He's just not that into you.
By Emily Ratay — Written on Nov 03, 2016
We all know that one person we try to make a relationship work with that just NEVER seem to go somewhere. Whether you keep going back to him or you try to make your differences work, you somehow know at the back of your mind, that there is no way you two will end up together.
Sometimes, it can be bittersweet. You try to tell yourself that opposites attract and that his quirks are kind of cute. Other times, and let's be honest, most times, you know what you like and this guy is NOT it.
There is nothing wrong with being picky when it comes to dating. So many times, it is obvious after a few conversations that the guy who keeps sending you eggplant emojis or asks what you're doing at two in the morning (um, SLEEPING!) is definitely not the guy for you.
You ARE allowed to have high standards! And that goes for picking friends, too.
Unfortunately, we sometimes forget that these types of guys aren't worth the trouble and we find ourselves in the same old situation we were just in last month. UGH.
And what's even more, if you follow your star sign, then you know that there are some signs that are compatible with yours and others who are complete opposites. Think of your zodiac sign as a guideline for the type of guy you should stay away from.
If you ever feel like you are losing your willpower to stay away from the guys you KNOW it'll never work out with (this is especially true if he has a nice butt), just refer back to your star sign to help you find a better match.
Trust me, he's out there! You just need to trust the stars to help you find him.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
You don't do lazy well, which means your guy shouldn't be lazy either. You waste no time with people who aren't always looking for ways to better themselves and reach their goals. Lucky for Aries, anyone who knows you knows how serious you are about this.
Unfortunately, you still run into guys who trick you into thinking they might be different. The secret? They're not. You are better off on your own until you can find a man who can keep up with you (but you already knew that).

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
You like to know when and how things will play out in your life, Taurus, and you don't take well to surprises... Well, big ones, at least. The guy you should stay away from is the one who is incredibly unpredictable.
It might seem exciting and different to be with someone who is always changing his mind and being spontaneous. But mix that with a "serious" relationship and all you get is a big mess full of secrets and arguments. You prefer men who are into Netflix and chill instead of talking you into making impulsive decisions.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
You believe that variety is the spice of life and you think that new experiences are what make relationships last. You know that it would NEVER work out with a guy who was comfortable with a routine: date night every Friday, Sunday dinners with the family... blah, blah, blah.
It might seem like a grown up relationships at first, when everything is still new and you enjoy the consistency of your relationship, but a few months of this will drive you nuts. If you don't have someone you can call "exciting", then you don't have the right man in your life.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
It takes you a while to open up to people, but that is just because you want to make sure that they mean something to you before you get comfortable. There is nothing wrong with this way of thinking, Cancer, but don't compromise your values for just anyone.
Sure, it might be exciting to meet a guy who makes you want to break all your dating rules, but if it feels more like an interrogation when he asks about your life, he CAN'T be the right one for you. The right man will know that you need a little time before you can get personal and he shouldn't pressure you into talking about it until you're ready.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
It might sound like a no-brainer, but you want someone who is going to treat you like the sun shines out of your ass. You might be a little dramatic at times and feel like you're asking for too much, but you really just want someone who will love you unconditionally.
This is where things get a little tricky. A lot of guys will see that you are a treasure at the beginning of the relationship and treat you like you deserve. A lot of these guys will get what they want from you and ditch fast, unfortunately. It might seem like you're left all alone, but the ones who stick around and treat you like a best friend, not just a girlfriend, are the ones who matter the most.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo, you remember the little details in a relationship and you think that is what makes you a great partner (and you're right!). You would rather take than give, making you a very selfless person. Your closest friends see this side of you and are grateful for it, but the guys you date don't always appreciate it.
When these types of guys see you being selfless, they automatically think that you are being submissive, which is definitely not the case. A lot of people will take advantage of this and think that they can be rude for no reason. When you come across someone who doesn't treat you with the dignity you deserve, don't waste your time. You need a man who will be as loyal to you as you are to him.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Your gentle demeanor makes you one of the best friends to have. You want equality in your relationships simply because you love to share with the people you care about. Even though you are a very fair person, your personality can change drastically if someone tries to get you to be something you are not.
You want your relationships to be as original as you and the right person will understand this. A lot of guys are intimidated by your confident attitude and will try to change you into the type of partner they want you to be. Look for the man who sees you as someone who can be different and original without needing to change a thing.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio, you are an assertive personality that hooks guys all the time. You are charming and passionate, making you someone everyone wants to get to know. You know that guys who play the dating game fast and lose are the type of guys you should stay away from, but sometimes you can't help yourself.
Many times, guys see you as someone who is hard to keep around, so they don't take the relationship seriously. They think that being dishonest and secretive isn't a big deal, even when it hurts your feelings. You already know you are perfection on your own, so finding someone who knows that, too, is just common sense.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Your extroverted personality lures guys in and your curious nature keeps them coming back for more. You don't need anyone to tell you how intriguing you are, as you already know how curious and energetic you are about life. You are an idealistic person who needs freedom and independence to truly flourish.
You find happiness in relationships that are both casual and serious, yet you can sometimes lose interest before the other person does. The people you tend to stay away from are those who make you feel like you are trapped in the relationship because they are so clingy. You need a man who gives you the freedom you need, knowing that you will always come back to a love if it is important to you.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
When you date, you often look for someone you can see yourself being with for a long time. You are incredibly family-oriented and having someone who understands that deepens your relationship with them. When you're young, however, it can be hard to find someone who wants a serious relationship like you do.
You tend to stay away from guys who would rather play it fast and loose, dating more than one person at the same time. You know these relationships never work because one person is usually more invested than the other. It is important for you to find a man that has a good relationship with his family just like you do. That way, you know that he sees your relationship as something serious and important.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
You have a hard time putting yourself out there sometimes, because you can be afraid of getting your heart broken. Expressing yourself isn't your strong suit, so you tend to go for relationships that are more casual because they are easy and stress-free. When you find someone you really care about, you are willing to do just about anything for them.
This is a great quality to have if the guy you are with is as into you as you are with him. Oftentimes, your relationships turn bad (for a variety of reasons) and you're forced to go back to square one. You know that guys who can't prove that they can keep their promises will only break your heart later on. You need a man who keeps the relationship exciting without the stress of wondering if you really mean something to him.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Your kind heart and loving personality make you a great catch. You love to love and you want someone who feels the same way. The biggest thing you look for in a relationship is acceptance, along with unconditional love.
It can be hard for you to see at first, but guys who try to criticize you for who you are aren't worth your time. You try to stay away from people who act like know-it-alls, putting you down for your kind nature. Instead, look for a man who is attracted to your selfless personality and sees nothing but the good in you, because you already know it's your best feature.
