6 Zodiac Signs Who Make The Best Summer Flings
Summer flings don't mean a thing.
getty There are times when a summer fling is the best thing you can do for yourself. Since a summer fling is supposed to be enjoyable, without drama, and fun, there are some zodiac signs who make the best summer romances.
When choosing a summer fling, you can always consult astrology to determine someone's positive and negative personality traits. You can also check their horoscope to see if they are the kind of person who can shake up your life in a good way and won’t cause you any emotional distress or upheaval.
Often times, summer flings happen when we’re away from home, and they allow you to experience being with someone you normally might not fall for. You know that a relationship between you and your Italian tour guide probably won’t be long-term, but that doesn't mean you can’t have fun with them.
One of the problems with these flings though is not having realistic expectations. Most of the time, flings aren’t strong enough to withstand all the complications of turning them into a committed relationship, and it’s best not to try to force them into something that they’re not.
The best thing you can do is to keep it light, keep your expectations low, and be present in the moment.
1. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Have a summer fling with a Sagittarius and you will experience magic. Sagittarians have a way of opening up the world for themselves and others, and they're all about trying new things and stretching our boundaries. Sagittarians are open to whatever happens, and maybe it's this sense of wonder and freedom that causes incredible things to happen around them, or maybe it's because they don't try to control everything.
When your summer fling is over, you won't have to worry about Sagittarius handling it well because they'll probably be on to their next adventure.
2. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
An Aries individual is the perfect person to have a summer fling with because they won't take it too seriously. Aries will encourage you to take chances and get out of your comfort zone. Aries are lively, adventurous, and optimistic people. They're impulsive, so get ready to go with the flow and see where it takes you with Aries.
They can get bored easily, so they'll keep you energized and ready for the next experience. When having a summer fling, it's good to pick someone who isn't normally your "type." If spontaneity is a quality you'd like to try, then an Aries is perfect for you.
3. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius will give you what you need for a summer fling — fun, excitement, and the feeling of liberation. You don't have to do what you'd normally do or be who you usually are; you can be whatever version of yourself you choose to be and Aquarius will accept you.
Aquarians allow you to explore different aspects of your personality that you usually keep hidden. With a summer fling, you want to avoid falling in love and getting too emotional. An Aquarius individual would prefer no intense emotions or have anyone unpack their emotional baggage in front of them, making them an ideal candidate for a summer fling.
4. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis are naturally flirty and are gifted at keeping things light, fun, and flexible, making them a great choice. One of the best qualities that Geminis possess is their ability to make almost anything fun. Seriously, a Gemini can make being in traffic fun.
Summer isn't a long time, so you want to be with someone who is going to make every moment count. Geminis are also flexible, so if a plan doesn't work out, they know how to come up with a new plan right on the spot. You can have deep conversations or witty banter with a Gemini, and when the time comes when you have to split up, you won't have to worry about them.
5. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
You don't have to go somewhere exotic to have a summer fling, but a Libra will help you feel like a tourist in your own town and will help you see it with fresh eyes. Although Libras are known for their charm and charisma, they're also really caring and supportive. They can help you get over that bad breakup and help you get to a place where you can feel optimistic about dating for real again.
Libras are romantic and will shower you with attention. They're also very sensual, and after a fling with a Libra, you'll definitely have your groove back.
6. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
You might not think that Pisces would be a good fit because they're so sensitive and kind that they might get too attached. And it's true that when Pisces fall for someone they fall hard. However, they're so creative and imaginative they can be hard to resist.
If you're honest about what you're looking for and don't mislead them, a fling with a Pisces can be beneficial for both of you. You'll feel like you have a new perspective on your life and you'll feel grateful for the experience.
There's a lot that Pisces will get out of a fling — they'll be inspired and will have material for future artistic uses, and they'll have reaffirmed that they're not only lovable but worthy of love. Sometimes Pisces need to be reminded of how much they have to offer and how amazing they are.
