Geminis are a real mystery. After all, this is the sign of the twins, making them dual personalities and easily subject to change. Knowing their dating profile gives you a heads up on how to handle them, and what to expect. One thing is certain – a Gemini will always keep you guessing and the relationship will never, ever be boring. Plus, you have the added benefit of them always keeping you entertained with their hilarious jokes, brilliant mind and sharp wit. Sure, they can be a little, well, unreliable, but that all adds to the excitement, right? Right!
Here’s a breakdown of what it’s like dating a Gemini.
Dating a Gemini
Geminis are a little tough to pin down at first. They have so many activities and things that they love to do, so when you start dating them, you’ll have to fit into their schedule. Don’t let this worry you or bring up insecurities. Over time, if the Gemini continues to find you interesting, they’ll draw closer and closer and include you in their hobbies. One thing that they need in any relationship is someone who can match them on an intellectual level. This means that they need to be able to talk to you, and feel heard. Starting the relationship on a good mental foot is key if you’d like to keep the Gemini’s interest. They’ll also enjoy a variety of different kinds of dates, so don’t be afraid to suggest and initiate all kinds of activities. The more diversity and variety that you’re open to, the better for the relationship in the long run.

Communicating With a Gemini
Communication is a Gemini’s number-one need in a relationship, when dating a Gemini. If the communication isn’t good, then things are likely to fizzle out fast. Now, the thing is, you need to be a very, very good listener, because your Gemini guy or gal is likely to talk a mile a minute. They’ll even trip and stumble over their words in their excitement and enthusiasm to communicate an idea. Sometimes, they’ll just say a whole bunch of words and babble nonsense. They’ll make up for this by being hilarious, which is more than payback for the hours that you’ll have to sit and listen. These signs are always questioning everything, constantly curious and open to all kinds of new ideas. So, don’t be afraid to say all kinds of things – your Gemini is not easily shocked and likely already knows a little about the subjects that you bring up. Dates that allow for lots of talking are their absolute favorite, so make sure that you create an atmosphere where you can share your ideas together.
Gemini people generally show their love in a way that’s verbal. In other words, they tell you how they feel about you, whether that’s via text, email or in a face-to-face conversation. It’s wonderful to hear these things, so don’t forget to show them love in the same kind of way. They just love to be verbally appreciated, and they never tire of hearing “I Love You’. Another way that the Gemini enjoys love is by sharing their activities with you. And trust us – they have many, many things that they enjoy. When they draw you into these things, it’s a sure sign of their growing feelings for you. If they’re also integrating you into their (large!) friendship circle, this is also a positive sign of their feelings. Geminis are usually fairly detached and independent, so it’s an honor to be included in their everyday lives.
What Turns a Gemini Off
The number-one turn off for any Gemini is a lack of intelligence, or the inability to keep up with them during a conversation. They need someone on their mental level, more than anything. Smarts and a sharp mind are irresistible to the Gemini. So, if you’re feeling that perhaps you’re not quite up to scratch, then it may help you to read a little more about a variety of subjects (especially the ones that they are interested in), or engage in thought-provoking conversations, TV shows or books. This all helps to exercise the mind, and bring some fresh mental energy to your relationship. The other turn off for a Gemini is someone who’s not open to change and variety. If you’re stuck in a routine and can’t come out of your comfort zone a little, then your Gemini SO may become distant or uninterested. They enjoy a partner who’s willing to try new things, can shake their schedule up and be spontaneous.
The greatest strength of a Gemini is their adaptable nature. This is one of the most easygoing signs that you can get, a sign that’s willing to do anything, try anything. Life is an adventure with your Gemini sidekick, and you’ll get to try all kinds of new and amazing experiences with them. Plus, if you tend to be a more ‘fixed’ person, then it’s good to have someone who’s willing to be versatile with you. Their other strengths include the ability to learn anything very quickly, so if you tell them something once, they’ll hear it and remember. They also love to talk a problem through, so bringing things up will likely put them at ease, because they know how to solve a problem through clear communication. Geminis are also a whole lot of fun – you can take this sign literally anywhere and they’ll be right at home. They’re also not the clingy types, so you never have to worry about them becoming needy. They’re happy to do their own thing, and give you plenty of freedom to do yours, too. For some signs, this may trigger insecurities, but for others, this is a welcome energy.
Weaknesses of Gemini
The truth is that this sign gets a lot of flak. People will say that Gemini’s are flaky, unreliable and deceptive. Now, many of these things are true, when Gemini is in their shadow and not doing the work on themselves. The problem is that Gemini’s tend to believe their own lies, which does make things trickier. They’re not necessarily trying to be dishonest – they just believe that what they’re saying is right. This can make for a situation in which you feel ‘gaslighted’ – in other words, you might feel a little crazy when you try and show them that what they’re saying is untrue. This is the very worst part of Gemini, but not all Gemini’s are like this. Many of them have learnt the hard way that this is simply not the best way to operate. Gemini’s can also be quite difficult to pin down, so if you’ve tried to make a plan with them, and they cancel, know that this is pretty normal. It may drive the more consistent among you crazy, and you may have to eventually put down a few boundaries. If they can’t respect your time, let them go, in matter how charming and funny they are.
Strangely enough, one of the most compatible signs with Gemini is Scorpio. Yes, it’s a water sign, and yes, it’s ’fixed’, compared to Gemini’s mutable energy, but there’s just this powerful magnetic attraction between the two of you that can’t be denied. It may get a little dramatic from time to time, so do beware. Libra is next, being a fellow air sign and just as flirty, charming and clever as Gemini. Together, you’ll make quite the pair, and life will feel like it’s a nonstop flow of new experiences. Aquarius and Gemini are quite similar, and together, you’ll have the deepest and most fascinating conversations together. Sagittarius, Gemini’s opposite sign, is also highly compatible, with travel and knowledge being the centerpiece of this relationship. These signs are very similar, despite opposing each other, and conversations should be fascinating and insightful. Plenty of growth can be achieved here when Sagittarius and Gemini are willing to compromise.
Least compatible signs with Gemini
The one, main incompatible sign with Gemini is Taurus. Generally speaking, earth signs and air signs don’t really go together, as they simply don’t have a meeting point. But with this combination, that disparity is even more challenging. See, Gemini craves change and variety, whereas Taurus needs routine, stability and consistency. Taurus is also not all that willing to change, making life quite hard for even the most adaptable of Gemini’s. As such, these sigs can run into issue after issue, especially if Taurus doesn’t learn to adapt, and Gemini doesn’t become a little more settled. Another incompatible sign with Gemini is sensitive Cancer. Although Cancer is as adaptable as Gemini, their powerful, intense moods might be a little much for this airy, mind-orientated sign. Gemini doesn’t always understand feelings, and could get rather frightened by big emotional displays. The constantly changing moods of Cancer may also begin to wear Gemini down, in the long run.
