Here’s the Dating Red Flag Each Zodiac Sign Is Most Likely to Ignore

Love is the be-all, end-all of existence. As much as we enjoy hating on happy couples and cringing at cheesy romantic comedies, there’s a reason we always come back for more. No one is immune to heartbreak, so let’s discuss the dating red flag your zodiac sign is most likely to ignore, because it may just save you a whole lot of time, energy and self-esteem. After all, love can be just as exalting as it is destructive.

All 12 zodiac signs have the potential to overlook dating red flags and fall for someone that’s not good for them.

Because our desires often lure us into dangerous territory, it’s important to get to the bottom of where your blindspots are located and where they come from. What you’re attracted to romantically is directly tied to your subconscious hopes and desires. And because we tend to overlook red flags when we’re operating from a place of fear or “lack”, your attractions can reveal more about yourself than the person you’re actually attracted to.

If you’re currently feeling hung up on someone that’s giving you the ring-around, here’s the dating red flag you may be choosing to ignore, for lack of better judgment:

Aries: They’re Hot & Cold

Admit it, Aries: You love the chase. You may act like you’re too cool to participate in the primal mating dance of dating, but you know you’re turned on by the idea of winning someone over. Therein lies the rub, because it’s also why you have a tendency to keep chasing someone who’s giving you mixed signals. One minute, your crush seems totally ga-ga over you, and the next, they’re acting super avoidant. The push-and-pull is enough to make any passionate Aries feel hooked. This hot and cold energy starts to make you question whether you’re really the bad ass you claim to be, which means your confidence takes a nose-dive as your self-esteem depends on making this person like you back. That’s a fool’s game, Aries. You deserve better than someone who turns an innocent chase into an exhausting marathon.

Taurus: They Put You On a Pedestal

One of the keys to your heart is through gift-giving and being pampered. That’s why you love crushing on someone who’s got a lot to offer you, both romantically and materialistically. However, the problem with your attraction to status, stability and sensuality often leads you to lovers who treat relationships in a more transactional way. And because you believe a healthy relationship relies on more than a passing fancy, you may feel tempted to overlook the fact that your crush is putting you—or the relationship—on a pedestal. If you’re dating someone who’s starting to reveal that they’ve set unrealistic expectations for you, run for the hills. They might be in the process of grooming you into becoming a possession, not a partner.

Gemini: They’re Bad at Communication

If you’re a Gemini in search of a healthy relationship that won’t drive you to madness, remember: Communication is key. Despite the fact that Geminis are known for ghosting conversations and leaving people on “read” when they’re distracted, they need a lover that communicates directly and consistently. If your crush is taking days to reply to you, doesn’t seem interested in your thoughts and isn’t mature enough to put their feelings into words, I’m afraid to inform you that you’re walking straight past a glaring red flag. Resist the urge to play along with the mind games, Gemini. If your crush is passive aggressive, hard to read or just plain old stressful to talk to, you’re setting yourself up for a partnership that gives you way more questions than answers. And as much as you love a riddle to solve, what Gemini needs that?

Cancer: They Snoop & Constantly Check-In

You’re a highly sensitive and intrinsically kind zodiac sign, Cancer. That’s why you often fall into the trap of dating someone who requires a lot of reassurance. Being the compassionate, Moon-ruled zodiac sign that you are, you have no problem showing your love by reminding your partner just how much you love them as often as they need reminding. Unfortunately, this can lead you to make concessions that infringe on your privacy, such as sharing passwords, your phone history or even your location with your crush. If your crush needs to spy on you like the damn secret service, that’s nothing but a big, ol’ red flag, sweet Cancer. Take your good-natured heart and give it to someone who doesn’t make you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around them.
