Aries:

They just tell you they’re into you outright.

Aries is probably the boldest of the entire zodiac. They are fiery and barrel headfirst into everything they do. This is especially true when it comes to dating. If they like you, they need to have you. Like, right now.

Aries doesn’t believe that slow and steady wins the race. Why take your time when you can have something right now? Aries runs on passion and impulse. They aren’t shy about what they want and will outright tell you if they like you (usually in explicit detail).

Taurus:

They don’t usually text you first, but will always match your energy if you initiate a conversation.

Taurus is a grounded earth sign that approaches romantic relationships with a fair amount of reservation. This is because Taurus dates to find their soulmate, not someone to simply pass the time with until the real thing comes along.

Because Taurus is so careful with it comes to romance, they typically don’t text anyone they’re super interested in first. Taurus wants to play it safe and doesn’t want to come on too strong or rush things.

However, if you text Taurus first, they will always reciprocate and match your energy if they’re feeling you, too. If they are short, however, especially if you’ve clearly shown interest, it’s safe to say they’re not interested.

Gemini:

They spark conversations filled with intellectual (but very flirtatious) banter.

Gemini is one of the most analytical of the zodiac signs. They are incredibly intelligent and adore stirring, intellectual debates, especially with someone they are interested in romantically.

Gemini needs you to stir their mind in order for you to awaken their heart. If they’re texting you about deep, meaningful, and complicated subjects, it’s because they think you have the capacity to keep up with their weaving, never-quiet brain. It is a compliment. And if Gemini adds in some flirtatious teasing to those convos? Well, they’re crushing hard.

Cancer:

They text you “goodnight” each night before they fall asleep.

Cancer is a tender, emotive water sign. They are caring, nurturing, and crave stability in romance above all else. They need to feel safe with you in order to fall.

Cancer is incredibly romantic, meaning they will find subtle, sentimental ways to show their affection to you, especially if you have yet to DTR. This means they’ll usually text you goodnight every evening before they drift to sleep themselves to give you the hint they’re thinking of you (in their bed, no less).

Leo:

They double text you.

Leo needs undivided, consistent attention from the people they date. If a Leo is truly into you and it’s been a while since you’ve responded to their last text, they will text you again.

Leo’s double-texting is not out of insecurity necessarily. It’s because Leo loves attention, especially from romantic interests. It’s their way of communicating that they want your eyes on them and only them.

Virgo:

They ask you tons of questions about yourself.

Virgos are problem solvers and caretakers, meaning they take great interest in caring for the people they hold close. If they’re crushing on you, Virgo will be extra attentive in the form of endless questions about you, your day, your interests, and your life goals. And, with whatever answers you give, they’ll have long, drawn-out conversations about your day, your interests, and your life goals. Virgo will be particularly keen to give you advice on these things if they like you. It’s their way of showing love.

Libra:

They compliment you.

Libras are naturally flirtatious, charismatic, and romantic. The ultimate air sign, Libra does not settle down easily. They tend to float around from romantic interest to romantic interest. They see great fun in getting to know other people, even if it isn’t necessarily long-term.

That said, if a Libra does have feelings for you, you’ll know because they’ll text you compliments. It’s their way of saying they see you, they notice you, and they value you. You’ve got their attention.

Scorpio:

Lol, you don’t.

Scorpio is the most elusive zodiac sign, and if you’re trying to decipher whether they have feelings for you through their texts…good luck.

Scorpios tend to keep their heart tightly locked away until they are both sure of how they feel but mostly they want to feel secure in that you like them, too. Scorpios do not take well to rejection so they have their walls high at pretty much all times in order to protect themselves from the possibility of it even happening.

Sagittarius:

They don’t initiate text conversation, but they do text you to partake in spontaneous plans.

Sagittarius is all about adventure. They want to see the world and expand their horizons. Because Sagittarius is all about growth and experiencing the world around them, they aren’t the most hands-on when it comes to texting or their phone. They’d rather see you in person than spend time having lengthy digital conversations.

If a Sagittarius likes you, you’ll know because they want you to join them on their constant explorations. They’ll text you to do random, fun things as soon as they think of them and give you an hour to prepare. It’s not because they’re trying to be flippant with your time. It’s just because Sagittarius is impulsive. If they want to do something, they want to do it now.

Capricorn:

They text you consistently.

Capricorn is a traditional earth sign. They are value-driven, with those values being productivity, efficiency, and accuracy. If a Capricorn has a crush, they will prioritize their incredibly busy schedule to find ways to text said crush, usually at exact intervals, to make sure they are checking off “show interest in person I want to date” off their to-do list. It may not be the most romantic approach but it is productive, efficient, and accurate, right?

Aquarius:

They’ll text you about their obscure interests because they think you’d “actually get it.”

Aquarius isn’t like the other zodiac signs; they’re different. Aquarius is all about their non-conventional interests, hobbies, and beliefs. This can give Aquarius a bit of a superiority complex since they find great pride in being so unique.

If an Aquarius has a crush on you, they think it’s because you’re different as well. Aquarius will text you about their obscure interests because they feel a connection with you and believe you’d actually understand what it is they’re talking about. This could be anything from articles to music to movie recommendations. If they’re sharing their obscurities with you, know they’re crushing hard.

Pisces:

They’ll text you every time something reminds you of them.

Like, literally anything that made them think of you. Did you order french fries at dinner once in 2017 and they passed a Mcdonald’s? You will hear about it if it’s from a Pisces who is crushing on you.

But a Pisces won’t just text you about simple connections. They are big on sentimentality, especially when it comes to music. For example, if a Pisces finds a song they think you’d love, they’ll send it to you with a detailed explanation as to why they think you’d love it. By the way, if they’re sharing their secret Spotify playlists with you, they are most likely in love.
