Polar opposites in almost every way. The Aries acts before thinking, reacts emotionall, is TOO decisive and so on and so forth. BUT.....in such a way that we are attracted to them, we see the opposite in them, and it helps us to understand what is both opposite from us, and what we truely are. The same goes for them.

As mentioned above there are a lot of "dissagreements" and "misunderstandings" but in a agree to disagree, or oherwise respectful way. Aries, when with Libra can think your a complee idiot, or wrong, but sit and listen and go back and forth with you until they either see/understand your side or actually agree. It works the other way too, the libra comming around to the aries (however in my experience the first is true).

You may disagree with them frequently, you may even feel that they are a step behind you in "broader understanding" but will never really look down on them, and they will constantly surprise you with the broadening of thier understanding in everything. They may be brash, reactionary, narrow minded but they are ALWAYS looking to improve, and do at an alarming pace. Not that Libras don't have any faults but Aries do tend to look up Libras IMO, and on the outside it shows, on the inside the truth is we look up to them just as much.

I am close friends with an Aries girl, whom was seriously seeing my best friend for about two years. We have all known each other for about seven years since she started going to our high school our junior year. Her and I were really close conversation buddies, I used to get off work at about midnight in high school, drive over to her house and pick her up and we would just drive country back roads and talk about anything and everything for several hours. We still talk occasionally, every couple of weeks or so we get each other on the phone. She "jokingly" always asks when were goingt to vegas to get married, I reply when we can both decide on a mutually likable place to live. She hates the heat, I hate the cold....that is the way the Libra/Aries relationship works. I rarely completely agree with her take on anything, however for some reason I completely understand it, respect it and no worse for wear.

One of my best guy friends and former room mate was an aries, we had our differences, too many to write, but he is a brother to me and I act accordingly. He could call me on the phone right now and say something was wrong and weather or not he asked for help I would be on my way.

Oh...fwiw and thats probably a lot because a sense of humor is really important to Libra girls.

All aries I have known, both male and female have an EXTREMELY quick wit, and a very dry and observational sense of sarchastic humor that knocks me on my ass laughing. I mean REALLY quick wit, I can fire em off pretty damn quick but almost ever aries I have known gets the drop on me time to time. You can't beat their quick draw tounge, when you get into humerous situations or are teasing each other you have to be "smart funny" because except once every while, they will take you in "quick funny".

They can both keep each other rolling for hours, and once you get close to each other there is a gigantic amount of inside joking that goes on. It's not the kind of understanding where you can always finnish each others sentances like Libra/Libra, but rather, you know exactly how they are going to react to something or how they will percieve something.

Whenever friends were over my Aries room mate and I kept the party splitting sides all night. Be careful though, it can get mean spirrited with a sense of truth in jest between the two signs. Both are very competative even though libra doesn't always act the part.

I get along great with mine, though with Aries I think a lot depends on their decan sign as his ex is an Aries as well and we are very different (she's very unstable, emotional, constantly freaks out). Of course moon and Venus signs make a difference too, but we have a really fun relationship, he likes to go out and do new things like i do, and we're both kind people but also stand up for what's right. What Nic said about noticing the differences is right on, I definately notice and wonder what it would be like to think things out so much (or at all!) and think it's actually very cute when he takes forever to decide what to have for dinner. Sexually Libra and Aries are very compatible, both phyically and creatively, plus it's cool because we can hang out intensely for a day or weekend and then do our own thing for a few days and everythings cool (unlike my previous Scorpio experiences where every moment away from them is subject to speculation). Both are witty and have good sense of humors, I find we tease each other a lot but in a fun, witty way. He's way more cultured than I am, which I find WAY hot and learn a lot from him. On the negative side Aries tend to have a lot of energy, and I know at times I wear him out. I also feel bad because he always seems to want me to decide what we're going to do, eat, etc., and I want to do what he wants to do too.

Totally agree thinktank, it's cool because I think a lot of guys get intimidated by the Aries independence/freedom thing, at least in my experiences they become suspicious or overly clingy to compensate. It's only been four months or so and I actually avoid talking about my emotions (deep ones anyway) so not too sure about how to get them to open up. Mine will suddenly come out with things (out of the blue, unasked for) so I'm thinking they just have to do it on their own terms, though at times I can sense he is trying to tell me something or wants to and chickens out. Definately don't be too direct, maybe throw out some hints or have a conversation about relationships in general. To me it seems that he tends to open up about things after we haven't hung out for a few days and then hang out. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Thanks QS. It is actually from Tuesday. An example of me instigating. I was over at my friend's studio and we, very drunk, went out for wings. On our way, we passed this cupboard in the trash. I rang the doorbell and asked if we could have it. They said sure. So on our way home, a group of us carried it home. Things kind of went from there.

I really like this photo too. Babysparrow took it.

LOL!!! That sounded like a blast! I love doing spontaneous things, just right out of the blue... Carried it home drunk? That is funny.

one of my best best best friends is a libra and we always have a blast, most of the time its me and him when we get to be drinking we will drink anyone under the table and party till wee hours of the morning...we get along just fine, he is one of the few people that just cant piss me off by whatever he does, crack me up maybe yeah, we always instigated each other and end up doing something stupid and teas each other to a point that if someone doesnt know us they actually get concerned and think that we hate each other, lol than we take it out on that poor sucker lol this is how we work

and girls girls, why would you want to force a aries guy to talk about his emotions?
do you want the silent treatment? or doors being slammed? lol
just be patient...i know i fire shit at random without asking and total surprise to the other person
just give it time, we have to know that we can trust you and you wont use it against us
don't worry we do open up a little but the door does not swig all the way open if you know what i mean , just a little so u can take a peak in the forbidden room, lol

Hey back to the sex thing..From a guy Libra's point of view. You all keep saying how the sex is supposed to be awesome between an Aries and Libra. From experience, I can say that wow!! you ain't kidding! LoL Problem is, stemming from something as great as that is going, could the Libra be interested in possibly forming a relationship with the Aries if he's really really attracted to her?
Cuz I know I'm totally drawn to the Libra, and whenever I look at him it's sad to say that sex is the only thing I can think about when it comes to him. I think the fact that the sex is so good, is why I want to be with him. Although, we know that isn't the right reason to be with anybody, but it's like a damn drug when you find someone who can turn you on like nobody else has. I mean I like the guy for other reasons too, but sex is just number one on my list of things I like about him. So I guess what I wanna know is since I feel that way for him, mostly sexual but wanting more, would he feel that way too possibly if I stay on this path? It's a nasty infatuation I have about him. I mean not trying to toot my own horn here, but the guy really isn't that attractive. In fact he's pretty big, ok he's really big lol and I mean wide big..I'm just saying that you wouldn't just go up to him at a bar and be like "OMG you are so hot!" he's the kind of guy once you get to know, you find him sooo irrisitable. Me on the other hand have to pry men off me. Which is where the "toot my own horn" thing comes in. Ihate to sound like a conceited b***h but, I happen to be extremely attractive and never have a problem finding a man. I have them lined up, but this guy- I don't know what in hell he does to me, but I'd give all the guys up in the world for him. It really sucks being in a Liberian Trance lol

"LOL...now thatz like turning Libra weakness on itz head. Anyways Librans are honorable."

Oh believe me I know. One of my best male friends of many years is an aries and what I learned from him was to sometimes just say F it and sometimes doing something weather it was the best option or not is better than trying to figure out what to do.

Librans weighing back and forth (indecisiveness) can be detrimental, but so can aries impulsiveness (decisiveness) and that is what I tried to highlight. Polar opposites. The correct answer is between indecisiveness and decisiveness. Knowing when to sit back and look at all sides and when to just go with your gut.

What you described sounds just like my friendship with the aries buddy I have always mentioned. we bring each other to another level when it comes to wit, humor and provoking each other. There is a lot of opposit-ness between my friend and I but it is so much so that we respect those differences instead of trying to advocate why one is better than the other.

"The indecisiveness is the real stickler. Aries want fast solid decisions and because of our impatient natures (admittedly), it's tough to tolerate the length of time Libras take to decide something."

Yeah, I can imagine this gets on the Aries nerve. But on the other hand we get frustrated watching an aries impulsivly make decisions without knowing the whole situation (reactionary) or try to use crazy logic to justify what they want into what they need. However it is sometimes nice to take not and give in and do as you and just go with what we want instead of weighing back and forth to come up with what is "right".

* Aries want fast solid decisions and because of our impatient natures (admittedly), it's tough to tolerate the length of time Libras take to decide something.

Aries has to learn to HEAR our decisions and accept them as truth, and not expect us to change our minds when we have stated what we want. 😉

I am really suprised at the number of Aries-Libra attractions.

'Tis tough, LS. ESPECIALLY when we do "accept them as truth" on face value and then find out flaky stuff happens, or they were half truths or the infamous white lies Libran tell to "not hurt the feelings of others." And, despite what others insist on this Board, Libras DO change their minds-----it usually takes a lot of time and a lot of thinking, but it does happen. (It also usually takes time AWAY from them to finally figure it out---which is kinda weird to us).

The attraction? Hey, you girls are BEAUTIFUL and we like beauty! You girls are SMART and give off this demure charm (a picture of vulnerability) that we Aries love. Yeah, we want to "rescue" which is a HUGE no-no concerning you independent ladies, but it's a part of our nature. And we seem to CHALLENGE you. Heck, I'm just myself and Libra Girl still thinks I'm a big mystery and hasn't figured me out. May never. We tend to make quick dynamic decisions and not ponder too long like Libra does. And we love women that are women! (Feminine---((sp?))) which I find every Libra woman to be. And, darlings, you are also CLASSY. Aries love, want, desire the BEST---and Libra girls are the BEST. First Class all the way.

kg, it really does taken a certain type of man to trust in his woman's independence. There's that whole thing of ENJOYING her as the individual she is; trying to get a grasp on the inter-dependence thing, and still remain true (independent) to himself---after all, that is probably one reason she was attracted to him. Hmmm. Sounds like BALANCING things---which you Libras are experts at and we other signs need to learn to do more. No regrets for sure! THAT's how we grow and see things from other perspective.
