Aries Star Sign Compatibility Chart For Dating

Star Sign Romantic Connections

Aries people need partners that help them keep their inner fire under control. This aggressive, impulsive personality grates at some people and enlivens others. The Ram delights in physical activity and is a passionate lover, but Aries’ selfish tendencies can often interfere with romantic prospects. Love is a give-and-take proposition, and much to Aries’ dismay, life isn’t always all about them. When there’s a dispute, Aries people like to clear the air. Their tempers can go off with the force of an atomic bomb, but once they’ve made their point, they forgive and forget with ease. Sometimes it’s hard to pin Aries people down long enough to make them listen to what you have to say. Even when they’re sitting still they will shake their legs or twiddle their thumbs. They’re always on the move, and they change hobbies and interests as often as they change their clothing. Their unpredictability is sometimes enough to make you want to pull your hair out! But there is one thing about them that you can depend on: life with an Aries person is never, ever dull or boring.

ARIES WITH ARIES
This couple must strive to stay focused on their priorities so they don’t start so many activities that it becomes impossible to follow through on any one of them. Also, because Aries likes to be the focus of attention, it will be a constant struggle for two of them to be considerate to one another. Each of the people in this pair must realize that romance requires all of us to be concerned with someone else besides ourselves. Give-and-take isn’t easy for Aries to achieve, but if they exercise maturity and are willing to work on the relationship, this pair can be successful. Around the house, it will be important for them to look to professionals (like accountants and housekeepers) when it comes to tending to details. Sexually, there will be a struggle for dominance, and this can be fun as long as both partners are willing to take turns being the one on top.

ARIES WITH TAURUS
This relationship could turn into a rather explosive power struggle if the partners don’t take a long time to understand one another’s needs. Aries will get very frustrated by the amount of time it takes Taurus to make a decision; Taurus will feel rushed by Aries’ need to stay in perpetual motion (especially when it’s much safer to stand still). To make this work, Aries needs to understand that Taurus will accept change – but only slowly, and only when Taurus sees a direct benefit in it. Taurus has to realize that Aries needs variety and lots of excitement to stay interested in the relationship. While Taurus responds to gifts like flowers, candy and back rubs, Aries likes to feel needed – especially in the physical sense. Taurus loves Aries’ creative approach to bedroom gymnastics, but to keep things even, Taurus will have to do a few cartwheels, too – preferably at the most surprising moments- to keep Aries’ attention.

ARIES WITH GEMINI
Motion and commotion will keep this easy-going relationship strong. Aries is a self-starter that wants to be the first one to try out new experiences, sometimes before they’re fully thought out. Gemini is a great thinker – so great, in fact, that it’s hard to get Gemini to DO something. Sounds potentially simpático, no? It could be. If this couple finds creative ways to spend lots of time together, they’ll have a solid union that’s based on a respectful friendship. Their possible pitfall is in having so much to do as individuals that they have to struggle to pencil one another into their respective schedules. Sexually, this relationship can be exciting as long as both people strive to provide both mental and physical stimulation. Gemini is into verbal foreplay, while Aries is very much a “Let’s Do It – NOW” kind of partner. If they can be aware of each another’s turn-ons, this pair has what it takes to hang in there for the long haul.

ARIES WITH CANCER
Both of these people are self-starters, and they tend to see household tasks like budgeting and decorating the same way. Both make quick decisions and need a lot of variety to keep the relationship interesting. Both also must be careful to consider the other’s sensibilities, though. If Aries can remember to tone down any aggressive, brusque talk, Cancer might not crab and complain so much (and avoid rousing Aries’ legendary temper). Although it might not seem like it at first glance, this couple could easily form a lasting relationship. Sexually, Cancer’s nurturing instinct is the ultimate turn-on for Aries’ “What about me?” attitude, while Aries’ childlike excitement and enthusiasm will make Cancer feel needed and loved. And with so much impulse combined into one partnership, ample portions of “kiss and make up” time could fill up their long, love-filled nights.

ARIES WITH LEO
Aries and Leo have a lot in common, in fact they might have so many of the same goals and desires that they find it hard to share – especially when it comes to the spotlight. Both of these fire sign people need plenty of attention, so although they will form a winning friendship, Aries and Leo will also compete in an endless battle for importance. Another problem could be the two signs’ different rates of decision-making. Aries moves too quickly while Leo moves too slowly. Aries will find it easier to get Leo to move on something if the change can be made to seem like it’s Leo’s idea. If the two are more mature (say, over 30), the relationship has a much better chance of working out. Sexually, this is a very exciting and fun-filled combination. They should keep a fire extinguisher on the night table!

ARIES WITH VIRGO
It’s hard for Aries and Virgo to see eye-to-eye. To Aries, action is the solution to most problems, while to Virgo everything must be analyzed and processed as much as humanly possible. Aries is likely to find Virgo excessively critical, while Virgo will think Aries is too impulsive. Despite these differences, Aries and Virgo can still fall in love. When they do, they each need to accept that the other can help them heal some of their all-too-human flaws. In romance, Aries will win Virgo with more conventional ways of courting a partner, while Virgo will have to be open to having a “wild” experience now and then to catch Aries’ eye. Virgo will happily take on Aries as a little project, and Aries will revel in Virgo’s pampering. Sexually, Virgo wants Aries to be more refined and Aries needs Virgo to be more spontaneous. If both are willing to go the extra mile, this combination could turn out to be a successful experiment in human evolution.

ARIES WITH LIBRA
This is the ultimate “Mars loves Venus” relationship. Aries needs Libra to supply a calming and soothing effect, while Libra needs Aries to put some raw energy into the idea of romance. These two opposing signs make the perfect long-term match because they complement one another so well. They bring out the best in each other while also giving one another character traits that round out their personalities. Also, when it comes to the little decisions that need to be made over the course of a lifetime, Aries and Libra see things the same way. They both like a lot of variety and they both thrive on making changes. In bed together, this couple can create electric energy. To keep the hearts and flowers flowing, Aries needs to remember that Libra needs words of praise, while Libra must show affection for Aries through sexual passion.

ARIES WITH SCORPIO
This match is exceedingly passionate, but probably not the easiest one to sustain over the long-term. Aries accomplishes goals through an innocent brand of drive and ambition, while Scorpio is less overt about showing aggression. Everything goes smoothly as long as the two are working together, but when this couple fights, things can get ugly. Scorpio might not seem phased by Aries’ shows of temper, but later, when Aries least expects it, Scorpio will strike. This relationship can easily become an emotional tug-of-war unless the two partners are very clear about the way they feel about one another and what they do as individuals. In bed, the struggle for supremacy continues. Both will use sex as a way to manipulate the other, but if the two partners can keep the competition friendly, the mutually exciting contest in seduction can lead to great heights of sexual pleasure.

ARIES WITH SAGITTARIUS
This couple, should they decide to live together, shouldn’t keep too much glass around the house! Although they get along like the best of friends, neither of them is known for being delicate or patient. Just like the fragile objects that can be shattered when they’re exposed to the brusqueness of both these signs, so can the feelings of these two partners be fractured by mutual lack of consideration. As long as they can sustain the foundation of their friendship – a mutual desire to explore new horizons – they will be very happy. There can be explosive fights between these two, but at least most of the conflict will be out in the open. Both partners need lots of space and friends outside the relationship. The most striking positive in this partnership is the sex – the intense fire they conjure up will keep warm feelings flowing between them for a long time.

ARIES WITH CAPRICORN
This can be a good combination as long as the pair can each identify their partner’s strengths and allow their mate to do what they do best. Capricorn brings discipline and order to Aries’ impulsive desire to drive on to the next big thing. Aries gives Capricorn new ideas and inspiration that makes life worth working hard for. If there is mutual respect between the people involved in this relationship, an ideal mixture of inspiration and organization can result. This means that Aries has to let Capricorn deal with the business aspects of the relationship while Capricorn has to relinquish control over the relationship long enough to listen to Aries’ new ideas. Both of these people are ambitious self-starters. As long as neither of them spends too much time at work or on outside projects, they can have a very happy and passionate relationship. Capricorn will surprise Aries with an appetite for sex that rivals Aries’ zest for sensual stimulation.

ARIES WITH AQUARIUS
Aries has to work hard to gain Aquarius’ respect. If there is a lot of exchange between the two partners, the relationship can work, but if both remain set in their ways, there could be a lot of fighting. Aries is dedicated to individual achievement, while Aquarius likes to be focused on the collective experience. Aries could grow impatient with Aquarius’ fixation on ideas, while Aquarius might find Aries’ desire for attention to be childish and selfish. The two can meet quite happily in bed, though. They both have a lot of energy and will enjoy spending many hours in competition. In this game, no matter who outlasts the other- they both win!

ARIES WITH PISCES
Although these two will have to work very hard at this relationship, it can turn out to be very rewarding. Aries’ way of taking the direct route to goals and aspirations will help Pisces stop being so timid. In turn, Pisces soft and gentle way of approaching life will help Aries to develop tact and decorum. The difficulties in this relationship could come from Aries’ ability to make Pisces curl up into the fetal position with one harsh word, or from Pisces’ unwillingness to make a move at crucial moments. Luckily for both these signs, they’re very forgiving, so they can easily make up for any of this little spats by reconciling in the bedroom. Their sex life will be exciting, especially if Pisces can persuade Aries to look at what lies deep within the sexual experience.

How To Write Personal Ads and Personals

Put together a description that will attract your type

Writing personal ads should be considered an art in its own right. For decades personal ads have appeared in magazines and newspapers all over the world, and for decades people have struggled to describe themselves in 25 words or less. It is difficult, impossible really, to fully sum up one's essence in just a few lines, including likes, dislikes, interests and goals. These days the top quality dating sites offer more sophisticated personal ads, which are usually called profiles. Unlike the older personal ads in newspapers, modern profiles are detailed and in-depth and often help the user to build his or her description by taking a test or answering a series of questions. Even though describing yourself to a virtual stranger will always be difficult, making a free profile and getting yourself in the dating scene can be done if you follow our advice.

If you want to get the best of your personal ads membership, try to present the right image and get people to interact with you by chatting daily, make note of these 10 personal ad tips:

  1. An obvious one - complete your personal ad profile fully. And accurately! There is nothing worse for a browsing member than spending their quality time opening your profile only to find your profile is full of Ask Me statements. So ... Be informative, be complete, be thorough, be interesting.
  2. Add a photograph or two or even four! Amazingly, members with photos in their personal ads are likely to get up to 9 times more replies than members without any photo image attached to their profile. Okay, so even if we aren't all photogenic models, any photo is far better than none at all.
  3. Don't be aggressive or rude in personal ads. It may be your sense of humor to be sarcastic or cutting, but it doesn't always come across best in anonymous text. Biting humor in the first instance will not usually attract the desired attention, even if it's meant to be amusing. That comes once you are chatting face to face.
  4. You may have had a bad experience with a previous partner, but making a list of specific criteria a future partner must meet usually has the effect of making people look elsewhere. Even if they match! We all seek Mr. and Miss Right, but turning dating into a job interview removes every ounce of romance and passion from the occasion.
  5. No matter how you speak in your day-to-day life, don't use swear or curse words in your profile, personal ad, conversations or emails! They are generally offensive and turn people off. Again, swearing is like sarcasm -- people may find your colorful language charming in face-to-face conversations, but without context your cursing may make you seem uneducated or angry.
  6. Make your personal ad truthful above all things, but also emphasize your best characteristics. Admitting that you are a loner who has no friends will not win you many admirers, but emphasizing that you are a true individual will. Learning to sell yourself a bit without exaggerating is your best bet.
  7. If you really feel passionate about something say so, don't try and hide the things that are important to you. If you love partying say so, if your religion is important to you, say so. Be yourself, and be upfront with who you are.
  8. Do not pretend that you are willing to fly half way round the world to meet someone if you are not. It's not fair to anyone including you. If you are really only looking for someone in your state or close to home then stick with that and make it clear.
  9. Always try and reply to people's messages and reply in a reasonable amount of time, not weeks later. If you are serious about dating, you are serious about replying to personal messages. Give people the ability to move on to other potential partners if you are not interested. Conversely, don't email someone weeks later and not expect that they haven't written you off!
  10. Be positive! The more you project a friendly and positive attitude, the more likely people are going to be attracted to you. Smile in your photo and be inviting in your chats and comments. People who seem bitter, negative or conceited push others away -- people on dating websites are often sensitive to rejection, so who would want to take a chance getting to know someone who may end up being cruel or mean?
Be patient, it takes time to find someone special using personal ads but it does work. After all, it's just that one special person that you wish to meet. Sometimes you need to chat to quite a few people first. Know that the missteps and fizzles in chemistry are part of the process. Take your time to complete your personal ads, take your time to chat with many different people, and take your time to get to know someone well. It's all part of moving toward the day when you find that special someone.

Are Women Solar Powered?

Warm weather brings out women and skimpier clothes

The sunshine and warm weather has arrived which heralds Spring/Summer here in the West and suddenly the local high street or shopping mall turns into a high-fashion catwalk for super-vixens. Throughout the dark months the only thing on view was tumbleweed or snow. For years now I have wondered whether women are in fact solar-powered. In the dark days of deepest winter as a man you will be hard-pressed to spot a super-babe unless you are living with one already. Streets are full of black-coated shadows with hats and scarves and you wonder where all the girls have gone.

Suddenly, the first warm day of the year arrives and you realize that your healthy fully-paid for beer belly is a shocking reminder of the last 6 months (lifetime ? Ed.) of indulgence and you need to sort yourself out. XXXL baggy T-shirts may see you through the next few months but with sudden appearance of that orange thing in the sky, your local public areas become a temple to female beauty. The question is, where do they all come from? For half the year, these goddesses are no where to be found. It is always possible they have been wintering in Antigua or Ibiza but for sure they don't work in your office or that of any other male buddy.

Quickly you come to the conclusion that either these girls are shipped in for the summer to drive you crazy, or that they must be a figment of your imagination. Its a perennial mystery. For a guy, getting ready for summer is a laborious task with the gradual coloring of the skin and a lazy shift to shorts and T-shirts. Women however appear to turn into sun-worshiping supermodels at the drop of a hat.

I remember working in one city where the first sunny day was always greeted by the male team in the office heading for the best area of the city for lunch just to watch the girls go by. For months we had been starved of anything to look at at all, and within hours of a good weather report we see perfect women appear in all-over tans, strappy tops, perfect hair and this years' designer shades. They exude confidence, look spectacular, there is no gym work to be done, and they could eat you for breakfast.

The answer is of course that these beauties simply must be powered by the sun. During the dark season they hibernate or lock themselves away simply to appear like butterflies when you are most off your guard. Whereas as you have braved the wind, rain and snow to watch every winter sporting contest on offer, becoming more pasty-skinned than snow covered peaks, these perfect specimens of woman kind have been plotting and planning.

You see whilst most men like to react to situations, women are far more thoughtful and prepared. They plan their wardrobes by the season and know what they will be wearing for the summer before you have even ordered the Thanksgiving turkey. Women are indeed proactive, hence your dilemma. These girls have been there all along, working hard in the gym through the long dark days, working on a pre-summer tan and caring about their appearance. If they haven't then they are still far more equipped for seasonal changes than men ever will be.

It is certainly true that women feel cold more than men. Guys, you know how when you are too hot because your ex-girlfriend used to attach herself whilst asleep to your body like a limpet so that whilst she snoozed, your combined body-temperature was the same as the surface of the sun? You remember allowing one leg to reach out from the sheets to act as a cooling aid for the rest of your quickly-melting body? Well exactly. Girls generally don't like cold weather so I am assuming they hibernate.

So when the sun finally does shine and the temperature rises, you feel you have been taken by surprise by the local mayor shipping in blonde models from Sweden. I must confess that I don't know where these great-looking girls come from and I certainly know that I have never worked in a winter office full of them. It is possible that every city has a huge office where all the top looking girls work all winter. But for now it remains a government secret. But I do accept that as men, we tend to keep our eyes closed for half the year. If you are lucky enough to live in warmer climes then I am sure you don't meet this scenario as often but certainly for European men, its a perennial mystery we cannot explain.

There is something amazing about dating in the warm sunshine. Everyone feels more sociable, possibly more attractive and certainly more healthy. We go outdoors more, we socialize more, we care about how we look more. With lighter nights we stay out later and travel more and because of all these things we meet more people and consequently encounter more attractive girls per square foot. So take advantage of the season.

Whilst the Fall is romantic and love in the snow is glorious, it is in the summertime that we flower best. Therefore guys perhaps this year or next, if you are dating you could anticipate summer just a little earlier than usual and think about how you are going to look when those warm nights finally arrive. Be proactive like the girls we ogle.Wouldn't it be good if a woman writer could write an article on why all the attractive guys always appear in the summer.

But for now I stick with my original point. I firmly do believe girls may be solar-powered. Just don't let them know the secret is out.

Making Up Do's and Don'ts

How to earn her forgiveness, no matter what you've done

We all make mistakes. We forget birthdays. We have a few too many beers with the guys and throw up in a hamper. Some of us might even -- on occasion -- check out other girls. (The nerve! Who would do such a thing?!)

Keystone Light recognized this and even has an ad campaign dedicated to male slip ups. Friends, that is why the make-up exists. Here are a few handy do's and don'ts to get you back in your lady's good graces.

Do:

  • Order or pick up flowers. This CANNOT be too over the top. If you get a single rose, you had better have a smooth line like, "A single rose for my one and only girl." Otherwise, the bigger the better.
  • Apologize. Be specific. Not just, "Sorry about the other night." Acknowledge exactly what you did that was wrong and repent for your sins. Beg, if you need to.
  • Put a little extra effort into the next date. If you do dinner and a movie every Friday, moving it to Thursday isn't exactly going to wow her. Something girly is in line. Go to a paint-your-own-pottery store and make mugs for each other. Is it lame? Yes. Will it earn you forgiveness? And then some.
Don’t:
  • Promise to never do it again, unless she demands it. We all know you'll pass out naked on the front lawn again. Don't kid yourself or your lady.
  • Expect make-up sex, or even a hug. Take what you can get -- and be happy she didn't throw a vase at you.
  • Blame it on the beer, her hot friend, a dare from your buddy or anything else. Take responsibility like a man. It's manly. And girls dig manliness.
Try to mix and match your make-ups. It will keep her on her toes. Also, try to mix up your screw-ups. A distinct pattern of behavior will quickly dilute your make-up efforts. And besides, plaid and polka dots are patterns. Repeatedly peeing in the trash can is not.

10 Things a Good Boyfriend Won't Ask You to Do

A savvy boyfriend would never ask us to make him a sandwich while he plays armchair quarterback.

We've all been in relationships where, at times, we've felt more like a mom or a secretary than a significant other. While we understand that healthy relationships require compromises, we've compiled a list of favors that good boyfriends know better than to consistently request. If you're constantly taking on any of the items on this list (especially with any hint of resentment), it's time to get your guy to lend a hand.

His laundry
Pairing your socks isn't exactly our idea of a stay-at-home date, nor does living with you make us a 1950s housewife. A good compromise is for one partner to sort and start the laundry and the other to fold and put it away. Plus, studies show that helping around the house can increase intimacy. So, how 'bout that pile of dishes? If you clean up the sink while we tackle the living room, we'll be more likely to cuddle.

Buy gifts and cards for other people on his behalf
We'll help when we're out with you, but no, we won't make a pit stop at Hallmark and Laura Ashley while we're shopping with the girls. Just because we're women doesn't mean we're automatically adept at figuring out your Aunt Martha's dress size.

Plan an entire vacation without his help
When we ask you whether you'd rather spend our anniversary in Cabo or Vermont, we want you to express an actual preference, not to say, "Whatever, I'm happy with what makes you happy." The same goes for the hotel, the airline, and the restaurant reservations. Letting us take the reins isn't considerate, it's just lazy and boring. Instead, make sure to divvy up the planning. We pick the location and hotel, you plan the activities.

Make him a sandwich
The refrigerator is 10 feet away and your game control has a pause button, so get up, stretch, and slap that ham and lettuce together by yourself. We don't care if you're "in the zone," because apparently, you were out of it long enough to articulate your immediate need for a nibble. Maybe we'll consider it if you agree to break from the game for 20 minutes, put on some coffee, and enjoy your afternoon snack with us.

Change your relationship status on Facebook
We believe our life outside of the Internet should speak for itself. On the off-chance that we break up, wouldn't you rather tell your close friends in person, rather than have that ever-present broken heart appear on 500 people's newsfeeds? Well, we would, so don't even ask us to include our relationship status on Facebook in the first place.

Be his wake-up call
Really, buy an alarm clock. Remembering a man's nap and wakeup schedule should be an occasional favor, not an everyday obligation.

Hang out with his ex
Some women like befriending the ex, and others just want to satisfy their curiosity about her, but don't pressure the ones who would rather keep a distance.

Keep up with his favorite shows
How would you like it if we made you religiously watch Desperate Housewives? Instead, let's pick a show we both like and make sure we follow it together.

Lose weight
We'll tone up for health purposes and for ourselves, but if you're really concerned about the 5 lbs we gained over the holidays, don't flat-out complain that we're getting flabby. Instead, invite us to go biking with you or to take a yoga class together. Treat exercise as a fun activity we can do together instead of something that we should do just for you.

Keep our hair long
Trust us, short hair is cute, fun, and just as feminine as back-length hair. Just look at Halle Berry, Audrey Tautou and Keira Knightley, circa 2005. It's not as if we're going to shave it off or sport one of Rihanna's hairstyles, but even if we did, we hope you'd find us just as attractive..

5 Ways to Harness Your Online Dating Potential

What to say to win over your love interests

The conventional online dating wisdom for profiles is to be yourself, use pictures that aren't from 5 years back when you looked like a totally different person and describe who you are openly and honestly. But everything your grandma told you is B.S., according to a new online dating study by OkCupid’s OkTrends blog, which found that there are a few key things you can do to up the number of cheesy "They're Interested!" emails flooding your inbox.

  • No LOLspeak -- Act like you graduated high school for 5 seconds and purge your profile of references to "u," "yer" and other phrases that indicate you spend all day surfing sites written for 13-year-olds. Also, egregious spelling errors are right out.
  • No Compliments -- Or at least no praising physical attributes right off the bat. It gives the impression you're only looking for one thing. Try commending a quick wit or an impressive accomplishment first.
  • Be Quirky -- There are literally millions of singles online, and you should pretend like every one of them is interested in the same person you are. Originality, even in something as simple as a greeting, gets you remembered.
  • Slow Down -- Make it clear that you're comfortable chatting via the anonymous dating site for awhile before begging for a first meeting. People who seem like they're jumping the gun get major points off.
  • Cite Specific Interests and Hobbies -- Again, originality (even bordering on weirdness) is key. Talk about you obsession with Shark Week, debate the merits of different brands of hand sanitizer or tell that one story that always clears the room. You'll definitely stand out, and maybe you'll find someone who knows more about the elasmobranch than you do!
