Relationships can be tough, true. But it’s also true that some people simply suck at them more than others. And it can often be quite a dilemma for these poor souls to comprehend just what it is about them that causes most of their romantic entanglements to crash and burn into a fiery mess of broken dreams.
You see, the math is simple. One horrible breakup could be chalked up to a bad partner. Two terrible breakups? If we’re being generous, sure! Unfortunate circumstances, perhaps? But three or more love disasters and the common denominator doesn’t lie – the problem’s not them, it’s you. So, if you’ve been unlucky in love more often than not, and are probably wondering just what it is that you could be doing wrong, you’ve come to the right place! Allow us to enlighten you on just why you possibly suck at romance, based on your very own zodiac sign!
1. Aries (March 21st – April 19th)
You’re terrible at dealing with boredom.
You genuinely aren’t interested in commitment, unless you finally discover someone as adventurous and exciting as you. This causes you to experience more short relationships than long (and boring) ones. You’re going to essentially keep being a disaster at relationships due to your fear of being ‘tied down’ to a boring routine, unless, of course, you meet someone who shares as exciting a concept of ‘growing old’ as you.
2. Taurus (April 20th – May 21st)
You’re terrible at opening up to others.
As long as you come across as the emotionless iceberg that you currently portray, trust us, you’re going to scare away most romantic partners. There aren’t that many who would linger around in wait for someone to let down their guard and let them in. So, it’s essential you provide your partner with something in order for them to know you’re interested.
3. Gemini (May 22nd – June 21st)
You’re terrible at being a responsible adult.
Maturity is your Achilles’ heel, and you inhabit a world full of sunshine, unicorn frappucinos, and rainbows. Relationships, on the other hand, necessitate some unpleasant work at times, which you fail to realize, causing your partner to feel alone in their ‘adult’ burdens.
4. Cancer (June 22nd – July 22nd)
You’re terrible at standing up for yourself.
You’re in love with the idea of love, but abhor the conflict that comes with it. Since it’s so difficult for you to handle the accompanying disharmony that comes with romance, long-term relationships are rather difficult. You sweep your emotions under the rug during confrontations, which isn’t the brightest of ideas since they spontaneously implode within you one day, causing your relationship to demise.
5. Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)
You’re terrible at trusting others.
There’s no easy way to say this – you have trust issues. You enjoy attention and being wooed, but are deeply cynical when the applause and compliments cease. This can cause the buildup of toxic paranoia and distrust of your partner, which eventually ends in an ugly breakup. Solution? You’ve got to work at the root of your trust issues.
6. Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)
You’re terrible at choosing the right partner.
Yep, you pick real jerks (for lack of a better word). You gravitate towards broken souls and aimless wanderers, seeking to heal them and make them complete. However, relationships shouldn’t ever be a one-way street, where one partner does all the giving, while the other simply receives. This eventually causes you to burn out and give up.
7. Libra (September 23rd – October 22nd)
You’re terrible at knowing when to cut your losses.
You’re just too caring and loving. In fact, we would describe you as the perfect partner. However, since you’re so very understanding, you also refuse to give up when a relationship just isn’t working. You’re also tremendously loyal, which is why it takes you eons to get over a breakup. As harsh as it sounds, you need to toughen up!
8. Scorpio (October 23rd – November 22nd)
You’re terrible at letting people know you’re interested.
Those who actually like you can get exhausted courting you, as you hate being vulnerable and never permit yourself to return another’s tenderness and affection. You must understand that any healthy relationship requires emotional maturity. Hence, work on chipping away your icy exterior.
9. Sagittarius (November 23rd – December 21st)
You’re terrible at taking a relationship seriously.
You’re just too laidback! Due to your fun-loving and easygoing nature, you’ve let countless of healthy and serious relationships slip right through your fingers. Unless you sober up and let partners know it’s not just all fun and you’re prepared to tackle boring and tedious times with them as well, there’s no hope for you.
10. Capricorn (December 22nd – January 20th)
You’re terrible at understanding that everyone comes with flaws.
Being a perfectionist and having standards as high as the sky, it’s difficult for you to understand that simply because you’re rather tough on yourself, it doesn’t mean that others are the same. You’ve lost out on meeting several incredible people simply because of your stubbornness and inability to connect with someone who doesn’t meet your mold of ‘ideal.’
11. Aquarius (January 21st – February 18th)
You’re terrible at being humble.
You may be an intellect, but humility isn’t your forte. Your biggest flaw, essentially, is that you refuse to believe anybody else could be up to your level on a cerebral plane – a form of snobbery that can deter the most ardent of admirers. No one appreciates being looked down upon, so unless you’re willing to come down your high horse, expect short affairs at best.
12. Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)
You’re terrible at letting people into your world.
You can be rather intimidating to date, something which you fail to realize. Though you believe you come across as open and warm, you actually often disappear into your private little world for one. Smart and dreamy are attractive traits, but difficult to live with. So, if you’re looking for a healthy, long-term relationship, it’s time to welcome people into your mysterious headspace.
