius isn\u2019t going to try and read your mind and will take your words at face value. If you aren\u2019t willing to communicate how you\u2019re feeling or what you need out of the relationship, then you\u2019re not going to get anywhere with them.<\/p>
