Aries are very independent, courageous people. They are generous, fun, and optimistic, and they can make good friends. However, they can also be moody, impatient, and self-centered, and so, there are a few things you need to keep in mind while pursuing a friendship with an Aries.

Steps

Ram-ruled Aries are born under the first sign of the zodiac, and so, naturally they are born leaders. They are pioneers, ^{[1]

Remember the bad:

- Selfish
. Arians can be moody, and often you will find that they just want to be alone. They are independent people, and so, don't try to cling, as this will just make them feel fenced in. A fenced-in ram, as you can predict, will do anything to gain back his freedom.
Aries live fast-paced lives, always finding a new interest. If you want to stay friends with an Aries, you have to be able to keep up with his/her fast pace, as Aries will not let anyone slow them down.
Flatter their ego. Arians have a lot of pride, and they love being complimented. Tell him/her what you like best about his/her personality, or that you love being friends with him/her.
. Arians love excitement of all kinds, and they won't usually be able to befriend a shy person who stays inside a shell of comfort and safety. If you go to an amusement park, be prepared to ride all of the biggest, fastest, scariest roller coasters, as Aries lives for thrills.
Aries loves to be in charge, and so, you can't expect dibs on shotgun. You have to be easygoing, especially when first getting to know Aries. Let him/her have his/her way, and s/he will eventually feel less need to be in control.
Aries loves a challenge, and so, make him/her want to get to know you. For Aries, it's all about the chase, so making it too easy for him/her will soon become a bore, and s/he'll move onto the next thing.

Question

If am an Aries, why am I not bossy or a born leader?

Community Answer

Aries is just your sun sign, and there's much more to astrology than one's sun sign. Check out wikiHow for information on how to read your chart. You can also get your chart from alabe.com. There is much more to astrology than your sun sign--hence, astrologers.

Question

How do I attract an Aries boy who knows that I like him? He said that he doesn't want to date anyone right now and that he just wants to be friends with me, should I still try or should I give up?

Community Answer

Start with being friends! Get to know him better, and let him get to know you. Friendships very often turn into something more. Don't focus on the romantic angle right now, just see where it goes.

Tips

Understand that a person's Sun Sign isn't the only part of astrology that determines his/her personality. The Sun Sign simply gives you an idea of a person's outer personality, and so, all Aries are different.

Don't pressure an Aries. Arians are strong and stubborn, and they hate being pressured into a situation. Not only that, but they do badly under pressure.

It may be true that an Arian is usually very daring, but if s/he isn't, don't try to force him/her into it. As explained below, Aries will not tolerate being forced into doing anything.
