The surprising health risks and secrets behind kissing
A very nurturing and sensitive sign, Cancer tends to love in an all-consuming way that can sometimes seem stifling to more independent signs.
Dependable and strong-willed, the bull has a definite penchant for the finer things in life. To win over a Taurus, you could do worse than a luxurious gift.
Highly organized and conscientious, Virgos have a meticulous approach to everything in life, including their relationships. They are great tending to their partner's every need.
Just like their Gemini friends, Libras tend to be popular. People flock to them for comfort or entertainment, and in fact Libras are at their best when in relationships.
The most adventurous of the zodiac signs, Sagittarius has a flighty nature, which can make them difficult to pin down at first. Once a Sag has committed, however, they love to treat their other half.
Intense and highly emotional, Scorpios tend to be experts at hiding how they really feel. It can be difficult to get to know a Scorpio, but there is something electric about them nonetheless.
If are there are two words that best describe Leo, they would be "brave" and "generous." The most creative of the star signs, Leo loves exuberance and risk-taking.
The most compassionate of the star signs, Pisces is sometimes taken advantage of in relationships. Pisceans tend to see things how they'd like them to be, rather than how they really are.
Endlessly driven and highly ambitious, Caps will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Unsurprisingly, then, a romantic relationship is not often at the forefront of their minds.
The social chameleon of the zodiac, everyone loves being around Gemini. Our Gemini friends are charming, chatty, and know how to work any room.
Aquarius is arguably the most unusual of the star signs. Aquarians are rebellious and stubborn, but also kind and empathetic and generally have a humanitarian heart.
With a sign symbolized by the ram, people born in Aries tend to be bold go-getters who aren't afraid to go after what they want. They love attention, in particular compliments.
If you do fall in love with a Capricorn, however, they will be as devoted and loyal as the next person. Try to lift them up with words of encouragement; you'll get out of the relationship exactly what you put in.

Pisces does not like to be alone; if you are trying to win over a Pisces, be sure to devote yourself to them and pull out all the stops in terms of romance.
For an Aquarian, being in love tends to mean fostering a deep connection and having stimulating conversations. In a relationship, they often need their space and freedom.
Scorpios don't have much time for material possessions, so lavish gifts won't get you very far. A passionate intimate relationship with plenty of physical affection is a much better bet.
They feel safest in their own environment, so quality time at home with their partner is perfect. Sincere and kind words of affirmation also go a long way with Cancer.
The way to a Gemini's heart is through stimulating intellectual conversation and adventure. They tend to bore easily, so don't let the relationship go stale.
When dating a Sagittarius you can expect to be spoiled–although not necessarily with material objects. The physical relationship will be a big thing, too, although less-so talking about feelings.
That's not to say Aries does not give as good as it gets: people with this sign also tend to be great listeners and more than ready to dish out praise and kind words.
In relationships, Leo loves romantic gestures and flattering compliments. The Lion is always ready to help someone in need; when dating a Leo, you can expect to be spoiled.
Sensitive and caring, the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are the most compassionate of the lot. They make for very nurturing partners, although sometimes they take it too far.
Libras are kindhearted and romantic and generally stop at nothing to please a partner. They make great listeners and don't respond badly to flattering words themselves, either.
Gifts can sometimes be difficult of course, so some people prefer to leave that to the Tauruses themselves. If that's you, remember that devotion goes a long way, too.
They don't necessarily want their partner to return the favor. More importantly, they expect their partner to meet their high standards and be there to support them when they decide to open up.
