How to Date an Aries Guy

You've finally captured the heart of the Aries guy you've been dreaming of, but now you're wondering how to keep the fire burning in your relationship. Aries men are adventurous and tend to have a short attention span, making it a bit of a challenge to keep them engaged. However, if you're able to meet this challenge, the rewards will be well worth it.

Avoid falling into a routine. Simply put, Aries men lose interest when they realize the relationship is becoming monotonous. If you feel like things are getting repetitive, it's time to shake things up so he doesn't get bored.

• In reality, it's impossible to make every single day different from the last, but to avoid repetition, try doing something unique with him once or twice a week.

Match his pace. If you haven't noticed, your Aries guy loves adventurous dates with a variety of activities. If you want to keep him interested, you need to match this energy. When he asks about your preferences for a date, opt for an exciting night exploring the city instead of staying in.

• If you have to stay home, make it as fun as possible. You could cook a meal with exotic ingredients or even rent a Latin dance tutorial DVD to spice things up.

Move things quickly. If your relationship is still in the early stages, you need to accelerate things a bit. Aries men aren't fans of slow-moving relationships. You need to either catch his interest quickly or risk losing it altogether.

• Of course, you also need to be honest with yourself about whether you're ready for a more intimate connection. He might be ready to take things to the next level, but if you aren't, don’t let his enthusiasm push you into an unwanted situation. However, if you're ready, don’t hesitate—move forward with confidence.

Surprise him. Although Aries men typically take the lead, they are drawn to women who can surprise them. At the least expected moment, catch him off guard with something exciting and unexpected. If he feels energized by your presence, he'll want to stay with you for the long haul.

• On weekends, you could suggest trying activities like bungee jumping or mountain climbing, especially if he's shown an interest in such adventures. You don’t need to blindfold him and drag him to these places—just giving him a hint will be surprising enough.

Give him an experiential gift. Instead of giving him material possessions, offer him an adventure as the best gift. He’ll appreciate the experience of exploring with you more than any mundane object.

• Front-row tickets to see his favorite sports team or a weekend camping trip will mean more than a new CD.

Let him have his own space. An Aries man needs to feel free and independent, so he won’t always be inviting you to join in his new exciting adventures. Don’t try to hold him back—an overly clingy woman will only cause him to lose interest.

• Don’t get discouraged if he seems to prefer hanging out with his friends rather than spending time with you. Aries men don’t like to beat around the bush about breaking up; if he’s bored with you, he’ll be upfront about it. So, there’s no need to worry that his sudden desire to spend time with friends is a subtle hint of him wanting to break up.

Be flexible. Many Aries men tend to take charge in an extreme way and dislike being bossed around. In other words, you should allow him to take the lead in most situations.

• If you also want to have a say in certain matters, feel free to make suggestions, but make sure that he feels acknowledged for his contributions afterward.

Resist the urge to trap him. Unfortunately, many Aries men are flirtatious by nature. They might flirt with other women even if you’re officially together. This could make you want to keep him at home or cling to him when you’re out, but doing so will only push him away rather than making him focus on you.

• If he starts eyeing others, instead of confronting him directly, try to get his attention back on you. You could try flirting with another guy and let your Aries boyfriend catch you in the act. His competitive instincts will kick in, and he’ll come back to claim you.

Challenge him to win your attention. If an Aries man feels smothered by your full devotion, he will quickly lose interest. Instead of trying to pull his attention towards you, it’s better to challenge him to keep your focus on him. He will likely respond well to this challenge.

• However, it’s important to let him win in the end. Initially, act indifferent, but once he’s put in the effort to win your attention, let him know that all his efforts have paid off.

Be active in all aspects. Most Aries men will develop strong feelings for a partner who is energetic both in and out of the bedroom. Staying fit is one of the best ways to bond with him, especially with activities that challenge both of you.

• You two could race each other, play basketball, or engage in other competitive activities.
• Keep in mind that Aries men dislike repetitive routines, so your physical activities shouldn’t follow a rigid schedule. In other words, going for a walk together every day after work won’t excite him. Mix it up and try different activities daily.

Be in sync with him in bed. When it comes to intimacy, Aries men don’t need much coaxing. Whether you’re already in the bedroom stage or not, one thing is certain—he’ll be eager and will set the mood in no time. You’ll need to keep up with his pace if you don’t want to lose his interest.

• It’s best to be physically fit yourself, or you might find yourself worn out before he is.

Play hard to get. Unfortunately, Aries men can be quite selfish in physical relationships, quickly taking the lead. If you want to take charge, you’ll need to act a bit elusive. This will trigger his competitive instincts, and he’ll pay more attention to you as a conquest.

• Drop hints that you’re no longer impressed with his usual moves. If he picks up on it, he’ll eagerly explore new ways to satisfy you and won’t stop until he gets it right.

Don’t be afraid to try new things. Just like in other aspects of his life, an Aries man craves variety. If he wants to try something new in the bedroom, let him. If you keep repeating the same old moves, he’ll quickly get bored.

• If you’re uncomfortable with something, be honest and ask him to stop. Whenever he has a new idea, he’ll likely jump right into it without asking for your input. Only a firm refusal will make him stop in his tracks.

Support his latest and greatest adventure. Aries men are always seeking stimulating and diverse experiences, which leads them to engage in more unique activities than other guys. He may invite you to join his latest journey, or he may go alone, but regardless, you should let him know you are behind him at all times.

• This means supporting all aspects of his life, from his new business ventures to his new hobbies.
• If he invites you on an adventure, go ahead and join in with confidence. If he doesn’t, still show your enthusiasm without pressuring him to take you along.

Occasionally have debates. While an Aries man often believes he’s always right, he does need the opportunity to prove it. Occasionally, challenge him a little, but remember to let him win.

• Of course, if you have strong opinions about something, don’t let him overpower you. Being too passive won’t earn you respect, nor will it make him feel victorious when it's clear you're in the right.

Never belittle him. The ego of an Aries man must be handled with care. If you have a habit of embarrassing him or criticizing him in public, you’re causing significant harm to his self-esteem, and the result could be a fading affection.

• Making fun of his high school photos is certainly off-limits, and laughing at his mistakes with friends or family will only lead to major arguments, causing lasting hurt. While Aries men may appear confident, they are actually quite sensitive and easily wounded inside.

Comfort him with loving words and gestures. It’s a fact that most Aries men lack patience and independence, but to keep the relationship strong, you need to encourage him to develop emotionally. The best way to do this is through clear, tangible acts of affection. Deep down, Aries men fear rejection, so reassuring him of your attachment will be incredibly beneficial.

• Don’t shy away from showing intense affection. Frequent messages like "I love you" or "I miss you" work wonders, as long as he doesn’t ask you to stop. Similarly, letting him know you think of him all day is a priceless compliment that will have a lasting effect.

Be open with him. If you want to keep an Aries man’s attention, you must be honest. Challenging him is important in the relationship, but Aries men will grow tired of trying to guess what’s on your mind, so you need to be decisive and confident when it comes to expressing what you want if he asks.

• It’s best not to argue with an Aries man and expect him to figure out what’s bothering you. Similarly, avoid asking silly rhetorical questions like "Do I look fat?" He won’t appreciate being put on the spot, even though he knows how to get out of such situations.
