16 Ways To Make A Guy Addicted To You, Based On His Zodiac

So you're trying to get your crush to like you. That's totally normal. This question has been answered time and time again throughout history. I'm not talking about just the history of the Internet or modern history, I'm talking about all of recorded history. Believe it or not, getting the opposite gender to like us is a big deal and has been for forever now. To be fair, there's no way none of us didn't believe that, but it's actually kind of unbelievable how we're so stumped by this question. There are a lot of answers to this question, but we thought we'd answer the question of how to get guys to like you with the same thing we use to understand ourselves: the zodiac.

A lot of questions about ourselves can be answered with varying degrees of truthfulness with our zodiac sign, so we thought it would make sense if we used the zodiac to do the same here. However, it's not your sign that's important here, it's his. Zodiac signs work for guys too, and believe it or not, guys put a lot of stock in them too. Here are sixteen ways to make guys totally addicted to you based on their zodiac sign. You can use any one of these tips on just about any guy, but it's best to use them on the guys with the same zodiac sign for the best results. Also, if you know their moon sign, check those out too!

16 Make Him Laugh (Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius)

They often say that the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Personally, I think that's true, but there's an even easier way, especially if you can't cook. You can get to a guy's heart even more easily through their funny bone. If you know what makes them laugh, use that! Guys love a funny girl and they especially love a girl who's sense of humor matches up with his. Also, some of the best relationships are the ones where you can laugh together. This is a great way to connect with a more extroverted guy, like the sociable Gemini and the adventurous Sagittarius. However, the headstrong and determined Aries would appreciate this most.

15 Be Friends First (Taurus, Cancer,  Libra)

Sometimes the best way to a man's heart is to tone down on the flirting and overt romance and to play up the friendship. Friendship is the basis of a great relationship: you have to like your romantic partner at least a little bit in order to fall in love with them and have something resembling a functioning relationship. If you're looking to find your way into a more introverted guy's heart, sometimes it's best to let the chips fall where they may and get to know the guy on a deeper level by not getting romantic. This is a good way to go if you're dealing with a Libra, who needs to have time to size you up, or a Cancer who's more in touch with their emotions. This is especially the way if you're trying to get a Taurus guy to like you.

14 Find Out What He Likes (Gemini, Leo, Aquarius)

We're not defined by our interests, but we definitely put a lot of stock in them, which is why we're often so impressed by people who make an effort to get to know us by figuring out what we like and trying to get into it themselves. It's why we, as women, appreciate when a guy sits through a movie we like but that he's not crazy about, or why we love it so much when they ask questions about things that could be considered "girl things." This is equally important for guys. Maybe next time you see him, you could ask about the sports he likes or ask him to teach you about a video game series he likes. This is a great thing to do for the signs that are a little more defined by what they do, like the dramatic Leo or the intellectual Aquarius. This is particularly effective on the sociable Gemini, who generally makes a huge effort to do this as a rule.

13 Include Him In Things (Cancer, Libra, Aries)

If you want to get your guy to fall in love with you, the first thing you need to do is spend time with him. You can do this by waiting around for him to ask you out, but sometimes you need to take initiative and ask him if he wants to hang out. This doesn't mean asking him on a date, or even hanging out with him alone. You can literally just invite him to come with you to hang out with your friends, or you can tag along with his friends if the invitation is open to do that. This is a good way to get to know a guy who needs more time to size you up, like Aries or Libra. This is a particularly effective way to get to know a more emotional sign like a Cancer.

12 Be Direct (Leo, Aquarius, Capricorn)

While it's really easy to get sucked into the idea that you'll need to play mind games to make the guy of your dreams notice you, I can promise you that this doesn't work at least most of the time. If anything, it's honestly easier on your emotional state and just easier in general to be direct about how you feel and what you want. Guys don't often speak in riddles, and the ones that do often aren't worth your time anyway. Being direct cuts right to the quick of the issue, and I guarantee you that guys who are worth their salt will respect your aversion to playing mind games. This works best on the signs that really don't have time for games, like the ambitious Capricorn or the free-thinking Aquarius (as an Aquarian dating an Aquarius guy for years now, I can personally vouch for this). Leos in particular love this approach because their personalities are so over the top and dramatic that the directness appeals to them for its lack of drama.

11 Show Him You Appreciate The Finer Things In Life (Virgo, Taurus, Pisces)

If you're into someone who's all about the more cultured side of life, the best way to get close to them is to show them that you also appreciate those things. This isn't a guy who's going to be slumming it in any capacity, and chances are if you're into him, you're not the type to do that either. If he's into exotic food or obscure music, it might not hurt to show him that you're down with those things too. These are guys who love women that they can learn from, so if his mind can be opened by you, he'll love you. This is a great tactic for men who are more into material things, like the down-to-earth Taurus or the dreamy Pisces, and especially the no-nonsense Virgo.

10 Never Forget Eye Contact (Scorpio, Gemini,  Virgo)

There's a reason why one of the biggest rules of social interaction on all counts is the rule of eye contact. We're told to maintain eye contact at job interviews and if we're trying to sell something because eye contact is an indicator that you're being upfront and honest. There's actually difrerent things that eye contact can mean and different ways to do this, but just know that eye contact is really important to guys, especially those who tend to be more aware of social norms. A good example of a guy who'd be all about eye contact would be a Gemini, who's probably the most social guy you'll ever meet, or a Virgo, who's also pretty adept at social situations. Scorpios in particular are masters at eye contact because of their naturally mysterious personalities, too.

9 Give Him Lost Of Attention (Libra, Leo, Taurus)

Sometimes guys can be just as attention seeking as the most dramatic woman you know. Anyone who's dealt with a really dramatic guy knows this and knows it well. However, there are also guys out there who honestly just appreciate a little attention. They're not trying to be dramatic, they just want to know that they're being thought of. That's totally normal, whether they have a more dramatic personality or not. While showing your guy attention is appreciated by all guys, it's also much appreciated by guys who have a bit of a dramatic flair, like Leos, who basically need applause to live. This also isn't a bad tack for a Taurus guy, who's often so used to be stubborn and stoic that they appreciate attention a lot. Libras especially appreciate this because they like spending time with people they like.

8 Make The Effort To Understand Them (Aquarius, Scorpio, Capricorn)

While there are some guys who appreciate a girl who doesn't really understand them, the general rule is that you should put as much effort into understanding a guy's mindset that they put into understanding yours. The best way to do that is to get to know the guy and commiserate with them on a deeper level. This doesn't just mean finding out what they like and trying to get into that yourself. That's actually not as important as learning what makes them tick and allowing them to get to know you. The guys who will appreciate this most are the guys who are generally thinking on another level to begin with, like Scorpios and Capricorns, who are both really ambitious and don't like dealing with shallowness. This is especially effective on Aquarians, who are generally thinking on several levels regardless of gender.

7 Use Body Language (Pisces, Aries, Cancer)

While saying the right things is often important, sometimes the best way to a guy's heart is becoming more aware of the things that both of you aren't saying. Use body language to say the things you might not be ready to say out loud, and the more perceptive guys will pick up what you're putting down. Good ways to show that you're interested in him are to use body language that's open, like not crossing your arms, or leaning towards him when he's talking. Also, don't be afraid to innocentlytouch him if the two of you have that kind of relationship. This kind of thing works best on guys who are more perceptive of body language, like Cancer guys who wear their hearts on their sleeves, Aries guys who are good at all kinds of communications, and Pisces, who tend to communicate on a few different levels anyway.

6 Be A Person Who Trusts Their Gut (Fire Signs- Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Is your gut telling you to go for it with this guy? Listen to your gut. There is nothing a Fire sign like Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius will respect more than a girl who listens to her gut. This is honestly a great quality to have in your life in general, so I'd do this whether I wanted to get a guy to fall in loe with me or not. These are men who are all about gut feelings and listening to the call of adventure, so if they like you, they're going to know it, and they're going to jump in with you no matter how nervous both of you are. Being with a Fire sign guy is an adventure, but if you're with the right guy, it's an adventure you're always going to want to be on.

5 Be Reliable (Earth Signs - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

For Earth signs like Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, the best quality you can have is consistency. Do you like this guy? Great, now show that and don't play games. This is a guy where playing games will backfire hard, not because the guy is above playing games but because the guy will simply take your mixed messages and run with them. If he doesn't know where you stand, he won't know how to treat you. These guys are a lot like the element associated with their zodiac signs: they're solid and reliable, and they're less likely to crack under pressure. They're going to want a girl in their lives who's as goal-oriented and consistent as they are.

4 Be In Touch With Your Emotions (Water Signs - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Water signs like Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are all about their emotions and they normally date women who aren't afraid to show their emotions and aren't in denial about them. However, these three signs go about that in different ways. Scorpios, for example, are just intense, and if they're interested in you, they will pursue you in an intense way since they're either in it 100% or they're not in it at all. Cancers, on the other hand, are all about expressing their emotions and won't want to be with someone who makes them feel unsafe for expressing those emotions. Pisces fall somewhere in the middle: they're emotionally expressive and intense about their emotions, but not to the same level as the other two signs. If you're a girl trying to get with a Water sign guy, this is all worth remembering.

3 Respect Their Freedom (Air Signs - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

As an Air sign myself, I can tell you that my freedom means a lot to me, and the same is true of every Air sign guy I've ever met. This doesn't mean that an Air sign like a Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius won't commit to you, it just means that they have their own way of doing things that absolutely needs to be respected. If they don't feel free with you, they won't feel free to express their feelings for you. All three of these signs are sociable in varying degrees, but they're also signs that value their own way of thinking. They won't force their way of thinking on you, but if they feel that you're doing that to them, they're done. If you're trying to have a relationship with an Air sign guy, the best thing you can do for yourself is allow both of you to have the space you guys need to develop as independent people while still growing together.

2 Be Spontaneous (Sagittarius, Pisces, Aries)

Nobody likes a stick in the mud, but that's a quality you especially don't want to have if you're trying to get a guy to fall in love with you. If you're trying to get a guy to see you in a brand new light, that means that you're going to have to get out of your comfort zone a bit. This doesn't mean doing anything you're uncomfortable with: always be yourself. However, it does mean opening yourself up to the guy's world a bit more, which can mean doing things you might not otherwise do. The guys who will love spontaneity most are the guys who are adventurers at heart, like Aries, Pisces, and Sagittarius.

1 Have Real Conversations, Not Small Talk (Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo)

There's nothing worse than a conversation that just goes nowhere. That's why small talk is often so frustrating. Sure, there are some guys who actually really enjoy the social niceties of small talk, but for a lot of guys it's just time wasted. If you're trying to get a guy to fall for you, show him that you're willing to discuss deep issues and you're able to keep up and even command a discussion about complicated, nuanced topics. Discussing deep issues is a great way to the heart of a guy who doesn't have time for social niceties, even if they're good at them. For example, Virgos and Scorpios are very socially adept, but social niceties are more of a performance and not a way of life for them. As for Capricorns, they're the most ambitious and task oriented sign, so they appreciate deep thought more than anyone.
