Why Each Zodiac Won’t Call Back For A Second Date

ARIES: They tried not to yawn during dinner.

They found your first date (and frankly, you) boring AF. Aries is looking for their ideal partner, and that’s someone who’s exceptionally exciting to be around. You weren’t worth the chase that probably would have been devoid of surprise. The Ram likes to keep it fresh and fun. The first date with you didn’t feel interesting or intense enough. Don’t take it personally.

TAURUS: You provoked their distaste. 

The Bull probably made you a candlelight dinner or got you highly sought-after concert tickets for your first date. Here you were thinking it meant something, then they ghosted. Chances are you turned them off by something you said or did. You might have let your credit card debt or Manolo addiction slide into casual conversation. Perhaps you were rude to the waiter. Maybe you failed to keep your freshly stirred vodka soda on the coaster that they so graciously provided you.

GEMINI: The conversation was lackluster.

Gemini never gave you a second thought because you failed to keep up in conversation. They didn’t think you have what it takes to hang on for the rollercoaster of your life. The Twin lives a fast-paced, social, and unpredictable life. They were likely texting one of their many options while your first date was still happening. When they excused themselves to go to the bathroom, it was for a few minutes of swiping. They had more fun in the stall than at the table. Don’t worry, they’ll still *heart* your IG stories.

CANCER: They like to leave before they get hurt.

You gave off baddie vibes—the dangerous kind. Cancers put up a tough outer shell, but they’re extremely soft creatures on the inside. They’ve been vulnerable with the wrong person in the past, so it takes a lot for them to open up. Upon the slightest red flag, they’re out. The Crab won’t risk themselves to heartbreak for someone they feel won’t be able to reciprocate in the way they need a lover to.

LEO: You failed to impress them.

The Lion’s presence is so regal that it lights up earth from space. You can only pair gold with something equally as shining. Appearances are important to a Leo. They want someone they can respect—in love and in bed. Ultimately, they want someone they can be proud of. Leo doesn’t settle down easily, and when they do it’s to be part of a power couple. You just didn’t have that *it factor.*

VIRGO: You displayed bad etiquette.

Virgos expect perfection in all situations and from all people. They’re super critical, even with themselves. Virgo is meticulous in everything they do, paying very close attention to detail. There’s nothing that goes unnoticed by a Virgo’s eye. You turned them off during the first date with bad etiquette or poor manners. Being late, using the wrong utensil, and speaking harshly to the waitress will put you on Virgo’s naughty list.

LIBRA: They have better options.

Libra is indecisive, but they know what they don’t want when they see it. They hate being romantically limited to just one person. If they ghosted you, chances are you weren’t even worth the fun and free dinners. They saw enough of you to decide they didn’t like you. It was hardly a choice—hardly a thought at all. You probably came off too strong or offended them aesthetically in some manner. Their ideal image of a lover just isn’t you.

SCORPIO: The chemistry wasn’t there. 

To a Scorpio, sexual compatibility is as important as trust and honesty in a relationship. They love intensely in all the love languages, but they express themselves best through physical touch. In fact, they need plenty of it to build something lasting. Scorpio longs to feel desired. They’ll forget about you quickly without a fire. Their ideal lover is experimentative, open-minded, and passionate—someone willing to taste their darkest desires. You didn’t pass the test.

SAGITTARIUS: You didn’t feel like enough of a challenge.

Sag is looking for their ride or die. They don’t settle down unless they’ve found them. The Archer is noncommittal and prone to dalliances. If they’re not even going on a second date with you, it’s because they don’t see anything worth discovering. You felt too easy, too ordinary, too unstimulating. Sag wants someone who feels new. The city is filled with thousands of you. You’ve reminded them of all the reasons they’ve been meaning to pack their bags and move.

CAPRICORN: You got on their wrong side.

You said or did the wrong thing during your first date—something bad enough to turn Cap off. Capricorn knows themselves well, and they have very strong convictions about who they want as a partner. Their whole life consists of hard work and planning. They’re not likely to go with the flow when it comes to romance. The Goat is very cautious with their heart. You won’t catch Cap wasting precious minutes with someone they’ve deemed an emotional risk.

AQUARIUS: They found you uptight.

Aquarius seemed attentive, into you, and super curious about you during your first date. You probably felt a spark and thought they could have been the one—then they ghosted. For a while, you waited with hope. The date felt special, but it didn’t mean anything. The world and everyone in it—including you—is Aquarius’ oyster. Aquarius needs to be constantly stimulated. They simply found you too uptight for the kind of fun they gravitate towards.

PISCES: The vibe was off.

Pisces are deeply intuitive and sensitive creatures. They’re highly attuned to the world around them. It’s almost a witchy sense that a Pisces has. The Fish picks up on subtle, almost imperceptible things that usually go unnoticed by others. There was something about you they didn’t trust or that just didn’t impress them. Pisces is incredibly romantic and doesn’t settle in romance. Your whole vibe together was just off.
