Don't be too quick to kick them to the curb.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Feb 12, 2019
Have you ever noticed that there are some people who just knock your game right out of you?
You can be the most confident person on the planet and never have any trouble getting sexual partners or dating people who interest you... and then you meet someone and your confidence goes right out the window.
It can happen to anyone.
There are some people we’re attracted to that causes us to trip over our words, lose our logical minds, and generally become completely out-of-control.
Women and men tend to have different kinds of behavior when they like someone way too much.
If a woman is overwhelmingly besotted with someone, she’ll tend to get tongue-tied and shy, while a man might go the opposite way and constantly talk about himself or make a fool out of himself by trying to overtly prove how much of a he-man he is.
There are plenty of stupid things guys do when they like a girl.
Dating is a tricky thing to execute and we all can make some serious mistakes.
One of the problems of these dating missteps is that they can backfire so seriously that the object of your infatuation may be completely turned off to such a degree that they begin to actively dislike you.
When a guy is falling all over himself and acting like a jerk because he likes you too much, it can be difficult not to laugh at him or think of him as a jackass.
If you can get past his bizarre behavior and recognize the intent behind it, you may be able to see that he’s only acting stupid out of real feelings for you.
Since astrology can teach us about the characteristics of each sign and their behaviors in different situations, it can be helpful to know what mistakes men make when they like you too much, based on their individual zodiac signs.
That guy isn’t being an idiot, he just really likes you.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries will make way too many plans. You'll go on one semi-successful date and he's already invited you to be his plus-one at his sister's wedding or to go with him on a parasailing adventure. He needs to slow his roll because he's putting too much pressure on you. No plans for the future unless there's a second date first.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus is jealous of your ex and you've haven't even gone out yet. It's kind of scary if he's already acting possessive and jealous and you haven't spent a lot of time together. If this is just a small sample of what it's like to be with him, you'll pass.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Gemini won't stop talking about himself. You'd like to get in a word and have an actual conversation, but he won't shut up about his past relationships, jobs, and talents. You've learned everything you need to know — he's completely full of himself.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

A Cancer guy's major dating fail is that he gives up too soon. He asked you out once, you said that you were busy (and you were), and then he never asked you again. It makes you feel as if he didn't think you were worth a little extra effort.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Leos are used to just naturally getting what they want, but if they like someone too much, they can definitely get thrown off their game. If he's nervous, he may start listing all the women he's slept with as if that's some kind of credential. Since you're not going to contact his exes for reviews, you'll most likely just ignore him and pass on any future dates.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

When a Virgo man really, really likes someone, he'll try to hide it with a veil of mild contempt, not realizing that it doesn't add anything to their attractiveness level. While you begin freezing him out, he'll over-analyze everything you do and don't say, and then find fault with everything about himself.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)

The dating mistake that the Libra man tends to make is that they won't have any plan. They hope that playing it by ear and winging it will work for a first date, but they're not known for their decisiveness. The spontaneous date will mainly consist of asking each other, "What do you want to do?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" forever. Generally speaking, planned dates are successful dates.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

The dating fail that the Scorpio man makes is that he acts like he's had an overload of testosterone. No one wants some kind of overly macho jackass, and the insulting of others, flexing his muscles, and literally telling you how "alpha" he is isn't appealing at all.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

When a Sagittarius man is too into you, it's as if he reverts back to his awkward teenage years. He stammers and turns red, is clumsy, and constantly says the wrong thing. You don't have the time or energy to wait until he's comfortable enough around you to be himself.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

When a Capricorn man is overwhelmed by attraction, he'll become amazingly uptight and rigid. He's too tense and strict to have a good time with, and you're not looking to date anyone who takes himself so seriously.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius men can be great, funny, smart, and fascinating, but if they like you, they can appear as if they're not present. No one wants to have to compete with tweeting, Facebooking, or Instagramming to get someone's attention.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

The dating mistake Pisces makes is they make themselves the perfect friend and don't indicate in any way that they're interested in something more. You're not a mind reader. How were you supposed to know that it wasn't a friend date that you went on but a real date?
