Everything You Need To Know About Dating & Loving An Aries

Aries are ruled by the element fire and the planet Mars, so they maintain a passionate, dominant, and sometimes even bossy nature. They are always ready for battle, whether it’s a friendly competition in sports or a promotion at work. This means that Aries are not likely to shy away from a challenge. In fact, they thrive in the face of one.

Playing hard to get is the best way to capture their interest—just be prepared that they may want to keep playing the game. They will chase you to the ends of the Earth, but once you reciprocate, they may start second-guessing themselves. The key to capturing an Aries' entire heart is keeping things fun and interesting. They want to experience it all and need a partner who is willing to jump and go when inspiration strikes. Those who prefer calm evenings at home or a more sedate lifestyle need not apply.

When an Aries really falls for you, the love is truly unmatched and unbridled. Like a fine wine, most Rams get better in relationships with age. Though they may have to travel through many relationships before they find the one who captures the totality of their heart, once they commit they will make it their life’s mission to make their partner happy.

The sign has a great warmth to it. Aries are incredibly giving and warmhearted and have a tendency to believe the best in others, even when all evidence leans to the contrary. They’re fiercely loyal and incredibly giving partners.

When the shadow side is dominating, Aries can be much like the infant who cries in the middle of the night for his bottle, waking his very tired parents. There is not a conscious plan to be selfish but rather an inherent need that takes top priority. They want what they want, when they want it, and can sometimes have little regard for who or what may be in the way.
