-
Independence Water bearers tend to be free spirits who don't respond well to rigidity and limits—and they expect the same from their partner. They look for someone who's as independent-minded as they are, someone who's forging their own path and believes in doing things on their own.
- This doesn't mean that you never need any help with anything! Aquarians just prefer a lady who's capable of taking care of herself and isn't looking for anyone else to do it for her.
-
Intelligence An Aquarius man is often known for his intelligence. When he gets going on a thought or an idea, he's unlikely to stop or slow down for anyone. He needs a partner who can keep up with his quick and innovative mind as well as contribute to the process.
- As an air sign, Aquarian guys definitely have the gift for gab so they also need their partners to have great communication skills.
- Astrologer Angel Eyedealism agrees that to attract an Aquarius, "you must engage mentally first."

Quirkiness and individuality It could be said that water bearers march to the beat of their own drummers—and they seek out others who have a similar drive to be their own person. He's naturally attracted to people who stand out in a crowd and don't necessarily follow all of the rules. [1] X Research source
- Is this you? Psychic astrologer Stina Garbis recommends that you "wear something unique, be different and edgy to catch their attention." She adds that you could "wear a hint of something wild with your outfit, like a bright scarf or brooch."
- Garbis also notes that "Aquarians are a little odd at times to many people, so they need a partner that gets them enough to allow them to be who they are." If you're a little weird too, he'll probably feel a lot more comfortable around you.
-
Optimism and positivity Aquarius guys have kind of a reputation for being crusaders who are out to change the world for the better and they need the type of woman who will be right by their side. That's why water bearers tend to go for ladies who have hope for the future and ideas about how to improve things for people—especially those who are less fortunate.
- Show him that you tend to look on the sunny side by not getting too bent out of shape when things aren't going well. Recognize that any setback is only temporary and that if you just keep going, things will start to look up soon enough.
-
Confidence Aquarians are not unique in the zodiac for being attracted to confidence! But at the same time, this is a special need for a water bearer because he wants a partner who is able to go their own way and take care of themselves.
- A great way to show him that you're confident is to ask him out first. He'll be flattered, and you'll also let him know that you're interested in him in a romantic way. He tends to focus on being friends first and might miss the romance cues.
-
Spontaneity An Aquarius guy is often thrilled to do things that come up at the last minute or go somewhere randomly just because he decided to. He also likes to leave himself open to whatever opportunity might come his way. When it comes to his partner, he needs someone who's also willing to do something off-the-cuff or go in a different direction than planned if circumstances call for it.
- For example, if the two of you are talking about your favorite restaurants and you mention one about 2 hours away in a nearby town, you might suggest that the two of you drive there for dinner.
- Be honest about any limitations you might have so he knows what's off the table. For example, if you had to go to work early in the morning tomorrow, you probably wouldn't be down for a spontaneous overnight trip tonight.
-
Curiosity Aquarius guys are known for their intellectual curiosity and their love of learning. He's always researching something and wants to share all of the things that he's found out, so he needs a woman who is just as curious about the world as he is. Even better if you have your own special interests and enjoy reading and researching as well.
- Show him your curiosity by asking lots of questions when he starts talking about something. He'll see that you're really interested in the topic and want to learn more.
-
Adventurousness There's not much that an Aquarius guy is afraid of—he's usually down to go anywhere or try anything at least once. He needs a lady who's willing to stick her neck out and take risks in the name of seeing and experiencing new things.
- Water bearers are also attracted to ladies who love traveling. Tell him about the last trip you took if you really want to capture his interest.
-
Sociability Aquarius guys tend to have a pretty large circle of friends and consider themselves close to all of these people. Chances are, all of them will be there if he ever has a problem. He needs his lady to be someone who gets along with all of them and can hang with him when he's out and about (which is often most nights of the week).
- This doesn't mean that an Aquarius guy wouldn't be interested in someone who's shy or introverted. It's okay if you don't go out with him all of the time as long as you enjoy yourself when you do!
- Psychic astrologer Stina Garbis notes that one of the best ways to get an Aquarius to like you if you're interested in them is to "get into their friend circle" or "adopt hobbies and interests that they enjoy."
-
Athleticism That water bearer you've got your eye on might not be an Olympic athlete, but Aquarians tend to be agile and pretty physically fit. Because he likes staying active, he needs a lady who has no problem keeping up with him. It's great if you're interested in the same sports or activities, but it's not necessarily a dealbreaker if you're not—he also likes it when his lady has her own interests that are separate from his.
- The sign Aquarius has influence over the legs and calves, so many Aquarian guys really get going at the sight of a toned set of nice long legs. If you're a runner, you'll be sure to have a water bearer nipping at your heels. [2] X Research source
