First impressions are important.
That means that when you’re romancing someone new, the first date has got to be brilliant – fun, romantic, and memorable for all the right reasons.
That can be tricky to nail.
Need some help? Try looking to the stars.
Each person’s star sign can reveal exactly the kind of date that will make them smile.
So before you book that restaurant, find out your match’s birthday, then read on to plan the perfect date.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Aries has a pathological competitive streak three miles wide. The route to happy (peaceful) dates with an Aries is to find a ‘common enemy’, something you join forces to overcome/survive.
For instance: escape rooms, treasure hunts, zombie death mazes, paintball etc.
Basically, sanctioned warfare where you are on their side (never, repeat never, go up against them, because that date will not go so well…).

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Taureans all have one thing in common: a love of good food and drink. So, keep it simple and make the date a food-based one, and they’ll be happy as Larry.
Perhaps you make it more memorable by adding a twist of your own. Maybe it’s dinner on a river cruise boat, a picnic at a haunted spot, a surprise destination based on their favourite cuisine, a cooking workshop, or a food treasure hunt.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Think like a ten-year-old. Geminis need variety, spice and adventure (they get bored in a nanosecond). They need to be mentally stimulated at all times.
Think: circuses, novelty pop up events, theme parks, seaside jaunts, quiz nights, water parks, cinema triple bills etc. Keep this star sign on their toes and they’ll keep on coming back for more.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Cancerians love PDAs, oysters and champagne, melt-type behaviour and flattery, so whatever your version of romance is, dial it up and add some more.
Moonlight and water turn them on, as they’re ruled by the moon and they adore the ocean, being a Water element sign. If you live near the sea, a river, lake, canal, spa, pool bar… go. At night.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Leos love drama, noise and showbusiness, so tickets to a hot event in town will turn their heads. Without fail.
They love to show off about where they’ve been and who they’ve seen, so you’re also giving them a good reason to tell their friends about you.
Karaoke can work. They love watching others perform, and, after a few, may even surprise you with a turn of their own (whatever happens, give them a round of applause).

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Virgos needs to mentally prepare for everything they do. So, whatever you’re doing, give them advance warning, and explain the practical details (start/finish time, location, any necessary items required).
Their Earth sign nature makes them keen on the great outdoors – hiking, climbing, exploring – albeit in a low-key way. Nothing white-knuckle or extreme, let them relax.
Throw in drinks or food afterwards, which they’ll then feel like they’ve earned Virgos often play little denial / earn / reward games with themselves.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Librans appreciate the finer things in life. They’re ruled by Venus, so pleasure and beauty are their fave things.
Shows, exhibitions, performance art, museums, visiting great architecture, ambling in beautiful landscapes can all capture their interest and show you’ve put some consideration into this (which is what they’ll value the most).
At a pinch, a really nice meal will suffice.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Scorpios all have a dark streak, a liking for the occult and unusual, and peering analytically at behaviour that others find shocking, morbid or disgusting. Surprise them by going someplace horrific (they think their tastes are ‘secret’, so they’ll be impressed you ‘get’ them so soon).
Maybe a scary escape room with real-life actors, a horror-themed walk, Crown Court gallery, live autopsy, séance, ghost hunt, etc. Take a walk on the wild side with them.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Sagittarians typically adore animals (especially horses and dogs), so a wander in a zoo, shelter, reserve or park will give them plenty to pet and fuss.
If you can wrangle a behind-the-scenes feeding/grooming session for them (for the animals that is, not specifically the Sagittarius), then all the better.
If you’re not an animal lover then think twice about dating this sign – it could be a deal breaker.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Capricorns are snobby and appreciate the rare, the expensive, the high end. It reflects their ambitious personality and hardwired need to be successful. Quality and status turn their head.
Find tickets to something sought-after, reservations somewhere new, access (however fleeting) to anything the rich and famous get to go to.
They love to see how the other half live, because that’s really where they’re heading, too.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Aquarians have mega brains and need to be mentally stimulated, otherwise any physical attraction they initially feel could wither away. Treat them like a very desirable nerd and you’ll get the best of their quicksilver nature and humour.
Possible ideas? A day at a planetarium or space centre (they love space). Lectures and talks. Quizzes. Treasure hunts. A night in a museum. Think of it like a sexy school trip.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Pisceans are imaginative, spiritual and whimsical creatures. They adore all things magical and mystical – psychic readings, seances, ghost hunts, spell casting, pagan festivals etc.
What will really truly count, though, is that you show them you’ve thought about it.
They crave intensity and a genuine connection, so aiming to please them will set the scene for a great time, whatever you do.
