Scorpios are water signs, so they’re inherently sensitive, feeling, and empathetic. They’re fixed signs, too; that means they’re self-assured, energetic, and a little inflexible. Scorpios are also ruled by Mars. This can make them a bit competitive (read: power hungry).
Show him that you’re the definition of faithful. Never flirt to make a Scorpio jealous. It’ll probably work too well, and he make kick you to the curb in retaliation. Be there when he succeeds—and when he fails. If you can prove that you’re a real ride or die, you’ll have his heart forever. If someone talks behind his back, defend your Scorpio crush. When word gets back to him, he’ll be impressed.
Scorpio will remember tiny details about you, and then bring them up later in sweet, thoughtful ways (like with a gorgeous gift that’s totally perfect for you!). He isn’t afraid to say exactly how much he cares. Nothing gets watered down—Scorpio will tell you your eyes shine like the sea if that’s what he really thinks. Scorpio will want nothing more than to spend 24/7 with their love. You’ll feel like you two share your own special planet.
He’ll still want to know that he can trust you to be honest. But if you have something tough to share, make sure you sugarcoat it for him. Offer him tons of reassurance when he needs it. Remind him that you still think he’s the best—even if you need a night away for yourself. On the plus side, his sensitivity makes him an amazing confidant and source of comfort. When you’re struggling with something, he’ll probably know exactly what to say.
A Scorpio might tell you a secret just to see whether you let it slip. Assume that everything he shares with you is totally classified. A Scorpio might not text you for a couple days just to see how much you really care. When he finally reaches out make sure he knows that you’re still into him.
Don’t stress about impressing a Scorpio during sex. He’ll know how to take the reins and make it a great experience for both of you. Though, he will appreciate it if you’re willing to try new things. He’s all about experimentation, and if you are too, he’ll find that attractive. Scorpio would also love a partner who’s willing to be a little emotionally vulnerable. He’ll definitely want some sweet nothings thrown into the mix.
Your birth chart’s sun sign doesn’t tell you the whole story. If your sun sign isn’t technically aligned with Scorpio, don’t stress. Think of your compatibility in terms of your personal qualities instead; are you intense, faithful, and sensitive? That being said, Scorpio will usually pair well with Pisces, Cancer, Capricorn, and Taurus. It’s more common that he’d struggle in relationships with Sagittarius, Gemini, Aries, and Libra.
When you two chat, he’ll have open body language, a soft smile, and a piercing gaze. He’ll ask you tons of personal questions: “So tell me. What was your childhood like?” He won’t follow you around like a puppy, but he’ll always seem to be right where you are. Scorpio is super sharp and intentional—he won’t make it obvious, but he’s sticking by your side for a reason.
Take him stargazing. He loves all things dark and otherworldly, and laying beside you in the dark, he’ll feel totally connected. A romantic, candlelit dinner. The bigger you go, the better. Bring nice champagne, dress up, scatter rose petals—if he feels special, he’ll be thrilled. Bring him to an artsy event that you two can discuss in depth (poetry readings, concerts, art shows, oh my!). If you’re dating, why not perform some love poetry yourself? Try the 36 questions that lead to love. Scorpio loves romance, but it doesn’t need to be all frills.
Create a work of art in his honor. Make a song, a short story, a poem, a painting—whatever medium suits your skillset! Plan a weekend away, just the two of you. Nothing sounds better to a Scorpio than tons of one-on-one time with his love—so give him the gift of you! Throw him a secret birthday bash. It’ll be tough to pull off, but if you manage to take him by surprise, you’ll blow his mind. Plus, your effort will show how much you care!
