When Is He Going To Say 'I Love You'? Based On His Sign

When it comes to relationships, there is a lot of uncertainty. The mysterious male species often like to play the dating game close to the chest, and it's easy to be left wondering how he really feels. When communication is lacking and feelings are kept hidden behind humongous walls, deciphering where you stand involves a bit of guessing. But instead of sharing screenshots of conversations with your friends and analyzing his behavior like a team of detectives, the answer to your question could be written in the stars. When it comes to anticipating those three little words, a better option might be to look towards his zodiac sign.

Many of our personality traits and the way we act in situations can be traced back to our star signs, and this is no different in the world of love and relationships. While passionate Aries might surprise you with declarations of feelings early in the game, elusive Pisces might have you waiting for a long time. Hanging out to hear I love you? Here's an idea of how long you may have to hang in there.

15 Aquarius: Makes It Worth The Wait

You can expect to wait 3-6 months before hearing those three magic words from your Aquarius guy, but when the time comes, it will be monumental. Aquarius men are multifaceted and may leave you wondering how they really feel about you. If the energy drops after the first few months, don't be discouraged. Underneath all that independence and sociability is a deep want to love and be loved in return. Aquarians are definitely unpredictable, but once he's sure you're the girl for the job, be ready for him to express himself in a colossal way. After all, these rational water bearers are excellent communicators and when they know what they want, they go for it. So once this guy falls for you, you will know how he feels.

14 Pisces: Will Keep You Wondering

If you like to have all the cards on the table, you might want to steer clear of the mysterious Pisces male. These cryptic creatures could make you wait a whole year or even longer before telling you how they feel. Pisces are often very hard to figure out and are known for their emotional power, intuition, and wisdom. Although he may keep you close to his heart, don't be surprised if you're left wondering if he really cares or if he's just not that into you. But don't give up on this elusive SOB too quickly; to them, feeling love is much more important than expressing it. And once he's sure his feelings are completely genuine, you will know he is 100% committed to you.

13 Aries: Wastes No Time

If you're up for a whirlwind romance, opt for an Aries! These adventurous dudes will let you know very early in the game if they're feeling the love-within the first 6 weeks. The delivery may take you by surprise and come at the most unexpected moment, but that's what these guys are all about. The archetype of raw masculinity, Aries are inherently dominant and will go after what they want with full force. So if you manage to bag one of these firecrackers, your relationship status will be validated fast. There is, however, one main drawback to dating these passionate guys-Aries men are notoriously difficult to tame. So although the declaration of love may come very quickly, the relationship burn could be even quicker.

12 Taurus: Don't Hold Your Breath

If you're getting serious with a Taurus man, sit back, relax, and get comfortable, because it's going to be some time before you hear the L word- a year or more. These guys are considered bull-headed. They're not going to act on or say anything until they're ready and they don't like to be pressured. They're also not so good with words, so don't expect him to come out with any declarations of love until he's sure you're the one. So if you like living life in the fast lane, it's probably better to steer clear of Mr. slow and steady. If however, you're all in for the slow burn, Taurus men make great partners; they're extremely trustworthy, fantastic listeners, and will provide you all kinds of security.

11 Gemini: Needs Time To Analyze On Both Sides

Being the sign of the twins, and often being associated with having two faces, Gemini guys analyze situations on both sides. If it's been 6 months and he hasn't said those important words yet, all hope is not lost. He's probably just going through the final stages of his analyses. Hang in there! However, your Gemini fling might be unpredictable. Be prepared for his emotions and feelings to fluctuate; he will be all about something up until a point, and then drop it like a bad habit. That's the main downfall of the Gemini guy-he can be very fickle. But don't let this put you off, these duel natured dudes possess many charming characteristics, and you can be sure that they will keep the relationship interesting.

10 Cancer: Sometimes Jumps The Gun

If early declarations of love freak you out, run far away from the Cancerian man. These guys are all about the fast burn and will let you know how they feel as early as 2 weeks into dating. They also tend to get attached very easily, so if you like to have time to feel out a situation, be warned that he may latch on like an octopus. Cancerians are loyal and dependable partners, but their honeymoon phase is very intense; they're the kind of guy who will ask you to move in very early. And while they are true romantics, make sure the feelings are for real and not driven by hormones or emotions. But if you can deal with the mood swings and occasional selfishness, you'll end up with a super supportive guy who isn't scared to actually talk about his feelings.

9 Leo: Won't Keep You Waiting

Similar to Cancer, Leos won't keep you wondering how they feel about you. 1-2 months into the relationship and you'll know if this guy sees you in his future long-term. These guys are very ambitious and go after what they want in life, including relationships. This means you can expect to be wined and dined as he lures you into his love web. He is a gentleman but also likes to be the dominant one in the relationship. Being a fire sign, he can sometimes be conceited or arrogant, but also passionate, warm-hearted, and funny. Leo loves to know what they want, and if you're one of their goals, you can be sure they'll be trying to win you over quite early in the game.

8 Virgo: Follows A Traditional Timeframe

In the middle of the road sits the Virgos, who will tend to spill the beans 3-6 months into the relationship. They are romantics at heart, so you will be swept off your feet, but their traditional side will keep you waiting a little longer to hear those three words. Loyal and kind, Virgo guys aren't a bad catch either. They tend to be perfectionists and will wait for the right time and moment to tell you how they feel. Virgos have a cool exterior, but this is balanced by a somewhat sensitive interior. If you're looking for a crazy, unpredictable romance, a Virgo man isn't likely to be your Chuck Bass. But if a reliable, friendly guy sounds like your cup of tea, Mr. Virgo may just be your dream catch.

7 Libra: The Most Unpredictable Of All

It's impossible to say with this lot-it could be 1 week; you could be waiting forever. Changeable Libras might show you how they feel with acts of affection, but words are not their strongest suit. And although they may shower you with attention early on, the ETA for those magic words could be eternal. Alternatively, if he makes his mind up quickly, you may be surprised early on in the romance. In saying that, Libra men are actually quite balanced. He might keep you on your toes in terms of holding off on the “I love you,” but he is fair and a sign for partnership and equality. So although you might have to be patient with these charismatic specimens, the wait will most certainly be worthwhile.

6 Scorpio: Will Tell You Early If It's Right

Scorpio guys are known for being passionate, but also mysterious and secretive, so, all in all, you should hear an “I love you” within the first six months of seeing him. And a bit of mind-reading might be necessary at times to figure out how he really feels: Scorpios have their poker-face nailed. But don't be too discouraged by his icy exterior; if you're compatible with this often serious creature, he won't be scared to be verbal about his feelings in the early days. Scorpio guys are fearless and ambitious, so if he is determined to have a lasting relationship with you, you will know about it. Just be warned: you can never tame Mr. stubborn Scorpio. He is very independent.

5 Sagittarius: The Sooner The Better

If you're an impatient gal, Sagittarian guys should be on your radar. Adventurous and wild at heart, these exciting dudes don't shy away from sharing their feelings or making grand declarations of love-often within only weeks. If you're a kindred spirit, they won't waste any time in letting you know how they feel. And even if things don't work out, they're likely to keep you close to their hearts. But be aware, with this child-like excitement comes stubbornness. Sagittarians tend to become restless and value their freedom, so if you're a stage five clinger, don't expect him to be around for long. These guys are determined to live their lives carefree and to the fullest, so unless you can keep up, you might be left behind.

4 Capricorn: Takes Their Time

If you're looking for the slow burn, a Capricorn man may be the way to go. These responsible dudes need to feel secure and comfortable in a relationship before they go bringing out the big guns-waiting 6-8 months before making the big announcement. However, sticking around for this steady pace will really pay off if you want a guy who will make the perfect lifelong partner. Capricorns are great listeners, friends, and generally, make great companions. On the downside, they tend to err on the side of workaholic and can sometimes be a bit condescending. However, if you can deal with the occasional bout of “know-it-all,” chances are if your Capricorn has stuck around for a few months, it's probably the real deal; they rarely stick around so long with someone they don't love.

3 If You're Ready To Wait: Date A Pisces, Taurus or Capricorn

These signs are best if clingy guys tend to scare you away. In other words, Pisces, Taurus, and Capricorns are the least thirsty AF out of all the Zodiac signs. So get into a relationship with these guys and you can expect a slow burn and gradual progress towards the big declaration. This is perfect for those girls who aren't into cheesy grand gestures or whirlwind romances full of drama and intensity-so anyone who feels a bit nauseous watching The Notebook. Let's be honest, movie style romances aren't for all of us, especially if you need a bit of time to figure out if you're actually into someone. So if you're happy to chill for a while, you know where to look first.

2 If You Want To Dive Right In: Look For An Aries, Cancer or Sagittarius

If you love all the drama and excitement of a Nicolas Sparks novel, you should set your sights on an Aries, Cancer or Sagittarius. These adventurous guys are not afraid to leap into love and take you along. All about the fast burn, you're in for a wild ride if you get involved with one of these dudes. Be prepared to hear epic declarations of feelings in the early days and grand gestures worthy of the end of any rom-com. Just be aware that with all the intensity can come a quick crash and burn. In the same way these guys feel the love quickly, it can sometimes disappear just as fast. Be ready to keep up with all the excitement if you want to stay in it for the long haul.

1 If You're Looking For Romance: Opt For An Aquarius, Leo or Virgo

If you don't want the crazy premature declarations of love but don't mind a bit of wooing, an Aquarius, Leo or Virgo guy is for you. These dudes are level headed enough to take some time getting to those three magic words, but in the meantime, you can expect some good wine and dining. They may not get to the punch line quickly, but the journey there will be anything but dull. So enjoy the ride! The upside of romance from an Aquarius, Leo or Virgo is that it is well thought out and genuine. Their approach to love is a lot more level headed than that of the guys above, who err on the side of impulsive and erratic.
