How the signs express affection
Aries
Buys you something loud, shiny, and slightly impractical, then stares at you while you open it like it’s a timed challenge. Also starts a fight just to make up afterward.
Taurus
Feeds you, fixes your lamp, and silently replaces your shampoo with the correct kind. Says “you know I love you, right?” once a year and expects it to hold.
Gemini
Floods your phone with links, voice notes, and one oddly profound 3 a.m. monologue. Asks 14 questions in a row but forgets to wait for an answer.
Cancer
Offers you the better half of everything—blanket, bagel, childhood trauma. Hovers while you eat to make sure you’re emotionally absorbing the moment.
Leo
Declares you their favorite person on earth in the first week, introduces you accordingly, and expects a standing ovation for choosing you. Absolutely thrives on PDA, even if it’s just a well-timed wink.
Virgo
Fixes things you didn’t know were broken. Follows up on your to-do list like it’s a group project. Remembers that thing you said in passing and mails it to your house three months later.
Libra
Curates a shared aesthetic before you’ve even met their friends. Will text you “thinking of you 🩷” while actively overthinking everything you said in 2019.
Scorpio
Acts chill while secretly memorizing your birth time, search history, and favorite snack combo. Will not say “I love you,” but will give you a toothbrush and a drawer.
Sagittarius
Wants to take you on a three-week road trip to “really talk.” Asks deep questions with zero warning, then suggests karaoke like that didn’t just happen.
Capricorn
Does your taxes, edits your résumé, and says “I’m proud of you” like it’s the highest form of intimacy. Has your best traits in a spreadsheet that you’ll never see.
Aquarius
Sends you articles on emotional attachment like it’s flirting. Refers to you as “my favorite person, probably” and thinks that counts as vulnerability.
Pisces
Creates an entire romantic subplot in their head before you've replied to the first text. Expresses affection through a cryptic mix of handmade art, vague longing, and disappearing for a week.
