Any other shy Aries out there? So, I've been dating this Gem guy for a while now and things are going great. He's the sweetest and most amazing guy I have ever dated. I really like him. Now normally I feel like I'm fun to be around. And I've never had problems with past boyfriends because they were guys I wasn't initially attracted to or thought about romantically. The feelings grew over time. But this gem is the first one I am not only attracted to immediately but like right off the bat. Not going to lie it scares me a little... Ok a lot. Not only of getting hurt but I clam up around guys like that. Now I know he likes me. He takes the time and initiative to plan our dates. He texts everyday. And maybe I'm just thinking too much about it. My friends tell me not to worry and that they are sure he likes me. I mean he asks me if I enjoy the dates he's always so considerate of me and my needs.

I guess I'm saying I want to open up and be my fun loving and funny self. But when we're together I'm not 100% . I think I'm too much in my head and I try not to be there. I think my fear of opening up and getting hurt has me overthinking things and I'm scared of fucking things up. But I also know he deserves to see the real full me.

Any tips? Tricks? Besides getting blasted? How do I let down my guard? How do I stop overthink and just relax? Mainly I think I'm afraid of fucking this up.

Also, for anyone following. Nothing happened with Virgo guy. We're just friends. He's going through stuff and I can understand what he's going through. So I try to be there as a friend if he needs it. Nothing pass platonic.

Ironically, what I think would truly help you to loosen up and open up more, is by opening up! Tell him these things. Express to him your fears and concerns. Gems live inside of their heads as well, so chances are he's probably having a billion thoughts running through his mind when he's around you too. Just talk to him. That's really the best thing to do.
Co-sign this.

Any time I feel as though I'm getting lost in my own head or thought, I open up to my saggicorn about it. He often gently prompts me or invites me to do so. It really does help me immensely, and I feel as though it strengthens our bond and understanding of one another.

Either way, at the risk of sounding humble, Aries women are so naturally lovable. I'm sure he finds you insanely endearing. *^__^*

First of all here is a YouTube comment that I think would be relevant.

And here is the song to go with it enjoy. Hope this makes sense.


Great, great song. Thank you for sharing. That last part about how it's up to us to make it special really drove it home with me.

We've been taking it slow which I really like an appreciate so I think I'm going to try to just enjoy the times we share together and try not to think about it too much. Just be in the moment.

Thank you again that was really helpful 🙂

Aaahhh!! And that's what I was afraid of. Sigh I will try my best. I just know that even with things like that (opening up) I can clam up. Always just waiting for the right moment. I won't force it. But I think you're right. Being libra moon I've been throwing that idea around in my head but was very indecisive about it.

But thank you. This confirms to me that I should just take the dive and be upfront about how I feel. Which I usually have a problem doing.

Thank you Alicia!

Don't know if it's an exercise in futility to tell an Aries this but..😄 patience! The more time you spend together, the more it will ease. He probably doesn't even notice and from his inquiries, it sounds like he may be experiencing the same thing. A little anxiety from overthinking is fairly common and not necessarily a bad thing. It adds to the excitement. As an Aries, I'm sure you'll have no problem channeling it.
Thank you! That made me feel loads better. I try not to assume to know what people are thinking for fear of doing or saying the wrong thing. But maybe in this case it might help me over think 🙂

Saggicorn ‚‚‚ I like that. So cute

Eeekkk!! You and Alicia are right. I should open up. I always just have difficulty being vulnerable. And I think it's my biggest downfall with men. I have just been raised by two women who told me all my life to 1) never trust men 2) never depend on one. Probably screwed me over.

Thank so much for your input! It really was helpful. I now know what I need to do.

1) be patient (thanks chance)


2) make the moments count
3) and when the timing is right open up (lol still a scared wittle wam)

4) in the mean time hang out around him with my friends 🙂

Thanks guys 🙂

I am Aries rising Gemini and I honestly feel like the gemini part of myself is way more dominant of the Aries one, don't know exactly why. My male best friend is a Gemini and I think I can help you as I know everything about his relationship with his girlfriend (who is also a Gemini) and how he reacts to situations. In general he is a really really clever guy and he's heavily attracted to people who can keep up his interest, plain and simple minds are not the ones he appreciates the most. This might not apply to all Gemini but in my experience connecting with him under thousands of "intellectual" and "spiritual" aspects has strengthen our bond. Don't be afraid of not opening up immediately as Gemini don't usually require people to do so at the right beginning. You can gain his trust calmly in order to avoid unnecessary stresses; and trust me when I tell you they can sense if you are worried. I think the best solution is to go with the flow. Don't be hard on yourself and take the time you need because if opening up makes you feel insecure it can be worse than not doing so. On the other hand remember that Gemini have great minds and I really don't think talking to him would result in a bad situation, he will listen with respect to what you have to say. All of this is to say that rather than analyzing what you should do around him, which can be a very tiring thing (I overthink about everything and I know how you feel), just do what you think in your instinct is better (to either talk or not) and everything will be fine. 🙂

You know, it's something about dating Gemini men that I never felt secure. But I read on this astrology site that Gemini men like it when you keep them guessing. But the angst you are experiencing is the precise reason I don't date Gemini men; I never feel safe, secure and firm. But I know two Aries women who have caught Gemini men. The Gemini (notorious players) stopped cheating, slowed down, one married the Aries, the other - the biggest player in L.A, stayed with the Aries for 5 years and remained faithful. They really like confidence and independence.

I think you just need to be yourself. 🙂
