    Libras supposedly like it when their dates dress up a little, as they love exploring the finer things in life. To impress a Libra on a date, dress up a little. Even if you're going to a place without a dress code, take some time and care with your personal grooming to hold a Libra's attention.
    • For example, put on a button down shirt and tie or nice blouse and dress pants, even if you're going to a more casual restaurant.

    Astrologers believe Libras appreciate highbrow culture, so appealing to these interests can help you woo a Libra. Instead of going with a conventional dinner and a movie, plan something with a sophisticated feel.
    • Take a Libra to a show at a local art museum.
    • Get tickets for a play or concert.
    • Go to an artsy film theater and see independent films, art films, or foreign films.

    Libras allegedly like to live it up a little, so don't take them to just any establishment. Look for somewhat pricier, fancier restaurants and clubs to impress a Libra. Try going to a new restaurant in town that people are raving about, for example. This gesture will likely be appreciated by a Libra.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/79\/Date-a-Libra-Step-4-Version-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-4-Version-3.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/79\/Date-a-Libra-Step-4-Version-3.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-4-Version-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Astrologers believe Libras are naturally more social than other signs. While a Libra will enjoy spending one-on-one time with their partner, they also crave companionship from elsewhere. It's important to make plans with other people to keep a Libra happy.
    • Plan double dates with other couple friends.
    • Instead of planning a date night at a new club, get a group of friends together to go.
    • Invite your partner to events with your friends and family members.

Supporting a Libra Emotionally

  1. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c5\/Date-a-Libra-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c5\/Date-a-Libra-Step-5.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras allegedly crave compliments, more so than other signs. In order to keep a Libra feeling secure, give them compliments frequently. Let a Libra know if you like an outfit on them or if they look nice that day. Flattery goes a long way in terms of keeping your Libra happy. [1]
    • Make sure to keep your comments genuine, however. People may get annoyed by compliments that seem hyperbolic or disingenuous.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/dc\/Date-a-Libra-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/d\/dc\/Date-a-Libra-Step-6.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras supposedly need space in a relationship. While a Libra will enjoy spending time with their partner, they also need their own social life to be happy. Understand that, sometimes, a Libra will go out with their friends and not invite you. It's vital you let your Libra match have this space without making them feel guilty. [2]
    • For example, if a Libra wants a night out with their friends, let them go without complaining if you're not invited. Libras need time with friends without their partners to be happy.
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f9\/Date-a-Libra-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f9\/Date-a-Libra-Step-7.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Once Libras settle into a couple, they enjoy more traditional gestures of love and romance. Libras enjoy the novelty of being in a relationship and will want to do couple-like things, so celebrate traditional romantic milestones. Do not forget a gift on dates like Valentine's Day or to mark things like your six month anniversary.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/25\/Date-a-Libra-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/25\/Date-a-Libra-Step-8.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras can be somewhat old fashioned in how they show affection. A Libra may, for example, insist on opening doors for you or want to hold hands or engage in other public displays of affection. Let your Libra match engage in these gestures, as it's their way of showing they care. [3]
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e4\/Date-a-Libra-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e4\/Date-a-Libra-Step-9.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras are known as the sign of balance. When Libras are considering disagreements and debates, they feel it's fair to let both sides express themselves equally. When a Libra expresses their opinion, it's important you remain silent and listen.
    • Do things like nod, maintain eye contact, and paraphrase what they've said to show you're paying attention.
    • Libras can be a little frank in expressing their opinions. Do not take it personally if a Libra strongly disagrees with you or plays devil's advocate. They are simply trying to show two sides to each argument.

Maintaining the Relationship Long Term

  1. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/76\/Date-a-Libra-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/76\/Date-a-Libra-Step-10.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras, due to their supposedly contemplative nature, like to weigh the pros and cons of a potential romantic match slowly. Once a Libra has decided on a partner, they'll eagerly jump into a relationship. However, it can take them awhile to make up their mind, so it's important to allow the relationship to progress at its own pace.
    • Do not force a Libra into a premature commitment. If they're hesitant to define the relationship early on, give them the space to make up their mind.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/fd\/Date-a-Libra-Step-11.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-11.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/fd\/Date-a-Libra-Step-11.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-11.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras are believed to be both social and very charming, which can sometimes be falsely read as flirtatious. Remember that Libras are charming and sociable towards everyone. Just because a Libra partner is impressing someone else does not mean they're romantically interested in that person.
  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/4a\/Date-a-Libra-Step-12.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-12.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/4a\/Date-a-Libra-Step-12.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-12.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras are believed to be naturally interested in facts and details in situations. Libras need as much information as possible to understand another person, make decisions, and smooth over conflicts. It's important to communicate regularly and share as many details about your life and your feelings as possible. This will help a Libra better understand you and feel secure in the relationship. [4]
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/00\/Date-a-Libra-Step-13.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-13.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/00\/Date-a-Libra-Step-13.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-13.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Try to keep your cool around a Libra and avoid petty arguments or becoming emotional. As Libras are believed to be a sign of emotional balance, they get upset at signs of drama. [5]
    • In any relationship, your feelings need to be heard. However, when expressing yourself to a Libra, wait until you've gathered your thoughts and can raise issues in a calm, collective manner.
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c2\/Date-a-Libra-Step-14.jpg\/v4-460px-Date-a-Libra-Step-14.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/c\/c2\/Date-a-Libra-Step-14.jpg\/aid494501-v4-728px-Date-a-Libra-Step-14.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Libras can sometimes come off as critical or disagreeable due to their tendency to look at all sides of an argument. Understand a Libra is just trying to view a situation objectively if they're expressing or exploring a contrary opinion.

    Expert Answer
    Libra's love flattery. Tell a Libra that they're pretty, their clothes are cute, or they're eloquent, and you'll have them blushing in no time. They also like to be complimented about the way they approach things because Libras are quite diplomatic. So it is really important they know that you know they're making an effort in relationships and validate that.
