  1. An Aquarius falls fast when you two have brainy chats. While other signs of the zodiac might be drawn in by looks, he finds intelligence extremely seductive. [1] He also crushes on anyone who can bring up different topics and stay curious about the world. If you give him an interesting subject to think about, then he won’t be able to get you out of his head. [2]
    • He’ll perk up if you ask a hypothetical question like, “Would you rather overcome your greatest fear or never have to face it all?”
    • Bring up a matter you’ve always wondered about and make a comment like, “Sometimes I’m not sure if social media keeps us more connected.”
    • Dive into your backgrounds or how your pasts shaped you. Say something like, “Do you feel like you learned more about yourself during your childhood or in college?”
