Reasons why you should date an Aquarius.

It's a new month, so here's another guest post for Love Out Loud Asia!

I don't know if it's the same for every other Gemini women but I definitely hit it off well with Aquarius men. Whether he was my puppy love in primary school, biggest crush in secondary school, sweetest eyecandy in college, goofy buddy or first true love, they were surprisingly all born under the water bearer constellation. Sometimes I wonder if they're all just uncanny coincidences (what are the odds) or fate's way of telling me which horoscope suits me best. Either way, here's some reasons why I'm naturally attracted to Aquarians and sure as hell love being around them.

"What a large volume of adventures may be grasped within the span of his little life by him who interests his heart in everything."

- Laurence Sterne

Aquarians are a smart lot. It's both unfair and fascinating at the same time how even the lazy ones make achieving good grades seem so effortless! But who doesn't love an intelligent man who yearns to learn about everything this entire universe has to offer? A heads up if you're dating an Aquarian -- there's possibly nothing else that could make an Aquarian's heart beat faster than the hunger for knowledge and a partner who is able to feed that with wits. Being with such an inquisitive mind will broaden your horizons 'cause the two of you will constantly seek new adventures (which leads us to the point below) and learn new stuff together.

"Lots of people like rainbows. Children make wishes on them, artists paint them, dreamers chase them, but the Aquarian is ahead of everybody. He lives on one. What's more, he's taken it apart and examined it, piece by piece, colour by colour, and he still believes in it. It isn't easy to believe in something after you know what it's really like, but the Aquarian is essentially a realist, even though his address is tomorrow, with a wild-blue-yonder zip code."
- Linda Goodman

The Aquarius is consumed by wanderlust. Their love for adventures fuels them to travel and explore at every opportunity they get. Travelling with your partner is probably the best way to find out if he is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with 'cause this is the time you discover his bad habits and weird quirks. It's a double edged sword really. If you two can travel without clashing with each other, you know he's a keeper. Otherwise, there's a lot more to work on or maybe even reconsider the relationship.

"The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives."

- Anthony Robbins

Geminis are known to put a premium on communication; they absolutely love conversations that are intellectually stimulating or captivating. Boy, am I glad that Aquarians share the same sentiment. In a relationship, it's crucial to find someone who is able to hold a conversation and comfortable in discussing about everything with you. More importantly, you'd want your other half to be your better half (which comes instinctively for Aquarians 'cause of their optimistic nature) when life throws you lemons. They somehow miraculously work their magic and get you out from your turmoil. And in the long run, you'll start to realize that their optimism is so overpowering that it rubs off on you. Being a good communicator is not the only amazing trait of Aquarians. They're blessed with a great sense of humour that will leave you laughing even on days when you don't even feel like smiling. There's hardly ever a dull moment with them! 

"The more you try to hold on to Aquarius lovers, the more you will feel them slipping like water through your fingers."
- Gary Goldschneider's

With a very strong sense of themselves, Aquarians adore and even crave for time alone occasionally. When you've been with one for long enough, you'll know when aloofness is on its way and you'll know it's space they need. Don't mistake that for a sudden lost of interest in you 'cause that couldn't be further from the truth. They just spend a little more time with their inner thoughts; they take time to enjoy the peace and quietness that solitude brings while re-energizing, especially if they're going through a rough patch. You'll also come to know that 'cause of their immense individuality, emotions are not the realm of an Aquarian. They don't like to feel caged or smothered. So if you're a girl who needs constant attention from your partner, perhaps you're better off dating someone else. On the other hand, if you enjoy having time to do your own things (which I do very much), an Aquarian is probably your best bet. He'd never try to dominate and take over your life 'cause he understands how important personal space is. He'll leave you to make you own choices, respect them, and support you. Bottom line, your freedom ain't gonna hurt his man ego!
