Aquarians are intellectually curious, community-oriented, and visionary. They're focused on understanding humanity, often prioritizing friendships and networks over romantic love. This detachment can make them seem unemotional, but they value genuine connection.
The challenge is that once they form an opinion, they are incredibly stubborn. As a fixed air sign, they can be resistant to change. Additionally, they can seem aloof or emotionally unavailable because they prefer analyzing feelings over experiencing them deeply. However, when committed, they are loyal and devoted in their own unique way. They can be romantic if they understand that it's important to their partner, but it often comes from an intellectual space rather than an emotional one.

Aquarius is a sign that needs space for intellectual detachment. And don't get too personal too fast. Aquarians hate that, because they're about thoughts and concepts and intellectualism. So on a first date with an Aquarius, asking him something super, super personal is not cool. Instead, talk about ideas and concepts, and that will get him to relax a little bit so you can gain more intimacy. At the same time, since Aquarians are so in their head, you definitely need to let them know that you're physically and sexually interested in them, because otherwise it will just stay in their head as a thought or as a construct of an idea, as opposed to real physical or emotional intimacy. Tl;dr, breach physical or intimate emotionality with an Aquarius carefully!

I used to get really frustrated with how logical my Aquarius boyfriend is. When we would argue at the beginning of our relationship, I didn't feel like he was taking my emotions seriously. I had to adapt my communication to appeal to his rational side. It took a little trial and error to figure out how to explain the reasoning behind my emotions in a way that made sense to him, but now our communication is much smoother!

Aquarius men can take sooo long to open up to you! If you have a crush on a guy and want to pursue a relationship with him, focus on building a friendship first. You'll have to be patient and try your best not to take things too fast. It'll be worth it for the right Aquarius! What I find most attractive about my Aquarius partner is how creative he is. His mind works in a way that's completely different from mine and the way he experiences the world around him is so beautiful.

I feel like Aquarians can be distant. My best friend is an Aquarius, and I love him, but sometimes he will go weeks without messaging me if I don't reach out. I know it's not because he doesn't care. When we do hang out with each other, we pick right back up from where we left off and he's very present and a blast to hang out with! It took me a while to get used to his aloofness but I know he's a loyal friend.

I just found out my now ex was an Aquarius moon. What a waste of my life. He lied about everything regarding getting married and having children until fifth year. Then when I confronted him about marriage he dropped a bomb saying he doesn’t believe in marriage. And he let me know he is an anxious avoidant attachment style. Aka living very distantly between 3floors barely even saying a sentence a week to each other, sleeping on separate floors.
I say if you like to have a warm loving present partner who prioritizes you. This is the complete opposite. It is stale, cold and isolated a relationship with an Aquarius moon

I'm sorry to hear that lady, he was just not that into you. I'm glad you didn't stick around for 10 years like me. Rediscover yourself and heal, you sound like a good woman so the right man will recognize you. I hit the gym and worked on my mind and I feel very fulfilled and content. I'm just waiting for my ideal man to approach and I will accept his proposal.

I’m an Aquarius sun and omg I’m so sorry about that, I act differently mainly because my moon is in Scorpio 🙄 and my ascendant sign is Aries but I also have an Aquarius guy best friend and he is not really touchy with his partners, he holds their hand and stuff but if you want intimacy and cuddles, Aquarius is not the type

I'm going through the same exact thing. We are neighbors and I think that's the problem. I'm to accessible. There's no effort put in and he thinks ill always be around, he takes me for granted, they need more of a challenge or they get bored and seek other people or activities

My question is, how long should a woman wait before being sexually intimate with an Aquarius man in order for him to form a bond with the woman? I think we waited close to 3 months, 2 at the least. We gradually got sexual, and focused on deep conversation in the beginning.

I had a crush on Aquarius man.. And turns out he likes me since beginning we met.. We never really know it because im Capricorn (takes time to me to let people in) and its kinda work with him.. Imagine we just get into conversations when we actually like each other. After all that stupid memes ans chat over 4YEARS!! Hahaa so yeah.. U need to be hos friends first. And u cant keep them. Unless they wanna be kept by u.. The secret is?? Learn everything new.. So u can give them new mental stimulation.. Im naturally a reader itself.. I think thts why i can connect with him.. But u need to see their other moon or venus. Because its affect.. My guy is in Taurus and Aries.. So he quite pusher.. But also loblve beautiful things. So its a challange a bit

I have recently started a friend's with benefits relationship with an aquarius man. I'm a 48f he's 57m. I'm a virgo fire dragon he's got a Scorpio rising. So together we are all 4 elements me,earth and fire. Him wind and water. When together we laugh,we have great conversations and the sex is amazing. We only see each other once a week but when we do it's magic. Then the time in-between he's a different person. I've worked out he's very independent like me and he doesn't like to text much rather talk on the phone. But God he's so changeable. When together it feels like this could easily become more but when apart it's like he's rethought everything and I feel it's easy to annoy him. Help! I don't want to marry the dude,I'm fiercely independent but how can I know if he really likes me even as a friend or if this is just sex. He's impossible to read,but he does drive for 1 1/2hrs to see me and he thinks this is alot of effort?? Any insight welcome to solve this rubix cube man.

I'm an aquarius also, when I'm in a relationship I forget about everything, well almost everything when I'm with her, and give her my whole attention. This kind of focus cannot be sustainable for me as it is draining. So I just enter into a detached mode when we're apart, does not mean I'm playing games or I'm second guessing if she is important for me or not. Hope this helps.

Give him space. Focus on you. Don't call or text him. Let him chase you a little bit again. Then, plan a fun adventure to show off his creativity but make sure he pays for it 😉

This guy is an Aquarius he is one of my best friends we were texting everyday for like a few weeks when we were texting he randomly stopped. We were texting in a group chat so it wasn't like we weren't "communicating" then about 5 days later I got this text from him "How was your trip?" and we talk for a little bit. He wouldn't have cared about me if he hadn't asked right? We also have this goofy thing on Duolingo where he has requested to do "friend streaks" Is he just being nice? He will also randomly ask me questions about what to wear or if he texted the right thing. He also comes to me when there's a drama in the friend group. He also told me I reminded him of the color yellow I don't know what that means? He also gave me a nickname of "Dahila"? What does that mean? I don't know where we stand and it's really CONFUSING... (We have known each other for around two years he said he'd seen me before but had never talked to me. He also said I should have joined his moms group when we were planning for a summer camp his mom is a leader for) HELP
