Aries
(March 21st to April 19th)
A boyfriend who only makes your life more exciting, instead of making you feel like he’s holding you back. A boyfriend who takes a spontaneous road trip with you on a random Wednesday, who will call in sick to work in order to play hooky around the city with you, and who will share a life with you that’s centered around growth, adventure, and exploration.
Taurus
(April 20th to May 21st)
A boyfriend who finally brings you the sense of warmth and peace that you could never find in any other guy. A boyfriend who leaves you love notes on the mirror for no reason, who always fulfills his promises and does what he says he’s going to do, and who makes you feel like the only girl in the room every time he looks at you.
Gemini
(May 22nd to June 21st)
A boyfriend who can read you and understand you like no one else has ever been able to do before. A boyfriend who will keep you entertained in social situations that you’re required to be at, who understands that sometimes you’re going to have great days and sometimes you’re going to have bad days, and who never makes you feel like you have to be anyone but yourself around him.
Cancer
(June 22nd to July 22nd)
A boyfriend who loves how in touch you are with your own emotions and who never makes you try to be someone you’re not. A boyfriend who writes you loving and handwritten cards, who picks up your coffee and makes the bed and does whatever little things he can to make you feel taken care of, and who isn’t embarrassed to be upfront with you about how strong his feelings are for you.
Leo
(July 23rd to August 22nd)
A boyfriend who finally feels like an equal match for you. A boyfriend who is just as enthusiastic as you are about pursuing passions, who isn’t afraid to match your fast pace and foster a relationship where you two challenge each other every day, and who loves learning and experiencing new concepts, ideas, hobbies, and adventures with you.
Virgo
(August 23rd to September 22nd)
A boyfriend who takes away the constant anxiety you feel about dating. A boyfriend who hates playing games and isn’t afraid to tell you how he feels, who stays up with you until four in the morning just to talk and feel connected, and who always knows the right thing to say in order to put you at ease and make you feel comforted.
Libra
(September 23rd to October 22nd)
A boyfriend who never wants to change your life, only wants to blend himself into it. A boyfriend who never tries to infringe upon your friendships, who fits in seamlessly with all of your loved ones, and who makes you actually work for his attention for once, instead of falling instantly for your charm like everybody else.
Scorpio
(October 23rd to November 22nd)
A boyfriend who makes life feel constantly new and thrilling with him. A boyfriend who will take a class with you in something that’s completely foreign to you both, who is inspired by you but not intimidated by you, and who will be the first one to support you and encourage you 1000% each time you take on a new challenge.
Sagittarius
(November 23rd to December 21st)
A boyfriend who makes you feel loved and accepted for every side of you. A boyfriend who enjoys little things with you (like shared morning coffee or a walk in the snow), who constantly laughs with you no matter how hard things get, and who adores your sense of optimism but loves you just as much on the bad days.
Capricorn
(December 22nd to January 20th)
A boyfriend who brings a softness to your life without ever trying to change your ambition or focus. A boyfriend who always provides you with a much-needed sense of lightness and joy after a long work day, who reminds you of the importance of self-care and patience without ever trivializing the importance of your career goals and dreams, and who will love you the same – whether you’ve experienced a huge success or a huge failure.
Aquarius
(January 21st to February 18th)
A boyfriend who makes you feel totally vulnerable (in a good way) and totally safe at the same time. A boyfriend who you trust so much that you’re actually willing to let down your walls for once, who cares about the causes and missions you care about (even if they’re not his passions) because he knows they’re important to you, and who never asks you to change for him – only that you make space for him to love you in your world.
Pisces
(February 19th to March 20th)
A boyfriend who actually makes you feel excited about life and all its possibilities. A boyfriend who has a strong desire to learn about your world view while also being willing to share his own, who never tries to force his ideas on you but is always there to listen and be a sounding board when you ask for it, and who believes in you so much that he challenges you to make things happen instead of only looking at them as dreams.
