So you have the hots for a Gemini? Which one? I’m only joking, of course—poking fun at Gemini’s duality is pretty cliché. But although it's a cliché, there's some truth to it—Gems have so much curiosity and so many interests that they're basically two people. Which is exactly why they're represented by the Twins.
These super-smart, super-talkative air signs are social butterflies, and it makes sense that you'd be captivated by their wit and humor! But before you connect with one of these dynamic Gems, there are a few things you must know.
So what’s a Gemini looking for in a relationship?
Have you ever been so f*cking busy that you wish you could just, like, clone yourself? Welp, my darling, that’s Gemini energy in a nutshell. Symbolized by the celestial twins, this air sign has so many interests, hobbies, and passions that they simply needed to multiply. If there’s any sign that could be in two places at once, it’s definitely Gemini—so don’t be surprised if you find your Gemini babe bouncing among friend groups, happy hours, BBQs, and dance floors.
When it comes down to it, Gemini’s ideal relationship is…well, a plus-one. Of course, Gemini doesn’t expect you to drop everything and abandon your own plans. In fact, codependency is a total turn-off to these gregarious air signs. Gemini wants their partner to also have an active social life and to similarly prioritize their own interests. Why? Simply, managing two calendars is twice the fun for Gemini! Gemini may complain about being “sooo busy,” but the truth is that Gemini loves nothing more than running around town. Whether Gemini is single or in a relationship, you can expect these celestial twins to be out and about.
How do they behave in a relationship?
Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the fast-moving celestial body that governs expression. Accordingly, Gemini is obsessed with anything related to language: word games, puzzles, and trivia are some of this air sign’s favorite hobbies. Within the relationship, Gemini must feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions. Open channels of communication are of the utmost importance, so don’t be surprised if you’re contacted via phone, text, DM, and subtweet…simultaneously. For this air sign, expression is a form of intimacy.
Will the conversation slow down once you two cozy up? Not at all. Regardless of Gemini’s relationship status, this air sign is always on the move. Likewise, if you’re dating this sign, they’ll expect constant activity within the partnership as well. Do you want to build a stamp collection? Go skydiving? Volunteer at your local soup kitchen? Gemini is down to give literally anything a try! There’s nothing that is too weird or niche for this curious sign.
What are their biggest turn-ons and turn-offs?
The main reason Gemini wouldn’t want to be ’shipped is because they fear that commitment would cramp their style. Gemini needs to explore! Travel! Learn! Discover! And—perhaps most importantly—they need to be able to connect with people along the way. Gemini are chatterboxes, it is what it is! Schmoozing is essential for these social butterflies, so don’t even try to limit Gemini’s output. Although you can, of course, create ground rules with your Gemini babe, you must embrace their talk-to-everyone-all-the-time ways. Otherwise, Gemini will think you’re trying to clip their wings, which is obvs a major turn-off.
But that doesn’t mean Gemini can’t handle commitment. In fact, Gemini knows their life could be enhanced by the right partnership. So if you’ve found yourself linked with a Gemini lover, remember that nothing is a bigger turn-on than surprises. Don’t be afraid to book an impromptu weekend getaway, organize a spontaneous happy hour with all 200 of their best friends, or even pop out of a giant cake in your underwear for spontaneous sex. The more your Gemini boo expects the unexpected, the happier they’ll be within the relationship.
Their best and worst matches?
Not every sign can handle the twins’ frenetic lifestyle. However, fellow air signs—Libra and Aquarius—innately understand Gemini’s buzz. These signs are also natural wordsmiths, so they appreciate Gemini’s incredible wit and veracious curiosities. They can keep up with Gemini’s crazy calendar but also know how to establish boundaries when needed. On the flip side, pragmatic Virgo and empathetic Pisces may struggle with Gemini energy: Virgo finds this air sign quite unreliable, while Pisces takes Gemini’s “no bullshit” attitude way too personally. If partnered, these signs need to work extra hard to ensure everyone’s wants and needs are being met.
