Do pisces like surprises? (Particularly men)

I have a fishy coming to visit me for a couple of weeks. We're kinda having a long distance relationship.

He's very spontaneous and obsessive and doesn't like planning things(is this normal for a Pisces?)

I want to entertain him the best I can while he's visting so I'm wondering whether he'd appreciate surprises?
e.g. arranging a dinner with a mutual friend but not telling him.

Also, would they like little gifts or keepsakes to remind him of his time here?

He would probably like to be told about the dinner party so that he can be appropriately prepared. Gifts are fine so long as they aren't generic, like colognes, etc.

If you throw together a little something that you made just for him .. he'd appreciate the gesture.

Private surprises he would probably like without being warned ... like if you were going comando during the dinner and made sure to remind him the whole time while eating.

No, we like to be prepared for what is coming.
We are not too keen on plans made so long beforehand. We'd rather plan something in the day or the day before.

When it's more private or intimate, surprises are okay.. But because someone else will be there (even if it is mutual), it's better to let him know and not spring it on him. A prepared pisces is a happier, relaxed pisces. Planning something too long in advance though, can be monotonous or make us nervous. We just want to get in there, yet still be prepared enough, without too much hassle.

A uniquely framed spontaneous snap-shot of you together or by some nifty monument or the like would be very touching and remind him instantly of his visit, though you may have to give it to him later on or in addition to something else, perhaps.

Have a great time with your fish, btw!

"like if you were going comando during the dinner..." 🙂

Thanks for all your helpful replies and insight guys. I??ll let him know about the mutual friend for dinner. Sounds like you guys don't like anything being sprung on you, which is fair enough. As a sag I love surprises!

Going commando and some stockings one night was definitely on the cards! 😉

@ Mystic fish — Thanks. I do hope I have a great time with him. He's one amazing fish 🙂

We don't mind things being sprung on us, in fact, much like you have experienced with him .... we are very spontaneous. However, we also have etiquette and nobody would want to be embarrased at a dinner party.

To be surprised in public like that where embarrasment is a high potential isn't a good idea no matter what the sun sign is.

You might frighten your Fish .. if you had that on your mind, then I think you probably need to be cautious when dealing with him, because you have the ability to not recognize what appropriateness is. And so you might plan something that you think is funny and the other person wouldn't find it so humurous.


Warning: If you do something to embarrass him, he'll jump stream

ok i am taking a pisces man out for bday and i am going to surprise him with some things. i told him i was blindfolding him so he couldnt see. he seemed very excited. im just listening to all the things that he likes and im going to plan the date around that. i think the strategy wil work out. he def is spontaneous.

The thing is ... Pisces people can suffer from social-handicapism if caught off guard, due to having two, fully operating realities. I'm sure people have witnessed a Pisces in public who stammers when asked a question .. it's because our mental processors have two places to run the information through.

Some Pisces are quick-witted and can handle their own in improvisation during any serious or uncomfortable conversation .. but, most Pisceans would be reluctant to join in. Now, if this situation is a tone of fun/ease and not serious .. then, they wouldn't clam up.


With the dinner party situation, don't be surprised if he seems a little anti-social, if these people he's dinning with are stuffy, controlling or appear like they are looking down thier nose at him.

It's not a formal dinner. Me and fishy met on holiday with my best friend, and the mutual friend is someone that we all met on holiday together. He knew her before knew me, but she lives in my city, so I thought he'd be pleasantly surprised. All four of us having eating sushi (his favourite food) and reminiscing about our holiday in January.

I will tell him that I have invited her too. Wouldn't want him to feel uncomfortable whatsoever.

So I told him and I'm glad I did because he was like 'yeah great. we'll have fun' which to me isn't really that enthusiastic.

Before I posted the question a couple of days ago, I thought his reaction would be 'oh wow, amazing. that's such a lovely surprise!'

LOL. Oh well. Glad I asked and listened to you guys! Thanks 🙂
