No wedding bells for these signs!
By Emily Ratay — Written on Mar 17, 2017
Commitment isn’t for everyone. I mean, I’m in a long-term relationship myself and I still get freaked out sometimes. Maybe that’s just my personality or because I’m an Aquarius, but whatever my deal is, thinking about commitment kind of makes me wanna break out in hives.
It’s weird to think about the fact that I’m not really a “relationship person” – and still be in a relationship – when my best friend has been looking for her Mr. Right since she was five years old and STILL hasn’t found him.
That said, she does know what she’s doing better than I do when it comes to dealing with the hard stuff in a relationship, which is why I always go to her when I need advice.
And just like my BFF and I, the zodiac signs deal with commitment and relationships in a similar fashion. It’s not all black and white, though.
Some signs (like Taurus and Pisces) love the idea of being in a long-term relationship, yet have issues with making big decisions or opening up to their significant other.

Other signs are all aboard the marriage train without any signs of stopping or getting cold feet... seriously, how do you do it?!
And for the rest of us, we’re just trying our hardest to make the most out of all of our relationships (romantic and otherwise).
But even so, we have the toughest time with marriage – just the thought of it can make us crazy! And we can try to make an effort, but unfortunately, that’s not always enough. So, if you’re like me, you already know you’re on this list.
But for the rest of the signs, read below to find out which four zodiac signs are the BIGGEST commitment-phobes.
ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Aries ALWAYS plays by her own set of rules, so if the two of you don’t lay everything out on the table at the beginning of the relationship, it’ll only blow up in your face later on. Why? Because even if you assume that Aries will relax after being in a long-term relationship for a while, you’ll soon realize that isn’t how this sign work at all.
It’s not so much that Aries worries about losing her freedom after marriage, but rather that her significant other won’t be able to keep up with her. Or they’ll see that Aries’ number one will always be Aries and will feel like they can never compete.
And while she DOES like someone who can keep up with her, she almost never finds the perfect person for that dynamic.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
One of Gemini’s best qualities is her solid communication skills. That said, some situations are easier than others for her to really show off how she deals with a problem.
When it comes to long-term relationships and commitment, her indecisiveness can overshadow any communication whatsoever.
When it comes to casual dating, Gemini is a total pro because she never has to worry about making big decisions. If she feels like someone is getting a little too close for comfort, she can ditch them faster than you can process what just happened.
To this sign, commitment means facing everything you’re afraid of at once without any of the answers, which is NOT something Gemini is good at.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 19)
Sagittarius is happiest when she’s having a good time alone or with friends. Even when she’s in a relationship, she likes things to be easy and uncomplicated. If things start to get serious, it might feel like she’s pulling away a bit; it’s best not to push her until she’s certain of what she wants out of the relationship otherwise, she’ll disappear for good.
Commitment to a Sagittarius is a curious thing. At first, it might seem like she is having a good time and getting comfortable with the idea of a long-term relationship. But once she realizes that she’s in it for the long haul, she’ll start acting more like her old self (the party girl) because she’s starting to worry about how much freedom she still has with her significant other.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Aquarius is her best self in relationships that are based on deep connections and very close friendships. It can be hard to tell what she’s thinking, so take your relationship to the next level at your own risk. When it comes to commitment, even the smallest things can drive Aquarius away.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been together for 6 months or 6 years, everything can change on a dime when you’re with her. If you don’t let her set the pace, you’ll never stand a chance.
That said, it can feel like everything is going right until all of a sudden, she can’t handle it anymore. And unfortunately, there’s no way to know exactly what happened.
