I am an Aries girl and my current boyfriend is a Gemini. We have been dating for half a year now (it just got serious), not to mention this is my first boyfriend. I was always scared of committing because my parents are very very strict. My parents are very traditional people, they like prim and proper boys, which he is NOT. Not saying that my boyfriend isn't respectful, he is, he’s just different than what my parents expect me to bring home. At first I was skeptical in dating him because he was my best friend, but recently I realized that I love him so much and would like to introduce him to my parents eventually. But I always get so nervous that they are going to disapprove of our relationship. He is definitely more out there than other people I have talked to in the past, but that just makes me love him more. There's one big problem though. He is VERY lazy but is crazy and adventurous which confuses me a lot. I want to do more things that would interest both of us, but he never wants to go out. I want to know how I get him motivated to step out of his comfort zone and try more things with me. Our communication skills are not the best. We are both very hard headed and we can never agree. He keeps his guard up on certain things and I want him to feel like he can tell me anything, which he should and can. He always seems so stressed and I want to be there to help him with anything, but I can't do that if he won’t tell me what’s wrong! I feel like the key to a healthy relationship is communication and I just want to know how to talk to him. If anyone has advice please feel free to comment. Thank you!
Communication with a Gemini (I'm an Aries)
Save yourself the trouble. You highlighted three huge red flags already, I'm sure there are more.
-Your parents don't want you dating him
-He's lazy and unmotivated
-Bad communication
Hmmmm. Is love enough?

The Gem I'm talking to is kinda the same way but he releases little by little; giving little hints and what not. He's uncomfortable with expressing his feelings with you for a reason. Either because he's embarrassed or you don't give off the right vibes. You have to make his comfortable. Try talking about your feelings more. That seems to have made my gem more comfortable with expressing his feelings.

Last Gemini male I came very close to had pride issues. My sister is a Gemini too and he's very proud as well. These 2 people I mentioned absolutely hated for others to see their vulnerabilities or appear weak. I never understood this as frankly I feel we all humans have our faults as well as our accomplishments. The only difference is the size of the ego I guess and how much one lets themselves be manipulated and controlled by their own ego. Just a thought.

Yeah... I dunno... I'm seeing a Gem as well. Do male Gems tend to show their feelings more then words? Like if they are always holding your hand/ trying to touch you... take you to dinner, beach strolls, etc??♀️
