According To A Tinder Study, The Most Popular Zodiac Signs For Dating, Sorted From 1st To 12th Place!
Do you know that feeling when you’re scrolling through dating apps and wondering why some profiles seem to attract attention like magnets, while others barely get noticed?
Or have you ever been in a first chat when suddenly the question came up:
“What is your star sign?”
In our modern dating world, astrology has long since become more than just a nice topic of conversation – it has become a real compass for making decisions of the heart.
As an astrologer, I experience daily how much people yearn for clarity in the often confusing world of dating. Ghosting, unclear intentions, mixed signals – we all know these challenges.
It’s only natural that more and more singles are turning to the stars to understand: Is this person really right for me? Do we have similar values? Will it be harmonious or rather exhausting?
According to internal analyses by major dating platforms, information about a person’s zodiac sign is now among the most frequently used profile information worldwide. The younger generation, in particular, likes to consult the stars before a first date – quite literally.
Why astrology has become so important in modern dating
Before we delve into the big ranking, I’d like to explore with you why zodiac signs play such a significant role in dating. Dating has never been easy, but in our digital world, it’s become even more complex.
We have more choices than ever before, but paradoxically, many people feel lonelier and more confused.
In this confusing world, astrology offers a kind of emotional compass. It helps us answer important questions before we invest our hearts: Do we share similar values?
Are we on the same wavelength? Do we have compatible ideas about love and relationships?
Of course, your zodiac sign can never replace a real, deep connection between two people.
But it can offer valuable insights into how you tick, what you need, and how others perceive you.
Especially in online dating, where we initially only get to know each other through photos and a few lines of text, astrology often becomes the first filter for compatibility.
The ultimate ranking: The 12 zodiac signs put to the dating test
Years of observing dating trends, user behavior, and astrological patterns have revealed a fascinating picture. Here’s the comprehensive overview – from number 12 to the surprising winner in first place.
12th place: Pisces – The misunderstood romantics
My dear Pisces, it breaks my heart to see you in last place, because I know what wonderful partners you are! You are the born romantics of the zodiac – sensitive, dreamy, and with a love for depth that is rare in our superficial world.
The problem is not your kindness, but how you are perceived in the fast-paced world of online dating.
Your natural reserve, sensitivity, and cautious nature can be interpreted as a lack of interest in a world of quick decisions. Many potential partners only recognize your true value when they take the time to really get to know you.
Perfect matches: Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus – these zodiac signs understand your emotional depth
Challenging: Gemini, Sagittarius – the speed doesn’t match your rhythm.
My advice to you: Consciously showcase your creative, spiritual side in your profile. People who are a good match for you will be drawn to your depth.
11th place: Cancer zodiac sign – hearts on their tongue
Loving Cancers, you love with an intensity that is both your greatest strength and your dating challenge. When you open up, you do so completely – with your whole soul, unconditional loyalty, and an empathy that is deeply moving.
But in the world of fast dating, your emotional intensity can be overwhelming. Not everyone is ready for so much feeling, so much honesty, so much authentic intimacy.
Your sensitivity to rejection and your tendency to bond quickly and deeply don’t suit all dating styles.
Perfect matches: Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus – they appreciate your emotional authenticity.
Challenging: Aries, Libra – different speeds in love
My advice to you: Learn to regulate your emotional intensity. Show your wonderful heart, but give yourself and others time to breathe.
Number 10: Capricorn zodiac sign – Too serious for casual dates?
My ambitious Capricorns, you are the dream partners for serious relationships – loyal, reliable and with a consistency that has become rare in our fast-paced times.
In long-term relationships, you are like precious gemstones: the longer you are known, the more valuable you become.
However, when dating, especially in the initial stages, you can often appear reserved and distant.
Your natural focus on career and long-term goals, your aversion to superficial chit-chat, and your need for time to build trust don’t always fit with the fast pace of dating apps.
Perfect matches: Virgo, Taurus – they understand your seriousness
Challenging: Gemini, Aries – too different approaches to dating
My advice to you: Show your relaxed, humorous side too. You don’t always have to be the picture of seriousness.
9th place: Taurus – Reliable, but at their own pace
Beloved Taurus, you are the embodiment of loyalty, sensuality, and groundedness. You don’t seek superficial flings, but something genuine and lasting. This authenticity is wonderful – but it takes time. A lot of time.
In the fast-paced dating world, where decisions about whether to continue are often made after the first date, your moderate pace could be interpreted as a lack of interest.
You don’t fully open up on the first date; you need several encounters to build trust. That’s perfectly natural for you, but not everyone has that patience.
Perfect matches: Virgo, Cancer, Pisces – they appreciate your consistency.
Challenging: Aquarius, Gemini – too different speeds
My advice to you: Communicate your interest clearly, even if you’re taking your time. Show that being slow doesn’t mean you’re uninterested.
Number 8: Aquarius – A freedom-loving mystery
Innovative Aquarians, you are the creative individualists of the zodiac – exciting, unique, and with a captivating charisma. Your unpredictability can be very attractive, but it can also be confusing.
You hate emotional dependency, control, and drama. This makes you relaxed dating partners, but also difficult to read.
You never quite know where you stand with you. Are you genuinely interested, or are you just being friendly? This ambiguity can be both attractive and off-putting.
Perfect matches: Gemini, Libra – they understand your love of freedom
Challenging: Taurus, Scorpio – their ideas about relationships are too different.
My advice to you: Be clearer about your intentions. Your individuality is great, but a little emotional clarity wouldn’t hurt.
7th place: Sagittarius zodiac sign – adventure instead of commitment
Adventurous Sagittarians, dates with you are definitely fun! You are open, honest, and bring a contagious zest for life. You show people new perspectives and turn every encounter into a little adventure.
The problem? Many of your matches already suspect that you’re not keen on commitment. Your honesty about your love of freedom is refreshing on the one hand, but on the other hand, it scares off people who crave stability. Many of your dating experiences remain wonderful, but short-lived adventures.
Perfect matches: Aries, Gemini, Leo – they share your adventurous spirit.
