I’ve always been somewhat cautious around astrology. I know my sun sign and the zodiac signs I usually get along with, but I haven’t really taken it too seriously. I mean, does the time and day I was born really shape who I am?
Regardless of what people say about astrological signs, through my years of dating and dealing with love, I’ve noticed a few consistent things about being a Virgo, my zodiac sign.
Many label Virgos, represented by the maiden, as uptight, dull, and prudish. But that’s not accurate. Like anything valuable, you have to put in effort to get to the good parts.
Here are 7 straightforward truths about dating, relationships, and love with a Virgo, the most analytical “maiden” among all zodiac signs in astrology.
1. We appreciate having a plan.
When it comes to loving a Virgo, understand that we don’t rush into things. We carefully consider all options, create a plan, and move forward from there. Some might say we’re sticklers for details, but we see it as being prepared.
Sure, a spontaneous road trip sounds exciting! But let me first map out our route, find good food stops along the way, and line up some top-notch Airbnb locations.
2. We excel as nerds.
If there’s one thing Virgos are good at, it’s paying attention to details. We thrive in the minutia. People might think I come off as cold. The reality is, my mind is constantly racing, absorbing all the details around me, whether it’s concerns about work from an hour ago or planning tonight’s dinner.
Yet, we Virgos keep our composure. Our attention to detail makes us excellent listeners, genuinely engaged in what you’re saying, not just waiting for our chance to speak.
Need someone to research something for you? We’re the go-to. Require someone to discreetly check out a potential boyfriend’s virtual closet for skeletons? Girl, we’re totally up for it.
3. We are fiercely loyal.
Once a Virgo trusts you, that’s it. It takes us a bit to get there, observing and analyzing everything before taking the plunge, but once we commit, we’re committed. It’s no surprise that most of my friends have been with me for over 20 years. I don’t make friends easily, but those who stick around and truly get to know me are friends for life.
4. We’re practical.
Maybe it’s the planning, analyzing, and attention to detail, but Virgos are the most practical among the zodiac signs. You might find that dull, but we find comfort in stability and practicality.
5. We’re selective about our love.
I’ve heard more than once that my standards are too high. Virgos set high standards for everyone, especially themselves. Falling in love takes time for us. But when we do fall, it’s for the long haul.
Casual relationships aren’t our style. We’re the least likely to have a one-night stand. While our symbol may be the virgin, don’t misunderstand; we’re deeply passionate. We’re just selective about sharing that passion. So consider yourself fortunate if we choose you.
6. We’re independent.
Some might call it being a control freak, but I see it as a healthy independence.
We’re unlikely to seek help because, with our analytical minds and attention to detail, we’ll probably do it better than anyone else anyway. Virgos don’t like showing weakness or revealing what’s beneath the surface, leading to a calm exterior and a do-it-myself attitude.
The quickest way to annoy a Virgo is trying to strip away their independence.
7. We’re discerning in everything.
We’re not just selective about who we love; we’re particular about everything. It’s our perfectionist tendencies and love of detail. We won’t settle for “just okay” when we know we can achieve near-perfection. This includes you, too. Virgos uphold high standards not only for themselves but for those in their circle.
