Aquarians are mysterious, unique, captivating, and totally confusing when it comes to love. This individualistic air sign marches to the beat of their own drummer, which means that the traditional signs of romantic interest don’t quite apply. Instead, we’ve put together a list of astrologer-approved signs that an Aquarius likes you. Get ready to decode your Aquarius and figure out how they really feel about you.
This article is based on an interview with our psychic astrologer, Stina Garbis, owner of Psychic Stina. Check out the full interview here.

    How often does your Aquarius ask to hang out? If they’re consistently reaching out and planning fun activities for you two, that’s a telltale sign they’re interested. [1]
    • As one of the most dynamic signs, an Aquarius can be hard to pin down. If they’re willing to set aside regular time for you (like a weekly coffee date), your Aquarius might just have a crush!
    • To keep an Aquarius interested, it’s important to give them space and time to recharge.
    • For instance, if you see each other two days in a row, hold off on scheduling another hangout. Give your Aquarius their alone time, and let them be the first to reach out to plan your next get-together.

    [2] An Aquarius with a crush can sometimes look like a good friend on the surface—they’ll give you emotional support, offer to help with little things, and always be up for a fun outing. But when they want to be more than friends, an Aquarius will amp up the romance and go above and beyond. [3] Here’s what you can expect when an Aquarius likes you:
    • They’ll surprise you with little gifts, like flowers delivered to your door or a box of chocolates.
    • They’ll pick you up from the airport and have your favorite snacks ready in the car.
    • They’ll offer you a shoulder to cry on and treat you to a spa day the next day.

They hint at going on adventures with you.

    However, since Aquarians aren’t the most expressive people, you’ll have to pay really close attention to catch this subtle sign. Rather than asking you out directly, an Aquarius person will probably drop sneaky hints that they want to hang out. [4] Don’t be afraid to take the initiative and let your Aquarius know you’d love to join in on their plans. Once an Aquarius gets a better read on how you feel, they’ll get more confident.
    • Instead of asking you out to dinner, they might send a link to a restaurant and say something like, “Woah doesn’t this place look good?”
    • Respond with something like, “That looks amazing! Wanna check it out?”

    When this air sign starts to open up, remember this is a big step for them and a sign they like you! [5] They might whip out photos of their latest creative project, invite you over to watch their favorite movie series, or give you the ultimate rundown of a conspiracy theory they love. No matter what they’re interested in, let them know that you appreciate how they’ve shown you another side of themselves.
    • Since it’s hard for Aquarians to open up, it never hurts to give them a little extra validation. Say something like, “Thanks so much for sharing that with me!”
    • Remember Aquarians are often drawn to wacky, edgy topics, so don’t be surprised if your Aquarius is interested in things you’ve never even heard about.
    • Aquarians want to hear about your unique interests too. Don’t hesitate to share your own hobbies and favorite topics with them.​​ [6]

They open up to you about their feelings.

    [7] If an Aquarius starts coming to you to ask for advice and talk about their problems, that’s a huge sign of trust. When they really like you, they’ll drop the aura of mystique and let you in on who they truly are behind their irresistible outcast charm.
    • They might bring up personal topics like their family, their past relationships, and their life philosophy.
    • Their tone of voice might get softer, or they might smile and laugh more around you.
    • Aquarians are true visionaries. If your Aquarius starts talking to you about their future dreams and goals, chances are they’re testing to see if you to be a part of that future!

    Look out for moments when your Aquarius pulls away from a crowd in order to catch up one-on-one. You might notice that they lock eyes with you from across the room, or choose to sit down right next to you.
    • It’s normal for an Aquarius to use their oddball sense of humor and wild stories to impress a crowd. If you think an Aquarius likes you, see if they look for your approval when they start showing off at parties.
    • When you show up at a social event, wear something unique and edgy to catch your Aquarian’s attention. [8]

They listen to you with undivided attention.

    Does your Aquarius make intense eye contact with you when you’re chatting? Do they respond to your messages right away? When an Aquarius seems focused and responsive around you, it’s a dead giveaway that they’re into you. After all, Aquarians are normally fidgety and aloof, since they’re off in their own creative worlds. [9]
    • To win your Aquarius over, show them the same level of interest.
    • When they talk, put your phone away and ask follow-up questions like, “And then what happened?” or “What made you start thinking that way?”

    In the same way they pursue abstract intellectual subjects and oddball interests, an Aquarius will want to understand what makes you unique and special. They’ll take what you say seriously— don’t be surprised if they end up watching movies you recommend or reading books you mention briefly.
    • Show your Aquarius your true self and don’t be afraid to teach them all about niche interests or unique topics no one else understands.

They start intellectual conversations with you.

    When an Aquarius person likes you, they’ll want to hear your perspective and get to know your opinions. Keep in mind, Aquarians have a rebellious streak, so feel free to bring up a hot take on an issue or to voice an opposing opinion. They’ll respect that you can engage in an exciting debate. [10]
    • If you’re not familiar with a topic your Aquarius brings up, don’t sweat it. Aquarians welcome honesty and they’ll find it refreshing if you say, “I’m not super familiar with that. Could you tell me more about it?”
    • Start an intellectual conversation with your Aquarius by asking, “If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?”

    This air sign is one of the least touchy zodiac signs. Your Aquarius might not initiate close physical contact like a hug or cuddle session, but pay attention to smaller casual touches. They might brush by you in a crowd or playfully touch your arm when you’re talking.
    • If an Aquarius man or woman touches you on your face, shoulder, waist, or forearm, there’s a good chance they’re flirting. [11]
    • For an Aquarius, physical contact is tied up in emotions—when they feel comfortable holding your hand or cuddling with you, it’s their way of saying, “I like you and I feel safe with you.”
11

They give you mixed signals.

    Look out for subtle flirty texts and affectionate touches that gradually ramp up in intensity. But don’t be surprised if your Aquarius seems to get a little cold or pull back. A hot-and-cold approach is pretty standard for this eccentric air sign. Stay loyal, be patient, and an Aquarius will come to you in their own time. [12]
    • Here’s a classic Aquarius move: You might think they’re about to go in for a kiss, and then… nope! They pull away and start talking about political reform or a centuries-old philosophical debate.
    • Aquarians might also send you a short compliment text or funny text from time to time. [13] Then, one day, you might notice they start sending longer messages more frequently.

    If an Aquarius is friends with you they are interested in you. They usually blend love and friendships, so there may not be a clear line where one ends and the other begins.
