If You Want A Water Sign To Love You, Don’t Say These 5 Things

Are you interested in a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces? If so, then you’ve got a crush on a water sign. The zodiac is divided into four natural elements: water, fire, air, and earth. Each element has a particular set of traits; for example, water signs are typically sensitive, emotional, and intuitive. Here’s what you need to know about water signs, and the five things you should NEVER say if you want them to fall in love with you!

1. “I Hate Talking About Feelings.”

It’s not that water signs need to talk about their feelings all the time – in fact, most water signs are very private, and it takes a while for them to open up. But water signs experience their emotions very profoundly, and they need to know it’s safe to share their feelings with you when they’re ready.

If you’re closed off and tell them that talking about emotions makes you uncomfortable, your Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces crush will clam up even more. But you also don’t want to push them to open up before they’re ready. Gently saying, “You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to, but just know that I’m here to listen whenever you’d like,” is the secret to winning a water sign’s heart.

2. “I’m So Bad at Keeping Secrets!”

Water signs are excellent at keeping secrets, and they respect others who do the same. They are very protective of their thoughts and emotions, sharing their inner world with only a select few. A Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces needs to know they can trust you to keep their secrets before they will get close to you. 

It’s a huge turn-off to a water sign if you go around blabbing private stories or tell them that you’re bad at keeping secrets. They want a partner who will be their reliable confidante, not someone they can’t trust. While they are happy to whisper with you once you’ve become close, they don’t like to hear you gossiping about others before they know you very well. It makes them think you’ll talk about them that way and spill their secrets.

3. “I’m Not Really the Romantic Type.”

Water signs are incredibly romantic, whether they admit it or not. Cancers, Scorpios, and Pisces crave big romantic gestures, and they yearn for a partner who appreciates their sentimentality. Some people (and certain zodiac signs) are not that romantic, and that’s okay – they have other ways of showing their love and affection. But a water sign needs romance, so if you’re unwilling or unable to give them that, you might not be the best match. 

You don’t need to go all out with the romance right away – remember, water signs can be closed off, and they might become suspicious if you love bomb them. But simple gestures like showing up for your date with flowers, holding the door for them, or leaving a cute little note for them to find later can go a long way with Cancers, Scorpios, or Pisces.

4. “I’m Sick of Staying Home; We Should Go Out More!”

Some water signs are extroverts who enjoy going out and being around lots of people. But they mostly like spending time with a close circle of friends or their partner. Instead of a giant birthday party with everyone they know, water signs prefer an intimate dinner with their favorite loved ones. 

Although they know how to have a good time at a party or in a crowd, most water signs are homebodies at their core. They love snuggling up on the couch with their best friend or significant other to exchange secrets and watch their favorite TV shows. Don’t make your Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces crush feel bad about wanting to stay home. Either go out with your friends and let them do their thing, or – even better – plan a special date night at home together. 

5. “I Prefer the Mountains Over the Beach.”

Every zodiac sign is different, but water signs love – you guessed it – water! Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are represented by the crab, the scorpion, and the fish, respectively – all creatures that thrive in water and need it to survive. Whether it’s a long, hot bubble bath or a vacation on the beach, water signs adore being surrounded by water.

If you’re more of a mountain person or hate sandy beaches, keep it to yourself when dating a water sign. Let them enjoy their love of water and encourage them to spend more time with it. Water is extremely healing and restoring for Cancers, Scorpios, and Pisces. Draw your water sign lover a bath, take them on a romantic paddle boat ride, or plan a fun float trip down a lazy river, and they will fall for you.
