What Each Man & Woman Craves In An Intimate Relationship, Based On Astrology

We all have our different desires as to what we look for in a partner. What they can offer us is a certain fulfillment in our lives where there was a void before. When we are with someone we know is not right for us, it is like they are missing something and there is someone else out there who has that certain X factor. Fire signs crave people who are outgoing and fun to be around. Air signs tend to look for intellectual stimulation and someone who matches their mindset. Earth signs need someone to match their living environments and who is willing to make them more comfortable. Water signs seek emotional connections or someone who gives them a feeling that they have never felt before.
