Do you have a commitment-phobe on your hands?
By Josephine Fuller — Written on Jul 04, 2018
When it comes to men, it seems like nothing scares them more than the word "commitment." This can cause major stress before you two even begin officially dating, and they can leave you with some lingering fears of your own once you do.
Running the risk of giving someone your all and finding out they were only putting in a dash of their own is definitely not something you want to do. There are tons of things that come along with a relationship; compromise, sacrifice, and trust. How can you know if your partner is willing to put in their part?
Using astrology, you can take their zodiac sign into account could help you figure out if they're in it for the long haul. Some signs are shyer and have trouble giving it their all because they’re pessimistic. Others will jump at the chance of love and give you a truly fulfilling relationship.
If you have a passionate Aries you might be in the clear, but still, need to be careful of falling into a routine. An often indecisive Aquarius could leave you wondering if they even like you, let alone be in a relationship with you.
Make sure you know your partner’s zodiac sign and pay attention to the little things. Make sure you truly know your partner and aren’t just making assumptions about what you think they want. Deciphering things he says and also paying attention to traits that may not be on the forefront of his personality could save you from heartbreak.
Here are the zodiac signs and how each will approach your relationship, from the committed types, the commitment-phobes, and those that run anywhere in between, by horoscope date.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
These people can be huge flirts, but when they find the one they hold it down. Your relationship will be smooth sailing, but avoid falling into a rut. Doing the same thing over and over can push the Aries over the edge and push them away.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
A Taurus is looking for an intimate and honest relationship. They will be loyal and committed but expect the same energy in return. If they feel like they aren't getting it, it might push them away.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
The two-faced Gemini won't always cheat, but any little fight can send them flirting with anyone they see. When things are good, they'll be great, but you still might catch them checking out other people. At the end of the day, they're still coming home to you, but they might make some stops along the way.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers take every relationship they get into very seriously. They will think twice before doing anything that could possibly harm your relationship or hurt you. Dating a Cancer will ensure you're in good hands.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos can struggle a little bit when it comes to hanging on to a relationship. They are very indecisive and can change their mind about something at any moment. They can change their mind from wanting to be in a relationship to want to be single, so definitely be wary when it comes to them.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos are narcissists. They love themselves more than anyone else, and will always put their own happiness first. This can lead to them doing things without thinking first, which can seriously hurt their level of commitment. If you're committed enough to show them what really matters and how to be faithful, then you can stick around for this.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
These air signs are always changing their mind. They might stick it out and be with you for a while, but they'll also flirt around and put you through a rollercoaster of emotions. Make sure you're ready for that before jumping into something serious.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios are very loyal but also very insecure, which can make the relationship a little difficult. They might have doubts that the relationship won't work out which can send them running. If they decide to stick around, don't let their bad habits sabotage your relationship.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
The Sagittarius is very confused. They never know what they want and make choices without thinking. While they often want a long and serious relationship, they can't really stick around and commit to just one person. If you want to take on the challenge, just be ready to keep up with them.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Take it from a Cap, all we want is tradition, commitment, and seriousness. As long as you give us that, we'll give you all of it and more in return.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 12)
If you've ever met an Aquarius you know they are extremely sweet. However, they are just about the worst when it comes to relationships. They are very confusing with signals and can never decide if they want to be with someone, or be on their own.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
A Pisces will treasure you beyond belief. They're very cautious and constantly looking for the one. Once they find you they won't give up without a fight and will be willing to work on anything to keep it healthy.
